You have a point there @NovusDies its true that some people can get on well eating the same thing all the time...I live somewhere in the gray area...because I want to be more controlled...but I have to vary my meals otherwise it becomes just another daily routine...that is to say it becomes a robotic reaction...and though…

I wouldn't say misinformed as such...but the "popular" (and most cost effective?!) method of taking Slim Fast is via the shakes...I think restricting yourself to the small variety of those other food items (they do noodles and soups I think as well?!) is not necessarily helpful because eating ready prepared meal portions…
-
It's OK...but I would perhaps look around for cheaper alternatives (depending on how you are wanting to utilize the product in your lifestyle change)...I mean if it's meal replacements, then there are other powders available for example MyProtein do a "Meal Replacement" powder that comes in 500g, 1Kg or 2.5Kg packs...…

This...and that's my final word too... Seeing as this community is clearly as toxic as others I have experienced recently on the internets...given that most of you are all unwilling to accept an open opinion...I think I'll just stick to the food and exercise logging portion of this site...so I'll leave you to it...
-
Well we'll all agree to disagree...I guess?! I see your points and all are valid...I respect your rights to your opinions...but I will stand and fight my corner as well as defend yours if called upon to do so (because for the record I am NOT stripping anyone of available avenues of support!)...because I fail to understand…

Am I comparing Apples to Oranges?!? Am I throwing my testosterone in anyone's face?! I don't think so... Can posts and replies really be consensual?! Unless they are reported as inappropriate...it seems to me that posts and replies can be construed however you please?! So sorry if I offend anyone...that truthfully is not…
-
OK...I expected a bit of backlash...but I'm strong enough to take it...because I'm not a precious little woolen lump...but just so I understand your diatribe...cat-calling a person in the flesh is bad...but posting in threads like those screengrabbed below is acceptable yes?! I took that grab from this very forum displayed…

Has the world gone mad?! How have we come to a position where "Swiping Left/Right" for approval or whatever the hell goes on in the world of online dating is acceptable when that is clearly based on the objectification of the still (possibly exaggerated/fake) images of the man/woman you "fancy" and yet when a real person…

Like most are saying here...don't sweat it...it happened...move on...if it begins to happen regularly...then look at why...I have days where I feel like a remorseless eating machine at night...if I have tasty snacks in the house...they end up in my belly...whether I require them or not...it's a real failing of mine and one…
-
Crap! Yes...just double checked the link I posted earlier...that says 10-12 minutes...so it's a case of weighing it after cooking and doing the maths...
-
But if you cook it as instructed...that will be accurate yes?!
-
Using the same calculation method as in my above post...I calculate 200g (cooked) at 354kcal (353.98 to be exact) so you're not far off goatelope!
-
Ah! You see you learn something new every day! Thank you BabaraHelen2013! But I also see...by looking closer at the instructions on the webpage for the pasta (https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254878545)...the suggested 75g of uncooked pasta...which gives you the 6.66 portions per this pack...and the devil's…
-
I often think the suggested serving size of pasta and rice is not accurate...for example (and I've just double checked this), in a 500g pack of fusilli pasta the "suggested" serving size on the nutrition info is 170g (300 calories)...which means you don't even have 3 portions in that pack...that always annoys me...I'd…

Could be that your body has become used to whatever exercise programme you have been doing on top of the calorie monitoring and so you need to change that up to kickstart the downward trend again...our bodies are incredible things and they adapt very quickly...but once the routine becomes the standard cycle...they relax…
-
Well this light-hearted discussion went south very quickly! Lemme diffuse the situation...I'll get the chocolate fountain out...I'm sure I have plenty of home grown Radishes for everybody to dip into it and we'll all be satiated! ;) #ChocolateRadishParty
-
You could dip the radish in chocolate?! Now I've said that...it sounds so good I might try it! I like radishes and I like chocolate...hmmm...

Ah! The lengths Bluto will go to just to bad mouth the sailor man! :D

I go 4 or 5 times a week and do 45 minute sessions, I fit them in before work in a morning during the week...so I only have that limited window of time as the gym opens at 07:15 and I start work at 09:00... On the weekends I go either Saturday or Sunday (depending on what plans we have) and I might do an hour...adding on a…
-
Yes...if you don't see it in the database...add it by entering it in...I find a lot of foods are entered incorrectly when searching...so I often enter things from scratch...just so that I know it is accurate...there seems to be a lot of food that gets entered with just the calories (no macro break downs)...so it is…
-
People do obsess about anything and everything...it depends on the level of obsession...and some of my friends and myself included over the years have taken things to unhealthy levels...so my concern is real...I have my own issues that are my cross to bear...years ago I became obsessed with building muscle before thinking…
-
I'm not saying you don't expend energy...I wrote about walking generally every day...the point is if you're walking to the shop to buy snacks for later...it's not necessarily beneficial...I mean I could walk from my house to the local Fish and Chip shop every day...well not at the moment because it's recently had a fryer…
-
Just saying that my life...I'm sure like a lot of other peoples doesn't allow me the time to walk 5 miles a day! No shame for people that do a lot of steps! If you can do it great! I just can't fit it into my day! I go to the gym 5 days a week first thing in the morning before work for a 50 minute work out and after work I…
-
If you do nothing all day and have the time to walk 5 miles daily...that's great...but most people will struggle with that...and the 10,000 steps has been proven to be an arbitrary figure plucked out of thin air for the purposes of marketing step counters in the first place...so I like others have gone through the motions…
-
I think as long as you have the issue in check (using the medication right) and are excercising regularly...it will work itself out...I mean I have started to take my medication first thing before I eat or drink anything (other than water to wash the levythyroxine down) as prior to my last testing I was just taking all my…
-
Thank you both! I will look into both linked topics and perhaps go from there... AnnPT77, it's good to see someone say that my current routine seems fine...I think I get to a point where I feel like I should be doing more...but then I up everything too much and it begins to seem counterproductive...so perhaps I'm on the…
-
Nonsense science for gullible fools...Eggs are GOOD, TASTY, PROTEIN RICH and NUTRITIOUS...you are fine on the suggested 3 or even 6 day...but like Spadesheart says...40 a day is too many! lol!
-
Wow! You know that is a really good way of looking at this! Don't Diet...Embrace Nutrition... Hadn't thought of it like that! I've dabbled here for a few years and though I am losing weight...slowly...I have gone up and down a bit recently and keep thinking...maybe I should cut this out and that out and really diet...but…
-
No worries, thank you for inspiring me to contribute to the forum after all this time! Yes looking at goals from a weekly perspective will help you understand what you are aiming for and how to deal with those "over" days...I mean if you're "under" your daily goal on a couple of days in the week and then one day you've…
