Trust me, you don't want to start the 'no breakfast, no lunch, loses weight' scheme. I did. 6 months down the line and I'm on the verge of being referred to a doctor/dietician because I'm on the verge of a full blown eating disorder. And you don't want it. It is so hard, I thought it would be great not eating, I mean it would stop me eating so I would lose weight, but its made me miserable, trying to make myself sick, planning how I can get away with not eating my next meal without anyone realising. Finally admitted I had a problem and worried the two mates I told so much that they're as scared as I am. I have exams soon and I'm a wreck.
Don't do it. Take it from someone who knows. At least think about what I've said.
a yoghurt for breakfast. too lazy for cereal. at lunch ill scrounge off my mates for food. at dinner ill have a nice dinner - typical example last nice fish and chips. then for supper ill probably have seconds, or cook myself something (like burgers)
It's s tasty. I want a steak now
i completely agree.
and if you dont end up with an eating disorder, as soon as you start to eat 'normally' youll put all the weight youve lost back on... not to mention that youre body needs vitamins, proteins etc for growth and repair...
But do you drink alcohol?

Is there any danger of being overweight or underweight in this diet?
Breakfast: Cup of tea, toast and honey or a bowl of cereal and a banana.
Snack: Fruit. Lots of fruit. Water.
Lunch: Salad or tuna cob or jacket potato and a yoghurt. Some more fruit. Water. Today I made myself pasta with chicken and peppers.
Dinner: Pasta, rice, salad, meat and potatoes, jacket potato - A homely, filling meal. Water or fruit juice. I had a greek salad with cibatta bread tonight.
Pudding: I try not to have chocolate bars or pastry for pudding anymore and have fruit or a go ahead bar instead, but sometimes my dad makes or buys delicious cakes and abuses my lack of will power! Damn him....
I have to have at least five portions of fruit and veg a day. Everyone laughs because I'm always eating fruit. But eating the real thing is better than pumping yourself with vitamin c tablets. I only take evening primrose oil and cod liver oil tablets.
I find when I'm with my friends is when I eat junk because drinking and eating crap afterwards just goes together. Ahh well, everyone is allowed a few vices.

Lunch- pizza and sun chips
Snack- jelly beans(yum yum yum), vanilla coke

Bob-e : ur diet sounds like one of those you'd find in a magazine lol
"you may decide that if living longer means eating rice cakes then you'd rather chow down on both barrells of a 12 bor shotgun"
i dont know whether you are male or female but i also eat this much, and weigh the same, and im female and also 5'10" so that is a good weight for my height...
problem being tho that when you read cosmo or something u see that women complain with eating like a family size bag of doritios in one sitting - i can do that and not gain weight :S i suppose i have a high metabolism or something - i just consumed 7 stawberry alpen bars *drools* in the last hour and im still hungry
oh well..
love ya xx
Breakfast - normally an orange juice and a banana
Lunch - two bread rolls with turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato and pineapple
snack - mini mnm's, jelly
Dinner - Pad thai chicken stir fry with rice stick noodles - mostly all vegies.
Dessert - a milky way
But i do a lot of exercise, so sometimes i have a little more!
salad and something sandwich for lunch
then a meal in the evening
Mind you, i dont eat a thing from friday lunch time til monday morning--im usually to hungover/coming down to stomach food all weekend.... very unhealthy! :rolleyes:
Im 5foot 5 and 8stone which apparantly is a healthy weight for my height but i def dont feel healthy!
Snack: kitkat and juice
Lunch: Sandwich,chocolate biscuit,crisps and juice
Snack: crsips,chocolate
Dinner: A healthy meal normally with a yogurt/fruit
Hmmm...think i eat too much junk food
Brekkie- 2 weetabix + skimmed milk, 2 slice wholemeal toast
Lunch - Jacket potato + tuna and salad ( although i do have salad cream)
Dinner - depends on what i'm doing. Pasta if i'm running/netball, steak and veg or salad if i'm not.
I eat pretty healthily most of the time although i'm pretty relaxed about my diet and if i fancy something i'll have it. I exercise quite a bit so i'm burning it off most of the time. Plus i can't eat fried foods as my stomach isnt really able to digest the fat very well.
Weight 8 1/2 stone.
Since getting out the army (2000) I've finally put on some weight, I'm now around 11 stone and 5"11 which I'm happy with.
My usual daytime pickings go along the lines of:
Breakfast - Danish Pastries (or) Foot Long Subway
Lunch - Something Cooked (ie. Lasagne)
Dinner - Something Cooked (ie. Spag Bol/Stirfry)
I usually drink about 2ltrs of Coke a day as well, sometimes with 1ltr of fruit juice or milkshake.
I don't exercise (except in clubs) and find if I do have a night out at one of the clubs on the weekend then my eating kinda halts for 2 days or so, usually due to stimulant drugs...
Breakfast - Apple or sumit like that
Dinner - Usually a salard box or a chinese chicken baguette!!
Tea time - Pasta, Salard, stuff like that! Healthy stuff :rolleyes:
Bed time - Glass on milk!! Lol
If Im hungry inbetween meals I usually have either some fruit or bread! Mmmm I love soft, thick white bread
*runs downstairs to kitchen to get bread*
For lunch...I either don't have anything or I have another bowl of bran flakes
For tea I have whatever my dad cooks which is always healthy, like chicken and lots of fresh veg like broccoli
If I'm hungry in between I eat fruit - I have a real thing for oranges at the mo'
But I never eat chocolate, crisps or sweets - I'm not boasting - I had (have) an eating disorder and eating that stuff does bad things for my mental state, so I find it better to just stay well away :no:
Breakfast - Mullerice, banana
Lunch - Some sort of meat and salad sandwich or baguette
Dinner - Bowl of pasta with tomato sauce
I also drink alot of cups of tea and cans of diet coke and about 3 glasses of water, i have to constantly have something to drink with me, unfortunatly in the evenings thats usually a few glasses of wine.. :eek2:
