How do you like your chips?

I don't really eat carbohydrates anymore, so I eat neither Chips or Crisps if I can help it...

Don't worry - all the carbohydrate will be cancelled out by all the fat!

Hahahahah, double whammy... Yeah, what's wrong with a nice bacon sandwich :-)

Nothing. There's nothing wrong with a bacon sarnie. It's when you have them every day that you'll get problems :-)

In all seriousness, I really don't think it's wise to cut out a whole food group. You need carbohydrate!

You're right, I should say, refined carbohydrate (including rice and potato).

Ahhh ok. You need glucose too - so have some bloody chocolate ;-)

Actually, I think chocolate is really good for you. It contains:
- Cocoa (a bean - probably one of your 5-a-day)
- Milk (high in calcium and protein)
- Sugar (comes from a plant so how bad can it be? Probably also counts as a vegetable!)

In other words, if you don't eat it you might die!

hehehe... so if we include a few cups of coffee (which contains several beans per cup), I'll be ultra healthy :-)

Yes that's true! Actually some recent research has shown that caffeine strengthens the blood-brain barrier, degeneration of which has been linked to dementia disorders like Alzheimer's.

It might if you eat enough of it. I'm going to try it and find out!
