I can't help the fact I don't like much veg or salad I can't eat what I don't like. I will eat some veg with a roast dinner as long as I have roast potatoes to eat with it and covered in gravy. Salads I only eat when I have a BBQ it's not something I could eat everyday or once a week/month etc. I have seen a dietician and went on a course for a few hours to carb count which I didn't totally understand but use a book to help with that. I haven't always felt hungry like this, I would say its only been in the last few years. I just seem to have weeks of it.

For 39 years I couldn't understand the appeal of salad, and I didn't paticularly like cheese, until in America this January someone asked me if I wanted to shared a blue cheese salad. Changed my perception of salad forever. Now I eat it almost every lunchtime, with half a Tescos roast chicken, and I'm hardly ever hungry.

What about chicken, cream and mayo? That's about 70% of my calorie intake. I'm going to starve to death now
