Health kick? Pah - just eat a bit less of it, or do more walking/exercise to work off the added calories... There's always a way round things. Marco's rule No1: never deprive yourself of what you like, as life's too short!
:exactly:
Marco.
In 2016 I quit the fags, and by the start of 2017 I was very nearly 17 stone. So, 2017 was a year of eating less and moving more, and for almost 2 years I made sure I did 10,000 steps a day, and watched what I ate/drank - lost 4 1/2 stone, but in 2019 I was bored of it and ended up gaining a couple of stone back. 2020 is very much a compromise year - as you suggest, eat less and do more, as well as consume more responsibly, so the steak today was the only meat we've eaten this week, and as it was fillet it was great to enjoy the flavour - and save a few calories without the sauce. :)Quote:

My well liked oatmeal stuffing.
Again done in ninja at fraction of time.

I don't disagree, but booze, *enjoyed in moderation*, and combined with regular exercise, needn't be fattening. It's also enjoyable. And you've got to have some vices in life!;)Quote:

I recommend no booze because when people have a glass of wine they cannot help but have another which applies more to beer. Booze is wasted calories. a bottle of red is about 500 calories.. I no longer see the point in drinking at all.
No i never drank in moderation because i drank to get drunk, absolutely no other reason cos i do not like the taste of alchol believe it or not & without out it i feel a million times better, even a Glass of wine would have me feeling shite so moderation with me is as bad as a gallon
Yup, I appreciate that, but not *everyone* is like that, dude, certainly not me, and others here I know are the same. Wine, for me, is simply an accompaniment to food, so a couple of glasses with a meal is plenty. What's left in the bottle, if Del doesn't drink it, is kept for the next day:)Quote:

Also, I don't drink wine just because I like the taste of alcohol, although that's obviously part of it, but rather to taste the GRAPES and lovely fruit flavours of various types of wine from different countries. If was just for the sake of drinking alcohol, then any cheap plonk would do!;)
