If you could eat anything, what would it be? And a chance to WIN!
I was just checking out a book called The Shangri-La Diet: The No Hunger Eat Anything Weight-Loss Plan, by Seth Roberts, Ph.D.
Eat Anything. Anything. Really?
While I'm skeptical that you really could eat anything and lose weight and be healthy, I'm curious: if you could eat anything without feeling sick, full or fat afterward, what would it be? What would your 'Eat Anything' meal look like?
Mine would probably start with a rocky road ice cream appetizer, then progress to a poutine entree, followed by a towering pyramid of baklava for dessert, accompanied by a chocolate milkshake. Or two.
How 'bout you? For a chance to WIN a copy of The Shangri-La Diet, just Subscribe To This Blog and post a reply telling us about what you would eat if you could eat anything.
You have until Thursday, November 12 to let us know. I'll announce the lucky winner here on lucky Friday, November 13.

I would have french fries, prime rib, red wine and angel pie (meringue pie crust, whipped cream & lemon pie filling)
October 28th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
Pudding, apple crisp and ice-cream! Desserts mostly
Chinese food too, ginger beef with broccoli and lemon chicken. Salivating big time now 
October 28th, 2009 at 2:28 pm
all greens...seasoned with chicken malai tikka...
October 28th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Lobster, drawn butter and white wine...I've had the fatal allergy to shellfish for over 30 years and would love to be able to eat that again!!!
October 28th, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.....hmmmm...chocolate and, oh yes, more chocolate!!! Ok, I might want to squeeze in a sliver or two of pecan pie, but then it would have to be more chocolate!
October 28th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
dark chocolate - 70 to 80% IT makes my tongue curl just thinking of it! Also, deep fried dill pickles! yum!
October 29th, 2009 at 6:39 am
rappie pie(to die for), chowders, cheese,fried chicken, dark chocolate. I love food and it is hard to try and be sensiable.I do enjoy my fruits and veggies, especially broccili,bananaas,but munchies can also be my downfall.
October 29th, 2009 at 8:28 am
Definitely Mexican! Quesadillas, nachos and tacos. I have always been a cheese lover, but i have been strong in avoiding these dishes lately and miss them soooo much!!
October 29th, 2009 at 9:12 am
I would eat avocadoes day and night!! That is, if they weren't so expensive!! I was enjoying it to great lengths until a few people told me it's super fattening but with good fats...talk about a catch 22...anyways, I love it with salt and lime juice, and when there's no lime, lemon will do!
October 29th, 2009 at 9:25 am
Humm....triple chocolate, caramel cheesecake topped with brownies. They sell them at Your Independent Groceries. Those are a heavenly devilish treat.
October 29th, 2009 at 9:39 am
poutine,lemon pie, chocolate anything,
KFChicken, fish and chips,
October 29th, 2009 at 10:33 am
If I could eat anything and not gain weight and still remain healthy, it would be like finding the drug for the fountain of youth. And I would just eat ice cream, and I would be in heaven.
October 29th, 2009 at 10:50 am
If I could anything and not gain a pound or two, I will be eating a lot of international foods, such as Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and the list goes on and on and on.....
October 29th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
To start with I would have tasty taters and pan fried cheese, fried chicken with the super crispy skin, definitely poutine with lots of melted cheese and gravy, bacon, lobster and crab legs dipped in butter and to top it off...tira misu and creme brule...mmmmmmm. If only, haha.
October 29th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
very large cinnamon bun ...with icing of course!
October 29th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Well, I do eat whatever I want, just in small amounts. Any foods I don't eat are because they upset me ~anything with caffeine..(including chocolate) upset me so I have to be careful how much I consume.. (but I'm not a huge chocolate lover) or is way too expensive like prime rib roast.. yuuuummmmm!
October 29th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
Oh wow! What a fun idea...
Mine would be
Baked brie dip, followed by loaded baked potato soup, deep fried monte cristo sandwich and then greek salad with extra feta and olives, and top it all off with a decadent slice of chocolate cheese cake!
October 29th, 2009 at 8:18 pm
I love blueberries and would survive on them if I could, but for a meal I'd add some good quality dark chocolate.
October 30th, 2009 at 1:37 am
Vegetarian Vietnamese Hot & Sour Soup! I could survive on that forever!
October 30th, 2009 at 9:02 am
Lets keep it simple. A big ol double cheese pizza pie, washed down with a frosty cherry cola and finished with a giant slice of german chocolate cake.
October 30th, 2009 at 9:15 am
ceasar salad with lots of croutons and really bacon bits, a steak with mushrooms sauted in butter and garlic, bake potato with sour cream and chives and mushrooms and bacon bits, candied carrots and a nice banana split to finish it off.
October 30th, 2009 at 10:16 am
If I could anything and not gain weight, I would eat a lot of steak, pasta, potatoes with lotsa butter, and nice sweet desserts! And that's just for a start!
October 30th, 2009 at 12:58 pm
chocolate is my kryptonite.
October 30th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
Steak Tartar. I haven't had that for years!! Does anyone even eat that anymore? And then lots of cheesecake!!! All different flavours!!
October 30th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
ARE you kidding? Rice Krispie squares for breakfast, Kraft caramels up to a lunch of Macaroni and Cheese, snack on a couple of "chochie Bahs" (Mars, caramel, O Henry & Mounds) then a sensible dinner of "all you can eat" Pecan Pie! Have I died and gone to heaven...yet?
October 30th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
I would eat tacos all the time.

