Mike thank you for another fabulous week on. I just love them.i will be trying a few things from this weekon that's for definite.i hope you and grace have a terrific weekend.i have to say it was a joy to see basil tucking into the prawns he absolutely loves them doesn't he.its great to see him actually come to life.brilliant!! Peace and love 💛
You know, it's really nice watching you do a week on where you are mostly happy. The schadenfreude for the torture you do to yourself sometimes is certainly something entertaining at times... but this is much better. Also, my wife would be remiss but to point out (before you go shopping) that you got a beef bourguignon. If you go looking for a stroganoff you may get something entirely different from your expectations ;)
When my cat needs to take tablets, I grind them up into a powder between two spoons and mix it in with his wet food, similar to how my mother used to get me to take aspirin (crushed and mixed with a blob of jam) when I was.little. All other attempts to get him to take any meds fails miserably, often resulting in my needing stitches.
When I got my cat a new cat door she refused to consider using it. All my attempts to cajole & persaude her were met with the statement that she didn't know how to use it & anyway she didn't need a cat door as she had me to stand there & open the door for her. I put a saucer of prawns outside the cat door & shut my back door. She looked out through her cat door & had found out how to use that door within two seconds. Do not give your cat many prawns though theres too much salt in them to be good for cats.
Well we are individuals & so our bodies also react different sometimes especially to diets. Stress is actually a key factor in weight gaining. So a week on "happy" food can actually be WAY more important than the ingrediences in the food. Even your cat was prawn-happy, aka a happy environment can make the difference. Oh and getting enough sleep is extremely importent too.
Made me giggle when you said, 'But I'm hungry noooowwww... DX>' Glad Bas a.k.a 'Princess Di' is okay too. Another awesome week-on, Mike! ^.^ I always enjoy your reviews, a real treat to watch!
Well that was a very enjoyable week on. I would still be curious to see what you eat on a normal week to make the comparison. I also wonder if you have tried a week on paleo? Or would you consider doing a week on Indian food, or on Turkish food? No matter what you choose, I.m already hyped for the next one (and I am curious about new cotent!).
I think the reason why you do not put on weight in weeks with more unhealthy/calorie rich food is that you are more aware what you are eating and do not have extra snacks because of filming. Most ready meals are made smaller when high in calories as well. In some studies people were asked to recall their food of the day and most forget the extra glas of coke, the mid day cookie, finishing the leftover cake of their child...... which are the extra calories that makes them fat.
Funny how meals cooked in the oven (beef stew and dumplings and lasagna) tasted great. Lesson to be learned? Throw your microwave away or just use it to warm up beans and soup. You missed the absolute best taste the difference item. The big blueberry cheesecake....they are £6 and they are the greatest cheesecakes ever made...in the entire history of cheesecake making. But dont buy them people as they tend to sell out and sometimes i cant buy them because they sell out too fast.
Can you please re-do the week on Iceland! They have loads of different lines now from restaurants and lots of questionable frozen goodies! Also maybe a week on pizza? Keep up the good work Mike!!!!!
I wanna see a week on kid's meals! Like; meals and snacks advertised to kids (Ella's Kitchen; Annabelle Karamel; Little Dish; Supermarket own kids meals; heck, eat Farley rusks and jars of baby rice for all I care!)
There's a big age gap between me and my younger sister. I had Farley's rusks when she was having them (I was still a child then) and on my god as a full blown adult now I think of them and how lovely they are every so often. As an adult I bet they taste awful and child tastebuds are likely very different. nostalgia is weird.
9:30 I am sad. I recently became lactose intolerant and it blew my mind at how many products has some form of milk in it. I can't eat pizza, Mac & cheese, chocolate I have to be careful of. I recommend that Mike tries a "Week on dairy free" Aldi's sweetened Soya milk is delicious. Asda's dairy free lemon yogurt is a must. Avoid Ritter's Peppermint chocolate though. Down the bottom of the ingredients it states "may contain other milk ingredients" even though milk isn't mentioned in the main ingredients and now I'm paying the price. It's like trying to funnel Niagara Falls through a straw 😫💨💩
@@Totallyrandomthatsme I know he did a week on vegan, but Mike only scratched the surface on the milk free alternatives. I just thought it'll make an interesting week on.
Would really love to see yo utry a Russian Diet for a week. Great foods, great varieties', Actually rather healthy and And I think you would enjoy the flavors.
Calories in versus calories out. You can eat all that in a week and still lose weight if you're eating less calories than your body burns. You're only eating your three meals a day so you're most likely still below the calories your body needs in a day. You can eat cake every day for a week and still lose weight. Doesn't matter how much fat, salt or sugar is in it as long as it's under the calories your body burns you will lose weight :)👍
Have ya noticed how your a beef man Mike. Remember the sliced beef from the Iceland vids. Now the beef stroganoff and the beef stew and dumplings. Beef is defo your happy place!
I was binging on the few Shameful Sequels I can find on RUclips while I cleaned this morning and was happy to see this waiting for me once I was done :-) Great Week on Mike, try not to be such a stranger next time around!
Heya Mike and Grace. We have 2 corgi's and a cat and one of our corgi's started getting allergies pretty bad. At first we did a shot from the vet, but when that wasn't working that well my wife found an Immune System & Allergy Supplement for dogs. They are like treats so its easy to give to her and it has worked really well! It seems there is some for cats too so perhaps something to think about instead of just meds that is hard to give to him. :)
I'm glad that they came in a foil tray, I could imagine him microwaving it and naffing it up, you can't microwave dumplings they come out raw dough and soggy Pasta doesn't do well in the mico either
one thing i have noticed that with the fast food week on's one you haven't done yet and i think one thats the best out all the burger places is of course burger king what do you say mike
Wrap the pill in ham or stuff it in cheese if you haven't already 😉 Edit; maybe you need to eat fatty stuff to loose so much weight. I noticed when you did a week on keto you also lost a lot of weight.
I think Mike did not really lose 2 pounds of weight. The human body's level of water changes due to many factors every day. This may have given him a false conclusion.
You lost weight because you’ve been consistent in the gym, also your breakfasts were small so you probably were eating the daily recommended calories but burning a couple of hundred off in the gym.
Noone is asking you. There's a dining table in every video but Mike gets the recording out of the way in the kitchen and then goes to sit and enjoy the meal with Grace.
It was the power of the medditeranian diet. It's so awesome it caused you to loose weight ever since! (I am not being serious in the slightest here. Maybe you just exercised a lot this week)
Work out all the stats from this days food 😬 Just between your beef stew and lasagne you had close to or over 100% of Fat, Sat Fat and Salt and that’s without the fat in the yoghurt for breakfast. Crazy amounts, I used to eat Iceland frozen meals all the time and they were the same, now I don’t eat ready meals at all they are just too bad for you.
Now Mike has to do a Morrison’s the best Asda extra special and a Waitrose the one week on as a comparison
I agree
I live in Karachi Pakistan I like your comments send 4 month old

