Yeah I'm getting that vibe now, I'll measure it again. Thanks

No, I guessed by the amount I could see. You're right, it probably looks like more because it is spread out. I'll try be more aware of measuring by weight as another poster made comment - in a spoon, it will contain a lot of 'spaces'. Yes, I am a citrus fruit fiend and my citrus trees are hanging on the ground with…

Thanks for these notes. I have no sodium concerns at present, but was only suddenly alarmed by the high count.

I estimates half a teaspoon from a grinder and got a count of 1200 - is that mols, percent, mgs? How is this measured and what does it mean?

This is called hashing, there are clubs all over the world, in just about every major city. Look up your local 'kennel' and thank me later. There won't be any killer clowns, there will be booze and good folk.

I was hungry at first but after a week or two I realised I was actually craving junk food, not really hungry and with portions now under control, I am used to eating this way. I don't really snack and I don't have food in the house that is not great for me, so if I have to go to the fridge, well there are only healthier…

I found this website today and it suits me very much. I realise you have an insulin concern and by your diet above, it looks like you are going for high protein only, perhaps this site will help you plan your day or give you a good starting point and you can substitute what you want: http://www.emark.co.nz/meal-planner…

Every day, every time I meet somebody new I have to give them the "Hey, my eyes are up here" routine... ... to divert their attention from my ridiculously poor taste in fashion. The best thing about being over 40 - realising how fickle and temporary good looks are. I used to get taken in by that, but I don't care about…

I've just reached out to Nestle, will let you know when they get back to me.

Wait a minute, that can't be the only reason you think this idea is lightweight? I'm sure there are people out there who are too busy, like me, to care about the taste of food at all and are only interested in 'filling up the tank'. I hear you say it will get boring, trust me, I also eat bread everyday and it never gets…

Looks like everybody has taken great care to go off topic.... There is some actual valid detail in the OPs question. I started on Uncle Toby's just this week and after looking at the detail on the box, I asked the same question in my head - can it be true that this food is awesome enough to eat as part of three meals,…

You look like you lost 10 years of age, too; your after pic makes you look like a teen. Well done!

The best way to meet good and well suited friends to your particular goals, is to fill in your profile page and let prospects know a little about you; what your goals and motivations are, particular food preferences or allergies, favourite types of workouts anything that would motivate a common bond etc. Good luck with…

I'll tell it how it is: If you need this kind of service or management you will almost certainly fail. That Sergeant Major that you wish to micro-manage your diary and hold you accountable has to be you and you alone.

Don't take this the wrong way, please, my intentions here are honest - have you ever seen or considered seeing a therapist?

Click on My Home for the front page of this website and look for a link 'Goals'. Then click 'Change Goals' and click 'Guided' to step through a wizard like page with fields, entering as much information as you can accurately. I say accurately because you must be precise as you must also be precise when entering the detail…

I had bad leg cramps at night and after long runs. Quite often so painful I'd have to get up and walk around at 3am. I now have one of these tablets in a tall glass of water before longer workouts or if I feel a cramp starting up. https://nuun.com/products/nuun-active Gatorade and PowerAde etc. seem to be like lolly water…

Hamilton, New Zealand (a few clicks left of Hobbiton).

@segacs I've never really been really big, but I have been pear shaped (almost slob-ish in appearance) for some time. That has all changed in the last 6mo - I lost 11kgs and can comfortably run a 10k and even move heavy stuff around the gym. I second some of your points - my butt hurts now if I sit on a bench or solid…

@MzManiak You're spot on. I only looked at this again this week and realised that I have now gotten to the point where I am using the stairs all the time, sometimes 8-10 times a day (I work on the 4th floor) and while I technically have a desk job, I also have a moderate maintenance role, fixing things, carrying things to…

I have a friend who started a diet, started to do well, had visible signs of success and her mum buys her cupcakes now. She never used to. I told her that is how some women show that they are jealous - poisoned apples. It's probably not a good time to have a chat with your mum if you are feeling low, but it would pay to…

If you need some motivation and you are an academic, consider that walking while listening to audio books or your pre-recorded lectures would give you benefit physically and mentally (there is no end of works, fiction and non-fiction in this format). The stimulation your body receives will make you mentally sharper while…

Great read and inspiration. Your insights into your own eating and behaviour will be your light on the path to success. Good luck and well done. Also, thank you very much for being open, honest and sharing.

Call it a cheat day or a reset, but tomorrow is another day and you won't lose everything because of one bad day. Thank you for being honest and open. Seeing a 'problem' yourself is the right path to sorting it out yourself. Log it all anyway and average it out over the next week, that will make you feel better and give…

Yep. I had heaps of chocolate today and it was yummo. I also had a mean milkshake this afternoon and it was just as yummo. Still, I'm within my budget because I ran to my local gym at lunch and worked out, before running back to work. So I guess the answer to your question is: yes, I have a way to deal with my love of…

Hi Amy. It's not easy getting to gym for me, I have to have a check list and calendar schedule to make (guilt) myself to go. Are you interested in other activities that would further your goals but maybe you have an interest in, like cycling or hiking or tennis etc?

Wow. Just wow.

When that wobbly feeling following you running is no longer your butt, but your loose pants. And I can almost see my knees through the top of my jeans. I hate clothes shopping, can you tell?

Get your iron levels checked.

As above, hadn't run for years. Joined a local social club that runs and has a few beers once a week (Hash House Harriers - look them up in your town/city/area). Then I started walking around the local lake a few times a week, then plodding, jogging, running. Etc. 18mo later, I go to gym 4-5times a week, I run there and…