November 2nd, 2009 at 6:05 pm

November 2nd, 2009 at 6:25 pm

Accompanied by a Rose wine to accent.
November 2nd, 2009 at 9:05 pm

November 5th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
I'd start off at the all you can eat sushi buffet and then make my way to the all you can eat chocolate buffet!

Grilled sausaged, potatoes with lots of sour cream, fried red pepper bells, broad beans with fried onions, half a warm baguette (bread) with butter, large Strawberry, Butterscoth & chocolate Sundae with lots of cherries. Amaretto and italian pastries. I'm salivating!
November 5th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Green salad, Potage du jardin with lots of mozzarella cheese, lasagna and meatballs, a generous portion of marbled cheesecake with strawberry topping and chocolate syrup, as much as I want. My mother prepares this once a year on my birthday. I wish it was my birthday today.
November 5th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
Roastbeef with mashed potatoes, squash and lots of gravy, fried peas & onions, nice ceaser's salad, cheesecake and amaretto cookies, brandy and coffee. I bet I can all of this but not as much as I want. So, I'm skeptical also.
November 5th, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Appetizer: Escargot de Bourgoine
Entree: Lobster tail with drawn butter, Caesar salad
Dessert - Lemon Chiffon pie and a side of Zabaglione.
November 6th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
Bring on the Surf and Turf.. but make it a good sized portion of Filet Mignon (with butter based Bernaise Sauce) and two lobster tails with drawn butter. Add some hot buttermilk biscuits (again with butter) and a heaping mound of garlic mashed potatoes with aspargus on the side. For desert... just a Spanish Coffee please (but don't forget the whipped cream)
November 7th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Sushi, sushi and more sushi - some great sashimi, some special maki and handrolls ... and some miso soup and green tea ice cream (assuming that I could have it from my favourite sushi restaurant).
November 9th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
A real good creamy thick chicken soup with a ton of salt to start then a giant Chicken Curry with creamy Raitha and a truck load of popadums then and industrail sized chocolate swiss roll a whole one naturally with an ocean of whipped cream.... and all washed down with a sparkling white wine that makes me drunk with no hangover!I wish!
November 9th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
This one is easy--tortellini with alfredo sauce, accompanied by a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a tray of Nanaimo Bars!
November 9th, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Perogies and full fat sour cream
November 9th, 2009 at 7:14 pm
Well, this is truly the million dollar question! I would actually wake up early in the morning for starters! I would eat eggs benedict with hash browns and pan cakes. I would definitely make my way to some scrumtious Indian buffet--I absolutely love rice! Oh! Did I mention I would wear draw-string pants to make all this fit? Then I would make my way to eat lobster with black bean sauce and yes you guessed it--with lots of steam rice and oily hot sauce!
This would truly be a whole days event!
November 9th, 2009 at 7:45 pm

November 10th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
filet mignon with garlic mashed potatoes, crab and cheese canelloni,caramel cheesecake and 2 glasses of red wine...I can taste it already !
November 11th, 2009 at 3:59 am
if i could eat anything, my day's would start with hot chocolate and bacon ,ham, sausage and eggs, with pizza on the side,poutine for a snack, lunch would be kfc, poutine for a snack, dinner would be homemade fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, poutin for a snack, let's not forget the white wine, then i'd pass out,lol, with absolutely no exercise on that couch while my servants eat my fruits of no labour.!
November 11th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I'd eat pizza and KFC chicken all day long, with dark chocolate for all my desserts! And I would start with desserts each meal.
November 12th, 2009 at 11:04 am
I'd be eating a big bowl of rich, gooey homemade macaroni & cheese. Yum!
November 12th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Ahhhhh such things that dreams are made of!!!
Upon joyous reflection i think it would be a leg of lamb, cooked to perfection with homemade mint sauce and lashings of mashed potatoes with butter dripping from them. The veg would be spraggled with the sharpest cheddar and there would be a side of sour cream. For desert perhalps a pecan pie with the runniest of fillings and a generous scoup of real vanillia ice cream ....be still my heart. (NOT PERMANENTLY!!!)
November 13th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Eat your veggies or you don't get any dessert... was a sentence that I dreaded to hear as a kid and unfortunately I've adopted these words, on occasion, with my own munchkins... soooo if I could have anything and not gain weight it would certainly start with dessert, I'm thinking my nana's triffle (scottish style with liquor, jam cake and whip creme... NOT the fruit filled british version! Who needs fruit on this diet? Then I'm thinking mounds of already-cracked-and-peeled seafood, don't want anything like shells holding me back, can't forget the bucket of melted garlic butter for dipping. Oh! What about warm, crusty sour dough bread topped with whipped butter (for easy spreading)... mmmm. Then I think I'll have another dessert, just because I can, something chocolate perhaps... cake, I love cake with cheap store bought icing in a can... love it!! Notice what's missing? Veggies! Take that mom.
November 13th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
[... read more] my October 28 post, I asked you to tell me what you'd have if you could eat anything at all without [... read more]
November 16th, 2009 at 5:24 pm
I would love to eat freely at my local McDonald's. A Big Mac, large fries, chocolate shake followed by a hot fudge sundae. I would be very full but definitely very satisfied!
