An anti-inflammatory diet is just as, if not more, about what you don't eat as what you do. Food with anti-inflammatory properties won't do anything to offset the damage from you eating food that is inflammatory to you. Some people find they need to avoid nightshades, of which tomatoes and peppers are culprits, others need…

@ashleycarole86 steps for this week, still a bit hit and miss! M - 12092 T - 17330 W - 9396 plus 50 minutes taekwondo T - 14616 F - 5411 S - 6220 S - 5205 but I wasn't wearing my watch, so this was only what my phone picked up when I had it on me, also had an hour's swim.

Thanks all! It looks like I'm on the right path, somewhat, and it's just going to take patience and practice. I never thought I'd be struggling to relax, of all things! I am loving the yoga, I find it so refreshing. I'm only doing short morning flows at the moment, so I'm going to keep working up to longer ones.

It's because the carbs on labels in the UK are already net. American labels show total carbs including fibre, then the fibre number as a sub-entry, and so American users subtract the fibre to get net carbs UK labels, like Australian labels, list carbs and fibre separately, so the carbs listed are already net.

The fittest, most badass woman I know was a massive crossfit junkie about 9 years ago, and now she has PT qualifications and tells anyone who will listen that it is dangerous, and a terrible thing to do to your body....

That's your steps for the last month. I've highlighted yellow where it says steps, and green there it says a month. If you tap where it says steps, you will be able to choose other options, like weight, calories, and measurements, and if you tap where it says 1 month, you will be able to choose other periods of time to…

Having read up a little on it (here's a decent write up - https://relentlessforwardcommotion.com/total-body-enhancement-at-planet-fitness-a-review/), I would not be tracking it as anything like exercise and maybe only seeing it as an additional self care routine with some potential benefits in recovering from actual…

OK, I'm pulling my head in and getting back on track today. I've not blown my calories too badly the last few days, but it's not about the numbers, it's about the mindset, and my mindset has been far too much in the "just eat it, what difference does it make" place. I know I'm really off track when I start eating things I…

I was running forums in 2004 that had the ability to put a limit on the number of new thread a user could create in a certain time period. I cannot understand why Vanilla doesn't have/utilise this feature.

Sorry to disappoint, but the response you got is the copy and paste response to every suggestion made in this section going back years. Even the suggestions which are brought up over, and over again. One suggestion was made again the other day which is made all the time (a search function for Recipe Discovery) and I was…

I am not deliberately eating low carb, but they're not my favourite (I'm happy without pasta, rice, bread, not majorly fond of potatoes - my carbs of choice are highly processed sugars which I am staying right away from), and so I adjusted my macros to 40% carb, 30% protein and 30% fat because protein and fat makes me full…

It's a gimmick basic math equation, based on a very simple calculation, meant to be motivating. Basically it looks at what it calculates your maintenance to be, then subtracts your net calories (day's intake - output), then multiplies that by the 35 days, and divides by 3500 (as the average human needs to have a deficit of…

I had a lot of weight to lose (still have a fair bit to lose) and I'll be honest - I didn't 'take advantage' of that higher allowance, because the idea of having to decrease how much I ate as I lost weight was a bit depressing. I didn't cut super low, but I have been eating around 1400 a day (plus one, maybe 2 days a week…

Maintenance is a range, not a targeted number. It sounds like you're still eating in that range. Are you accurately weighing and measuring your food? Tracking everything? In 38 days, I'm not surprised that you're not seeing or feeling changes in clothes or by sight, it's only been 38 days, and from what you've said you…

Hi Tricia, I am counting my calories, not excluding anything but prioritising lots of veg, lean meats and whole foods, still having a chocolate treat every day, and have upped my exercise (lots of walking, and a couple of exercise classes a week). I'm 61lbs down since August.

What's a little bit of a deficit? Are you weighing and measuring your food? Checking your diary entries? All calorie measurements, those in food, in exercise burns, that we use each day, are estimates, approximations. It doesn't take much of a variation to eat away a small deficit.

@Gidgitgoescrzy I'm in South Australia! We're having a glorious summer, it's not been crazy hot (where I am it's not unusual to have multiple days of 107F+ in a row) but we've had a couple of weeks of it being around 95, so the pool is in, the hikes are out. Today is lovely and cool (around 70F) so I'm going to hike after…

PW: 94.8 CW: 94.1 Pretty happy with this! Life's still been disrupted with the little fella, but I'm getting my routine back and have adjusted my eating to suit my change in awake hours. I may or may not have found the last box of left over Christmas chocolates, and they may or may not be with us any longer, but at least…

There's not a huge amount of us Aussies here, hello from down southward!

Not a feature, sadly. A friend can go to your diary (if your settings allow) and copy the entry for the recipe from your diary to theirs, but it won't have the details of the recipe. What you could do is have them do that so that their diary has the entry, and then screencap them the recipe itself and email/message it over?

The activity level question is meant for your standard daily level not including purposeful exercise. So I am a desk worker, but I walk 15000 steps a day as exercise, do yoga daily, and go to various classes 3-4 times a week. I have mine set at sedentary, and let those exercises be added back as extra calories, because if…

I love your name!!

@lauren_989 I hope you recover swiftly! Take it easy! @MaddawgMadsen I'm glad you got there with your mom, it's not easy but so necessary. Well, the 2 weeks after the holidays ended seemed to be looking up, but things have crashed and burned again here, and this time I have a 4 legged maniac to deal with lol. Ah well, half…

For only 6 easy payments, and a set of free steak knives?

Wbhen I run into an issue like this, I look it up on the USDA - https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/ and then find an entry that matches that info.

This is very much me, and I am now wondering if the reactions to, and affect of, the statement actually shows the reader more about themselves than anything. Maybe people who do see every learning experience, every task outside their everyday bubble as a trial and a battle will take something from the statement, where…

I've stuffed them with ricotta and battered and fried them, they're tasty but that's mostly the cheese - the blossoms themselves are pretty flavourless, it's more for looks. They're really pretty and fun to make!

@ashleycarole86 oh no!! Feel better, that's the worst!!
