I woke up this morning and checked the news to see what the world had been doing while I was asleep! The first thing I saw on the BBC website was an article that said Catherine Zeta Jones has admitted her diet included having a bacon butty for her breakfast ! When I then checked there had been 400 articles written around the world in the past 24 hours about it (make that 401 now!)

An example one being Zeta Likes A Bacon Butty. Now the bit that made me smile is that somehow this is supposed to be shocking that somebody eats bread and meat and is still slim ! As if when you get to goal weight or are slim that you can only have special K for breakfast and nothing else or you will suddenly puts loads of weight on. Now it's 10am here on a Sunday morning and I am just about to sit down to a fry up, now it has eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, black pudding, beans and a couple of rounds of toast! But shock horror! I am still slim ! The secret to this phenomenon? It's called moderation! I won't have a fry up tomorrow and will probably just grab a bowl of cereal or some fruit for my breakfast. I am off to the cinema this afternoon so will just have some popcorn for my lunch and then probably just a stir fry or something for me tea.

SHOCK HORROR! Slim guy eats sausages!

When I first got to goal I used to worry so much about what I could and couldn't eat but you can lose weight if you eat just one mars bar a day and nothing else, you can gain weight if you eat 40 rice cakes a day...because ultimately it is pure calories ! If you put in too much fuel you will hold it and if you don't you will burn it. There is no secret! The reason I lose so much weight so very quickly was that I was a huge guy eating 400 calories a day, therefore it was no miracle I reduced weight, it was pure maths! So well done for Catherine Zeta Jones having a bacon butty! I hope she enjoyed it but ultimately I question whether it is really news or just somebody living their life in moderation.

Did you know?


That you could make a bacon butty for under 250 calories! There are lots of breads out there on the supermarket shelves that are under 50 calories a slice. You can also find low fat, slim bacon for under 60 calories a piece!

Nice article - thanks.

In the last paragraph it mentions that the THEDIETGUY was eating 400 calories a day - how did he have enough energy to function? That's less than a quarter of the rda calories.
