I have been logging on WW for 2 months just to get me to think about what I am eating. I wasn’t losing weight with calorie restriction because I wasn’t being honest about the number of nuts, avocado’s and the amount of olive oil I eat. It initially helped me to lose 12 pounds but I have been stuck for the last month…

P.s I have tried eating more food and I gain weight. Eating Les Stan 800 calls a day this week bar one day when I honk I had 1200 I have only lost less than 1lb

Hi, I came to the conclusion about 15 years ago because I literally could not stop myself from binging on sugar. I ate a very and I mean very healthy diet bar the sugar binges. I managed to stop sugar altogether for about 6 years and felt great. then I had a little and a little more and a little more. I have been sugar…

Hi, I sympathise completely. I am totally addicted to sugar too. You could be describing my fight against the addiction exactly (apart from the pregnancy bit. I did succeed in cutting out Sugars for years but started to eat them again after my daughter was born. Good luck with it. I am on a mission to eradicate too. :)

I don't think that babies need carb and sugar those are less nutritious calories babies need protein and fruits and veg and low Glycemic index carbs e.g. wholemeal rice, bread, pasta. Keep your diet low on the glycemic index and eat as much as you want as long a you eat low carb. Don't go low fat when you are…

I too am struggling with sugar addiction. I can go for weeks without refined sugars and refined carbs and then I get offered some chocolate or cake and it is like I imagine heroin to be, I am hooked again. When I am doing OK and am off sugar I eat Coconut nectar and xylitol as replacements as they are sweet but low…

Here is a link on Candida for you http://www.thehealthierlife.co.uk/natural-health-articles/digestive-problems/candida-cure-symptoms-00154/

It could be that you have candida? If you do an internet search for symptoms you will find a list which will help you determine if you do or not. If you have removed unrefined carbs (what about sugar have you removed that too?), what happens is that the candida overgrowth starts to die away and then if you eat unrefined,…

I ate healthy stuff almost all the time and then would binge on ice cream or biscuits or sweets and chocolate,Majorly fattening stuff like a whole bag or 2 or 3 bags of fudge or a whole tub or even 1 and a half tubs of full fat ben and jerry's It is amazing really that I did not get massively overweight only gained about…

How about trying calorie cycling. 2 days of fasting i.e 500 calories a day and 2 days of eating what you like (within reason) and 3 days of eating your recommended calorie intake to lose weight. It seems to con your body into not going into starvation mode. The other option is to get a fitbit which will tell you how much…

ICE CREAM:happy:

I have been fasting for quite a few weeks now 2 out of 7 days and I find that the longer I do it the easier t gets and the better I feel. I have been slightly overweight ever since my daughter was born 9 years ago only about 20lb's however this weight has bothered me not from an esthetic point of view but health wise. I…

We are all beautiful, beauty inside us all and around us all. if only we look. Unfortunately one or two people who make not so nice comments have a little trouble finding it in themselves, so it is not surprising that it is difficult for them to see it in others. Walk one moon in another mans moccasins before you…

Oatcakes, Mackerel fillets and rice cakes were a wake up for me. I had no idea they were so calorific. :noway:

The problem is that it is unfair to judge people who have been fed crap all their lives as a child and then continued to feed themselves the same way as adults. Any nutritionist will tell you that fat and sugar are addictive and it is not so easy to stop, your brain craves it, like a drug. People feed themselves because of…

Great, my dairy is open to friends. I am looking for some other healthy eaters.

Remember that the thoughts that you have drive the feelings that you have and then the actions so if you think negatively you will feel negatively and then perform negative actions. Spend some time visualising yourself succeeding. Form a picture in your mind of the good days and every time you feel like you can't distract…

Hi, This is the same for me too. You can't take for granted the recommended calorie intake. I would reduce back down to 1200 if it were me. I struggle too to lose weight, in fact I have to stick to 1000 a day to lose. I am just about to start the Michael Mosley 5:2 fasting ie. 2 days of fasting at 500 cals a week. manly…

I struggle too, but have found that if I stick to the really hard weight loss category on Fitbit (not fitness pal - it won't let you lose so much so fast), and that if I scrupulously weigh my food (a pain I know), every last gram of fat sugar, milk everything that I do lose weight. I went on holiday last week and I had to…
