UKC Fat Club is not a substitute for giving up pies and beer but to use in addition to such self denial as a motivational tool for all.
This training article by Dave Macleod includes a section on dietary advice from a climber's point of view:

A new thread is posted each week on Sunday for anyone to jot down their previous week's sins, noting goals, successes and failures and to swap ideas.
Anyone interested in starting is very welcome but you should aim to post each week, every week, however little or much you have eaten.
By making such a regular public record of your activities and by restating your goals every week this will hopefully
improve your eating habits to help achieve your weight loss/maintenance goals whatever the level of your current blobbiness.

practicallypixie: 2 pounds down. Let's hope the crisp eating marathon doesn't take it's revenge.
AndrewW: Same weight; not so good booze wise.
Exile: Same weight still.
Fatclimber: No weight lost, but none gained. Looks like exercise is going well.
Sleepy_trucker: 2 lbs down, and less ciggies and booze. Doing well.
Dick, Still a Fat B: Hope feeling better. Climbing too much?? Heresy!
Choss: Hope you're feeling better.
VS4b: Has now lost over a stone. You are our star performer I think.
Ciderslider: Going into hibernation by the sounds of it.
I am away from home for the next two Sundays and won't have easy internet access (I know - hard to believe in this day and age).
Can anyone volunteer to do the start-up post for the next 2 Sundays (9th and 16th)?
