Hi, I'm Katy Tulip.
My 'home' on the BBC Messageboards is the Archers Boards.
Way back in the spring of 2003, a group of posters there decided to meet together once a week to offer support, encouragement and advice to anyone wishing to lose weight, or dealing with weight-related issues. Thus the Mustardland Fat Club (MFC), hosted by Marie Squirrel for almost three years, was born.
As time went by and the popularity of the MFC increased, two more specialised 'sister' threads came into being: the Cybergym, devoted to fitness and exercise and hosted by G Em, and the MFC Cookbook, concentrating on all issues relating to food, and hosted by me, Katy Tulip. You can find it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbarchers/F2693944?thread=4636503&skip=0&show=20" >http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbarchers/F2693944?thread=4636503&skip=0&show=20.
These two ‘auxiliary’ threads have become permanently "rolling" ones, running alongside the main MFC thread, the latter still in its original weekly format, and now hosted by a group of regular posters taking turns - more details in the MFC Rota thread.
We meet every Tuesday in The Village Hall on The Archers' messageboard section, and our meetings are open to everyone.
We in the MFC firmly believe that the best diet for you is the one that is most suited to your specific needs and circumstances, so among our number we have followers of a whole spectrum of dieting regimes, nl. Weightwatchers, Slimming World, Atkins, GI & GL, South Beach, calorie-counting and the Carb Addict diets. Then there are also a number who are just trying to eat as healthily as they can, or are maintaining after having lost weight.
The recipes contributed by many in this Cookbook reflect this diversity, and where possible, have been written such that they can be easily adapted to suit different regimes. This is also why the nutrition/dieting information for each recipe will be edited to show all the different values for the seperate ingredients, rather than just a total for the whole dish, so that they can easily be substituted or adapted where necessary.
If you have any suggestions and tips for improving this site, or would like to report faulty links etc., please feel free to either post them in the MFC Cookbook thread in The Village Hall, or you can email them at this address: [email protected].
Peace and Health,
Katy Tulip
Cheers,
Katy
