Pros and Cons of the Lemon Detox Diet

Well after finishing 3 weeks on the Lemon Detox diet- doing it the Spanish way - which means drinking the lemon/maple syrup drink over the day but still having salad/fish/chicken I have managed to lose and keep off 3kg!

I have had a break for 10 days - lots of good healthy food , and some other celebrations thrown in, and fat has stayed off....

I can recommend the Lemon Detox diet as a great kick start. It gives you results early on, which can be important when you need a psychological boost as much as anything.

Enjoy, love Bridget x

New Years Desolution!

Twas the month after Christmas,
And all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,
Not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled,
The chocolate I'd taste
At the holiday parties
Had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales
There arose such a number!
When I walked to the store
(less a walk than a lumber),

I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...
I said to myself, as I only can,
"You can't spend a Summer, disguised as a man!"

So, away with the last of the sour cream dip.
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
Till all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.

Lemon Detox Diet 2010

Loving only having lemons, palm and maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
Unsure why exactly I feel so good with it - but I do. I am into day 4 now and have lost 2.3 kg and have lots of energy and am only doing the relaxed version (AKA the Spanish Version).
My aim is to stick with it for another week....

Sultana cake competition

Well, I would like to think I am able to bake a few things - nachos, cheese, sauce,; stir fry ; chicken soup etc... But the rules/ingredients/presentation are all very "friendly" and informal.
I think the big difference in being a good cook and being a "chef" is the attention to detail.
I am watching a show about a competition in country Australia about the best Sultana Cake!
I am stressed listening to Merle recite all the rules - the colour to expect for top points, cooking tips (apparently cakes grow white spots after a few days - the remedy to decrease something....).

OMG.

I do believe she is taking the strips off someone in the front row.

This show is quite amazing. Coral won - but she confesses she is a little nervous going on the bus to Narrabri and also that she has to cook another winner cake within a few months!
"yes, the tricky (?) rainbow cake".
Pricless. Thank-you ladies for making make us who we are.
