SHOULD I OR SHOULDN'T I. PLEASE VOTE NOW!! RICHARD

 

[Andy12345]

i vote yes

then you can ask a sensible question like, what to do about blurry vision or painful legs

enjoy

 

[Draven619]

I eat those a lot along with a lot of other **** i shouldn't, have done for nearly twenty years and now i'm paying for it with major circulation problems in several areas......it's your call m8 but tis a slippery slope good sir

 

[mrman]

I vote yes for the tea, no to the batternberg. Never liked marzipan, tastes disgusting

Nah, don't do it lol. Marzipan is the work of the devil ! (Yuck).

For once tiny slice of cake, you could have a veritable bucketload of sugar free jelly and cream. Lol

I love(d) marzipan, but vote NO!

 

[bernie.freeman]

The tea sounds lovely, I would have a tiny bite of the Battenberg..........

 

[Robbity]

Ditto ! A definite NO to the cake, but I'll allow you your cuppa without any sugar...

Marzipan is one of the things I miss most - our local shop sells almost as good as home made Battenburgs, but my husband seems to prefer the awful Mr Kipling concoctions...

Don't do it!! If I can watch my husband eat three Thornton's chocs and not have one, then you can ignore the cake.
How I love Thornton's!!!
Julie.

 

[Patch13]

Depends entirely on what it does to you.
Check with a meter, if you haven't got one, you need one.

 

[carraway]

No, because Battenburg looks like it's made from Play-dough. Get a wedge of home made fruit cake and do it in style

(The worry about loss of sensation in your fingers and toes)

 

[noblehead]

Don't do it......although 2 hours later it's a bit late!!!!

 

[Carol-P]

Well, if I'm going to do that, I might as well give up the diet completely and it's exactly what I want – chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate! I think not! I'll go for the cuppa and no sugar thanks!

Well if you eat it, you will have consumed 157 calories (37g slice and I doubt that's very big) . Almost all 'empty calories' ie just fat and sugar. If you do then go for a brisk walk, walking at 1-1.5 miles at four miles per hour. This will use up the calories and help to keep your glucose levels down.( It depends on weight because I'd have to walk over 2miles at that rate to use 160 cal)
(though as you wrote this several hours ago I suspect the decisions well and truly made!)

i was told recently by a team of marathon runners at a marathon conference thing that when we run we only burn 100 calories an mile on average, would you disagree with that? its a subject im very interested in

Do you want to eat rat poison?
Seems odd to me, but each to his own diet.

 

[Andy12345]

seems odd that its ok to eat battenberg i would liken it to rat poison with those ingredients
