This week I've made what's a high protein lunch for me: chicken mince browned with garlic and spices, added to oven roasted pumpkin, sweet potato and kale. Topped with ricotta because I get hangry without enough fats. It's pretty easy to modify this - pick some veggies you like, stick them in the oven and add your protein…

Genetics can play a big role in cholesterol and heart health. That said, you can definitely do a lot in terms of lifestyle changes to help with this. Increasing your fibre intake can help lower cholesterol. Fibre is found in fruits and vegetables, but can also be taken as a supplement. Looking at the foods you eat and how…

When you have sufficient levels, you can maintain fairly well with diet and sunshine. But if you're deficient, it's very difficult to improve levels without supplementation. As others have recommended, see your doctor first and make sure this is something you actually need, then take their advice as to what next.

That's amazing, keep up the good work!

I've also added you :)

Thanks, I'll do that!

Baked cabbage. Shred the cabbage, spread on a baking tray with some diced bell pepper, add lime and vinegar (spices optional) to taste. Bake at around 220C for 10min, toss and bake for another 10min or until edges are just looking charred. Works great as an easy side dish.

That depends on what you're counting towards your calories i guess, or whether you're more concerned about being active. I count my walks/runs on a treadmill as steps but then don't add them as additional exercise to my MFP diary (the steps sync automatically from my fitness tracker). For me it's not so much about getting…

"I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." - one of my favourite lines from To Kill a Mockingbird Happy to add fellow bookworms, I'm a big fan of anything in the fantasy genre. Currently reading Turtles All the Way Down by John Green which is being less fascinating than expected.

Don't do a water fast but do go see a GP. They might be able to help or will definitely be able to refer you to someone who can, like a gastroenterologist or dietitian or other specialist.

Fairly sure there is no medical condition called polimea to begin with. What was your concern?

Excellent work!!

Thanks everyone, that was really helpful!

I use tvp pretty often in curry. Soak tvp in hot water with a bit of salt added for 3minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Add spices (i add chilli powder, turmeric, cinnamon and whatever else is handy), marinate for a couple minutes while sauteeing some garlic and onion. Add tvp to the pan, cook for 5min. Tvp picks up…

Took me 12kg (23lbs) to go from a 14 to a 12... but the 14s were tight when i started and i now fit into the 12s with ease (albeit still with a muffin top). Haven't dropped a dress size yet, but i have noticed that they fit much better!

Made a commitment to myself to lose weight and be healthy. Then joined Noom and rejoined MFP.

It should.

Weigh something on it that has a known weight and see if it matches up, like a 250g bag of rice.

OP, i understand your frustration. Recently had a protein cookie and happily ate the whole thing thinking it was 170cals.... only to later see on the label that 1 cookie was 2 servings (found out later that most protein cookies are like this). While i agree that reading the label is important, it would be nice if they were…

I really enjoy Bounce protein balls. They're an Aussie brand which is serendipitous because i live in Australia right now. Added bonus, they have flavours besides chocolate and peanut butter. I also like Lenny and Larry cookies, Peg squares for a nutty fix and Quest if i really want a chocolate fix. Was going to try Julian…

If you like it, then is it really so important what other people think?

* FORGIVE YOURSELF. * No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch * I can do it, because I am already doing it * Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels

Yes. I use Pb2 (a peanut butter powder) in sweet potato brownies, in smoothies and make peanut butter to go on pancakes, bananas, toast, whatever... try it out a few different ways and see what you like?
