I eat a lot of buffalo burgers. Not sure what the difference is between buffalo and bison, although obviously you can't wash up in a buffalo. Boom boom.

Depends on how much muscle you've built up, but also I find (and I have NO muscle), that people keep telling me I've lost 'too much' (I'm 5'4", and have lost 1 and a half stone, so am 145 pounds now, with BMI of 25). I know I'm still not really 'ideal' weight, so it's just them trying to be nice, but failing.

It is taught, but it's one of those lessons which is a bit easy, so I don't think a lot of it goes in! TBH, I have all my cooking knowledge from my mum and grandma, and all my nutrition knowledge from various attempts at diets and medical issues. My husband who is the same age as me, so went through the same education…

Is this new? They've been doing GP referral for years. I've had it due to back problems. I think if they really want people to engage with it though I think fitness needs to be seen as something that is affordable and not for the latte swigging middle classes. I know anyone can get out and walk/jog/cycle, but I think gyms…

I love Freya bras and will not buy any other brand, but I don't think they're as available in the US? What I have learned is to go and try every single bra on, which is a pain in the *kitten*, but even the same make will differ, so I might be a 34E in some makes, but 34DD in another and even in other bras of the same brand.

If you find you're craving directly after a meal, just wait 15 mins for the sugar from that meal to hit your blood stream and you won't crave anymore.

Eat low GI stuff and more protein which means you won't get the crashes after eating which then cause you to crave. In the evenings I also have things like low cal hot chocolate to replace the bag of maltesers I used to get through.

I average about 1 a day. Usually salad with my evening meal, but it's definitely not 80g worth so probably not even that. I'm hoping tea counts, I have loads of tea and that's made out of leaves, leaves = veg ;-)

I'm not a mother, but I'm guessing you need to eat more to breastfeed - you're feeding another human so you need to take that into account. I think 10 pounds is quite a lot really, assuming baby was some of that and then you've lost water etc. It will come off, but tbh I think you've got better things to be worrying about…

I get this. I have PCOS and my understanding is that when I eat food my body produces loads of insulin because my body is basically a bit crap, and then because of the insulin I get a sudden drop in blood sugar. I get the shakes, feel faint. I've even had to be wary about driving at certain times because I've noticed my…

I've never done atkins but I did lose a stone in 2 weeks of pig2twig. Very successful for weight loss - probably because of my PCOS. BUT it made me feel awful I have to say, felt tired, physical exercise - even walking, was out of the question most of the time. I had awful stomach cramps. Pig2twig does re-introduce food so…

Depends on how long for, the breed of the dog and the temperature of where you live. Dogs don't sweat as we do, they tend to get rid of their excess heat through their paws and their tongue, so they can overheat and in the worst case scenario - die :( so just be really really careful that you're not over stretching him/her…

You really should not do sit-ups or crunches, they weaken your spine and only serve to reinforce the movements that you do all day that damage your back rather than providing any support.

I make a lot of homemade stuff, so I often use a calorie-cookbook, like hairy dieters, cook yourself slim and then hubby does a comparison calculation of all the ingredients (because he is a massive nerd) to check whether it's correct. I get annoyed with weighing things because I want food NOW and hot and he prefers to…

What kind of tbsp do you mean? Do you mean one that is actually a spoon? if so was it heaped? if not are you talking about the measuring types of spoon where you level it flat? I find the latter are much smaller than an actual spoon (although wouldn't use one to weigh out mayo cos it would all stick inside it!)

oh yes I do whole chicken about once a month and use all the bits for stock and more meals -amazing how many meals you can get out of a small chicken! But It's time for me too. I work 7 days a week so don't always have time to roast a bird in the evenings - breast meat is just easier for chucking in a dish, or using a slow…

I walk up and down a very muddy hill twice a day in heavy wellies which takes about 90 mins per day of walking. Often in the rain. Always with my dog. I'm losing weight. I can't run due to back issues and can't do anything other than swimming which I hate. I like to think balancing in the mud strengthens my core and the…

I reduced my intake after educating myself on the kinds of products they use. I'm not a vegan, or a vegetarian, but I like to consume meat that is organic and reared and killed in the kindest possible way. So I won't eat chicken from KFC because I know they only use chicken from intense farming, which use fattier birds,…

Not true, I've lost 3 stone in the past doing Davina power of 3 - great DVD. And you can easily opt out of doing abs (which are the WORST thing you can do if you have a bad back like me), unlike the shred.
