I seriously need to detox myself for the next five days - got major night out planned next Thurs and I don't think I can fit in to my dress! I've been overdoing the food and booze the last 2 months or so.


Has anyone tried a detox diet that actually worked? I was going to try the Jason Vale Juicer thing but I can't be arsed with all the juicing involved. Oh and I know all the weight will go back on when i start eating normally so you don't need to tell me. I just need to lose 3-4lbs or so before Thurs.


Yours bloatedly,


JJF

What IS detox? Doesn't make sense at all.

Just eat healthily (and you don't need to be told what that means) for a few weeks and exercise a bit more than usual and you'll be fine. I do realise that means over Christmas. The body takes care of itself and gets all it needs from a good diet. Quite often too much of some vitamins and minerals (like you'd get in juicing) can be bad, or the body just chucks out the excess anyway!

Wouldn't it be better to go buy new clothes?! That's what I've done. !!

Why not try a colonic? Let me know how you get on will you? I wouldn't dream of trying it out myself, but that sinister Scottish woman Gillian McKeith seems to consider it the way to go... Have you noticed her web site? She has been air brushed to look about 18 when she is in fact 109 (gasp).

The thing about juicing is that eating 5 carrots in one go probably wouldn't be a good idea and would take some time but juicing them would give you a good cleansing juice and you wouldn't get bunged up with all of that fibre, especially if you will be eating a whole beetroot and three apples too.

There are special bath crystals that can be purchased at SpaceNK called INA detox crystals. Apparently they are so very detoxifying that they turn the urine orange... They are a snip at only ?44 per bath. I haven't tried them myself, my mother in law stole mine when she visited last summer and was almost admitted to hospital when her unexplained "symptoms" developed. I don't think that she will be rummaging around in my en-suite again for a while (sigh).

(Quite) a while ago Mrs O organised the whole oldie family and we did the Ian Marber Food Doctor Diet. It's a seven day detox plan and I found it (lost just under half a stone in a week)incredibly effective and I liked the recipes. Apart from that i've found the quickest way to lose weight is to cut out the carbs, bread, pasta, rice, drink lots of water, no booze and get a bit more exercise.


It's ok for a week but one wouldn't want to make this a lifestyle choice. Well, I didn't.

No carbs for dinner and eat little and often during the day. Try to get more cals from protein rather than carbs (not easy!). Carb up in the morning by eating a good sized portion of museli that will keep you going till lunch. Drink plenty of water over the corse of the day (around 3 litres if you can).


Limit caffeine intake - nothing after lunch if you can. If you drink milk based coffee, then always use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk.


If you do a desk job like me, you need surprisingly few carbs to get you through the day. Snack on fruit or popcorn!

Aren't seaweed wraps meant to make you lose a few inches instantly? I think they work until you drink something and the natural weight resumes.


If you had one on Thursday afternoon you could get into your dress. Just don't drink champagne or you'll turn into Cinderella.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
