All great advice, thanks... He actually doesn't enjoy it at all, he hates it (all of his cardio is done on an elliptical at the gym, which is soul destroying even thinking about it!)...which is kind of why I thought he might be interested in the combo of strength and cardio. Have I read correctly amongst fitness articles…

Is it available for Android?

A-ha!! That's what it is...I've reset to lightly active, because I walk every day, at least 6 days a week. That makes sense now. It's not taking that many calories away, so I'll leave it for a bit and see if it makes any difference. As long as I can still lose, I'm not all that bothered about whether or not I get calories…

I used intuitive eating to recover from disordered eating. It works...I didn't lose any weight, but I was able to maintain easily, and it helped me tremendously to change the negative ideas I had around food, dieting and weight loss. Now I'm back to keeping my food log so I can lose some weight in a healthy way (we moved…

Don't diet! Eat a bit less, make healthier choices, but if you want a cookie, eat a cookie, then move on!

I agree with everyone who said personal preference. I don't intentionally 'cheat' as I don't consider any food 'bad'. Tonight we had fish and chips for supper, mainly because my family routine was a bit nutty this evening and I didn't feel like making the effort. I ate a small portion, enjoyed it, and it did bring me over…

I will never give up pizza, especially since we were gifted with a breadmaker...I make the dough in that, make my own sauce, and go easy on the cheese. Two slices of home made pizza is definitely more than enough, especially if served with salad...it's definitely on our menu once a week!! Of course it's more calorific than…

I don't really eat bread because I just don't like it! I am sort of a low carb eater by default...I am not a huge fan of most grain based stuff (whole wheat pasta and porridge are about my only grain based carbs). It's like anything though...if I liked bread, I'd eat it...no point cutting out stuff you like, this is meant…

No food should make anyone feel guilty!! It's all about healthy eating, not minimal eating. I love to splurge now and then on something really decadent, and if it means I go over my calorie goals for one meal or one day, then so be it. I make sure I REALLY enjoy every bite!! And, I move on from it. Living in the world…

Kind of agree with the making time: I am a full time PhD student, I work as a part time librarian and I am doing some university teaching. I also have two young children and a husband...it's not easy to find time, but it is possible!! Sometimes, I have to split my exercise...10-20 mins in the am, 10-20 mins in the pm.…

Though I was continuing to eat some dairy when I started primal months ago, I have been much more mindful of how much I'm consuming...now that I am a bit better at cooking this way, I find that cheese doesn't have to be my 'go to' snack or fat source anymore. I try and keep my cheese consumption to one very small serving…

It's weird...I was doing IF before I knew it had a name, and thought it was really 'bad', until I read a little bit about it. I don't do it daily, but I will not eat if I'm not hungry...it's a 'rule' that has helped me tremendously in both weight loss and healing my compulsive eating. I generally don't decide to skip a…

I felt really tied to tracking when I got started, mainly because every 'diet' I've ever done has a tracking requirement. I don't anymore; I discovered that because I generally don't snack or eat between meals, I'm actually under my calorie goal when I'm committed to eating properly, which sometimes freaks me out more than…

Yesterday I whisked up some Evoo, a bit of organic apple cider vinegar with minced garlic, salt and pepper. It tasted great on my salad...would definitely do it again!

Made a great one last night: Browned some nice ground beef with onions, garlic and zuccini. Added some fab homemade pasta sauce and stuffed the mix into some beautiful red peppers, sprinkled with a little bit of grated parm and baked for about an hour. Served it with a bit of pasta for the family, salad for me. Even my non…

Thank you all!! I managed a good bit of chilli tonight...I usually put loads of veg in, but I kept fairly basic tonight, just for comfort's sake. I feel a lot better now. It's frustrating, because getting rid of wheat usually gets rid of inflammation, but the inflammation in my mouth was making me want wheat pasta!! I…

No, I won't pay for the article...I'm not that invested to be honest. I just hate when people tout medical journal articles as the absolute truth and think there is no error in research. Sure it is probably a lot more solid than people's opinions, but to think that it's completely un biased is a bit foolish. I mean, if it…

I am in England, so am aware of the newspaper. I am also a researcher, so would probably find some fault with the journal article, since most research is fallible to some degree. Additionally, most research journals WON'T publish negative medical theories...drugs can be found to be 'good' if just one person responds…

And with this study... Red meat was the only possible link with heart disease and/or cancer? We don't have any other information about the participants just by reading this article. How many of the people studied smoked? Took drugs? Had a hereditary risk? Lived in a polluted city? There is nothing to suggest in this…

How many people did they actually study? They said that a quarter of the population loosely adopted the LCHF lifestyle, 5% rigidly adopted it, but there was an overall spike in cholesterol across the whole of the population? I may need a bit more info to make a determination. My adoption of the Paleo/Primal label was…

If I eat another scrambled egg...I will cluck! Those were the only things that I was really eating when this whole tooth thing started. Butternut squash is a good choice, so is zucchini...I just need to have stuff that I don't have to chew too much. There are probably plenty of options, I just kind of miss my 'normal'…

I get the majority of my carbs from fruit and veg, mainly because I don't like things like bread and pasta. I do find that without starchy stuff, I am less hungry and I have a lot more energy in the day, so I like that aspect. I've also lost my craving for sugar completely, which is weird, because I used to have a sweet…

This topic seems to fuel such anger and misinformation...everybody obviously has their own opinion, experience or research to add here, but the simple truth is that no diet seems superior; some people lose weight just by cutting down portion sizes, some people limit a particular food group, some people just up their…
