I cut loads of Aspartame out of my diet about a month ago when I saw how much I was consuming. My average day would see me consume 1 of the 600ml bottles of Pepsi Cherry Max at lunch and the Sugar Free Chewing Gum and Sugar Free mints. I still have Sugar Free Gum after eating or drinking (Dr Pepper for example) but now I just have a glass of Juice at lunch (Dr Pepper one or twice a week). It might be all in my head but I honestly thing I am sleeping better now and my dreams are less wierd.

Can't remember the last time I bought a fizzy drink. I have those Juicy Water things sometimes, which have some sugar, but that's about it. I do have a chocolate habit though.

Ah one of those stupid eat no carbs diets. :p

I lost 27Kg. While eating steak, cheese, yummy fish, lots of eggs and tonnes of bacon. I felt stupid the whole time, but that's no more than usual :)

I got really stressed out and pushed over 100Kg. I started keto on the day my scales told me I weighed 107.

During the last year I had to deal with a reorganisation at work as well as passing uni. Threw the keto out the window and gained about 12Kg. Want to lose 15 now to power through below 80.

I lost 5 stone on keto. Teedles and Yoni have had success with it as well.

Caveat - I'm 6'3 and not a midget, went from 250lb to 180lb.

I'd certainly recommend it to anyone who's struggled with weight issues.

I lost 80lb (Fuck you frenchies with your stupid kg) eating all kinds of shite but more importantly, burning it off with the help of strava and myfitnesspal.

Back to squash... I can still get Ribena from Tescos, but apparently those days are numbered. FFS I drink shit loads of water but when I have a cold/ sore throat all I want is hot ribena.

Most squash is a chemical shit storm. Ribena less so, due to all the sugar. I know sugar is bad.

Yet I can't shake the feeling the artificial sweeteners are the new trans fat/margarine... Years from now the advice will be cut out the artificial chemical crap sweeteners and go back to ( a much smaller amount) of sugar.

I don't see sugar as bad though. Unless you are trying to sell something without sugar or are the fat tongued cunt bubble that is Jamie Oliver.

I used to drink a shed load of full fat Coke. Given up fizzy drinks entirely now. I actually prefer water. Tried some Pepsi the other day. Couldn't believe how sickly sweet it was.

If I can just give up the chocolate... but the cravings...!

Grapes are nice but sometimes only a Toblerone cuts the mustard

And the salt and chilli prawns from my local Chinese are heavenly

If you want to drink sugary stuff you should be allowed to and the shops should sell it.

If people become addicted to sugar and in doing so become morbidly obese and develop health issues its their own frigging fault. Proper parenting and taking responsibility for yourself as an adult is the answer.

I don't have any answers for what the NHS is supposed to with a 30 stone fat git with heart problems due to eating 8000 caloriees a day. My gut reaction has little sympathy for them

Completely disregarding previous posts; how do you fellas prepare/eat the Squash?

Imo it works best with stews and casseroles (same thing?). Tried it on the grill once, not doing that again.

Not sure how to respond to that, so I´ll just go ahead and put up a picture of John Cena.
