We are going to get on well, I can see
haha! This is the first January that we've had Sloe Gin in the house! It normally gets used up by early November! OH is doing his best to use it though!
I'm pretty careful about mushrooms. If I'm not sure about a species we give it a wide berth. Added to that there are some that are easy to recognise but don't go well with alcohol. I've never tried it but apparently some of the effects can be worse than an overdose of low carb chocolate! IYKWIM!!

My ex's Thai bride is an expert at the wild mushroom thing. They have a freezer full of them, but I'm still not convinced she wont bung in a baddun to try and kill him off lol. I can't talk I once made a curry that I knew had bananas in when he couldn't tolerate him, muahhaaaa!
I've learnt that I do actually have an off switch for alcohol. Now if I could only configure it to kick in about 3 or 4 drinks earlier I'd be made!

Oh yes that is so true. I put on most of the weight I've just lost between the ages of 18 - 20 when I was first at university and ate from the takeaway when I'd finished in the pub and came out starving!

I'd like to learn what makes people stall and how common a staller a particular food item is.
So I've come up with a plan!!!
A list (Oh boy I love a list!) Anyone want to Play??
If someone has a stall food add the item to the list below and add "one" to the total number next to the item.
If the item is on the list and you agree, with the stall food just add "one" to the total next to the item. If this is your first "add" - add one to the total number of people commenting so I can work out a percentage of the people that suffer a stall and calculate how prevalent the problem is.....
If nothing stalls you just add one to the total number of respondants!
Not very scientific - but it will act as a resource to see what stalls people and how common a staller a particular food type is! As a control I've added carbs to the list as I assume Carbs stall everyone which will give me another total of respondants!
Maybe a little bit geeky - but as I've stalled for three weeks now I'd like to get a handle on this!
LOL I'm obviously not a teacher so hope I've explained this well enough!
Here's the list to quote in your posts - when you rush to add in your stall foods!!
Things that stall:
Sugar Alcohol 1
Carbs(!) 1
Cream 0
Cheese 0
Total respondants =1

Thanks Michael - It'll be interesting to see if we mirror the Atkins figure that Diet Coke (Aspartame) makes 25% of people stall or is it the citric acid! So many variables to consider!!

Well after I posted about this in that other thread I see you were one step ahead of me! This is a very good idea.
Things that stall:
Sugar Alcohol 5
Carbs(!) 5
Cream 1
Cheese 1
Diet Coke 2
Nuts 1
Sugarfree jelly 1
'low carb' bread 1
(I find sweetners stall m sometimes, and cream and cheese if I have too much, but haven't added those as it's just sometimes? And I'm okay with a little peanut butter but eating a handful of nuts regularly would stall me... AND sometimes things stall me at late stages that didn't at earlier ones.)

Even after a day this list is really interesting - especially the sugar alcohol - definitely a no no from now on....
Thanks to everyone that has put some input in so far
