hello thanks for replies with regards to your questiontaverstock toad all the foods i found on the database were american so i assumed it was based around american foods not ones found here in uk but ive since learned from rich that you can scan the food with your smart phone so i will be trying that next.

hello sgf0360 i wouldnt count fruit sugar any how i do count the calories which my partner thinks is crazy as its good for you and fruit lol

i suppose if we added the food to the database we could add that but ive got my head around calorie counting not sure i can start adding to that salt sodium sugar fibre where does it stop mineral counting??

hello hun welcome to mfp. doing a degree and dieting must be tough going well done you though. im quite addicted to mfp i think i spend too much time here getting ideas for my life style change its a great resource though and calorie counting for me has been the only diet i seem to have seen some success with. add me if…

congrats on wedding im sure with mfp you will be a knock out bride, my advice is take it slowly so you can maintain the weightlose at the other end, i get impatient too and just wanna step out of the fat suit but when you start acheiving the weightlose you feel so good and motivated to lose more. if you have a wii get ea…

fruit i love it bananas apples pears anything you like they low in fat but do count the calories it may be fruit but it still has calorific value. apple are good as they have fibre in them

hello id like to know this but i think it will be difficult to find due to pastry eggs cheese cream etc, however you could make small ramekins of quiche like buffet size numbers but you could make it lower cals by added have fat cheese skimmed milk instead of cream low fat spread instead of butter lots of different veggie.…

hello i would have thought with breast feeding you should be eating a higher calorie value as you give the babes some of the nutrients your taken aboard. super duper foods leafy greens fresh veg goji berries blueberries, nuts and seeds maybe? do you have a midwife you can ask?

mmm well i think we dont know half the cals and fat thats in take out, i think it could be between pizza or kfc deep frying anything is never good, but i think you'd be surprised at how fattening mexican food is tortilla even wholemeal ones are quite high in fat and cals for the small little thing you get plus mexican food…

hello ive hurt mine before and every now and then it starts to hurt again i just wear an ankle support for a few days and the pain seems to die off again good luck

hello i use a wii game to work out which give's me the cals i burnt at the end so what i did was added my own exercise and i just alter the time and cals burnt every day basically what ever numbers the screen says at the end i add those on here so maybe rather than use the mfp add your own and enter the data the bike says?

hello there i plateau quite soon after starting my diet i lost 8 pounds in one week that was my first week then took about another three weeks to lose any thing so i think it depends really on the person since my plateau ive lost well over 23lbs, and at present im losing between one and three lbs a week some weeks more…

hello frozen food is the way ahead cook what ever meals you want and freeze the rest for easy meals. keep fresh fruit in but only buy enough for a few days at a time. try to avoid processed foods that are easy maybe have them once or twice a week. i eat alot of legumes they are low in fat and full of protein, ive made a…

does anyone know where i can get squash in the uk the only one i seem to come across is butternut squash but i beleive thats too tough for squash spagetti

zigzagging so basically you eat different cals each day? i like the exercise cals entered on a different day ideas other wise i too would feel like i cheated also i suppose i could just exercise more lol ;-)

Pure Psyllium Husks are great nothing added so all good worth a try i used these and they help i no longer take this but i do take a 20 million probiotic everyday and never have an issue

thank you i was wondering if chamomille with oolong would be good but i will look for ginseng thank you

hello i would say fruit is going to be your best bet but if you dont eat much you could try healthspan a uk company. they do fibre in a powdered form you add it to water and it helps, also you could consider a probiotic or prebiotic help keep you gut happy try a tablet or capsule the yogurty drinks dont tend to survive…
