I find it rather odd that if you eat too many carrots it can turn your skin orange when carrots were originally purple....

Ok maybe I haven't got it 100% right I admit but I'm no expert I'm still learning myself but the basics of it is she's not eating enough calories for the amount of exercise she's doing each week.

There's your problem! You're not eating enough calories for the amount of exercise you're doing so your bodies storing calories rather than burning them. Track & weigh everything you eat and drink, go on Google and find a site where you can learn about and work out your BMR (basic metabolic rate) then work out how many…

You've gained a pound since yesterday?! That doesn't mean anything! Your body isn't a machine it fluctuates every day. Your body can fluctuate plus and minus anything up to 5 lbs from day to day sometimes more for women. Some people believe weighing yourself every day isn't good however if you do so at the same time every…

I take no notice of BMI. Theirs more to life than reaching a generic number that has been created that says "you" have to be. If I'm fit, healthy and eating right that's all that matters. I have a target to reach of course but that's somewhere i feel I'd be happy with nothing to do with a BMI chart. As others have said it…

It's a withdrawal symptom from the sugar, every addiction has a withdrawal this is just one from sugar and commonly caffeine but people don't realise it. It should pass after a while once your body has adjusted.

I've been reading your posts and it's good you are finally getting help. It's horrible having to wait ages for an appointment. It in the mean time I think it would be good for you to just concentrate on eating more. Instead of cereal for breakfast have eggs and or bacon, much more nutritious than cereal and will help you…

Whenever I'm running low on protein I turn to ham. The ham I get has 11g protein per slice and 1g fat. If I have some fat left I accompany it with soft cheese and some carrot sticks. Great evening snack.

I myself am looking forward to free weights but having suffered a slipped disc and losing sever core strength my back isn't strong enough for free weights just yet. I do cardio and machine weights as a full body workout 3 times a week. Things I use are: Chest press Back extension Hip adductor Leg press Lat pulldown Leg…

I recently purchased the charge 2. I sent it back 3 days later! Brushing my hair gained 50 odd steps, changing clothes nearly 100. Preparing dinner 70 odd. It was great when I was actually walking places but for everyday general use it counted way too many steps I didn't do. I tried both hands and fiddling with the setting…

Just because someone is bigger doesn't mean they are less healthy. His knowledge and qualifications should mean more than his appearance. Their are sooooo many "buff" personal trainers out there that seem to think they know what they're doing when in reality they know F all despite having a good physique themselves.

If you're doing that much exercise especially weights you should up your protein, protein will help build muscle and muscle will help speed up your metabolism to burn fat more efficiently

Work on building more muscle, drop a cardio and add a weights session. Gaining more muscle will help burn more fat as it boosts your metabolism. Eat more protein as that helps grow muscle too. Have a look into macro counting as that will help give your body the right amount of each carbs, fat & protein to fuel your body…

It could be several things, muscle mass, water or maybe you've not been eating as healthily as you think. Weight loss is always about calories in a calories out, many people don't realise all the little bits add up so take a really close look at what you're eating. People also forget that muscle take up room too, but in…

Build your muscle, more muscle means your metabolism will work better and will burn the fat. I'm not saying become some muscle bound freak tho. Are you eating enough protein is the other question, protein helps build muscle as well as keep it in general.

I don't have a goal weight as such, just a healthy look and feel. But I am 280lbs an I do wish to lose a fair amount. I'm currently macro counting and it's been the only thing that's actually worked for me, counting what goes in my body from each source (carbs,fat,protein) is best for me. I also workout at the gym 2-3 days…

Have a read, might be of use http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/koch1.htm

Why would you want to skip out core workouts?! After all it's the most important part of your body to keep strong. Coming from a place where my core was so weak I could not bend over without helping myself back up. I feel keeping a strong core very important, it supports your spine and in turn the rest of your body. You…

What a brilliant post. Although I don't do free weights I am pretty much the only regular woman at my gym who does use the weights even if it is just the machines. I thoroughly enjoy it and at times I do get looks, being a woman we always assume to worst and think it's negative but I'm sure it's not always the case. For…

On average 1-2 lbs a week, some weeks I don't lose any and then the scales go down a few pounds. However I am going to the gym 3 times a week lifting weights so I could be losing more and just gaining muscle in replacement.

Having more protein in your diet will help fill you up for longer. Maybe look into macro counting, it'll give you an idea of how much cabs fat and protein your body needs each day. You'd be surprised how many people don't eat enough protur without realising.

The trouble with losing weight is you need to work your muscles else you will lose them along with the fat. So although you may not want to do much exercise that seems like you're trying to build muscle you're actually just Woking them muscles to keep them, yes you may build a little but you can always change that when…
