I've just posted on another thread but simple carbs / sugar can trigger my anxiety. If I keep away from sugar then I tend to have less symptoms for sure. My panic attacks are not caused by eating sugar but sugar affects my beta-endorphin system which acts as a natural damper for panic and anxiety symptoms.

It is really worth looking at a book called potatoes not prozac by Kathleen Desmasions. Don't give up the meds whatever you do if you are taking them, but this book explains some of the physiological causes that can make depression worse - namely simple carbs/sugars affecting endorphin levels in the brain. Its a simple…

Welcome. I think you may be in the right place :-) I needed to lose 100 and by keeping coming back here I'm over halfway there. MFP allows you to monitor your macros so you can see how much protein is in your diet. It is possible (maybe with the paid version?) to set your own macro goals for a day so if you are working…

1st nov.... 235.8 lb 4th nov ... 234.8 lb -1lb

I had a great burn on zwift today. Im just getting back into the saddle and it was the first day without saddle soreness :-) happy days

This is a great idea, thanks for setting this up. my goal is 20lb. I have recently been diagnosed with moderate arthritis in my hip. I was struggling to walk any distance because of the pain. I decided to go for it. I weighed in at 20 st at the beginning of the year and again when I started and now after some time, I am…

Its too variable to say anything like this. If the same study were extended then I am sure it would have found completely different results.

Fantastic result mate :-)

Its better to be doing this wrong than not doing it right :-)

Congradulations to the champions from last year - true dedication :-) I'm a bit slow off the blocks but 2 passes and one hit so far. I'm hoping now I'm back at work everything will fal into place again :smile:

3X Yes today. Managed to get out for a run and kept below my target. Pass days - many. I am just here for fun now :-)

I need to get back on the straight and narrow. I was doing great and got a coach who I trust. He runs and wins the triathlons I target and he is one of the nicest blokes you could meet. Then last week he called and told me he had to stop coaching because he had just been diagnosed with bowel cancer. It's shocking that a 40…

3x yes today. Lovely hike over some lovely hills:) 0 pass days

I take into account what I eat and when I eat it for sure. Ifvi am doing a heavy session of exercise like today when I hiked up a mountain t I have a very early breakfast with complex carb.. early meaning perhaps 2 in the morning, ill try and have something with complexish carb and a bit of protein on the way and then when…

3 x yes today. I had a great session on my bike simulator Fulgaz. I tried to ride one of the training courses for the triathlon I want to do again. I had to bail after 2 hours because my pulse wasn't behaving itself and staying too high but I got over the main hills so I'm happy about that. 3 pass days used. Thanks…

3x yes today. Only having one more day to go gave me the motivation to keep below :-) 3 passes used

I've been awol for tbe last couple of days. Friday was busy but I felt manky yesterday. Ended up having to dig my road our with my neighbours because of the snow. Today has been good here, more snow but lovely walk g conditions in the nearby forest. Friday... 3x yes Saturday.. 1 no. I went over my calories. Sunday.. 3x yes…

I logged and exercised and went a bit over. I just felt really hungry today. I am still in a deficit but I didn't hit my target so Passdays=2 :-)

3x yes today 1 pass day regarding aeroplanes - I've spent quite a few years of my life designing them. They are very safe. The systems are designed to be fail safe and can take multiple failures before anything bad will happen, this is measured in failures per billion hours. Each time there is an incident, which is very…

That is a really nice saying, so true :-)

3x yes 1 pass day Today has been hard. I had my booster jab yesterday and it has knocked me off my feet. I managed to get out for a walk with my dog but it was hard work. I just hurt so much all over :-( Saying that I had 2 jabs of astrozenica before and COVID still nearly killed me so I am glad I have the opportunity to…
