    I had hummus, carrots, cherry tomatoes and pitta bread for lunch. Am I going to die?

    Cherry tomatoes? Are you mad?

    Don't you care about your carb intake?!

    Indeed. Given I've spent a lot of the last week eating upwards of 200g of sugar a day and have gained zero weight, I'd love to see it.

    Some bastard snuck into the climbing centre during lockdown and increased the gravity. I am absolutely fucked after 45 minutes bouldering.

    Say "Computer reduce gravity to Mars level", see what happens.

    I have fallen off the wagon so hard the last few weeks. Alcohol is my downfall. Once I have a few beers, the work outs stop, the walking stops, the running stops. Pretty sure the only way I can get healthy is by going tea total.

    I think you could just weigh yourself multiple times a day instead of giving up alcohol.

    Going back to work has made my weight loss flatline. Lost 3st in the last lockdown but stayed at 14st the last 3 weeks.

    Unsurprising really, less running, less control over diet (I manage a bar and restaurant). I am dragging myself out this morning for a 10k before work today though.

    Half-term has been my undoing. Mainly in terms of exercise rather than diet.

    Work is about to ramp up too but at least being at home most of the time I’ll keep some control

    The lack of self control after alcohol thing is why I try to limit it to once or twice a week. It's easy to go a bit mental once you've had a few.

    You don’t even have to go ham. Typically you’re drinking at the end of the day after calories have already been accounted for in the previous meals, so any additions are just stacking up excess.

    Morrison’s have started doing some low calorie salted caramel ice cream…..84 cals a stick.

    They are like fucking crack…..also perfect for nullifying the craving for sweet food.

    Never been affected by alcohol like that really, I drink spirits mainly anyway. It definitely knocks my performance the day after though, at least 10% off my usual output if I’ve had a few martinis the night before

    Ah, the old latch on to something that was said once, and then repeat it ad nauseum because it's just absolutely hilarious and definitely not tedious as fuck.

    I have discovered that red wine is my issue in terms of alcohol intake. I love a beer but usually done after 2 or 3 these days unless on a sesh in a pub. I might then only have 1 or 2 G&Ts before being done. But if I start on the red, there is no stop valve. I am incapable of just having that glass with dinner. And then the next day, diet does out of the window too. So yeahz I should give up really.

    The only thing that doesn't do it for me is straight spirits, but I rarely drink that as I need to be in the right mood for it.

    4 beers on a night out for me plus food so that’s an extra 800 calories for beer and 1000 for food.

    And then bacon sandwich the next day.

    My stomach now pops out of my clothes when I sit on the sofa.

    I think it's always the next day that's worse.
    When I used to "get on it" most of it would come out in shit, piss or vomit the next day but the food...that stayed.

    Ok so help me here EG collective. I tend to eat waaaaay too many carbs.

    Ironically, I really like fresh veggies and fruits but I just find them a bit too much of a hassle to prepare compared to, say, boiling some spuds or eating some bread. Plus I find the carb rich foods far more filling.

    Oh, and I don't eat meat (do eat fish though, if that helps)

    Any advice?

    I was super similar, reducing bread and largely avoiding snacks helps me.

    I’ve kept tea the same as before to hopefully dodge the urge to binge after restricting unsustainably

    Bizarrely, that's at once the easiest and hardest to ditch. I really don't rate bread but it's almost impossible to find something for lunch other than sandwiches around here. Well, disregarding stuff that's even worse (doughnuts and the likes)

    I almost don't snack actually. I don't have a sweet tooth and can easily stick to three, even two, meals per day. It's mostly supper that's the problem; it tends to be a silly amount of carbs.
