How would a blend of exotic plants and nutrients do anything for weight loss? There are some medications that help some people - but they have a mechanism by which they do so - eg reduce appetite, reduce fat absorption, increase renal glucose output etc NOTE - I'm not saying these are worth buying either - just that they…

Thanks for the suggestion tiptoe. It talks about people being in isolation, which I am not - but I guess same applies for people who cannot go work because their work place is one of the places close contacts cannot go to It says, among other things: You must also meet both of the following requirements to be eligible:…

Where would be the most enjoyable place to go?

My husband has Covid now. Feeling pretty sick and miserable but ok at home. He is now in isolation for 7 days. Close contacts don't have to isolate here now so I can go out, just have to wear a mask in indoor public places and cant go to tier 1 or 2 health care settings unless emergency. Which means I cant go to work for a…

Possibly wax blockage. That can cause temporary tinnitus-like symptoms in some people. Easily diagnosed by someone with an auriscope, once you get to see a doctor or nurse.

Would you believe I am just this very minute back home from getting my hair cut and coloured?

Not for me. I find I do better eating smallish amounts spread throughout the day

is it a slumber party?

The above is not a fact. some people develop type 2 diabetes despite healthy eating and good weight control and No you do not cure type 2 diabetes - you can sometimes get it under control without medication, and losing weight helps your chances of that. But it is controlled, not cured. I hate to break it to you but your…

Anyone who lost weight did so by the calorie deficit diet - which is any way of eating which creates a calorie deficit. Lots of recomendations - read through the stickied threads to find them.

Coffee is hunger neutral for me - it doesn't curb hunger, it doesn't make me hungry. But everyone is different, and we all have individual triggers- you know what works or doesn't work for you. And as an aside - yes, losing weight will certainly help with sleep apnoea issues.

You are a 19 yr old male and you have a BMI of 22. Any weight loss should be slow - if indeed you should be trying to lose weight at all. Probably not. And totally forget crash diets.

Did you know the term 'iced coffee' means a very different thing in Australia to US? (true story) that in US it means just plain coffee with ice cubes, in Australia it means a milky concoction, often with added cream and ice cream? isnt that an interesting piece of trivia for today?

NO. yes, perhaps check that your calorie calculation is correct- 2170 seems high for weight loss to me but it depends on your current, height, weight, gender, age. Could you share those stats so we can get an idea if your calorie allowance is in the right ball park? But no point just randomly dropping to 1500 and no reason…

I don't think anything much gets rid of cellulite. I think better to accept it is a natural harmless thing and do nothing. Which I recognise is hypercritical of me since I go to great lengths to hide something else which is natural and harmless ( grey hair)

Would you like to know it is a beautiful mild sunny autumn day down here?

I think she has done some time travel through stones. I watched a series called Outlander and people travelled to another century that way , not just a few decades prior Perhaps FFF only went a few decades because she is a beginner to time travel. Maybe this is why there are chains around the stones at Stonehenge? to…

Would you believe, unlike every other participant in this thread B) , I am not really into trying coffees?

I do not log cooking spray or spices/herbs. I dont deep fry anything so the amount of spray oil I use is minimal - and these come under things not worth the bother for me. although I get the point about logging them for recipe purposes

Did you really think I would expect ristretto coffee, even though I havent heard of it, to taste like risotto? How silly do you think I am?

If you hadn't heard of ristretto, might you read that as risotto latte and think what on earth??? :o Asking for a friend ;)

Doesnt this thread have a recurring theme - All roads lead to Rome? except all roads lead to coffee?

Placebo effect. Or at best effect of hydration from drinking the water itself. I have given B12 injections to people with actual B12 deficiency - they dont have an instant effect but improve symptoms over time. I highly doubt the amount of oral vitamin B in the supplement is even enough to do that. If you like it and it…

very interesting BarbaraHelen - mostly in Australia we use same terms as UK - but we call what you are describing as peppers as capsicums so while you have peppers and chillies, we have capsicums and chillies. neither of which have 500 carbs each. ;)

In Australia capsicums are not spicy hot. Capsicums (bell peppers?) and chilli's (hot peppers?) are not the same thing.

or write it on the bottom in permanant texta. Not sure how that would work for saucepans which go onto direct heat - but works well for the slow cooker

Bell peppers - what we elsewhere call capsicums, right? No way they are 510 carbs each :o My Australian nutrition info says 4.25 carbs per average size capsicum. I guess sizes vary, perhaps your average size ones are slightly bigger and it was supposed to be 5.10

cmriverside, cant you untick the little flag thing next to the title of the thread - the one that sets it to notifications. Wont it then stop notifying you?

why wont you be wearing sunscreen?

The only way to hydrate yourself is to drink more fluids. If you are genuinely not urinating despite drinking- like you have a urinary tract obstruction or something - you would have a hugely full bladder and be in extreme abdominal discomfort A doctor could run some basic blood tests to assess your kidney function - but…
