Violife have a good range. Tyne Chease is lovely but pricey.

I have a history of IBS, which basically disappeared when I went vegetarian. Occasional bouts when I forget that cheese makes me ill.

Lots of potato based crisps have gluten in the flavourings.

You can get USB rechargeable hand warmers. You can also get gloves with built in heating packs, but the rechargeable ones are pricy, cheaper ones that take batteries are available.

I do a swim training session, which is harder training than I'd push myself to do. I also do a body combat class. Both instructors know about a shoulder problem and that I therefore can't do certain things.

There are different types of tofu. These articles might help https://www.thekitchn.com/guide-to-tofu-258180 https://food-hacks.wonderhowto.com/how-to/prep-tofu-properly-beginners-guide-for-tofu-haters-0156444/

I had a three month deal from WW that ends in two weeks. I decided to cancel it and it was very difficult to do so - they won't do it via email, it has to be a call which involves sitting on hold for ages. WW is very much aimed at omnivores. Various lean meats and low fat dairy are on their "free" list, but a lot of the…

I've had it in the past. On I've occasion I had to have a steroid injection to clear it, but other flare ups haven't needed it. For me - Achilles stretches are key as it has come from a slightly tight Achilles (a physiotherapist told me this). For runners - make sure to have gait analysis to ensure you're using the right…

Social eating is nice, but that doesn't mean she gets to dictate *what* you eat. Either order something healthier from a different takeaway or cook for yourself and time it to be ready when hers arrives.

It's possible they've redone the lab tests at some point and that's the reason for the change

On tofu: research the different types and how to prepare them. If it's the block stuff, you need to drain and press it :) Some tips on the following webpage https://www.delish.com/cooking/a1192/how-to-cook-tofu/ https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/02/vegan-experience-crispy-tofu-worth-eating-recipe.html…

Midway through my second mirena. No periods for 7 years, slight spotting about 5 times. No cramps, no side effects.

On premium you can set different targets for different days

I have osteo in one shoulder - getting it cold is bad, warm is good.

Sorry, Les Mills, not Less Mills. I suppose I should just be grateful the phone didn't correct it to "Les Mis"

try searching "Less Mills"

it's not "being given for free", it's being entitled to as a citizen of a supposedly civilised country. Is funded by taxes, which everyone pays. The attitude that people receiving benefits should be subjected to arbitrary controls is appalling.

So far as I know, only adults receive food stamps. So treat them that way.

Some of the arguments in this debate are appalling! The people arguing that food stamps should be restricted to certain foods are basically saying that the people receiving them don't deserve treats. That attitude is straight out of the 18th and 19th century.

Lentils work well in bolognaise type sauce

The only way green tea helps you lose weight is if you drink it instead of sugary lattes.

Mashed up with a bit of tahini and sea salt

I found this webpage useful http://www.seriouseats.com/2014/06/shopping-cooking-guide-different-tofu-types.html

You can freeze tofu, and I find it easier to press once it's defrosted. You can coat it in flour and lightly fry it. Yes you can eat it next day, it keeps fine once cold and refrigerated. You can eat it raw as far as I know but I can't imagine it's very nice... But silken tofu can be blended into desserts and eaten raw...

Food waste is a massive problem. Advocating storing perishable food outside the fridge just encourages more waste. Before everyone had fridges and heating, kitchens were cold and had even colder larders. A lot of the food that is now kept in the fridge went in that larder. Room temperature now is far warmer than before…

They keep a lot longer in the fridge.

I'm British and have always refrigerated my eggs. I would imagine leaving them out is a hangover from before everyone had fridges.

Being slimmer in no way makes swimming harder. Practice will mean you improve.

Mashed chickpeas, cooked up with nuts, liquid smoke, bit of mustard. Maybe serve with avocado and tomatoes
