Any big supermarket will have a "free from" section which stocks a variety of gluten free breads, breakfast cereals and other products such as oats, crumpets, pasta, biscuits, flour, etc. Asda and Sainsbury sell gluten free sausages, and Asda's 'own brand' frozen hash browns are gluten free. It's worth having a look in…

I got TWO Graze boxes free using the code: RH7J5YJ My first Graze box is free, and my fifth one will be too. So if I decide that I like the Graze boxes and want to keep receiving them, I can look forward to another freebie in a few weeks time :)

The best gluten free cake ever: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chocolate_roulade_79152 It has the taste and texture of cake despite the complete absence of flour in the recipe. It's impossible to describe how good it is... someone made it for me and I honestly questioned whether it was actually gluten free! The basic…

Beer! I hate anything sweet, which most other alcoholic drinks are... I want a beer! Gluten free beer is too expensive to drink regularly and not available when I go out to a pub :( For those who miss pizza... Zizzi (a restaurant chain in the UK) has been trialling gluten free pizza... the improved recipe should be…

I tried it and it was absolutely awful. It tasted like sweet hummus, and had the texture and flavour of hummus - beany and not floury or buttery enough to be real cookie dough. I binned the whole lot :(

I'm 5'6, 139lbs, and have the same problem: Stick thin arms and legs but a huge gut and a fat bottom. I've previously weighed as little as 126lbs and still didn't have a flat tummy. My goal is to get back down to 126lbs and then just keep exercising to try and fix my figure. I fear I may have to drop as low as 120lbs in…

Erm... she was never a US size 12... she was certainly no more than a size 4, and had a 23 inch waist. The urban myth about her being a size 12 seems to have become quite widespread because it makes larger people feel better about their weight.

People ate less dairy, meat and sugar, and more vegetables. It's generally accepted that rationing improved the nation's health by forcibly imposing a balanced diet.

One serving of cheese is TINY considering the high amount of calories, and it's easy to eat too much. I eat cottage cheese but rarely bother with the sort that needs slicing - I'd rather spend my calories on food that's more filling. Also it's worth noting that British people have never been so healthy as during WWII when…

I don't eat my exercise calories so that gives me a bit of wiggle room to have a few glasses of wine at the weekend. I restrict alcohol to Friday and Saturday nights only, and I try to eat more protein and less carbs/fat on those days. Also I usually stick to a white wine spritzer (dry white wine topped up with soda water…

My BMR is around 1400 and MFP set my calories at 1200. I decided that was far too low and changed it to 1500... I'm still losing weight :)

A tiny drop of vanilla extract makes a huge difference in flavour for virtually zero calories...

I eat 1500 calories a day (sometimes up to 1800, but I break even on those days and don't lose any weight).

Genius bread is amazing, and Orgran pasta is good too. Rice, rice noodles, potatoes, quinoa, corn tortillas, etc are all gluten free. You can also buy gluten free porridge oats and breakfast cereals, and even pizza bases! Sauces can be a problem - get some cornflour and make your own, or if you're in the UK you could try…

Suma peanut butter is lovely - no added oil, salt or sugar, just 100% peanuts. It can taste a little bland until you get used to it - but once your tastebuds adjust, your previous sugary/salty brand of peanut butter will taste yucky!

I'd say you're not eating enough carbs and you're probably eating too few calories. Work out your BMR using the tools on this site and don't eat less than that.
