Carla Jenkins larger than life

[strawberrybonbon]

Bunch of bananas are about 60p. That’s one nutritious snack per day for less than 10p in a biodegradable wrapper

Or a £1.29 protein bar of nutrient deficient fake sugar and chocolate in a plastic wrapper

Wahhh!

Oh... and she fed her dogs chocolate chip pancakes

With chocolate being poisonous for dogs

It's because she thinks it will go off before she gets the chance to eat it, which is understandable, sometimes if the fruit is not that fresh in the first place it can go off, but alll you do is you buy very fresh fruit, keep it in the fridge, it lasts several days. which gives you plenty of time to eat it. What gets me by the time she's finished complaining about how much fruit is, she will have eaten a 7 pound rocky road cookie, bought a meal out every day & bought protein bars at 1.50 a pop and yep, fruits too expensive! I reckon her mind has not budged in years. She will have ignored anyone good advice and still drank her pepsi's ate rubbish etc. This is very difficult for her, she's had to change or admit that her diet was dreadful.
Another one who won't be told what to do is caroline mrs m, she refuses to change her diet big time. After a couple of attempts a slimming she has taken back control from the docs and decided not to get down to a healthier weight. I do suspect mrs m's nutrition is much better, or was, carla has stepped up to the challenge albeit with some complaints. Mrs m has a lot of visceral fat, which is not that healthy, don't really see her as ever wanting to change, she thinks she knows it all.

I buy fruit once a week for the rest of the week and it doesn’t go off.

Usually buy apples, bananas, grapes, blueberries and then other fruit when it’s in season like peaches, pears,,strawberries etc.

Apples, grapes and blueberries last beyond A week. The softer fruits have shorter lifespan but bought on Saturday they are eaten by Wednesday.

I’m still confused why, as a single woman who only shops for herself, she has to go food shopping nearly every day.

What was the bullsh*t about needing a bottle of water from Tesco for the dog? She couldn’t fill up a bottle at her mum’s before she left? She then ended up somehow looking at the reduced section and somehow buying a pack of reduced chocolate chip pancakes “for the dogs” which she ate three of.

She has a food addiction

I don’t get this woman at all. I would never waste money on those rubbish expensive protein bars but she’d sooner eat them than a healthy piece of fruit. And those packs of pepsi max and red bull they bought at Costco! God knows what her and Nat’s innards are like. Surely she knows how unhealthy these drinks are?

caffeine saturated drinks, nats knackered hence the state of her room caffeine keeping her going. My eldest son went through this at college, but not in his mid to late 20's, she's like a teenager. Knckered out on massively high sugar constant snacks quick energy, not long lasting, carla's habits changing meanwhile her daughter seems to be on a mission to be as unhealthy as possible. most of those protein bars are a gimmick, may as well have a mars bar, dairy is protein.

Any old excuse, eh Carla?!

Yes but we can’t be sure she gave 3 to the dogs, more like ate the whole lot

 

[TheresaGreen]

She didn’t, the dogs ate 1 she ate the other three!

3lbs on this week and she’s still arguing that she doesn’t need to reduce her daily calories.

She was under calories a bit over the week and said that “means a loss”. No, actually it doesn’t. You have to have an overall deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1lb.

I thought 2000 calories was daily maintenance amount for women?

If she’s “always under” her daily amount of 2000 then it won’t be any hardship to reduce it to 1800. Clearly if she’s eating 2000 and plateauing then she needs to change something.

When she was 27st 2000 calories was probably half her pre-diet daily calories, which is why she lost weight. After 2 years, Her body has normalised 2000 calories as her daily amount. The TDEE calculator doesn’t take into account her circumstances of being on a diet for 2 years, that’s what she is missing.

