The ultimate diet tip

I finally this morning cracked that magical barrier of 74 kg. (Shut up, I'm very tall and I have big bones.) I'd been stuck at that weight for many months now. So when I saw the elusive weight of 73.5 kg appear on the scales (babysteps, babysteps), I tried to figure out what I'd changed in my diet in the last few days.

The only thing I could come up with are these:





Nigella's choc chip cookies. They are delicious. And easy to make! And apparently the ultimate diet food. In spite of being half butter, half sugar, half chocolate. (Yes, I have a maths degree. Why do you ask?) They are so heavy, though, and HUGE. I have been scoffing these ever since I made them two days ago.

My second ever time baking and I stumble upon the holy grail of dieting.

  2. I have no idea how heavy 74kg's is, so I'm still picturing you as incredibly thin. :)

  3. Awesome - I'm going to have to add these to my repertoire. And I'm clueless and lazy too - would have to google a conversion to find out your weight in pounds!

  4. These cookies may come back to bite you in the ass. But in the meantime- enjoy.

  5. @cartside - You really should.

    @Brit in Bosnia - You wouldn't believe how good.

    @Creepy - You should. It's easy and scandalously delicious.

    @erin - Great! Just don't go looking it up.

    @Christy - Do! And don't!

    @Ms. Moon - They're finished now. :-(

    @Badass Geek - They are, they are. *sighs wistfully*

  6. Hia Mwa, found you via the fab Maternal Tales.

    Love your new diet. Nigella's cookies look seriously yum - or did you Photoshop those picis? I'm addicted (for real...I get cravings and everything!) to dark chocolate but figure that if it's 85% cocoa and the other ingredients include cocoa butter, vanilla and lecithin, then the sugar content must be negligible. Think that makes it practically a health food, right? (Can you tell I'm a trainee nutritionist? Um, no I thought not...)

  9. I try to stay away from Nigella. I'm convinced she is always trying to feed me...then my ass gets fatter....then I hate her. It's a nasty cycle.

  10. Reminds me that my sister used to say that she thought her second baby was going to be made entirely of chocolate fudge.

  12. I want to eat cookies and gain weight in at least one or two places! But somehow I don't think that will work for me... and how cool is it that you get to weigh yourself in kgs., making all us slow american's consult a metric converter before we figure out how much you weigh (I didn't actually consult one, btw, 'cause any change that makes you feel better is a good one) ;-)
