I thought about taking the Atkins diet when I move out of the house, and if and when I lose that weight, I'll switch to a veganier diet. is it possible. or will the sudden shift cause my abdomen to explode, and spray sulfuric acid?

No, your stomach is full of hydrochloric acid

I think my eating habits will improve once I am looking after myself. If there is food around I will tend to eat more, and my mother does like filling me full of big meals...that would go if I was on my own. Besides, I'll have to start the swimming again at some point...

I know that, but sulfuric always has a stronger effect on people, for some reason.

They both have pretty strong effects on people, ie, burn big holes in them

Here, have some NaNH2, to cool fire in your stomach.

Solly · July 20, 2003, 07:51

Why don't you ask for smaller portions.

And cut out the chocolate biscuits...

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 07:55

NOT THE CHOCOLATE BISCUITS!!!

And the line 'I will have to start swimming again' will probably be written on my gravestone...probably under 'Died 46 from being a lardarse'

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:04

Please Az, don't let him take away my choccie biccies

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:05

You can have low-card chocolate stuff..

That's like raw chips and decaffeinated coffee

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:12

You've tried all three then?

Az · July 20, 2003, 08:13

here, Richard. have some diet coke instead. Only one Calorie per can.

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:16

How much do you weigh now Rich?

I'm down to 13 stone dead-on..

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:19

You weigh the same as me for all your exertion

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:19

How tall are you? 6 foot dead-on here..

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:24

169cm...but of heavy build.

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:28

Your BMI is 29.4 - on the borderline between Overweight and Obese.

Of course you are of heavy build with a BMI of that.

Your health is at risk, I suggest you try Atkins.

Az · July 20, 2003, 08:29

"Wide bones", heh?

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:35

That's what they all say

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:38

I am fine thankyou

Az · July 20, 2003, 08:39

That sounds like a great line to put on someone's gravestone, as well!

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:40

Unlike Stew, I don't drink to excess. Touche!

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:42

Stew, it's you with the massive insecurity crisis about your weight, not me. If you are trying to use me to massage your own ego, look elsewhere, because it ain't going to work buddy

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:44

Huh, my BMI is 24.7 within the normal range.

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:47

Then why are you on the Atkins diet then?

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:48

Because it is healthier than pumping yourself full of carbs and insulin, and I wouldn't mind losing a bit more.

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:48

But why do you want to lose more if you are already fine? That is insecurity...besides the pancreas secretes insulin...

Solly · July 20, 2003, 08:50

Insecurity? No.

Nothing wrong with self-improvement.

You might like to try it some time.

Provost Harrison · July 20, 2003, 08:52

Your body is quite capable of metabolising carbohydrate, in fact, carbohydrate is the preferable metabolite for all organs...surely tricking your body into thinking it is starving and making vital organs function of ketone bodies is far from healthy? By my reckoning, your body would cut it's metabolic rate considerably when this happens.