This woman should be a politician! She's never wrong, even if she was she'd never admit it, even if she admitted it, she'd never apologise. Stubborn to the point of embarrassing, I'd rather live in a van than spend a day in Carla's house, tbh I'd rather do anything than spend a day in a house with damp dogs, cooking odours and musty ebay purchases! Hand me the Domestos. 3lb on? Think yourself lucky or thank your editing yet again. #wereontoyou #proteinbarsrule #pancakegate #mollysnosehasitsowninstagram #hermiddlenameisboris

 

[strawberrybonbon]

Me thinks theres some lying going on.. She puts on four pounds, quote of the century "It's not so much the food" lol She's stubborn! Mind you we can all be when it comes to food. Ok here's why me thinks she's telling a few fibs or not telling her viewers the full amount she is eating. She whines that her viewers are saying its the meals out are the problem to which she states it's not, it's the picking at food and boredom at home, so wheres this extra food then on the diary eh lol. I think its both, meals out and boredrom at home, she rewards herself with food, something all mothers do, reward their kids with after, puddings treats, go to school again after and puddings after lunch. Society sets it all in stone. The lying starts at 3.15 seconds into the vid, let me know what you think. I'm not picking her apart, she has changed a lot, she's unbelievably stubborn, quite an arrogant trait, she's always right, well not this time, your diet was horrendous. She thinks no one else has to eat healthy, we all do, i look at a cake and I put on weight lol. but first step is she's fibbing, not telling the whole food diary story. Where's all this food she's picking at and eating when she is bored hmmm, we are the diet detectives lol



Can I say, would not surprise me if she has not put on more, that weigh in is one big lie.

The Only person she's fooling is herself . You're right bonbon, she's unbelievably Stubborn & Arrogant to even notice . She's a bleeping Idiot .

 

[arty123]

I could laugh at how sorry she looks for herself being so exhausted and having to go to bed at tea time. What have you done? Slept at creepy Caroline's, had breakfast, ate a massive lunch, driven home, ate a big pasta dinner and crawled into bed! Hardly a twelve hour shift at minimum wage madam!

 

[katt]

This is why you should not trust calories on a menu, on the latest blog she said the roast chicken for a half is 304 calories and it had the the skin on, and she said that is what the restaurant menu told her. You guys in the UK must half magical low cal chicken because I have gone through our calories counter in Australia and the lowest half chicken for a half I can find is round 480 calories.

[preciousstone]

Don't dare blame the pub grub for carlas weight stall, her snout is in the trough when she's not looking.

(apologies in advance )

 

[Anicecuppa]

I feel for her as I understand food addiction and staying basically on course for 2 years is quite a feat. I wish she'd open her mind to the fact that counting calories are only half the battle, and that she'd feel a lot less tired/hungry/craving sweet food If she'd replace all those cardboard individually wrapped " food " items and synthetically sweetened soft drinks with real whole foods and water based drinks.
Those sugar cravings go away within days once you stop eating it.

So agree with you! I also agree with her viewers, it IS those meals out, she kind of proved it on her last what did I eat, that baked potato with cheese and chicken, unbelievably high calories. She obviously socialises over food, perhaps she could compromise. She will have breakfast, then lunch and then another meal out later. It's of course her choice, I basically think paying for a breakfast is stupid and a total waste of money. It is nice eating out and you get to chat of course, but money wise and diet wise, it won't do you any favours, unless of course everyone else pays for your meal and you actually read the menu and quit ordering items with cheese in it.
If only life were that simple. I am more sympathetic to her now esp after seeing natalie buy that giant rocky road cookie, if she wants to destroy her teeth some more, then it's her own fault not her mothers. I think they both need help, positive friends who will support them in life, but as we al know by now, will carla even listen, stubborn as hell. Lexx has learned an enormous amount about low carb diet, she has educated herself, same as with her jewellery business, she earns a lot because she has learned a craft, she can identify gold, silver, gem stones etc. If carla researched like lexx she would find out that low carb is the key diet for everyone.
That said, it's not easy shifting a lifetime's habits onto new habits. Again, society, eff off with the crap you keep trying to kill us with. Would natalie have walked out with a great big plastic dish of just sugar for 7 quid, nah, they lure you in with giant cakes and treats, the brain says gimme gimme, the rest of your body says I can't tolerate all this sugar and fats, but the eye sees what it wants and the brain takes over.

Another quote of the day, from mrs m " I just don't do fruit"....we can tell, gin anyone? Carla be wanting some top slimming tips from mrs m there, weight loss font of knowledge lol What era is carla from, the war? Limited fruit? lol. I guess I'm from another planet because we had an abundance of fruit growing up. Grapefruit for posh people?? lol This is hilarious, I had grapefruit or orange sliced for breakfast most mornings. We would have pineapple, pomegranates, granted yes there are a few more nowadays, but what century is she in? This is just balls and lies. My mum would go to the market and come back with tons of fruit.
