#1 - People having an opinion about me when they don't know me. Just don't. Get to know me, then you can have an opinion (but it isn't an entitlement even then). #2 - People who gossip about piffle and make up nonsense to enthral a listener (I mean seriously, just please, get a life). I manage a large group of staff some…

Being in ketosis the body uses fat for its primary fuel source, not carbs. I did keto for 4.5 months whilst training for (and running) a marathon. I knew at the time that it would not be a sustainable diet for me long-term because of the amount of prep needed and the lack of wine (which I enjoy, and life is too short not…

I have achilles problems and trained for a marathon through it too. I found the Nike Zoom Winflo 3 Shield Ladies Running shoe is a good neutral one with lots of support and did my marathon in them even though they were over the mileage. I am currently using New Balance 1080 which I have not experienced any issues with at…

Bigger shoe, then individual toe compression socks (I have these and your feet feel really comfty). I also purchased individual toe sleeves from the chemist that sit over your toe to protect it (like a mini condom, rubber on the inside to stop it from moving and material on the outside).

Made my day - im 52. *skips the happy dance*

You are't giving me much to go on here.... ummmm 31?

I made a batch at the weekend as well... bleugh!! Same issue. Went straight in the bin which made me sad but no way could I eat them - and I had added nuts to mine as well. You're right, the texture is great tho.

Yup. Same as you - keto since new year and no alcohol. I'm quite happy with fizzy water (san pellegreno) with its added minerals. Just too afraid to drink alcohol now (I have a marathon on Sunday so may have a shandy after that).

Homemade burgers in thick lettuce 'bun' with all the trimmings - cream cheese, cheddar cheese, onion, mayo, tomatoes, cambazola cheese, and ummmm parsley to garnish (good for potassium). Did I say cheese yet? Oh and lots and lots of spicy Kale crisps. And cheese. Pudding - is full fat greek yoghurt with almond butter and a…

Whole kale leaf is available from Sainsburys in the UK :-)

That's great thank you for your help I will take a look. I am currently 3 weeks into my keto diet and all going well but am interested in carb cycling for long runs jut as a backup in case Nirvana passes me by!

I too, am having achilles problems. Firstly, try different trainers on your next run (even using a pair of old trainers) to measure the severity of the pain - it could be something that simple. Most trainers have a 500-700k life span. After each run, roll your foot over a frozen water bottle for a little while - this will…

<My head is fried....I need some light entertainment.....this will do right here.

So let me get this straight, you work it out in minutes and part minutes thereof???? Not hours or part hours thereof....

There may not be any logic to the argument. We are very visual creatures.

I seem to recall a similar thread about having an overweight PT instructor. I worked with a dietician who was morbidly obese. She really knew her stuff, was academically acclaimed and had written several articles. However, she didn't look like she looked after herself very well, her hair often needed a good wash, her…

Try this - put your back against the wall body length distance and get into pressup position with your hands on the floor and your feet about a foot high on the wall and do a pressup then move your feet up and your hands in, each time doing a pressup and work you way up the wall doing this. You will eventually get to a…

I would like to friend request all the hot guys on MFP because I am a huge flirt but am exercising restraint. I have one male MFP friend and he's lush and I tell him so - in fact I have told him I want to lick his beautiful muscles. I am very happily married so does that make me an cyber trollop?

Greek yoghurt, handful of almonds, skimmed milk, cottage cheese or you might be lucky and they sell protein bars in with the vitamins.

I have just started to incorporate a high protein breakfast as opposed to high carb/fibre breakfast. My new breakfast consists of eggs in various forms (scrambled, poached, boiled), salmon or mackeral and a piece of wholegrain toast. I may omit the toast and have 20g of high fibre cereal instead. Another option is baked…

I moved my weight goals about 3 times before I attained the weight that I felt best suited me. I then changed my goal to inch loss and body fat reduction - a goal I am still working on. I also constantly change my fitness goals so that I am always challenging myself to work harder, get fitter, be the best I have…

Just took a very quick look in your diary - ditch the cocoa puff treats - they are what's doing the damage not the fruit!

I too struggle with keeping my carbs low so here is what I have learned: Snack on raw veg rather than fruit - so crunchy carrots, raw brocilli and Cauliflower with humous. Reduce the low cal bars replace with protein bar - just eat half of it for same calories Keep some hard boiled eggs in the fridge for when really hungry…

try these: is that all you could manage that was rubbish must try harder All you can eat buffet *kitten* that effort does not warrant a response Cleaning - really? WTF? Oh I see you ate your exercise calories - and mine Yes, I only have 1 friend.... they ignore me! Anyway, did someone say all you can eat buffet?

Doesn't work for me either Yasmine. I'm guessing my age has something to do with it for me. I have a fairly hectic workout schedule and will consume some additional 100-200 cals on top of my 1400 but that's about my limit - if I don't I put on weight and get fatter. (my workouts generally burn from 600 - 1000 cals) It's a…
