I have a 1.5 year old granddaughter who is lactose intolerant. She is not able to having anything that contains lactose. If she does, she gets a rash and red dry looking skin on her face and other areas of her body. I am fine with dairy, but not with goats cheese. Eating goats cheese makes my lips start to tingle. I found…

Hello John, Thanks for the tips about the "friendly trolls". Hubby has come across the them on the infrared forum. He is on other photography forums that are fine. His thing is creative, infrared, close-up, landscape and general photography. I just do point and shoot. The picture of my ID is one that I photographed of my…

Hello John, Hubby and I love Scotland and usually have a hol in the summer and then again in the autumn for the colours and got an Xmas present from our daughter of a piece of land in Glencoe and some other. 1ft square and a 3ft square. We're not going to bother with our new "titles" :smile: With regard to "friendly" this…

Why should I? I am a member and have the right to post a comment, and especially as some people have "slagged" me off and wanted the evidence! If you don't like truthful comments, perhaps you are the one that should leave.

Well my dear friends, this evening I have been listening to Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, UCSF Mini Medical School, on the top of "Sugar : The Bitter Truth". You can listen to his lecture and also listen to "Sugar is Killing Us" by going to http://thetruthaboutsugar.com And yep, I…

My answer to the original poster's question with regard to which yogurt to eat: Eat the one that you enjoy regardless of the sugar content in it. The information on the carton will give you nutritional and calorie values. You would have to seriously consider the sugar content of foods if you were glucose intolerant or…

I have not left any insulting comments to any one - so who has "flagged" my comments. I am fairly new to MyfitnessPal, and to be honest, I had no idea what the flag was. I do now!

I didn't make the programme about the Tudors. I didn't make the advert that appeared last night on UK TV about sugar. I didn't make up the information I passed on that was given to me by my dietician, nor the facts about fat soluble vitamins. Didn't realise the forums were so "anti". I have loved sugar and I love all food…

I am NOT posting as an authority. Just stating the facts!

YES, sugar is BAD for us. And for those of you that do not know - ALL CARBOHYDRATES are converted into GLUCOSE by the body. Regarding the composition of fruit - I am not a chemist and I too have read the web link that with regard to herrspoons comments "There are three dietery monosaccharides - glucose, fructose and…

I agree, it should be banned. I have nothing against people who wish to smoke - but please not in my breathing space. I tried it once as a 16 year old and don't know what anybody finds attractive about smoking - plus the fact it costs money! Both my parents were chain smokers - I worked in an office where the majority of…

If you feel very tired after a meal, it is highly likely that your blood sugar levels have risen, which may indicate glucose intolerance or diabetes. Hope you get on OK at your annual.

You don't need to go to a gym to do a workout. There are lots of different exercised that can be done at home without gym equipment. Always do warm up before exercise and wear appropriate foot wear - even at the gym. I tore my fibrial posterial tendon in one leg whilst exercising on the treadmill at the gym and could not…

Sugar is BAD. The sugars that we are referring to as being bad are those that are refined and that come in processed foods - cakes, biscuits canned foods and ready made meals, cordials, fizzy drinks, etc. The full fat yogurt is fine. The low fat yogurts tend to be laden with added sugar. Your best bet is to go for natural…

I have noticed that total sugars are all types of sugar, lactose, fructose, glucose, etc. Having a small banana is fine. Having a handful of blueberries is fine. You do not say what type of porridge you are eating. The ready made ones contain added sugar, you would have to read the ingredients of the product that you were…

Consider it more as healthy eating rather than a diet. I did do WW and SW and other dieting programmes in the past. They all work, as long as you stick to their rules. At the present time I am under the guidance of a dietician. I was not calorie counting the first 2 months, but eating healthy foods and snacks throughout…

I love that too, but have modified the recipe, by adding in 0% Philadelphia cream cheese and using Muscavado, dark soft brown or Molasses sugar - depends what mood I'm in. I hate artificial sweetners - of course the calorie content would be less with the swetners! I'm thinking of making it and adding in some dessicated…

As I recall when I used to go to Slimming World was that they have Green days and Red days. Green days are the ones that you eat vegetables. Red days are when you eat meat and "free" vegetables. Some vegetables did have points. There are choices of free foods that you can eat as much as you like until you were satisfied,…

Sugar give us instant energy, but has no nutritional value. It can surge blood sugars very quickly and then drop very quickly. Best way to cut down on your sugar is by reducing it gradually. For example if you have 2 teaspoons of sugar in your beverage, drop it by a half teaspoon or 1 teaspoon until you are OK with no…

Better to eat smaller portions with healthy snacks in between the main meals with lots of water. This will help to keep your metabolism going. If you skip on meals, your metabolism can get much slower, which in turn will slow down losing the weight. I am not able to exercise, but need to lose lots of weight. My goal is to…
