How about a war on bad british teeth and bad hair?

[Mr. Rabbit]

It isn’t just being “overweight”. It’s being lazy, atropied, 280 pounds of chewed bubblegum from sitting around all day getting no physical exercise, and eating rich high calorie foods.

Better to get into a habit of eating reasonably (not like a baby with no self control) and exercising on a regular habit.

Maybe Boris wants to imprison fat people until they are skinny? :ROLLEYES:

[RoosterRedux]

Ditto. Keto and fasting.

I'm in. Can we do soccer too?

I hear it makes you fat. And gay.

“If Boris goes after french fries...”

Not to worry, he’ll go after chips, instead...

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Forced dieting and workouts, snack snitching neighbors and government weigh monitoring.

What could go wrong?

...and they’ve spent the last 2 months getting everyone in the UK to say “OUR GREAT NHS!!”, with the media repeating it every millisecond, and celebrating it every night.

Good luck to anyone looking to make a proposal that is something other than the NHS.

You can see the brainwashing happen, oblivious to those it is working on. Quite interesting to watch.

I'm experimenting with fasting too. I did five days last week and was shocked at how easy it was. Now I'm on Day 4 of another one and really, the only problem is mild boredom.

You really realize how much we eat and drink for pleasure, and how little we actually need.

my blood sugar was high so I've taken the plunge on keto...I am sure I'm not doing it right yet, and I will probably not be doing 100% correct....I am eating too much right now, but no bread,cereal,pasta,rice,etc....

I figure once I get my blood sugar down, I can work on the calories and the weight....

my downfall is chocolate...I can pass on cake and pies most of the time, except lemon meringue.

Thousands of groups for advice. Here is one of many https://www.dietdoctor.com/

Remember that character from Popeye who would eat a plateful of cheeseburgers? I'm that guy. My favorite food bar none!

[RoosterRedux]

I have been fasting periodically for many years. The easiest way for me is to skip the nighttime meal several days a week. Not only do I not miss it, I often forget about it.

I drink plenty of water when I fast because, rightly or wrongly, I think my system is flushing out the wastes of whatever it is breaking down and eating.

I always feel wonderful the next morning...and light on my feet.;-)

Best of luck with your keto and fasting.

[A_perfect_lady]

Thank you! You too!

[A_perfect_lady]

I am eating too much right now,

Actually, from what I've heard (and experienced) when you first start out, go ahead and pig out on protein. After a few days, your appetite should start to recede a little naturally.

It’s still a standing slur among UK Leftards to call Americans fat-now that they’ve seemingly caught up, I just have to laugh.

[Amberdawn]

I can’t wait to hear what Nigel Farage on LBC has to say about this.

If I have to go on a diet, EVERYBODY has to go on a diet.
