Hairy Dieters

Just got the book and I'm off to the shops tomorrow! The recipes look easy and not overly expensive either so here goes.........

I'm a long way off waisting away, Nanadogs We're having the chilli and ginger salmon tonight. [yummy emoticon]

Sorry jeni well done too.

Love the image of the Hairies on your sofa 'Waisting away' are you Merlot?

I do my shopping list with the Hairy Dieters by my side (the book, they wouldn't fit on my sofa!) Other recipes can easily be adapted with their weight loss recommendations. I was disappointed that after the first half stone my weight hasn't shifted in over a week but then I remembered to measure my waist.

Got on the scales

This book is fast becoming my bible. I'd given up dieting as it doesn't work and just ate sensibly but could never shift that extra 10lbs. However, I'm working my through these recipes and when I jumped on the scales this morning another 2lb has vanished. Not treating it as a diet book, just as a recipe book with tasty and filing ideas. DH/MOF happy too.

(Certain recipes call for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I only eat free range so these can be difficult and/or expensive to buy. So invested in a cheap boning knife.)

Some of my nicest boyfriends had beards - then I met ex and he had a straggly goatee! [yuk emoticon]

I adored Jennifer!

I dunno - all this criticism of the Hairy Bikers because they are hairy...
take no notice, chaps!

I've watched quite a lot of their output, and I like the genuine [i]bonhomie[/i] and sense of fun that pervade them. Perhaps the most enjoyable cooking programmes since the departure of the late lamented K Floyd? Or the two fat ladies...

Dave was the guest on Countdown last week. He turned out to be an interesting character. There's much more to him than cooking!

I thought Dave? (I get them muddled up) looked very smart in his snazzy new suit. When did they go to America (Mississippi Adventure?) Hope it was before the diet otherwise they'll have to do it all over again.

I thought the hairy's had an impressive weight loss last night but dont loook any better as they are so hairy - please have a tidy up lads.

nfkdumpiling the recipes are online too.

Success! I've managed to order my Hairy Biker Diet book from Amazon. But choose the free five day delivery - which means apparently my book should arrive between the 8th and 13th September! I'll just have to stay fat a while longer.

That's dangerously high merlotgran. Well done on the weight loss ... quite amazing.

Nanadogsbody, I have a high cholesterol level - 7.8, which came as a surprise as there is no history of high cholesterol in my family. I eat healthily although I know I needed to cut down on carbs, Everything else is fine thank goodness so the doc is not unduly worried but I will have to be tested on a regular basis. I've managed to lose nearly half a stone in about ten days so I will now do what I can to lower my cholesterol as well. hmm

Good for you Jeni

I haven't posted on this recently as I was feeling rather down and my weight ballooned to 13 4 1/4.
So I took myself strictly in hand (don't tell gramps or Pete!) and am now a k to 13 3 1/4 this am, having lost a lb since Monday.
I've got to get into an evening dress!

PS hope your blood test results were ok merlot ? I've just taken a fasting blood test yesterday. Getting older is s bummer isn't it?

Glad you rnjoyed that Merlotgran I'm another 2lbs down. This is the best 'diet' book ever I think, as it's simply full of tasty filling recipes. The chicken and ham pie was another success. The only one that wasn't as tasty was the beefburger but next time I'm going to add a soupçon of fresh chopped chilli just for a bit if a kick.

Amazon have still sold out!

My book arrived yesterday. We've tried the Cajun spiced chicken which was delicious. I see Amazon has temporarily sold out so it must be popular.

Recommend the Spanish Chicken. Yummy.

I have never enjoyed their programmes, but this is different and Iam hooked and want to buy the book. I love the support they get from their families.
