A History of Dieting: Special K and the outer vegan regions
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/special-k-and-outer-vegan-regions.html
A History of Dieting. Monday, May 10, 2010. Special K and the outer vegan regions. Today I'm starting the "Hallelujah Diet". This sounds a lot more whackjob than it actually is. I'll let a crazy preacher explain a little more. Right, well that doesn't explain very much about anything except Barley Malt, which according to my bud who actually is a vegan (and has a lovely blog with lots of tips about it here. The Hallelujah Diet is basically a vegan diet. According to the website:. We chatted about what's ...

A History of Dieting: Day five
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-five.html
A History of Dieting. Saturday, May 15, 2010. Yesterday was a super busy day, and I mostly forgot to eat, so this isn't going to be a very long post. On my way back into town it occurred to me that I hadn't really eaten very much. I nipped into a shop and yet again, was presented with an assault on my delicate vegan senses. Being busy and being vegan aren't mutually exclusive concepts but it's tough, I tells ya. When I arrived home I was pretty tired from my day of running around (and not eating much pre...

A History of Dieting: A letter from a friend
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/letter-from-friend.html
A History of Dieting. Sunday, May 9, 2010. A letter from a friend. Since starting the blog I've been overwhelmed by the number of people who've approached me, seeing a lot of themselves in what I've written, and sharing experiences of dieting and body issues. One such person is a dear friend of mine. As someone who helps people daily in their career, she (somewhat ironically) only told me of her own experience with eating disorders and weight obsession after reading the blog. I was about your age when I ...

A History of Dieting: One potato, two potato, three potato, Day four
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-four.html
A History of Dieting. Thursday, May 13, 2010. One potato, two potato, three potato, Day four. I thought I should write this now while it's all fresh in my head- today was a long one from start to finish and I messed up a bit, so it's been an interesting day, if not a particularly successful one. This morning I forgot to eat breakfast, as per usual. Clever girl, eh? However, it's very easy to eat a lot of carbs. Bread has no dairy in it (for the most part) and wedges are just potatoes. It was perf...While...

A History of Dieting: Feelin' Vegan- Day one.
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/feelin-vegan-day-one.html
A History of Dieting. Tuesday, May 11, 2010. Feelin' Vegan- Day one. Before I launch into more self indulgent foodie tales there's an article by Louise France in The Times Online. About Gary Dakin, and an accompanying video. Gary Dakin is the man who has transformed the world of plus size modelling- now worth over $5 million, they're pulling punches that waiflike models. Another beautiful celebration of form is The Adipositivity Project. I can pick away at these all week! A little disheartened I was eage...

A History of Dieting: Day seven- no vegan heaven
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-seven-no-vegan-heaven.html
A History of Dieting. Monday, May 17, 2010. Day seven- no vegan heaven. Sunday we awoke bright and (not so) early. Last day of my diet and myself and Velo Vegan were rolling into town to check out Africa Day in the Iveagh Gardens and "Shakes- Dublin's first Milkshake Bar" on Dame Street, which we heard offered non-dairy alternatives for the non-dairy lovers amongst us. After breakfast, which was toast and jam (the boy had no non-dairy spread). We both opted for potatoes and spicy rice with some vegetable...

A History of Dieting: Day six- and feeling sick
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-six-and-feeling-sick.html
A History of Dieting. Sunday, May 16, 2010. Day six- and feeling sick. Yesterday was the second last day of my week long odyssey (I must check now how long an odyssey is actually supposed to be). Myself and the better half strolled into town. For breakfast we'd both eaten a handful of nuts which (worryingly) stated on the back of the packet they SHOULD NOT BE EXPORTED OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES. It was The Philippines' loss; those things were delicious. They're all vegan.". Oh Can I have a mix? I suppose tod...

A History of Dieting: Day three- I'm a level five vegan. I don't eat anything that casts a shadow
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010/05/day-three-im-level-five-vegan-i-dont.html
A History of Dieting. Thursday, May 13, 2010. Day three- I'm a level five vegan. I don't eat anything that casts a shadow. To be honest, that line from The Simpsons sums up a lot of what I used to feel about vegans. The vegan ideal, to me, seemed a little pretentious. How can you be completely ethical in what you eat and wear? This week's thrown up some very interesting facts for me though- did you know there are vegans who only eat things that have dropped to the ground? Where do you draw the line?

A History of Dieting: April 2010
http://ahistoryofdieting.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A History of Dieting. Monday, April 19, 2010. Welcome to the blog. In the interest of science (no doubt) some of my class and I are starving ourselves. Allow me to backtrack a little. Now, I am of course being glib. You know how people say, "I was a fat kid? Well, I wasn't. I was a painfully skinny child, and very tall. I was gangly, bless younger me, but I was. Very awkward indeed. I was, however, a fat teenager. And the weight melted off like butter. And then it came back again. I've tried Weightwatche...
