Tea *is* my magical diet food. Replaced those many cans of Coke I used to drink every day. Provides a gentler kick in the morning than Coke or coffee. Is actually somewhat good for my teeth, too.

Now you'll have to excuse me, a new shipment of Lapsang just arrived.

hmm... I would have to say the food im perpetualy craving would have to be mini shortcakes. Sliced strawberrys that have been fermenting in there own juices coaxed out by a helping of sugar on a mini cake with a small amount of whip topping. Extreamly decident but oh so amazingly flavour full. Though you could go a tad healthier and eat the sugared up strawberrys without the cakes and topping.

me and my sister went on a delightful dieter's tea (green box)it was fantasic we both lost about 5 pounds in one week i totally recomend it

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:40:10 +0000

I would love to have deep fried stuff deitable. *sighs* i love my deep fry chicken

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:47:20 +0000

My magical food would be....circus peanuts. They are quite the comfort food due to the childhood memories that come pouring forth whenever I eat them.

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 03:53:23 +0000

My magical food....I need more than 1! Circus peanuts, pizza, waffles, peanut butter, bourbon (I guess that doesn't count as a food). But, if I can only choose one - definitely peanut butter. darn, now I'm hungry

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 04:00:06 +0000

This book looks so interesting I'd love to read it.

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 07:28:32 +0000

this is great-- i need to get off the diet coke and milo's tea...my magical diet food would be fettucine alfredo. no chicken--no nuttin' but the cream sauce and pasta

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 13:37:25 +0000

yeah

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 16:56:44 +0000

My magical diet food would have to be pizza. If I could stuff my face with that warm, gooey, cheese and crunchy crust all day AND loose weight, I'd certainly think I'd died and gone to heaven.

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 19:27:29 +0000

I just want everyone to know I have this book :-) I'm currently reading a chapter here and there. So much for new years resolution lol. I'm a tea freak so it seems like the perfect thing for me! I have to stop procrastinating and actually read the book though lol. Oh btw my magic diet food would be pasta

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 00:34:51 +0000

magical diet food? anything chocolate.

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:02:51 +0000

one word: cheese

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 16:18:15 +0000

i would have to say that my 'magical diet food' is ice cream. It's always there when i feel down or just need that something extra at the end of the day. Ice cream can make any rainy day a bit brighter.

Mon, 03 Mar 2008 20:50:53 +0000

hm mine would have to be sushi, then id HAVE to eat it all the time XD

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 01:15:12 +0000

Magical diet food...hmmm at the moment im pregnant so everything is magical diet food. Books not really going to help with cravings nor my crazy roller coaster appetite... nor will it help me lose 10 pounds. But I could certainly use all the help I can get after my bub is born. So my magical diet food would have to be a hot chocolate with Tim Tams eaten like a straw...bite off a small end of each corner and suck till you get milk then pop the whole Tim Tam in!!! It just melts in your mouth...i have yet to find anything as magical!!!

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 04:58:17 +0000

If I had to choose just one it would be dark chocolate, but there are others that I could add to that list.

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:14:27 +0000

Dark chocolate, I love that stuff!

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:15:35 +0000

mmmmm tea, that would be a wonderful book to have~~
oh but maybe not as good as a 'rack of ribs smothered in bbq sauce' or perhaps 'a 24 pack of pepsi and a few dozen snickers!!!!!`` if only i could find something wonderful to replace it all??? But what?

Thu, 06 Mar 2008 23:44:36 +0000

i think my magical diet food would be bread & butter pudding. yum yum.x

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 23:44:35 +0000

Emi
Emi

I drown myself in tea all the time...
At the most, I drink up to probably 10 cups a day
or something like that...

I wish chocolate had magical dieting powers!
Then I'd probably be the fittest girl around...

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 02:47:20 +0000

I would love a pixy stix diet!

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 17:22:24 +0000

MY magical diet food would be sushi believe it or not :D With pizza, burgers, fries, cakes, and sweets, I can enjoy them, but I will get sick of them within the seconds; however, with sushi I can never get sick of it because it consists of my four favourite things: seaweed, rice, some soy sauce, and the filling( which is avacado, crab meat, fish...hmmm yum)It's like a party in my mouth. I was born to eat sushi, and meant to live with it :D Quite cheesy but so true to deny.

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 03:01:38 +0000

My "magical food diet" would consist of the following:

Brekkie: Waffles with a blob of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. A glass of diet coke and a handful of Haribo for the bus ride to work.

Mid-Morning: For the mid-morning peckish time a nice cream bun with jam, or if I'm feeling savoury then salt and vinegar crisps!!

Lunch: A jacket potato with butter, chicken, sweetcorn and mayonnaise following by a chocolate brownie. And more Diet Coke of course!!

Mid Afternoon: Sweets!!! Haribo, skittles and maybe a Kinder Beuno.

Dinner: Taglitelle with a creamy mushroom sauce and bits of chicken, mushrooms and spinach. Topped with grated cheese!! And some garlic bread of course, the inner bits not the hard end bits lol!

Dessert: A vanilla custard mullar rice, mmmmmmmm!

Now that would be my 'magical diet' if I wanted to put weight on.......unfortunately that is not the case!!

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 21:27:20 +0000

Mine would be something that's tasty, and not hard to keep. I have tried tons of diet things, but none of them are that great. Probably my magical diet would be something along the lines of ice tea and some sort of healthy chocolate.

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 14:14:33 +0000

Great! I Really Want That Book Too :P
My Diet Hmmmmm

Well If Only everything Was my magical Diet..

i could go to different countries and try their food, and when i go out i always have dessert!
plus the Bad thing i do is go out for exercise for about 2 hours then come back home and eat chocolate, crisps, and probably other fatening stuff.. but if i had this book and everything was magically not fat, then i would be the skinny one of the bunch!

im about average weight for my age..(I think and hope!)

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:36:56 +0000

i love this pasta salad at trader joes. it has spinch, almonds, and pesto sauce, that goes perfect with ginger lemonade... ugh.. but they never have it in stock. you have to be there when they first arrive or you have to wait like another month! ahah. thats how good they are! oh and sushi. i can NEVER get enough.

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:12:02 +0000

My desired magical food would have to be chocolate chip ice cream!

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 02:14:49 +0000

Chocolate chip ice cream!

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 02:25:00 +0000

Tea and its many incarnations are yummy

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 06:48:34 +0000

It would have to be the "SEE FOOD DIET" - anything goes! Isn't it true that it's all good in moderation? :)

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 05:07:59 +0000

Honestly, it would be Tea. But really sweet, milky tea, which I'm guessing isn't what they're recommending ;-)

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 19:17:59 +0000

I would have to say diet coke or coffee! It fills you up, and under 10 calories (unless you dont take your coffee black)

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 03:27:54 +0000

subway MMMMMMMMMMMM.....

Sat, 29 Mar 2008 03:28:31 +0000

dill pickles would be my #1 magical food diet. soooooo much sodium but soooooo good

Tue, 01 Apr 2008 03:30:07 +0000

Well it's less a diet food than a diet drink... I crave soda... ALL the time... yes I'm more than likely addicted to caffeine... Sooo yea x3, if I could lose weight and keep my kidneys by drinking soda all day every day :p I'd be good..

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 02:17:30 +0000

mmmm white chocolate macadamia cookies!!!! yummy!

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 08:56:45 +0000

If I could eat sushi, chocolate and red wine and lose weight I'd be one happy camper! (But you know, I like tea too!)

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 00:06:17 +0000

A summer fruit and vegie diet.
