Diets

[Trickyvee]

My mam was always on some diet or other.I remember one was called the F-plan diet and she seemed to eat baked fish with onions every night. I was told I wasn't allowed to have any because it was her special diet fish, though she'd sometimes let me have a little bit. Now it is one of my favourite meals! Healthy forbidden fruit with a smell that takes me straight back to those days.

I've never had to diet but when Slimfast came out mam got some and I started drinking them because they were nice. Then one day I threw up after one and could never touch one again. Very sickly and easy to go off them. Like drinking cotton wool.

Re: Diets

My mum was also on diets throughout my childhood, though I don't recall if they were specifically marketed diet plans or just a decision to eat fewer calories. In the 70s, my dad was also on a diet for a short time. When he came home from work, mum would prepare him a plate of spinach with a poached egg on top!

Re: Diets

I don't know how many diets my mom had been on over the years. I do remember that she was on the infamous Beverly Hills Diet for the longest time. It was a huge fad when it came out in 1981.

Re: Diets

I remember my Mum doing the Cambridge diet in the late 1980s.

It seemed to consist of lots of packet soup & milkshakes (which always ended up lumpy), along with some crunch bars.

most if not all diets are bad for you.
i myself have never dieted i just eat sensible and that keeps me right.

my mum is always dieting but falls off the wagon when she sees cheesecake or choccie ice cream.
