  • You certainly don't have to eat nothing but healthy food to lose weight. As long as you eat less calories than you burn you will lose weight. Some people choose to mainly eat healthy food so they can eat more of it. Others like to incorporate the foods they love into their diets in smaller portions. I myself prefer natural…
  • Are looks important to me? Yes of course for the initial physical attraction but this is only a fleeting thing lasting days or weeks. I might be initially attracted to the way a person looks, but I would never date them for any length of time if that was all they had going for them especially if they were mean, ignorant,…
  • What is your average heart rate during these workouts? I personally aim to spend most of my cardio work-outs in zone 3 or above. I wouldn't call any of the above intense at all especially jogging at speed 5.0. An hour a day for 3 - 5 days puts you in the "Moderately Active" category for most calorie counting websites I've…
  • Real cream or full fat milk. Or Baileys Irish Cream if I'm feeling indulgent.
  • Sample size fail renders study useless.
  • Perhaps not, but heroine addicts are given methadone to help them combat their addictions.
  • This. ^^ By changing your habits and rituals you may find it easier to not get the cravings, or not get them as strongly. I know I always get my chocolate cravings if I have dinner then sit down to watch some TV. During the day when I'm busy It's a lot easier to not think about chocolate and if it's not in the house It…
  • Huge congratulations to you. You are way fitter than me, no way could I run 8 ks without a break and I'm not overweight or a smoker. Does this awesome achievement make you want to give up smoking?
  • Because burning calories in the form of excersise allows you eat more, improves your health and fitness, maintains or builds muscle and is an excellent stress reliever and source of endorphins. Sure you could lose weight by eating your 1200 calories a day and not doing any excersise but you may find that you have lost a…
  • Same here. I would also need to know the micronutrient breakdown before I could make a choice. What vitimins and minerals are in each food? If I had to eat one of them I would choose the most nutritious food over which tasted better. Otherwise I would chuck them both in the bin and choose a food that was both healthy and…
  • Only one day? Poor you. Easter is a 4 day long holiday where I live and all of them must be heavily coated in delicious Lindt chocolate. Actually if you count celebrations starting tonight in preparation for Good Friday tomorrow, it is 4 1/2 days :happy:
  • Its amazing how only 1 or 2 small changes can have such an impact on weightloss or health goals. You really don't have to completely change your life at all. Some changes I have started to make are to eat more nutrient rich food and further reduce the amount of empty calories I eat (biscuits, cake, sweets) and especially…
  • In for the answer to above question.
  • I've been Pinteresting tattoo ideas for the last couple of weeks and have decided on botanical illustrations of flowers, birds and insects for my thigh. http://www.pinterest.com/natmarie73/botanica/ http://www.pinterest.com/natmarie73/tattoo-ideas/ The two boards above show the style I'm into at the moment. I already have…
  • Vegemite on raisin toast. Whipped cream and jam sandwiches.
  • Sounds like fun - what does it do?
  • Wine and beer. Lots of wine and beer. Which led to bowls of hot chips and wedges with sour cream and aioli. Finished up with dessert and Baileys Irish Cream.
  • Glad to hear it's all sorted and your hubby isn't the jealous, meglomaniac, controlling, nazi, fashion police everyone was making him out to be :wink: Sounds like you two have a great marriage there.
  • ImagePlease Is that it? Pfffft perfectly fine. From your description I was imagining you were going to rock up looking like Miley Cyrus or something. BUT - I do agree with other posters who have suggested discussing with your husband why he is uncomfortable with you wearing it. [/quote]
  • Not sure how this means Americans (and other western civilisations) don't eat much more sugar now than we used to. I too would like to see data that disproves it. I assume the OP means sugar as any processed sugar whether it be cane sugar, beet sugar HFCS or whatever. The fact we have easy access to cheap pancake syrup…
  • I love that last outfit! My own personal opinion - unless you are in high school nix the crop top and super short shorts. It's great that you are confident enough to flaunt your body, but your husband is obviously not comfortable with it for whatever reason. The rule I live by is to either flaunt the top half or the bottom…
  • And don't forget that the FDA also approved thalydomide as being perfectly safe on the advice of Big Pharma scientists based on sound "scientific" evidence. And we all know what happened there. Not to mention the totally flawed study on saturated fat that still has repercussions today. I am waiting to see what the outcome…
  • OK, here goes just to summarise what this thread will become in about 2 pages based on every other juice thread ever. OP - I want to do a juice fast/detox yada yada yada Why? Just eat the food Coz I need to detox Your body detoxes naturally What toxins will be removed by a juice detox All the sugars There is no such thing…
  • I'm a chocolate snob as well so they would have to be very high quality chocolate before I'll eat them. Lindt or Guerlane at the very least. And no one buys me those :cry: . I will pick up a few Lindt bunnies and dark chocolate for myself and some cheap cadbury eggs to hide around our campsite so the boy can go on an…
  • So after a week of not drinking diet coke you had some and felt like rubbish? You also state you have not had low energy for a week even though low energy is normal for you. Clearly your body is telling you that this stuff is not good for you. Whether it is the aspartame or caffeine or whatever - listen to your body. If…
  • What I have heard about lemon and water - this is stuff from natural medicine and eastern medicine philosophies. 1) it balances the ph levels in your digestive tract and neutralises acidity - the western diet is very acidic while our bodies are alkaline (not sure why this matters as I haven't read/heard about it much) 2)…
  • Easter long weekend always means beach camping for me so food will probably consist of sausages on bread, lamb chops and whatever else can be cooked on a small gas fire. I'll bring some fruit along for myself and some cereal, biscuits for the boy and of course a few bottles of wine and lots of chocolate. There won't be any…
  • Two words - Zyrtec and Loratadine (Claratyne). Best non drowsy allergy relief ever and available over the counter.
  • Taking a wild guess here but is he by any chance Italian? He sounds like a total narcissist - everything is about him. He also sounds very immature and misogynistic as well. I can't imagine what it will be like once the baby arrives - especially if it's a girl. From what you have said he is pretty keen on a boy and doesn't…
