First thing that came to mind was gin and slimline tonic. If you don't like tonic then diet soda and a spirit vodka/white rum.

I use frozen berries, cheap and last ages. Frozen berries, coconut water and fat free Greek yoghurt (the no added sugar kind) make a really good smoothie, with a decent protein content so keeps me full till lunch if I have it for breakfast.

Personally I don't bother weighing if it's a single serving pack, or veggies. Hasn't made a difference to me loosing so far.

It's all down to what suits you, at the end of the day CICO is what leads to weight loss. For me decreasing carbs and increasing protein, makes me feel fuller on 1200cals. I don't get mood swings, but carbs don't leave me feeling full for as long as protein, others find the reverse to work for them.

It says under the table that 75g of dry pasta typically makes 180g cooked, so weigh 75g dry pasta and log the calories for 1 cooked serving

There's not really a "best" trainer for running/ cardio, much more which is right for you. The best thing I did in terms of running was going and getting a gait analysis and fitted with trainers with the right support for me. I'm uk based too and there are running shops that do this for free and you don't have to buy from…

Ive just done a weekend away, 3night break. Didn't count calories, had a sensible breakfast but what I wanted for lunch and dinner, and some alcohol. Did a lot of walking though, around 10miles per day. Came home just under half a pound heavier. So depends on how crazy you go, I had a couple of drinks and dessert each…

I'm also a short female so mfp gives me 1200 Cals/ day. I prefer high protein, lower carb (not no carbs do have some) as i can feel more full on a lower total calorie intake, I find protein keeps me full longer than carbs. If I exercise I eat a proportion of my exercise cals back and would have carbs post exercise. I also…

Can buy dumbells or kettlebells pretty cheap, and both are versatile, use them for upper body, kettlebell swings and holding them for squats are great compound movements working major muscle groups and both don't take up much space if storage is a problem.

How difficult they depends a bit on your level of fitness, it's a HIIT class, so working out at maximal intensity, with body weight cardio excercises, but is only 20mins with a brief rest between sets/exercises. I like the style of training, there's a bit half way through where I don't think I can do it, but love the…

I count them as today's, feels more natural to start each day as I get out of bed. Does mean I tend to go over on the day I start nights, as being awake for most of the day and night means there's an extra meal/decent sized snack in there.

Are cheat meals necessary, technically no. But I do have one cheat/treat meal per week. It's usually a meal out, but occasionally one I'll cook. If I go out to eat for that 1 meal I don't think about calories or macros, but what i want to eat. Having done this for a couple of months now, tend to lean towards healthier…

I use frozen berries, I buy a bag of mixed frozen berries, cheap and last a while. I don't like too many calories in my smoothies either. I use 1cup berries Coconut water (enough to thin it out to blend well) And 0% fat Greek yoghurt about 150g (could use less depending of macros/cals) Comes in at around 170cals depending…
