Having lived in both the USA and England, I can absolutely see a difference of marketing in organic food, and I think that's what it really boils down to. I found organic foods to be cheaper, easier to find and more "trustworthy" in the UK. Everyone I worked with ate organic. Buying non-organic cage eggs, even though they…

Your liver does the job of detoxify your body already. A lot of detox diets deny your body from the nutrients it actually needs as well. However, some detox diets just urge you to eat clean, organic foods. It depends on the diet really.

I think you need to be a little more specific on how long you're doing it for/how many stairs/etc....?

Rowing

Yeah. You give me a good solid argument that it benefits a normally healthy person over any other miracle diet and I'll eat my hat.

Benefits? None. It's a common myth that wheat in this day and age is bad for you. The higher fibre and nutrient contents of wholegrain wheat actually promotes digestive health. Bloating is caused by intestinal gas. It has multiple causes such as insufficient fibre, food intolerance or simply just....holding 'it' in! Long…

I got a couple packets of Marks and Spencers microwavable quinoa and those were okay. If I get quinoa I like to cook a whole batch and mix it with lentils for some extra protein. I would say yes if you're strapped for time.

I watched it but turned it off halfway through because it was already things I knew plus his tone of voice really annoyed me.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Ah, it's probably because I choose the veggie ones like Leek and potato. New covent garden is on sale for £1 as well so that helps!

If I'm tight on calories I'll have soup. New covenant Garden soup, and Glorious skinny soup are a lot lower in sodium than canned soup (they're fresh) and usually 300 calories tops for 600ml. I love them!

I've completely given up my hopes of any sport events being sponsored by anyone "healthy". They just sell themselves out for money. Not to mention that I can't think of any large companies that sell health products that don't already do many unethical things.

I have mixed views on Subway. On one hand it offers an alternative to other fast food places, I believe this leads to better food choices all around. On the other hand, it's fast food. It's not going going to be the healthiest sandwich ever. Not to mention it being DIRTY; the last time I was in there I saw flies on the…

I get bloating up to a week before my period, from 2-4lbs. I don't mind it, it's the CRAVINGS that kill me a little on the inside.

Diet coke uses 1 artificial sweetener, while coke zero uses two different kinds. That's all.

Haha I'm not overweight at all, I'm healthy for my size but everyone would like to be a bit skinner and toned. ;) I wasn't 'putting my views' on anyone but I also think 'saturated fats' go hand in hand with eating animal products.

Personally, I know nobody that doesn't like to 'pig' out every once in a while. However, all of my friends that eat meat frequently eat fast food, carry serious illness (my father, for example, has had colon cancer twice and still won't give up his atkins diet) and just generally tend to binge more than my vegetarian/vegan…

Well, kudos to them! I'm so tired of the negative connotations associated with vegetarianism. I recently read an article that predicts that in the coming decade there will be more vegetarians than meat eaters. We can only hope! :)

I second pilates. You can do things like sideline bicycle, leg lifts, bridges and a ton of other exercises that dont stress the knees.

Same thing every morning, an apple, 25g of muesli and 50g of alpro soya natural yogurt. I would wait to work out though, always more effective on an emptier stomach.

Dance Central 1 & 2 are seriously addictive. I can play them for hours and it has a fitness mode.

I like hot English mustard or salsa, super low in cals.

This is exactly what happened to me, even the 20 lbs! My boyfriend always comes home with chocolate and sweets. I just tell him if he wants me to stay super fit that he won't bring me anymore junk. That doesn't mean I dont treat myself every once in a while though. :)

Hiya! I only have about 12 more lbs to lose and looking to get mega toned. I love fitness friends! I'm from Northampton, add me =)

Ahh I agree even more with this! So dissapointing! Bellamy!? Really!?

It's absolutely fine. As women we naturally need more of these minerals.

I drink peppermint tea or mint green tea, the minty taste lasts a lot longer than brushed teeth.

Added you... anyone can add me too, love new friends!

@new_blossom Carrie Underwood as a brunette!

There's too many to count.... People sitting on the weight machines and texting/talking to their friend for ages. Women who 'race' you on the eliptical and keep looking over at your screen. Showing baking shows on the tv. ...and of course pervy men ;)
