@Theresa KCs is the only reason I wanted to live in Douglas / Rochestown when Himself announced we were moving to Cork in 2008. FYI they are closed this Saturday.

I hit 13 stone so had to have a think.

I cut out all takeways/ pizzas, they fetured a lot more than I realied.

I now cook my meals from scratch 90% of the time – veg featured a lot. I lost 3 stone over two years and it has stayed off more or less.

Last week I had 2 chinese takeaway nights in the same week………insatiable cravings for msg and salt were torturing me……must have been due to the weather.
I have not had any chinese takeaways in 2 years so I think its evened out.

I think takeaway once a week is a lot, it’d be more once every month for me. Neil Prendeville was talking about this yesterday on the radio, and he said “A lot of people think Chinese food is fairly healthy”….. Who!? I mean, I love my prawn crackers, but come on! Healthy they certainly aren’t.

Saying that, I think it’s a ridiculous study by Safefood, I mean is there one person in the country who thought a takeaway WAS healthy? They’d be better off putting their energy into finding a way to make broccoli taste like crisps.

I can but dream….
