I don't know why but these kind of creations always make me think of my friend's dad and what he would cook after indulging in some of the "herb of the field". He'd put peanut butter, banana, vegemite(salty yeast spread), sardines, jam and cheese in a sandwich and grill it. I tried it once and it actually wasn't awful.

If you want a treat then have the real thing BUT just get one serving of something your really, really like. Ignore the family block of generic dairy milk and get the small bar of the good stuff. I like fererro and lindt. Not sure if you have those in the US but they're good. Buy a small packet of the best crisps in your…

Don't expect yourself to be successful overnight, the important thing is to keep trying. It is very easy to get demotivated when you've had a big blow out and gone over your calories for the day. Cut yourself some slack, after all it took years of bad habits to put the weight on and habits don't just disappear…

Count it, definitely! A supplement is something you take when you aren't getting enough real food, and usually they have an insignificant amount of calories. Coconut oil is real food and it has a lot of calories! If you don't like to cook with it, instead of just eating it from the jar why not add some raw cacao and maybe…

I eat any fermented version of soy without blinking, the Japanese have been eating Tempeh, Miso etc. for thousands of years without ill effects. The really processed stuff I try not to go overboard on. Everything in moderation.

You're probably over-thinking it. Anything that isn't that calorie dense like broccoli just add as much as you think will taste good and weigh it before you put it in. Unless you're baking it won't matter to the recipe if you're not spot on. Anything that is calorie dense like cheese, rice, flour, pasta, oils and butter…

For me pretty much any salad is filling BUT cut out the sugary low fat dressing. Go for a squeeze of lemon or lime and some real fat - like olive, walnut or avocado oil. The sugar in low fat dressing spikes your insulin, making you feel hungry again when it drops and you can't actually access all the nutrients in your…

I actually think the best way for someone new to asparagus to cook it is to saute it because you don't have to guess how done it is, you can check it as you go. Just add a bit of olive oil on medium head and give them a shake and a stir every few minutes. Don't be afraid to break a bit off and test it for how done it is. I…

Yup, Fat free greek yoghurt is kind of essential for my vegetarian diet. I don't use whey protein but considering it is 10g of protein per 100g yoghurt it's pretty darn good substitute! I also like to use it to make a pancake with less flour so it's lower cal: 1/2 cup greek yoghurt 1/3 cup flour (can be reduced to 1/4 cup…

Living with a man who could eat a tub of lard and wouldn't put on weight. His diet consists of doritos, followed by bread with half a tub of butter followed by half a dozen full fat lattes. Oh and cheese pizza, lots of cheese pizza. How he hasn't died of lack of fiber/nutrients is beyond me. Either way, I picked up on his…

I like the chobani greek yoghurt. I use the no-fat natural stuff because I already eat plenty of fattening cheese and just want the extra protein. 100g has 10g of protein and about 250kj(60cals). 1/2 cup of greek yoghurt, an egg, 1/3 cup self raising flour, maybe some frozen blueberries, bam you've got a pancake! I was so…

Fat shaming doesn't work, http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0070048 Scientifically speaking someone else giving you a hard time over your eating choices is not helpful in the long run. Completely cutting out something from your forever diet isn't helpful either. It isn't maintainable, nor is it…

I love these! I love the colour and I love the sweetness you get when they caramelize. I coated mine with garlic infused olive oil, garlic powder and salt. They have slightly more protein and fiber than regular potato fries which is a bonus too!

I'm a long term implanon user 9 years + First 5 years my weight was rock solid never fluctuated at all. I only put weight on by bad eating and laziness caused in part by depression(which was more linked to my bad eating than implanon hormones). I know you can lose weight on implanon because I shifted 8 kilos in a bit over…

I'm not an expert by any means but these have helped me: Chew a bit of a cinnamon quill(the real stuff not cassia bark which is passed off as cinnamon quite often). Ginger tea without added sugar. licorice root tea You could be having blood sugar highs and lows which is why you are craving sugar - your body gets alarmed…

Oh man, the Mac, Cauliflower and Cheese thing, why didn't I think of that? I love cauliflower and cheese but it's usually just a side, add it to the macaroni and suddenly we have a party of two awesome things that both love cheese sauce! By the way I just made the green bean fries you have on your blog with your veggie…

At the moment the plan is to cutback for the next two weeks and then to cut it out completely for 6 weeks and then see how I feel. I don't really drink any sweet foods, like juice or sugar in my tea but I do have barbeque sauce a bit and when I have junk food it is often sweet and I put the entire packet a way in one…

The reason why I said I was cutting out "added" fructose is because I will still keep on eating vegetables and the odd fruit but anything with added sugar which is a molecule which is half glucose and half fructose I want to keep out of my diet. Honey, maple syrup and agave have the same combination or even more fructose.…

Yep, that is pretty much why I lost a lot and then stopped working out altogether. I want to feel challenged but I can't go crazy like last time.

I have a great fruit and veggie shop up the road where I do all my healthy shopping but it has expensive junk food so whenever I want some I go to the regular supermarket and that is all I buy.

That sounds tasty, do you have a recipe or a link to one that is good?
