but I had roast beef, roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding last weekend. I consider that low GI because of all the fat ;) and I only peaked at 5.5 so seems good for me. Although the hot fudge sundae I didnt do just replaced that with a coconut and almond flour muffin with a scope of vanilla pod ice cream. For my second pudding I went and swam a km

So you have to think of something much more extravagant.

How about a pack of crumpets with butter dripping through them or english muffins with apricot jam just oozing out of them or even apricot crumble and custard and follow it will have to be bread and butter pudding made from Andy's left over white bread

OK. I'll have three crumpets for my day 2 brekkie!

Well, I just put down the meals I would like there and then...and yes to my surprise, I found out that they weren't completely bad. But crisps and chocolate are a definite 'no' for me, because why would I stop at 2 packs and 1 bar?!:)

we once had a sponsored challenge in the office for a girl I worked with to eat a kilogram bar of cadbury's dairy milk in a working day. we all sponsored her so much a cube (from memory it averaged to eating one cube every 5 minutes). She struggled but finally managed it but told us she was unable to sleep for 2 days as she was bouncing off the walls - I now wonder how high her numbers would have been lol. We do silly things in our youth

It is interesting I used to love my bread, always said I couldn't live without it; but actually I don't miss it at all. It is weird because I eat a far more tasty and varied diet than I used to so may be that is why I don't crave things I used to have or may be it is my brain as it knows I won't give in. Or is it may be because I still eat chips regularly (shock horror) but only 100g ish at a time (about 6 big chunky chips)

Interesting though that I just watched my daughter eating a bowl of cornflakes in ice cold milk and I really wanted some. Don't think it was the cornflakes more the milk. I have been depriving myself of this wonder substance with just 1/4 pint in morning so I would like to add

Large glass of ice cold milk to drink alongside the white bread, with roast beef, apricot crumble and chips to go in the bread

I'd like a nice big Cornish pasty followed by rhubarb crumble with lots of custard and a lbig slice of lardy cake with my coffee afterwards. Thanks. Oh, and I've discovered that the fat in a lardy cake slows down the absorbtion of te carbs and allows me to have a small slice every now and then. Yummy.

A vanilla slice. Not the poor quality ones that are called "snot blocks" though. In the past my treat when shopping was to stop for morning tea with a refined version vanilla slice: deliciously sweet, perfectly textured custard encased in a crunchy pastry shell and topped with even sweeter fine icing and washed down with a double shot latte with sugar.
