So...two camps. Camp #1: eat what you want within reason. Don't go overboard, but don't worry about it if you eat a bit more than you intended, it's not the end of the world. If you really want something, don't obsess about it, don't beat yourself up about liking it - have it or don't have it. Whatever. [eats burger with…

Legally 40... ...mentally about 12 and a half.

And whether the producer is 'detoxing'. As we all know, detoxing/cleansing threads have the highest crap:common sense ratio of all.

Since when have chickens needed to be mated to produce unfertilised eggs? How do they lay when they've never seen a rooster in their lives? [looks suspiciously at the farm cats]

Bit more unreasonable when that rule means a larger person would be expected to drink a gallon of water.

Sometimes, that isn't 'shaming' (is that a new American phrase for being a d*ckhead?). It's demonstrating that, unlike how some veggies/vegans seem to believe, that explaining the food process is enough to convert everybody to feeling exactly the same way (and those are the preachy ones I'm talking about, the type who say…

If you're T1/using insulin, pay extra attention, as you may need to recalculate doses. You don't want a hypo. If T2, as I understand it, anyhow, just be aware that it's a possibility. If you start shivering or shaking, that's another clue. Either way, if you've got a monitor, try checking BS both before and after exercise…

Get yourself to the pool. Use it for swimming and stretching. I had PF for over 5 years without any relief, despite shots into the side of the foot, because the whole thing was so inflamed, one little needle didn't do anymore than just help that one bit. One morning, I got up, went to walk down the stairs and the arches in…

Only if you drop them at the top of a lift. Then they're very cross.

I lose grip strength very easily. However, I use weights machines at the gym purely because they are more forgiving than a barbell - I know all the stuff about body weight exercises or squats being the 'only' way for success and, quite frankly, if they want to lie at my feet and trust me not to drop something on their…

Round your shoulders and collarbone looks more defined, too. You'll get days like that, when the scale is just trying to screw with your head. All it means is that you've had something to eat with a bit more salt or the exercise means your muscles are holding a little more water to aid repair/growth. Or your TOM is due in…

It's possible you'll snap back, it's equally possible that you won't. Either way, it's better to have loose skin than fat, as loose skin isn't going to reduce your lifespan and activities/quality of life in the same way. Personally, I've got some bits that got a bit loose and are already firming up, and some that I suspect…

Nothing wrong with a hairy man. But I am so grateful that you were a guy posting this.

For the last however long, women in particular were inundated with instructions to eat far, far less than 1,200. 1,000 was for the boring, lazy people, but real motivated individuals could easily access in the press diets of about 450 kcal daily for the 'lose half a stone in a week'/'slim to fit your jeans/little black…

So....he's choosing to drink alcohol instead. And is defensive about it. And has abandoned previously enjoyed activities in favour of it. And is seeing a decline in health as a result. Okayyyyyyy. (Spoken as somebody who will regularly go out and drink with their friends)

Suggestions: It gives you time to think, instead of pushing thoughts away with daily activity. You're tired, so less likely to be able to suppress emotions. Your blood sugar is a little low. Try carrying a small snack/protein drink in your bag and have that as you finish your workout. If that makes you feel better, then…

Swim instead. Keeps you moving, and gives the whole body a chance to heal. DON'T IGNORE THE PAIN - it's the body's way of telling you to stop before you do yourself permanent damage.
-
A cup of dry pasta makes more than enough when cooked for 4 people. Are you sure you've got the measuring out right? It's basically just white flour, which is obviously a very refined carbohydrate. It's like asking why does sugar or fat have lots of calories - because it is what it is.
-
Vodka is a lower calorie choice. Switch to diet mixers. Space out your alcoholic drinks with non alcoholic ones - most pubs will give you a glass of water or soda water free of charge. Avoid those premixed alcoholic syrupy things like WKD (bleurgh). And get a cab home, so that stops you falling into the takeaway on the way…

Plate: More fish. More vegetables. Less of the carbs/carbs optional. Job done.

Not good fat. Not bad fat. TASTY fat.

Having worked with plenty of alcohol addicts, it's a 50:50 split between those that are obese and underweight once they get into treatment. The reason for this? Some can afford to eat as well as drink. Some take in huge amounts of carbs through drinking. Some don't eat because they have gastritis, ulcers, varices or simple…
-
We're told that fat loss is really hard, we need 'special' foods, diet secrets, miracle cures and foods. We have to have experts flogging hugely expensive DVD sets where they screech at the camera just as they do on shows where long term joint health is ignored in Favour of having a sad story and a large number to quote at…

Did you divorce the preschooler yet?

Whenever I genuinely want it. And I don't buy the meal deals with fries and drinks, though - as I would eat those because they were 'there', not because I wanted them. Usually, one chicken fillet burger is quite enough on the way back from the pub.

No, I teach adults how to do math. So they can get jobs and function in society for the next 40-60 years, help their children learn, achieve better employment, access healthcare, manage their finances, that kind of thing. I can also do handstands, cartwheels and handsprings, when not using monkey bars. The splits, too. But…

The publicity and interviews will pay for her compulsory admission to an eating disorders unit. Or her funeral. Meh.

I stopped trying to be the person everybody else wanted me to be, stopped squashing the resulting anger and resentment down with food I didn't even like, and started doing the things I wanted to do, eat the things I wanted to eat because they tasted good and I was actually hungry - and if something made me feel angry, I…

You get on with the baking and I'll go out with my katana and make some Zom head decorations for the front gate.
