  • FutureLife Smart-Fibre Bran cereal clocks in at about 160 calories for 40g of cereal plus 100ml milk. And it keeps you full for hours.
  • This sounds awesome and easy as well. Any idea on the calorie count I'd be looking at?
  • I've eliminated all dairy (except for a smidgen smeared on toast occasionally and a drop or two in my tea/coffee), I'm also drinking three glasses of water a day minimum. As far as what I'm using on my skin, I use an exfoliating face wash once a week (Bionike Acteen) and a Garnier Refreshing Toner and Garnier 24h…
  • Almond milk and silk cashew milk actually sound really nice - next time I'm shopping I'll keep an eye out for those :) A concern of mine though: what important vitamins and nutrients will I be missing out on by cutting out dairy and how can I compensate fully for them?
  • Thank you for showing me that article and bringing this to my attention. Starting now I will cut out all dairy products for the next month. I'm keen to try this. Also, I've been exactly where you've been. High school was horrible for me because of my skin. I don't think anyone can understand how that feels if they haven't…

  • I think I have normal acne, although occasionally I get the deeper more painful ones, but only one at a time and nothing nearly as bad as I've seen on the internet. I'm desperately trying to cut out all sugars and unhealthy junk. The only time I hav dairy is milk in my coffee and cornflakes and a slice or two of cheese if…
  • Today I'm going to focus on the following: 1) Not eating a single item of junk food; 2) drinking 5 cups of coffee or less (usually it's ten); and 3) drinking a glass of water (gotta start somewhere).
  • What helps me is to remind myself that there are people who went from 300-pound-depressed-nothing to inspiring-bikini-model-everything. Hearing about other people's success stories makes you believe you can do it too, and that's all you really need - is to believe.
  • Thank you all of you for your amazing advice! I've decided to practice moderation with the aim of eventually cutting out certain glorious goodies (chocolate is not on that list). I used to gorge myself on crisps until I recently found out how many calories and carbohydrates are actually in even a quarter packet of…
  • Thank you so much you guys! I've been way too strict with myself and have come so close to binging... I will try to learn moderation this time
  • I think that has been my mistake then... I've been trying to eliminate chocolate and all associated favourites completely. Thank you for your advice - I will definitely take it :)