Really enjoy your "Week on..." videos Mike. Especially enjoy them when you include Basil & Gracie. :)

That Sainsbury's garlic bread makes a great pizza base
Congratulations on 12 years guys, more than half my life!!
Aldi Specially Selected Range would be good , see how it competes with the others
Let's ask "princess Di" if he tasted the difference? I'd say he is absolutely convinced of the shrimps, so the whole week must have been worth it!
Take a shot every time he says 'stroganoff' you'll be on the floor in minutes
What about a week on only reduced/clearance items :)
Think he did this with A week on M&S Yellow label
@@jamiecullen9075 Ahh yes I think I remember that one now you mention it!
When I got my cat a new cat door she refused to consider using it. All my attempts to cajole & persaude her were met with the statement that she didn't know how to use it & anyway she didn't need a cat door as she had me to stand there & open the door for her.

@@Farquad76.547 Quite likely.
I think your trips to the gym made the difference Mike. And where I come from we call it ‘threading’ the eye of a needle! :P

Do a week on Chrlie Binghams Mike, it will be decadent AF.
Thanks😊 normally make all my meals from scratch but am very tempted to try that stroganoff 😂

Are you ever going to a week on the life of Mike? Would like to see a vlog of your normal day to day life 👍
Basil prefers prawns over the Strog.
Harrods or Selfridge's food hall stuff for the next week on!
Do a week on Charlie Bingham ready meals! 👍👊🏽
Not enough of them
BASIL GOT THE PRAAAWWWWNS!!! 😄
Weight loss was probably due to increased protein intake and less simple carbs. The butter, cream, cheese meat all protein and Will fill you more.
Nothin like a meaty breaddy salty herby garlicy buttery stodgy crispy creamy yummy and tasty meal, eh mike
The Pogues song "Paris St Germain" is perhaps their finest ever song. And it's Spider Stacy singing, not Shane MacGowan.
Funny how meals cooked in the oven (beef stew and dumplings and lasagna) tasted great.

