Taking aspirin long term (as in moderately high dose EVERYDAY for years, for people at risk of CHD/heartattack) is what will give you ulcers, which is why you get enteric coated (wax coat) ones if you're going to be taking them long term. Taking aspirin or ibuprofen from time to time will not give you ulcers, and…

As someone who hates running, not running!! I find I focus more on things I'm stressed about when I'm running. Make yourself a playlist of high octane songs that put you in a good mood and listen to them when you're doing your thing at the gym. I find it impossible to be grumpy when things like Pendulum are rampaging about…

If you have some spare time, you could cook up a huge stew/chili or something similar that can sit in the fridge for a week. Take portions in with you. It would be repetitive eating, but at least you'd know what was in it and aside from the initial cooking bit, would be totally stress free.

Almonds are my get out on hungry days. Quite filling, but I've heard not all of the fats are absorbed so they contribute less than you'd think to your total calories.

Do you mean that you pronate with your right foot, or that you have rectified that? It sounds like you had shin splints as a result of pronation. Do you still get the shin pain when you run? Or is it just muscle tiredness?

I'm not aiming to lose a huge amount but it's quite demoralising. Willpower problems I think. Also having some difficulties at the club I with, so I've been…

I think ok, this is bad today. But one day in the future, IF I carry on with this, I'll look at myself and say HELL YES. We all have bad days, I'm having one too, but you just have to remember all the minor achievements you've made already. One huge one you've already made is not just to decide you need to lose weight but…

The body is really damn good at homeostasis and maintaining the appropriate amount of water. Screw the high volume, drink what you want and check you're not dehydrated using this: http://performance.borgessweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Urine-Hydration-Chart.jpg another good test is pinching the skin on the back of…

Hey folk, I've been on here for about a month and the first few weeks went well, but recently my motivation at the gym has dipped massively and I could do with some support to make me go! Groups are the way forward, and 10lbs will bring me much closer to a happy weight. Currently 12st 8, and really want to hit the 11st ?…
