Avoid carbs, stick to light regular meals, lots of water and apples which act as a natural diuretic to help with fluid retention. :)

Pea protein!!!! :smile: I've been vegetarian most of my life and as I got older realised the distinct lack of protein in vegetarian protein sources so I did my homework. Just add a scoop of pea protein during the cooking process and that is aprox. 120cals for over 20g protein PLUS it contains amino acids etc. Go to…

Look up vegetarian protein supplements. I use hemp protein but am about to switch to pea as it has a higher protein content.

I drink hemp protein. It's natural, high fibre and high protein. It also contains alot of the amino acids etc that i don't get from eating meat. I find I need the extra protein kick cos I'm veggie. :smile:

Exactly!!! haha I hear amazonian I think big, butch, masculine. Of which i am generally, not. So i'm no waif but broad and mannish is far from me :/ And totally agreed! "It's not my fault everyone else is short" is my exact response when people tell me i am tall :laugh:

Agreed, I like beautiful shoes too :happy: And I'm sorry but yes i am heightest haha I don't mind too much if they are same height as me but in flats I really would like them to be at least my height but a little taller is best. I know men can't help if they weren't born with the tall gene but I find it freaky when I see…

Lifes too short to be paranoid girl!! Grab those heels and make it a challenge to look for that tall fella next time your out :wink:

haha i don't wear them with trousers, they have to be on show or i feel kinda butch too lol I'm very girl-shaped, god blessed me wth a waist....forgot the boobs and gave me some paunch but I guess he is male and therefore cannot be perfect...so aslong as I'm dressed abit girlie i don't mind. I get alot of my shoes from…

And it's about how they make you feel!! It's not quite the same rocking it on the dancefloor in flats. You feel kind of "frumpy" :frown: Amittedly, after one too many the majority are less likely to take a tumble but i fall over sober so...lol

5ft10 and my heels are always skyscraper. Though, i prefer a wedge or sturdy heel to a stilletto...less obvious. And my friends are all petite so i tend to look like some kind of amazonian haha Also, does anyone find they attract alot of older men and really short men???? I hate this!! :huh:

In agreement with Shaydon. I lost 30lbs and personally could hardly tell. One month of exercise and not much lb loss ALOT of inch loss and general shaping and toning. Conclusion, exercise provides far superior aesthetic results if you ignore the numbers on the scale. :)

I started 6 wk 6 pack today and I think I will continue logging my 30DS as circuit training but because 6W6P feels like less cardio but more intense on strength I'm going to log it as calisthenics vigorous effort.

I started this today aswell and want to know how to log it??

Its an actual fitness dvd by Jillian Michaels and its quite hard going. You can find it on amazon for like a fiver if you wanna take a butchers :)

I'm in :smile: It'll be round 2 for me. Will be adding in a couple of rounds of burn fat boost metabolism aswell. Will post stats june 1st!!

Have you tried the chocolate oat milk?? Tis rather yummm too :smile:

I've never tried it. But I associate it with body-builders and I wanted to increase my protein not become superwoman haha Although, I actually have (small) guns now which I'm quite proud of :happy: Ooo don't have that one. I'm just about to start level 3 of 30 Day Shred, a couple of days off were required this wkend due to…

Yusss spread the word!! Although, I have tried, nobodies interested if you don't mention "whey" when discussing protein :ohwell: I only really started using supplements recently, when I discovered the Jillian Michaels workouts and decided it was time to get fit properly. That extra protein makes such a difference to…

Whilst giving me a concerned and suspicious look..."I can't get over how SKINNY you are getting, I was watching you when you were asleep..." erm I'm still a uk 14, have a little tummy, pearshaped with chunky wobbly thighs and a huge *kitten*...this was my mother btw. My naturally, svelte, petite friend who regularly has…

ok so slightly anti-diet but to get myself used to it i added a spoon of maple syrup n it tastes kinda yum!! And now I can just drink it straight up cos I is hardcore haha I like the high-fibre and amino acids side to it aswell cos I'm veggie.

Meeee!! xD Was beginning to think I was the only one haha First time i tried it though, I made the mistake of smelling it but once you get past the colour etc its all good :)

water, water, water!!! Everytime you feel the need to nibble....drink :) And be gracious, don't ever accept freebies!!

Oatmeal!!! with a little fruit or coconut/hazelnut milk for sweetness. Its all warm and comforting :happy:

My diet is quite restrictive (yes, I know....) but I eat clean and aim high on the protein, I'm also veggie... So here goes: B-complex for energy, immune and metabolism (I have noticed a distinct improvement in energy levels) Calcium w/ vitamin D Multi-vit + Iron Hemp Protein containing fibre, vits and essential amino…

Well, generally most of the meats are pre-treated or marinated however you put it, usually in sauces cantaining large quantities of salt, msg and sugar. And that is before you add it to the salt, msg and sugar that is added in the cooking process. There is also alot of potato starch and cornflour involved in the thickening…

I work in a chinese i.e. I know whats actually in the food.....pls so help you god NEVER get a curry!!! and even boiled rice is effectively empty calories. Nothing in batter or crispy, most things are packed with salt and msg so when you order request low salt so they don't stick any extra in. And sweet and sour....you…

Level 2 day 2 and it is safe to say that altho I found it marginally easier today simply because I knew what was coming and even though I can now beast level 1 completely, level 2 officially owns my *kitten*!!! Just keep reminding myself how much easier level 1 is now compared with the first time I did it and can't wait…

Yeah, I know, my mother was prescribed them for fluid retention in the ankles and legs when she was in the early stages of renal failure, my dog takes them for mitral valve disease. But the OP asked so I answered I also pointed out that this is NOT reccommended for regular use i.e. one off if your feeling that desperate.

Water balance tablets or just generally diuretics like frusemide and lots of water.....diuretics have a 48hr shelf life once in your body so expect to pee ALOT!! And not reccommended for regular use just if you really want to get into that frock and the pesky tom is causing you nightmares otherwise its easier to just ride…

I use Good hemp natural protein its low-cal, high protein, high fibre and contains essential amino acids....i get mine on amazon :)
