Homeopath Hell!

By on February 25, 2008 in News

HOMEOPATH GOOD, DIET BAD!

So, following on from my coffee addiction post, I ended up going cold-turkey and literally stopping all intake of any type of fizzy drink, cups of tea and coffee and crap food.

This all happened thanks to a visit that Jen made to a homeopath in Newcastle. She was having a few issues with what she was eating and it was causing some discomfort. She had a chat with the homeopath and found out that she was intolerant to a whole host of foods including anything with yeast like breads etc. There were other big no-no’s such as fizzy pop, coffee, chocolate and other stuff that you shouldn’t be having anyway just out of common sense.

When we arrived home, we had a chat about the whole homeopath session, and I knew I had to give up on the coffee anyway so decided to help Jen along with this new way of eating and started it with her.

CRAZY, CRAZY DIET

I’ve done all manner of crazy things with regards to eating habits in the past. I’ve eaten too much, I’ve eaten too little. I’ve been big, I’ve been thin and I have been very muscular. Nothing prepared me for eating what most scientists would call “bird food”.

RAZZLE DAZZLE MY FANTASMICAZZLE

Holy mother of god! First things first, what the hell are Odeon playing at not showing Rambo!? They showed the trailers but forgot to get the movie. Not sure of the real reason they were not showing it but I bet they’ve missed out on a huge amount of money as Empire Cinema was packed out, not one single seat was left to occupy.

rambo John Rambo Rocks!

So if no one knows what the whole Rambo thing is about you have been locked in a cave most of your life and never viewed one of those box things that show pretty pictures usually plugged in to some kind of aerial or satellite.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT

If people think this is just going to be another Rambo movie which is pretty crap with rubbish special effects and a naff story line, think again!

How to stop my coffee addiction?

By on February 20, 2008 in Editorials

I LOVE THE STUFF

When I was younger I was never really a hot drink drinker, my soft spot was always milk. I used to drink pints and pints of the stuff usually with a Jammie Dodger as I am always partial to one of those as well. icon smile How to stop my coffee addiction? It wasn’t until the first part of my Army career when my drinking habits changed and I stopped drinking milk and become addicted to Dr Pepper. How that happened I’ve no idea but I used to go through 500ml bottles of it per day.

Later on in my Army career I noticed everyone else drank “hot brew’s”. I thought I would never be a brew drinker thanks to my lack of ability to drink something when it is steaming hot. However, slowly I became quite happy with drinking a nice cup of coffee with two sugars. I blame my addiction of Dr Pepper for the amount of sugar I have in a coffee.

Once the initial shock was over of drinking a hot drink, I started to NEED a cup of coffee and regularly had one in my hand even if I wasn’t drinking it. I am stil un-aware of whether this was down to boredom or because I am/was addicted. In my head it tastes REALLY nice.

FIRST THING ON A MORNING

The first thing I have on a morning is a cup of coffee, I don’t drink tea unless something has seriously gone wrong or there’s a major catastrophe and there is no coffee in the house/office. I don’t do this because I need “perked up” or I think it will help me get my head straight. I drink it because it tastes nice. Could I drink water? or milk for that matter, yes I am sure I could but I cannot stop myself from drinking coffee which bring me on to my next point.
