Once you add the three tablespoons of peas, and the half a courgette, and the three tablespoons of beans, or corn...that's it. No room for pasta or rice lol.

Well, maybe it was the half banana, who knows?

It was the walk!

Fat veggies: I was skinny till I became a vegetarian. Totally f*cked up my metabolism. Do *NOT* recommend.

The things I have on my "not veg" list are either high in carbs or high in fat. I'm not getting into the whole tomato's-a-fruit / no-it-isn't debate.

Can't have a good vindaloo without tomato anyway.

I was at my heaviest the years my diet was vegan+fish... I was also nursing at the time, which supposedly keeps 15lbs on, but I blame the carbs anyway. Every veggie (not vegan) Ive know has been a cheese and bread addict, and most have been overweight.

My most successful diets ahve been high in carbs. My body burns them really efficiently it seems. I find most people who have had a fluctuation in their weight know what works for them and what doesn't.

I refuse to cut out the fats I enjoy (dairy) but can happily steer clear of pastry, cakes, biscuits. It's harder this time round because my Mum has a sweet tooth and there are always LOTS of tempting, small, snacky sweet things in view. I would never buy them myself, but the temptation to have just one biscuit seems to apply every time I open the fridge. Not helped by the sugar cravings that come after a long time on the sauce.

Still, I'm making this tomorrow (with the variation that I'm having a pork chop rather than chicken, because I have one to use up). It may not contain full portions in 5 a day terms, but I will be eating RED onion, GREEN peas and YELLOW sweetcorn. A result, methinks.
