Comment on Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it.

  Yep. Only potatoes and salt, plus multivitamins to make up for the massive nutritional defecit, for 5 days. I was already experimenting with an elimination diet due to food allergies and a friend mentioned this week long potato diet to help reduce food cravings. Potatoes were a safe food so I thought I’d give it a try.

  It was awful. Day 4’s dinner was an entire pizza.

    Yeah that’s not the same thing as a bland food diet, that’s up there with the cabbage diet for how awful it is.

    Mine is: Scrambled eggs made with cottage cheese + porridge for breakfast Chicken, salad (no dressing) and rice for lunch Chicken, vegetables and rice/sweet potatoes/lentils for tea

    No sauces, just dry herbs/spices as a rub.

    Snacks are two protein shakes, naked bar (counts as a one a day of fruit/veg allowance), banana.

    Repeat for past two years. Before that it was lentils, avo, boiled egg, before than goats cheese salad for lunch.

    Its boring as fuck when you do it for months at a time but it works for me. Controlling

      Based on context clues, you’re British… isn’t the food bland enough already? I kid, I had great food over there. But, you know, take the shot when you see it.

        Yeah we stole all our good food from our former colonies and improved on them, see curry.
