be aware of it & move on! you have time to rectify this! as your body uses food over a 3 day rolling period!! It is the prolonged periods of less healthy choices you need to worry about! But don't fall off from the good work you are going over what is essentially a spoon of butter!!

Could use a heart rate monitor next time & find out roughly how many cals :smile:

Hmmmm!! Yawning = not enough oxygen!! However I have never had this issue!! They are contagious though :) Maybe you could be in need of iron? as this would help you with red blood cells & let your body carry more oxygen, Just a thought OR maybe your breathing technique is not quite right?

French Toast ... Also known as 'Eggy Bread' YUM!!!!!! sounds like one for me to have on sunday morning maybe!!

Thanks everyone!! thanks for being so supportive! I'll let you know how I get on ... Hopefully it is just a fluctuation from today.

I do because I want to shed 20KG so I don't have to lug it across the UK on an expedition in summer when I have a 30kg backpack on!!! *lol* I'm guessing my body will get used to the extra carbs I have introduced & settle fown in the next week or so? But the striations on my arms are looking nice, I might wear a vest in the…

No worked out hard since I was 15!! I have never had an issue like this before, I use MFP to track diet, however my diet is pretty tight!! Additinal carbs is the only change I have made to my programme! Bu 3 KG one week!! is it worth it?? But I don't have a choice!! It is just strange that I have gained weight but look…

I guess we will see what happens next week!? I need to get my body into carbs for energy! I was sitting at 105kg hapily But shot up to 108kg as an idea I do 1 hrs cardio daily, weights at least 3 times a week ... Climbing 2 times per week & 2 X 14 mile hikes at the weekend!! such a weight gain is strange ... it could just…

Thanks! I drink 3 liters of water minimum per day as I am so active & I don't think I have gained 3 KG of muscle in a week ... I don't think that is even possible on steroids? I could reduce salts!! would upping carbs increase weight so drastically? as I am adding more carbs as I am starting an endurance programme for a 2…

You need a half decent heart rate monitor!!! The one I have asks several questions: AGE, SEX, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, RESTING HEART RATE ... and so on! this can then work out calories quite accurately (but you have to wear a chest strap) ... although brisk walking is not really going to push your heart rate up so much to burn a…

I have read a few of these kind of things like the ABs Diet & GI Diet, I think all of these 'methods' have one fundemental flaw! that is they are kind of temporary! you will loose weight short term, but there is very little chance of sticking to it strictly for any serious term ... & as we know once you stop with these…

I like to snack on raw veg ... I don't count it though because it takes more calories to digest than it contains, but it fills you up nicely when you get hunger pangs. I drink a glass of water before I eat anything too, because sometimes the sigal for thirst can be confused with a hunger pang, & also I sometimes get what I…

I use a Tan Accelerator By Hawaiian Tropic, it is in a black bottle called 'Professional Solarium Tan Amplifier Gel' it is quite good & non irritating like others I have used, I also use a bronzing moisturiser too

I should also point out you need to eat less fat as your body will use 'new' fat first, so as a man my body needs 70 - 100 g of fats per day to function, if I eat all this fat in my diet, I will not cut fat, if you want to get lean you need to eat high protein food ... I guess this is telling granny how to suck eggs?? cut…

You will lose weight if you stay within the calorie target, if you burn more than you eat ,you will lose weight it is simple science. The problem would be a lack of protein & Vitamins & minerals & too much fat and carbs. your body will only use the fat and carbs it needs from the cake & look for the other things it needs…

YOU CAN'T SPOT REMOVE FAT!!! as you lose weight your body will decide where the fat goes from, however toning up with weights won't do any harm. You have to realise though all the bench pressing in the world will not make your chest leaner, soo I would suggest stick with the diet (well done) & increse cardio as this will…

It really depends on if you intend to keep weight off long term? you can easily lose 2lb per week BUT it is more likely that this weight will be re-gained once 'normal' service is resumed. If you are only eating 1000 cals per day though? is this your normal intake? or are you trying to cut back more than the site says?…

meringue is quite good as deserts go! it is super sweet so you don't feel cheated but, it is LOW FAT! I know there are lots of carbs in them, but as deserts go they have no cholesteral & stodge like other desserts, teamed up with christinafpdx's Fruit salad thats a real winner!! and you could make a summer fruit gratin, to…

Whenever I need to get a quick healthy meal I tend to use frozen vegtables & tinned tomatoes! Microwave & it is good! & if you need the protein you can mix up a shake to go along with it! OR Omelettes are always good... It's always a good idea to have some frozen veg, tinned tomato's & a small amount of prepared salad I…
