Hello! I've just requested you as a friend as would love to know what you have and what your calorie allowance is. I'm better off not restricting myself to just "diet" food so would be nice to have some advice. thank you :) xxx

Here you go: http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/health/373665/Caveman-fasting-diet-may-leave-women-diabetic Not sure how accurate/true it is of course...but it did make me think! xxx

I've just heard that it can make your periods irregular and even read that it can cause your ovaries to shrink!!! xxx

Thank you :) Do you have any hormonal disturbances from doing it? That is my main worry! xxx

Thank you everyone :) xxx

Yes i think i would struggle with 5:2 too if honest. Sorry to be too personal but have you found 16:8 has affected your hormones at all? That is my main worry! xxx

Thank you everyone. xxx

Anyone?!

Thank you...guess it will just take a bit of time to get back into the swing of things xxx

Thank you all. I think i need to just stop over thinking it all - make sure my calories are lower (i.e. not pigging out every day) and stop overanalysing food - e.g. i keep worrying about eating foods that are not entirely "clean" when really i'm guessing it doesnt matter too much - it's more about calories! xxx

Thank you all for your advice. I have logged my day today - just seems i'm always going so over on my carbs. I find it hard to cut them down if honest but know for weight loss i'm going to have to! xxx

Haha thanks everyone - yep my ticker is old! Needs updating...it's 28 pounds to lose. It's going to be a tough one! xxx

Thank you all. I need to sort myself out and stop messing around and overthinking stuff...and seriously stay away from the choccie biscuits!!! Not doing me any good at all! xxx

Get off your high horse love - these forums are meant for asking questions!! Thank you everyone else for your input xxx

Thank you all SO much for all your really helpful advice :) I have started to look at this as a change of lifestyle now rather than "diet" and stopped panicking so much about not eating "clean" all the time!! I'm just trying to eat healthy and exercise...it may take a little longer to get the weight off but hopefully it…

WOW!! Thank you all soooo much for all the amazing advice!!! Really do appreciate it! I think things will be easier when we have our own kitchen to prepare food in and can actually do a weekly grocery shop!! Our main problem is knowing when to eat after work....if we eat before the gym then it is not long enough for our…

I did try to prepare my lunches this week...chicken, wholemeal pasta, pesto and broccoli & tomatoes. It just tasted so dry and horrible though :(

Geeez people are really harsh on here!!! No need at all...

Hahaha thanks hun...I've just facebooked you! xxx

Thank you!! Yep i have the 30 day shred and i'm doing that along with exercise classes at the moment (body combat). So hoping i will get at least near to my goal then will carry on after holiday :) xxx

I already have the powder at home so it is not an additional cost!

The idea is that you make smoothies...so mix the protein powder with fruit/veg, almond milk, greek yogurt. To make them the calories of a small meal.

Hahahaha I assure you I am not advertising in the slightest....I came on here asking for advice!

I've already lost a fair amount. This is just the final push before my holiday.

Hi :) Well i've already got the shake...it wasn't too expensive really but just don't know whether to stick to clean eating or replace two meals like this one says to. Looking for the fastest results really given i only have 3 weeks left xxx

Bump :)

Thanks all for your input....i think a shake for breakfast isn't a bad thing but think i will lay of replacing 2 meals a day with them. Apart from today as i've planned my day out to include one for breakfast and one for dinner :) xxx

Great - thank you :) I'm not going to use it every single day but it's another option and they taste good too which helps! xxx

Great - thank you :) Oh yes definitely a well balanced diet with one main meal, 2 shakes and snacks too. Thanks :) xxx
