Thank you so much for your kind and helpful words, everyone, I think I will try get some help from my school counsellor....yoga really does help, I do bikram which is amazing but have neglecte dit for the past fortnight which I think might be partially why I am not as mentally zenned out (lol) as I usually am....does…

I've seen about 3 counsellors in regards to this but they haven't really helped and/or my parents have brushed it off as a teenage phase/concern with food so I don't know who to really turn to :/ I might try and see my school counsellor without them knowing as I know it would upset/stress them especially during this time

Thanks so much guys this made me feel better....the only consolation is that I have been really good so far and loving the lifestyle change but everytime something emotional like this happens I am a food firnd!!! :P not so much fast foods I just eat a lot more snacks and portion wise for comfort....i used to self harm so…

I know nuts are calorific but they are really really good for satisfying you. Ever sincr i upped my good fat intake with nuts i have snacked less and list bodyfat. Give me 5 or so almonds and that keeps me going for a couple of hours!

I remember that one day/week/month does NOT equal my life. One day will not detriment my whole fitness regime. I remember my goals, remember that I want to get lean and athletic, and ensure I have a great workout to stimulate my determination!! Also I tell myself that as I have been in a deficit loyally for so long and…

I look skinnier than I did when I was lighter lol!! Scale is so irrelevant, if youre making a drficit and working out it would go against science to gain, so i could not care less, the fact im a jean size smaller is all i need :)

I promise i was the same and have upped my cals to 1200 and the weight has dropped off. I put on spme water weight at first due to my body being in shock at my actually feeding it hehe, but now i feel much better and stronger with my workouts. Some days i go over my deficit but i know its ok - im very active so i know im…

My cellulite has practically all disappeared since starting bikram yoga and eating very cleanly -very limited wheat intake, non processed foods, lots of fish, egg whites and lots and lots of green veg, peppers, raw foods etc. It takes ages but now my cellulite us a shadow of it's former self just from being 'healthy', not…

Clean and Lean Diet...not a 'diet' persay but change in lifestyle, absolutely amazing. No mumbo jumbo or atkins or what have you, very logical basics - no sugar, good, healthy, nature-intended foods and very satisfying!

Whilst I am not an expert I ave started to dabble in this casually, i.e. eating moderate/low carb for 5-6 days a week then upping it for 1-2 days and have actually seen myself look a lot leaner on my 'low' days and also have way more energy for my workouts...however I am just as curious as you are whether I should do it…

Thank you so much guys, I had a lovely roast! My mum made loads of sweet potato which I love so had alot of that, some chicken and mostly veg and gravy and I'm so full now but not sicky sick! I feel very satisfied now :D

Ok fantastic, so provided I keep my deficit, do cardio and generally promote fat loss I am 'safe' from a potentially bigger butt? :P Yeah I want to keep the muscle there but there is like...fat covering it...like a marshmellow :P So I assume my muscle will just get tighter, and I have to lose body fat to see definition.…

Again, very similar to my diet already!! And it has worked just fine for me!! This is making me feel a lot better about my lifestyle, and dubious about my PT!

This has made me feel so much better thank you! He just emailed me saying I would lose 6-9 pounds a week by doing this.....errrm....I oly wanted to lose another 7 pounds or so hahahah!

Exactly - I do't want to go through the pain of this diet, then eat one grain of quinoa and suddenly pile it back on hahahah!! I am happy with my diet now - I love variety, I love being healthy and eating fresh natural foods and I can't do that with this diet! :S Tbh this PT is amazing with his workouts but even I had to…

THIS IS AMAZING THANK YOU SO MUCH! Thisis pretty much what I eat already and I've lost and gained lean muscle within the span of a month already! Looking at my PT's diet just made me feel guilty for what I do now - i.e. eat grains etc, he said I should try to avoid things like brown rice and stuff which is a bit odd…

Oh my goodness...I burn about 600-700 calories per workout I do!!!!

Thank you so much guys, I really agree and was so sceptical at first having seen it, my diet already has a fairly large deficit and people have commented on the weight I have lost so far - tempted to try this diet for a fortnight or so to see if it does indeed work, or just incorporate some of this diet into my own - but…

Don't worry, same here!! We all have slip ups - think about it, however much weight one can gain/lose, it was NOT over a weekend or even a week! It was over a long period of time! In fact this will shock your body and motivate you more! Make yourself more determined than before! I'm telling myself to take it one day at a…

Honestly, putting it in perspective, ONE DAY of bad eating, even if it is way over the calorie deficit, cannot make a hugley detrimental difference...you didn't gain weight overnight, and you didn't lose it overnight, thus oen day of indulgence won't stall it badly. I normally keep my calories very low during the week…

I eat a great deal of fruit and haven't noticed any detrimental effects or weight gain...however it DOES make me bloat/retain water easily so when I feel a bit 'soft' I ust take it easy for the next couple days and I am fine. I tr to eat more veg than fruit though, and I do ensure it fits in my carb and sugar macros...also…

Nandos is a great option for dieting I feel. With plenty of side salads, beans, sweet potato, you can really pick and choose and avoid the heavy chips and chicken option- you're not stuck on one single plate, so you can be selective in what you want. I normally take off the skin just to cut extra cals, but if youre good…

I know, its really bad, but the thing is I never felt hungry at all/tired so it felt fine! So I'm trying really hard to up it for my own health. Part of the problem also comes from my upbringing, my family are very much 'eat 3 meals/no snacks' kind of family so my mum especially tends to reprimand me or tease me if I eat a…

I try to not log the 'simpel activities' even if I do feel like I have worked, it just makes it easier for me to differentiate between exercise and day to day routines, thus keeping my calories down as I am less likely to overeat. Having said that, I think any sort of getting about is good for you - so in my head mentally…

Thanks so much guys! This has really spurred me on to work hard and keep up with the weights now :)

Hey y'all, 5ft 11 here starting at 133 goal of 125 :D add me!

So if I do add weights, I will still retain leanness? This is solely a priority for me for my modelling - obviously with fashion lean is the way forward, hence my heavy cardio and low calorie diet! Even a 'strong, athletic' look is certainly attractive in my eyes but would hinder my prospects of booking jobs

Thank you so much all of you for the time and advice you've given me!! This is all so helpful and makes me feel a tad less guilty if I ever go over any calorie deficit haha....I just did some HIIT and some small weights (I found them hard ok LOL) and it feels a bit strange compared to my normal cardio slog but I do prefer…

No I really really want to lean out and look good, so if it means eating a bit more I don't mind - I'm just scared ill overeat as apparently my bmr is 1500, so do I want to go over/under that?

Thank you SO much for all your help everyone, and this is generally my diet I just do not feel any sort of hunger, I can go from having two egg whites in the morning till about 5 in the evening easily....I always though calories in calories out so low cal will burn fat? :S I'm not good at this hahah....I have my next…
