I'm pescetarian! However fish is expensive so I only eat it about twice a week so I'm pretty much vegetarian :)

Soft drinks are luxury items. No one needs to buy them!

Soft

Consuming sugar causes blood glucose levels to rise which is detected by beta cells in the pancreas which produce insulin. Insulin combines with insulin receptors on the surface of cells which causes: increased cellular respiration, the convertion of glucose to glycogen, the conversion of glucose to fat and the absorption…

Bump

A sugar tax will soon be implemented in the UK on soft drinks. And I'm all for it. Soft drinks have no nutritional benefits, I've always viewed soft drinks as a luxury but some people drink them like they're water which is not right. And it's our NHS that has to deal with these people when they get diabetes.

I don't put milk on my cereal either. I much prefer crunchy cereal over soggy cereal! :D

I weighed my cereal for the first time this morning and was suprised that a 30 g serving of cornflakes was more than I expected. As a student, cereal is a staple and I can't go without it. I was raised on "plain" cereals like cornflakes and rice crispies so I still view cereals like coco pops and frosties as a treat and…

I'm a skinny girl trying to gain too. You can add me if you want:)

I do yoga too:)

Same here, I was 300 calories under my target yesterday and I knew I should eat something but I just didn't feel up to it even though I was starting to feel hungry.

Methanol H3COH, methane CH3 and formaldehyde CH2O are all different compounds. The breakdown of aspartame produces aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Because aspartame is used so sparingly, a can of diet coke contains 180 mg, you'd have to drink a ridiculous amount of diet coke in a short time for it to have any…

Same, I had some sugar free squash and it had artificial sweetners in it (I can't remember if it was aspartame in particular) but every time I drank it, it gave me a headache. I find squash with sweetners have weird, almost powdery aftertastes to them which I don't like. But I don't think they're poison. The amount of…

In the UK cigarette boxes say stuff like "smoking kills" and "smokers die young" on them which tbh kind of makes it sound cool. If you buy your cigarettes legit though (unlike me - £10 a pack? Nah mate i can get them nearly half the price of that) then there is no branding just the name of the brand in a plain font and…

I feel like I'm too skinny. My arms and legs are like sticks and I have no butt. I've always been this way and I've always been self conscious about it. Especially in high school when random people who I didn't even know would come up to me and grab my wrists and say there so small! And I kind of feel like I'm not allowed…

Kind of unrelated but caffeine makes me really sleepy and spaced out for some reason, which I swear is the opposite to what it's meant to do.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I think I was just frustrated because I felt like I was completely better, but obviously I was still recovering internally. I just did half an hour of gentle yoga and I feel so much better: I'm on the road to building it back up again!

Everyone looks bad in tagged photos. I've had many awful ones posted on my wall from nights out, I just hide them from my time line.

I've eaten so much probiotic yogurt to help negate any side effects from the antibiotics. I'm going to try some gentle yoga today and see how it goes.

I just ask for tap water in McDonald's and they give it to you for free.

Onken natural set yogurt and a slice of toast with homemade raspberry jam!

I don't know how to post pictures in here but I found an article in a magazine (BBC Focus issue 287 November 2015) Top 10 common foods highest in iron 1. Liver 2. Dark chocolate 3. Pumpkin seeds 4. Oysters 5. Cashew nuts 6. Beef 7. Lentils 8. Spinach 9. Tofu 10. Quinoa

Same, I was really suprised at the protein content in peas as well. Another one which suprised me was courgette which had a (just trying to remember off thr top of my head) macro split of about 2/5 protein, 2/5 carb and 1/5 fat. My main sources of protein are yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, milk, nuts, chickpeas, lentils,…

I've cooked bolognaise, chilli con carne, curry and butter bean and vegetable stew in my slow pot and they all turned out lovely. Just bung all the ingredients in and leave it for a few hours

I'm 5"3, 105 lbs and trying to gain weight. I'm pescetarian but I only eat fish once or twice a week

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've had a tiring day today and I'll spend tomorrow recovering and then I'll try and ease into some gentle yoga or walking on Monday. Hopefully I'll be back to running soon though.

I'm a thin girl looking to gain weight too. You can add me if you like :)

Thank you!

What is the DASH diet? I have trouble with bloating and if it helps it would be amazing

You have a very similar build to me: I also have very thin arms a belly which sticks out. I'm going to start doing a lot more exercise to tone and build muscle as soon as I'm well enough