I don't know what the viewing figures would be like, but how about doing a week on what you'd typically have during a week? A Week On ...A Week Off! ?
maybe you could give Basil a pill and then give him shrimp. not at the same time, he might never eat shrimp again lol
Can you please re-do the week on Iceland! They have loads of different lines now from restaurants and lots of questionable frozen goodies! Also maybe a week on pizza? Keep up the good work Mike!!!!!

that beef and dumplins is very nice so is the beef hash of TTD yum
You went to the gym mate?hence the weight loss.

1. You exercised!
try putting Basil's meds in a treat he likes if you can. just an idea to help.
Please do a week on Costco food please 🙏🏼
I think the shrimp bet ur stroganoff sorry Mike 😸
Have ya noticed how your a beef man Mike. Remember the sliced beef from the Iceland vids. Now the beef stroganoff and the beef stew and dumplings. Beef is defo your happy place!
Can you hide the cat's meds in a shrimp??
Mike's next protagonist should say this at least once in the next book...
Making the traditional 'Please do a week on Normal' request (you could do this for each season and each year too)
basil must be paid for every week on with prawns from now on. the internet demands it.
Basil is the star of the show
Mike: has prawns
Basil: turns into Kirby
I was binging on the few Shameful Sequels I can find on RUclips while I cleaned this morning and was happy to see this waiting for me once I was done :-) Great Week on Mike, try not to be such a stranger next time around!
NO....Basil's head is still attached.

Where do I get one of these ghostbusters T-shirt’s from???
1986
Could you do 7 days on the Alkaline diet please.
Did Basil taste the difference?
Basil is too cute!
I'm glad that they came in a foil tray, I could imagine him microwaving it and naffing it up, you can't microwave dumplings they come out raw dough and soggy
Pasta doesn't do well in the mico either
Water has to be the reason you lost weight, surely. Do you measure your intake and output of fluid in a week on?
one thing i have noticed that with the fast food week on's one you haven't done yet and i think one thats the best out all the burger places is of course burger king what do you say mike
How about a week on special brew
is a dumpling similar to a American biscuit ?
dumplings are basically dough made from self raising flour and suet and placed in a stew or casserole to half steam half boil. Really tasty 😋
@@vjpearce ok I had those type before, but being so big I had to ask
@@cyrus649 I know. I never seen them that big either. It was the size of a rusk 😆
@@cyrus649 I think what you call biscuit we call scones 😘
@@beeohel6787 not fully, it weird to sxplain a type of food that another country might not have
Gosh the range is very cheese heavy isn’t it
Pity they don’t do a Taste the difference All Day Breakfast,
Wrap the pill in ham or stuff it in cheese if you haven't already 😉
Edit; maybe you need to eat fatty stuff to loose so much weight. I noticed when you did a week on keto you also lost a lot of weight.
Putting marmite on pills always worked with my cat. She loved any pill I gave her with it on!
A week on greggs!!
Jeavons, you old snake, you’ve done it again!
Mike where is your t-shirt from? I must have it
A week on fast 800
BUTTER LASS
Do lidl high band
Do a week on smoothies lol
Bcz u only had 2 meals a day bcz ur breakfast was non existent u had no snacks and in betweens

Do you two possess a dining table? If so, why do you eat standing in the kitchen? Strange behaviour, if you ask me!
Noone is asking you.
There's a dining table in every video but Mike gets the recording out of the way in the kitchen and then goes to sit and enjoy the meal with Grace.
The Lasagne looks burned sry
I only click to see Basil
So you had the best items in their menu on the first day and on the last day everything in between was meh
Can you do a week on sugar free
>Goes to the gym nearly every day and does ALL the machines
"h0W dID i L0sE WeIgHT!?!?"
Morrisons best next
It was the power of the medditeranian diet. It's so awesome it caused you to loose weight ever since!
(I am not being serious in the slightest here. Maybe you just exercised a lot this week)
Do a week in only certain colour food.
Im 1 day late
Do Lidl
Work out all the stats from this days food 😬
Just between your beef stew and lasagne you had close to or over 100% of Fat, Sat Fat and Salt and that’s without the fat in the yoghurt for breakfast.
Crazy amounts, I used to eat Iceland frozen meals all the time and they were the same, now I don’t eat ready meals at all they are just too bad for you.
Do the week again on with the same food and not go to the gym. Bet you won't you loose weight.
