I think it could help you on the days you are tired and find it hard to cook to have a home cooked ready meal - so on the days you do cook why not cook yourself an extra portion and freeze it I have several home cooked frozen meals and I was so glad when I went into hospital that I did as the food was awful for vegetarians…

I just have berries for my fruit as they tend to be lower cal than some other friuts sometimes I have an apple rhubarb is really good and very low in cals I cook it with some sweetener and vanilla and then freeze in small cubes and its just like eating some sweets - very similar to your frozen grapes

I bought some nutrition scales from lloyds pharmacy about 6 years ago they seem to be really good and do give some food values they are still going strong and have only had their battery changed twice in all that time (saying that I will no doubt have to change them next week :) ) I dont even know if they still sell them

my children are 29 and 31 so the talk in this house happened many many years ago but we had a policy in our house of open doors so they learnt as they went along, to a certain extent. I and my dh answered all questions as and when they arose my children were very very open with me and knew they could tell me anything and…

whatever my craving is I allow for it in my food planning you can eat what you want and if you eat in just small amounts then you will still be in your calories ideally I suppose we should use this time to train ourselves to ignore the cravings as that is what they are you are craving a food you are not hungry and we…

beans peas and sweetcorn along with root veg are the highest in carbs so eat peas beans and sweetcorn in moderation and stick to leafy veg, cauli broccoli squash etc

I have a friend who is 6' she is a size 14 uk clothes and is between 11st7 and 12 stone she looks best nearer the 12 than the 11 - she is quite toned and used to weigh nearer the 11 when untoned - by toning she has put on a bit of weight but certainly not the inches I think you should just go for a healthy BMI and see how…

good luck this site is brilliant I have only recently found it but the food database seems to have nearly everything I eat so that makes it really easy to use hope you find it as helpful as I am finding it :)

definitely up the weights its better for definition to do less reps but higher weight and keep your protein levels up using a higher weight will make the difference go up in 2lb and do each exercise to 10-15 reps - but not so you can do 16 and then do another set do all exercises to the weight you can do I often use…

change the salt you have to losalt it is potasium rather than sodium based

at times like this I dont eat but I do take fruit and a cereal bar with me incase I need it while out on the walk

Think of the NSV you are attaining your fitness level your loss of inches and that one is so important NO ONE sees the number on the scales only you and maybe medical staff :):) but we all see YOU and you must already look smaller so think how you LOOK not what the scales say if you didnt have a starting photo take one NOW…

how about looking for a couple of vegetarian meals to make a change to your diet if you cut tofu thinly and dry fry - to dry it out - them marinate in something you would use for chicken that would make a lovely stirfry tofu is extremely high in protein how about making crustless quiche to take to work for lunches with a…
