  • Paradoxically, I think the value in this study comes from how unusual TBL contestants are. You would NEVER get ethical approval to carry out this study by recruiting volunteers to be bullied, humiliated, starved and injured in the pursuit of dramatic and unhealthy weight loss. But somehow it's OK for a TV show... If it…

  • "Magic" is a weird word to describe how the sugar in fresh fruit is packaged up with dietary fibre and water in convenient calorie controlled units. OP, I have also found that sugary foods are what I have least control over when I eat them in excess and I have previously lost weight by changing absolutely nothing except…

  • That's sort of what I originally planned and makes sense in the middle of a stretch of nights but is a bit messier at the start and end- e.g. today I wake up, have breakfast, go for a swim, have lunch, have a nap, have dinner/second breakfast and go to work for the night (and keep eating or I'll fall over!). The "awake…

  • My usual roster is 4 day shifts then 7 night shifts over a 12 day period, with 1 day "off" in between to transition (I say "off" because I do actually work on that day, just not til 10pm). Looking at the weekly average will be useful at the times when my roster is a bit more forgiving though, thanks.

  • So calories after midnight tonight go on tomorrow's diary? That makes sense. It will be harder to portion them out than usual I think.
