Wasn't it in today's BBC news? I follow it closely and what annoys me about those random guidelines is that they are taken out of context. They talk about a can of coke containing whatever amount of sugar giving impression that if you stop drinking coke you'll be fine. I wish there was more done in terms of general…

Hi there @fraserkr, I can't really give you any specific numbers. I focus on calories and since my daily allowance is in region of 1400 I go by ''the less calories the better'' rule. My problem partially was in portion control so in order to get the volume I eat lots of veggies, I can go days with no meat to save on…

I'll buy something that I've never dared to wear...shorts, skinny jeans and cute little panties.

I weigh daily for sake of curiosity. Through the process I've learned how different ratios of carbs/fats/proteins influence my weight. Actually it's no longer frustrating seeing those extra pounds. It's either the case of ''carb binge'' the day before or the coming period. I can easily drop that water weight by adjusting…

Pretty thanks :smile:

Can you guys elaborate on this please? This thread looks promising :wink:

To cook chicken breasts I use perched/greasproof paper. Just season it to your taste and wrap it up with the paper. Put on a pan (non sticky preferably) and ''fry'' it for about 8minutes turning from time to time.

I'm eight months into running and I've managed to get up to 15k with no plan or whatsoever. Just kept adding extra time or mile here and there. I'm also rather slow runner, but I doesn't bother me. I aim at long runs on Sundays, during the week I adjust it accordingly to how I feel. However, if you need some structure I…

Hey ho:) by no means there is nothing to burst! Right at the beginning I've pointed out that I follow the CICO concept and I'm more than happy with the results. I can sign with both hands to that idea, but at the same time, since I'm rather curious person and even though I know that Earth is round I will go and try to find…

Well, for twenty years I used to live with my sister who happens to be stick skinny even though she eats a lot and she leads rather sedentary life (unless a weekly trip to a shopping mall counts as a high intensity cardio:) - so no assumptions on this one :))) On another hand ... there is me... cycling, running, swimming,…

Do your research, learn about carbs/proteins/fats, digestion,insulin etc...in a long run it really helps knowing how our body functions. Having learned all this you will realise that if you have some serious weight to lose - any adjustments to your current lifestyle/dietary habits will bring significant results, be it low…

When I look at pictures I see myself as a chubby baby, chubby toddler, chubby preschool, chubby 7years old, overweight teenager, overweight adult. My mum used to tell me that when I was a baby I just liked eating, also she held a view that as long as the health permits we should eat whatever we fancy (she struggled with…

My best friend was on keto/buletproof diet for 6 months and guess what, she didn't lose anything. She followed it to the dot yet it proved to be useless for someone with some vanity pounds to get rid of. Since then she moved to MFP and calorie counting, it helped her to shift 10pounds within 3months. I believe that for…

tried one meal a day thing for some time but not sustainable in a long term however.... http://hubbyshome.com/486/how-to-lose-weight-fast-eating-one-meal-a-day/ or http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-29801583

Actually I remember myself crying over the number of calories that MFP flashed in front of my face when I first entered the data...but hey ho, two months later 3kg lighter!!! There is actually a lot one can have within 1200kcal allowance - veggies topping the list:) One of the reasons the weight creeps on us is the popular…

For this very reason I stopped logging on MFP, it takes way too long to find the correct item and the measurement units are ridiculous!!! How do you quantify ''cup'' or ''serving''? I found an external website that provides nutritional values measured either by grams or mililiters (not cups, teaspoons etc) and use it…

MOVES automatically recognises walking,running, cycling etc...no need to start, it counts steps, calories and distance along with pace and map, since it runs in a background you can listen to your music or anything that you fancy- and it's free.

Well, I know one, she's my sister. Being skinny all her life she decided to do a few courses here and to become a PT. She's never struggled with any body/nutritional issues. As a result she can easily sell her fit image at the local gym where she works but as the poster above said, there is neither knowledge nor passion to…

[/quote] Low carb, low fat, low protein - what exactly do you eat? Also your body doesn't magically get into "fat burning mode" based on your food choices. Lastly, meal timing does not influence weight loss. [/quote] Crazy !!! I know !!! Veggie stews, soups, piece of lean chicken here and there, by low fat I mean not…

Drop the fruits, and try to go easy on carbs. Carbs bind a lot of water and this may impede the scale readings. I'm not trying to demonise carbs but if you don't have much to lose then we have to mobilise all the available tricks to get our body to use up the last bits of fat for energy. For me counting calories was the…

Slightly different take on late night eating: during the night our body turns into a huge spa, all our cell are mobilised to do ''engeenering works'' on any small and big wear and tear. During the day the cells are busy keeping up with our daily activities, walking, taking, digesting etc,during the sleep when all those…

MOVES - very simplistic and fairly accurate, no need to activate it when starting workout, automatically differentiate between running walking cycling and transport, tried this along map my run to match the accuracy but I found it annoying that I had to start the workout and pick the activity, MOVES simply pops all data…

@UWorlds1 - why do you think breakfast is important? From my experience, eating breakfast makes sense when you are young and your body is still growing or you are a quarry worker or are a healthy weight athlete prone to losing weight very quickly. There is that ongoing mantra about the energy we need first thing in the…

up For this very reason I gave up eating breakfast some time ago. I used to have jam sandwiches or porridge or rye bread with cottage cheese, or muesli with milk. Counting calories is a real eye opener, having added all those bread slices and cottage cheese I was shocked to discover that it was just about 600kcal. I…
