Women usually have high cravings for sugar/carbs during their menstrual cycles... Few things that might help you: 1) Consume lots of water. 2) Try to eat high protein diet 3) Whenever you feel a strong craving to eat something sweet.. brush your teeth..or just use a minty mouth wash.... it might sound silly but trust me it…

I eat around 1200 calories daily... Whenever I do cardio... I feel out of breath and feel a bit of nausea as well.. Any clues whats the reason ?

I usually come home from gym around 11ish and prefer to go to bed around 11:30... so I am not sure whats the best post workout meal for me...

??? Sorry didnt get it...

Unfortunately, My hair grows by 2-3 inches in 6 to 8 months. I have extremely slow hair growth and also I am losing hair and as per my doctor the follicles are dead !!! Its a male pattern baldness ! I am so scared of whats gonna happen.. I am losing confidence and dont like to step out of the house anymore. I have started…

I have been working with the Endocrinologist and Dermatologist from NHS for most than a year now. The endo said that she cant put me on spironolactone because that would mean that I have to take contraceptives too and she feels that there is a risk of cloating in lungs etc due to contraceptives as my BMI is more than 25.…

Are you allowed tiny amounts of oil ? You can use spray oil and saute them. They will taste very good. I can give you a recipe but not sure if you are allowed to have any amount of oil ?

All the best :)

Other than Biotin.. Do I need to take other vitamin supplements as well ?

Awesome.. Do try and let me know your feedback :) Would love to hear from you...

I will join you all too: SW - 213.4 lbs (Monday August 1) Week 1 - xxx lbs (Monday August 8) Week 2 - xxx lbs (Monday August 15) Week 3 - xxx lbs (Monday August 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Monday August 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday September 1) This is my first ever challenge.. Anything else I need to do ?

Lolz ! sure ! Please do ! It will be of great help because I am currently struggling to find a protein powder for weight loss that does not have soy and caffeine. :(

Try shuffling your carbs, protein and fat split.. Try different workouts... Your body gets used to a routine or food type..I have heard this so many times.. "Keep your body guessing"...Hope this helps !

Hey, Welcome to this site. I am not based in Oxford but close to Oxford. Having a fitness buddy is always motivating. All the best with your goals ! Cheers, Sophie

Interesting! I would be keen to know how many calories do you eat and what is your carb, protein and fat split ? Cheers.

Are you serious about 1 gram of protein per pound ? I doubt if that is true for someone who is trying to loss weight.... I weigh around 210 lbs... if I consume 210 gms of proteins... we are looking at consuming around 840 calories only through protein.... with 1200 calories per day allowance.... this would come to 70%…

I like taking whey protein once a day.. Either at the start of the day or after my workouts. It helps me to get to my daily protein limit and has very few calories too. I like Phd Diet Whey ! I have tasted choc and strawberry flavors so far... I liked them both. I also tried Maximuscle but didnt like them....…

I have noticed this crazy acne breakouts, severe hair loss, weight plateau and facial hair off late. I am suspecting some hormonal imbalances (high testosterone, pcod, insulin resistance ). My tests are due in next few weeks. Wondering if WW targets weight loss for all... I think high carb diets wont help me at all !

You might want to make ur day meals more denser and also try to have more proteins and lot of veggies n salad in ur late night meal.. It might help !

It can usually go up by 2-6 lbs... In my experience, if you stick to high protein diet, it will surely help you knock off those pounds within few days after TOM. I have been through experimenting a lot on this and drinking loads of water and high protein diet really helps. Wish you all the best !

Apart from fruits, legumes and veggies, you can include fiber rich breakfast.. All Bran.. Oats... etc...

Thanks Anna... Hugs Xxxx I will surely try to eat more ... Also changed my composition to 40C, 30P, 30F to make sure I am having good healthy fat too... I will also look around for some healthy supplements for hair loss n acne. I dont feel tired at all.. I feel pretty energetic throughout the day (except after my workouts…

My current settings are at 1300 calories but I find it difficult to eat so much ! I am not able to eat exercise calories back...I usually work out in evenings and have my dinner as soon as possible after my workouts. I am wondering how to fit in eating my exercise calories back !

My height: 170 cms. Current Weight : 212 lbs Target Weight : 165 lbs I am only half way through...I have at least 45-47 pounds to go.... This is the reason I m highly frustrated.... I have modified my calorie intake to carbs 40, protein 30, fat 30..... I have started taking fish oil from today....Hoping to some changes soon
