At uni one of the nicest things said to me was "for someone who looks so dumb I am actually quite smart" and that was from a so called friend

Could you ask your mum to weight out the rice once or twice so you get an idea of how much it is. When I used to just portion things up I put tons on my plate. An alternative would be pop down the supermarket and have a look at the precooked rice already portioned out have a look at the size, calorie information and how…

Just done 100 lengths swimming (2500m in 1 hour). Time for lunch soon then a slow walk with the wife and kids.

From rascal flatts to skatalites.

How about flapjacks? http://www.bakingmad.com/recipes/traybakes/truvia-mini-low-calorie-flapjacks Not quite as healthy as porridge with/without fruit but you can make lots at once, they are easy to store and take with you and cheap.

48 lbs so far, but a long way to go. Started 4th Jan so that is 6 weeks.

I am sticking to 1200 total, was hungry to start with but that was more breaking the habit of snacking at night rather than needing food. So far this year I have lost 3 stone (42lb)

If he likes jelly the Hartley's sugar free jelly is less than 10 cals per pot. I like the taste of them.

Eat a burger and you will lose more weight than if you didn't. Does that sound right to you?

If you are losing weight any significant increase in size will be muscle gain from exercise. Swimming is a good exercise that is mainly focused on upper body, and with a float between the legs you can focus it more on upper body

Rather than looking at the end target focus on the journey. You have to have good reasons why you want to lose weight, good enough to be stronger than any negative thoughts you will have along the way. Once you have these its about being on the right diet for you. Some swear by one others by another diet, don't worry about…

I know what my reaction has been when strangers have come up to me and tell me I need to lose weight. Would you tell a drug addict or a drunk in the street that they are harming them self? Its nice that you want to help people, but you are risking a lot doing so, I would let it be.

8-9 hours a day is not long hours its normal. When I have sore knees I go swimming instead of gym, its about adapting the exercise to suit your personal situation. If you really want to do exercise you will find time rather than an excuse. It is a lot easier to do once you have got yourself in the right mindset. All the…

I had a cold a couple of weeks ago I looked up this question on line and found the following guide lines. If the virus is effecting below your neck (chest, joints etc) do not train Do not push yourself when you are not well, if the virus is only effecting above your neck and you feel like you can and must train drop the…

I have found logging in my elliptical training as uphill walking 3.5mph gives a more accurate result. using the heart rate on the precor down the gym I am about 145-155 in my main 14 mins and 135 for my 5 min cool down and I do two rounds of that. That gives a calorie burn of 670 by heart rate calcs. uphill walking for 38…

What would the choices be for a bloke? Out of those two my moobs can go any day.

And here is a study saying different http://fitnessblackbook.com/main/starvation-mode-why-you-probably-never-need-to-worry-about-it/ here is another one. http://www.nature.com/oby/journal/v16/n5/full/oby200838a.html I think the one thing that everybody agrees on is that you need to make sure you get enough nutrients.

Here goes today's "to eat back or not" post.

Has anybody thought there is no "one size fits all" answer to the question. The rate of weight loss that is suitable varies person to person, situation to situation. For those who are massively overweight why should they limit themselves to 2lb/week?

Ice-cream tacos and cheese chocolate butter cream bread with oil + balsamic crisps (or chips for our foreign friends) chips (fries) burgers sausages Saying that I am so much happier with myself now that I am doing something about it. In all honesty I have not missed any of them yet, but only been 5 weeks.

Invite her over for dinner make one plate like you have it and cram in as much fat and sugar into the other plate. Give her that plate, When she does not lose weight and you do tell her it must be the cookies. I know its not fighting fire with fire but it would make me smile

Just burnt 1917 calories at the gym/pool. No way am I going to eat those babies back.

I'm confused in the title you argue against people who say they have to eat meat then your post goes towards a do not eat meat argument. Although it is possible to have a healthy diet without meat included within it but then eating meat will not result in being unhealthy. If you want to use the eastern cultures argument,…

I had Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) If this is what you have look up the Epley maneuver. its a series of sitting and lying positions that you should go through, for me it works

That could be explained by sodium levels. Eat rubbish -> increase water retention -> decrease weight loss then eat well -> decrease water retention -> increased weight loss.

Has there been any properly run studies to show the effects of a spike day. I would imaging something along the lines of same food and exercise for the 6 days then one group has a spike day and they other has a normal day? Looking at calories in vs calories out over a week the spike diet will have a net deficit, hence give…

I think the best type of diet is one that will mimic what you intend to do long term. If that is eat like a cavman (or woman) go for the low carb diet. If you want to have a healthy balanced diet long term go for a low calorie diet.

Cleaning not exercise? Don't you remember Lizzie Webb (for those in the UK)

Cleaning, light, moderate effort. Thats it. I logged 10 minutes of it in Jan, the true image of a modern man.
