nakd bars - they're totally yummy and really handy for just keeping in your bag or desk for a quick and easy snack that's fairly healthy but hits the spot more than carrot sticks! www.eatnakd.com - lots of lovely flavours - cocoa orange and berry delight are my favourites!

I don't know about "sky-falling brigade" but if you think of weight loss in terms of trying to eat healthily instead of trying to eat junk that is supposedly better because some chemical in it means you get less calories, then the more processed something is, the less you should eat of it! These sweeteners haven't been…

Be careful! Last summer I was doing some aerobics dvds to try and get fit. My ankle starting hurting a bit but didn't seem too bad so I rested it for a week and then carried on. It still hurt but I thought it was just because I was unfit and overweight. It gradually got worse and worse so I finally (about 2 months later!)…

Yes people lose weight, but it's not sustainable, you can't stick to a 500-800 calorie diet for ever. As soon as you up your calories, your body will pile the weight back on to make up for such a deficit.

bump - looks fab!

yum! I want to try these!

Bump. Who knew you could do so many things with chicken?! ;o)

Not at the moment! Maybe I need to kick myself into getting to the pool - perhaps that's the only way at the moment!

great ideas everyone, thanks!

I tried these and substituted 100g of the margarine for a mixture of pureed courgette (zuchini) and canellini beans. They came out quite heavy and gooey - not sure if that would have happened anyway - but very tasty!

sounds yummy!

yummo! bump!

Wow, this is really interesting. I have often gone through phases of taking probiotics - often after a brush with antibiotics but haven't really ever got round to taking them long term. If it helps weight loss (amongst other things!) then it's surely worth a go! I eat oat porridge every day - not sure if this would count…
