Why dieting is hard

Friday, January 8th, 2010

PaulM makes some comments on my veggie burger video. I was going to reply in the comment stream itself, but I think he touches on an important diet-ish point that is worth discussing here. The simple truth is that most diet advice is rubbish. And the reason it’s rubbish is that it is to overeating [...]

A Word From Her In Charge

Monday, May 11th, 2009

[Finally managed to convince Gym Bunny Wife to explain her side of the story. T] I’ve always enjoyed cooking.
