Have you tried the grove ? It’s veggie but they give you a serious amount of salad for 6 euro.
Where’s the grove?
I tried that new Peckish place. They were advertising grilled chicken wraps outside, despite being somewhat sceptical I ventured in there.
It was shit. I won’t be returning.

Cecil Street, kid. Like I said, it’s veggie but they do take away too. They have a few dishes along with a small or large salad plate. The large is fairly filling.
Cafe noir is the best for salads. They will put everything in until you shout stop.
Anyway, I met a friend for lunch and got grilled rump steak with hummus and salad and with a little sour dough bread toasted on the grill. Relatively healthy all in all I suppose, though there was a good drizzle of olive oil on the bread and I don’t normally eat white bread but there wasn’t much of it there anyway. A lovely double espresso after it.

That sounds good. Expensive?
This is turning into the ravenous thread…
Muck and torture on the villi of your intestines… limiting the absorption of vital minerals and vitamins in the process.

Bet you wish you had some soup now ya cunt.
I’m having quite a successful run at this modified Caveman diet. Completely attuned to eating no breakfast and just grazing all day. I did have pizza Saturday night, a beer every 2nd night or so and the most of a bottle of wine last Sunday. It may not be for everyone, but it’s working for me. Stomach very much back in nick, feel great and appreciate food alot more.
Breakfast is NOT the most important meal of the day. I have officially changed my mind.
Just a casual observation…
I was up in Dunnes Stores Terryland at Galway at lunchtime… I was waiting for someone for 10 minutes so I was watching the crowd coming and going, it was mainly female shoppers.
It appears to me that 2 out of 3 middle aged women that I saw were somewhere between being heavily overweight and obese.
This first world obesity crisis has hit Ireland heavily and state intervention is badly needed to keep this from spreading to further generations.

It was very good. 11 I think and 2 for the coffee, it was a bit of a treat. Not that I had earned it or anything.
Really? It’s that much worse than say, sliced pan? I’d say the small amount of it I had can’t have done worse than the rakes of guinness or the 4 slices of shite pizza after on sat night in fairness.

No worse mate.
Its just that it ruined what could have been a perfectly healthy meal for you.

Did it? Ah bollox. 
I’ve been ravenous all day, it has to be a side affect to eating so much junk yesterday- I’m tucking into a tin of tuna for a late afternoon snack presently!
Same here today…
Junk food quickly elevates blood glucose levels, giving us a short-lived burst of energy and temporary satisfaction; insulin is secreted in response… and doing the job it was intended to do, insulin drives excess blood glucose into the cells of the body, to be used either immediately or later for storage, and the resulting drop in blood glucose signals to the brain and the body that we are again hungry.
Research would suggest that this effect can be felt anywhere from 1 hours to 36 hours after junk food has been eaten depending on metabolism levels.

Shite leads to more shite - fat people get fatter! I hear ya…
trying to keep the fitness up over the summer so did the following training tonight
bench press 2x10 - 50%, 2x5 - 75%
then myslef and the fella im training with embarked on the most bizarre and excruciating work out
-
push ups for 20s, 10s rest - repeat x 8
-
sit ups for 20s, 10s rest - repeat x 8
-squat ( sit with your back aligned to the wall) for 20s, 10s - repeat x 8
-using a 12kg kettle bell weight yoke lift it with both hands from waist to the chin, for 20s, 10s rest - repeat x 8
-again using the 12kg kettle bell weight yoke, bend over and pick it up, then using your waist/hips as the source of momentum, swing the thing above your head keeping the arms straight taking care that the weight dosent slip out of your hand and fly accross the room, your body ideally should be in an almost state of perpetual motion ( well the only energy should be coming from the thrusting motion of the hips, so its not classically perpatual motion in an isolated system like Robert Fludd would have you believe, but u get my drift) its a killer on the lower back, this excercise can be called the “Jerusalem lower back thrust”, so not to confuse it with the Russian Squat, the Romanian lunge or the Ballinora heave - again do this for 20s, 10s rest, repeat x8
then i came home, its after 10pm now and herself made the following grub
-rice
-chicken fillets in breadcrumbs
-roasted sweet and normal spuds chopped into a parallelogram type shape
- glass of coke
i feel wrecked

Jesus you have a bad dose.
I’d rinse them every morning which keeps them pretty stable to be honest.
Family member is going for surgery on them next week actually. Has suffered pretty bad with them and needs the op badly.
Are you suggesting that the operation may only give a temporary solution? Has the drier climate had any positive effect on them?
