Thank you. I did eat a little more Greek yoghurt than usual this week

Thanks for your comments, will take that on board

Thank you for this. Really helpful

Thanks, yes there's no special science to it when I say 'clean eating' I'm just referring to as you rightly say, simply eating whole foods. I've always had this kind of diet anyway just being stricter about eating as natural as possible and avoiding additives etc. I wondered if there might be a 'detox' type of effect from…

Of course, no problem, I'm 5ft 4", currently 11st 5lbs looking to lose another 7lbs by 2 July. I'm also 36 years old and an experienced 'mature' 'curvy' model ;) so I'm not influenced by the standard sort of modelling industry stuff. My food diary is open to anyone so feel free to have a look. I've been a vegetarian since…

Sure :smile:

I agree to try and avoid trans fats found in spreads and margarines. I now eat only full fat products but in small amounts.
