[QUOTE="Kingsland, post: 932171, member: 182489"] Oh I give up! What have we been saying? Have you even [U]looked[/U] at the websites we've recommended? Well, here to save you the bother, is a list from the Diet Doctor of what you should and shouldn't eat. Can you bring yourself to print it off (or copy it by hand if your printer isn't working) and PIN IT UP IN YOUR KITCHEN (actually thats what I did.) This may not post properly as its 'copied' from another site - but see if you can understand it. [SIZE=6][B]3.
