Indian Restaurant...
Hi everyone! Today is the first day of my new thin life and as it turns out, it's a bad day to have decided on it, because I have been invited to an Indian Restaurant with my family, as it's the first birthday that we've had without my grandmother. My favourite thing from Indian restaurants is Lamb Masala - I don't know…

How can I eat when I'm allergic to most foods
I'm so annoyed. I'm allergic to most fresh fruit and veg (unless it grows on a vine), and tree nuts. I also have a gluten intolerance. These make it feel impossible to get enough calories in my day. I'm currently 5'6, 145 lbs and want to get down to 128 - which I think means I should be eating around 1500 calories a day,…

Viking Diet, what do we think?
Hi Guys, So I just heard about this Nordic diet which is apparently as healthy as the Mediteranean diet. Now, i'm not looking to stick to only eating specific foods but I am interested in foraging ideas from other cultures and ways of eating. It promotes essentially viking foods such as : Wholegrain cereals, oats, Fish,…

Is PB2 and the chocolate PB2 safe to eat while expecting? I love it and I love that it's a much lower fat version of PB, but I just want to make sure its safe to consume while expecting.

Struggling to eat enough, or bulking/gaining weight?
I've seen in the forums quite a few times about people who are struggling to meet their calorie allowance, usually because exercise brings up the total, or they're trying to gain weight / bulk. I'm trying to bulk myself, minimum goal of 3000 calories a day. So I decided to make a blog post for those of you who are gaining…

Does anyone have any good cookbooks that they would recommend that have a…

Sprint tri, shrinking & gaining muscle: advice pls?
I'm currently doing the 5:2 diet to try to lose some of the 30lbs or so that would get me back to a smaller size.

High-volume restaurants rant
I expect food I pay for to not be total ****, even if it's only 10 bucks a plate. I know lots of places don't necessarily pride themselves on their culinary technique, but is it honestly too much to ask to have salad that's not actively decomposing on my plate, from having sat DRESSED in a tub all day? (Or stale bread, or…

Upping from 1200
Hello, I was eating less than 1200 calories for a looong time. I'm talking around 800-900 per day. I realized this had to stop a few months ago, and slowly upped to 1000, 1100, and now I'm at 1200. I didn't eat so little because I was trying to starve myself, I just wasn't hungry! I have no idea why. But, after reading…
