Mam was always saying we had a simple diet: tea and bread, bread and tea, a liquid and a solid, a balanced diet - what more do you need? Nobody got fat.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Bread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored. Just bread and water and delightful toil is all I need - not unreasonably much, yet one ought to be trained and tempered to enjoy life in these brave wilds in full independence of any particular kind of nourishment.
Food is an important part of a balanced diet.
I dieted all the time in the Sixties, but we had no idea what dieting meant - we thought it meant not eating anything.
Every morning, I eat one fat-free yogurt with a sliced peach when peaches are in season, and one thin slice of whole-wheat bread. The same thing. I don't want to get fat. And I want to keep my fitness.
I don't think you can name one diet I haven't done.
The dirty little secret is that I grew up in a household where there were no carbohydrates allowed, ever. No cookies, no bread, no potatoes, no rice. My mother was very extreme in terms of what she served. Since I left home more than 40 years ago, I've been making it right for myself.
Well, I mean, bread, I mean, I've got to have bread too to live.
Oh, my friends, be warned by me, That breakfast, dinner, lunch and tea, Are all human frame requires.
I make myself eat one piece of toast for breakfast. When I'm doing 'Bake Off,' I eat soup for lunch. I know what puts on weight for me; it's just over-indulgence.
You know as far as diet goes, for a while I was really obsessed with counting fat grams along with the rest of the world.
