I made this roasted capsicum sauce that is incredibly low in calories and has no salt. I think it is called Red Kosai and is African or something. Recipe: Roast 1 or more red capsicums whole in a hot oven until the skin blisters and goes black in places. Take out of the oven and put in a zip lock bag for a few minutes.…

Stir through a smoothie. Make crackers by adding a bit of water and seasoning, letting it 'gel' then spreading on some baking paper and dehydrating in a very low oven or dehydrator. LOVE it mixed into my oatmeal Add it to your bread dough before baking mix juice into it, letting it gel and eating it like that. Mixing it…

I just made myself some organic skim yoghurt tonight actually! I usually make Easyo which just uses a packet mix. But didn't want to shell out $5 for their organic version (i've now switched to organic as much as possible). So just bought some organic milk, a tub or organic yoghurt to use as a starter and am trying the…

well for one thing the HRM manufacturers don't really explain what i is that their numbers really mean. it took some serious investigating to find out. On other websites, and where i found people had actually had to phone up the manufacturers to find out. And secondly there is nothing saying that only short high intensity…

Slimpasta is Australian. I you are in the US look up Miracle Noodles instead.

I don't see any problem with logging housework as exercise. HOWEVER as it will be probably a fairly low energy exercise (with no afterburn effect) and might be longer than an hour or so depending on what you do. If you do not subtract from your HRM reading (assuming you are using a HRM which i think would be the only…

I think you should be eating whatever your fitbit says as it knows what your activity level is quite accurately. You must have selected sedentary in MFP to get 1200 cals, but your fitbit is telling you, you are actually a little more active than that and need to eat more on the days you are more active. Isn't that the…

It's natural fruit sugar so you don't really need to worry, especially as the incorporation of the green veggie part of green smoothies (usually spinach) actually slows down your absorption of the sugars in the fruit. In essence it makes your smoothie lower GI which means longer lasting energy and fullness just like having…

i made this recipe before. It is not exactly healthy though. It has a very high fat content from all the cheese (even if you do use light)! I think it was probably invented by someone one an akins style diet who wanted to avoid carbs at all cost. Better off using a flat bread as a pizza base.

My goodness. I would go insane if i could only spend $50 a month on food and had to just eat the stuff on your list! Is there anyway that you can re-balance your budget so you are spending less on other things and then have more money for food. Or get another part time job or something. Anything to just make your life a…

I reckon there are almost no calories (maybe one or two at most) in any of their teas. Just record it as generic black or green tea or whatever it is you are drinking. T2 is awesome isn't it!

Miracle noodles or angel hair slim pasta make great rice noodle substitutes especially in things like Pho (Vietnamese Noodle Soup). I just buy the Pho stock cubes from an asian grocery store (or you can make your own soup base using beef stock, cinnamon, star anise, garlic and soy sauce) and have it with the miracle…

Sorry but that isn't actually true. The study of the bones of paleolithic peoples shows they were riddled with diseased caused by nutrient deficiencies. Things like iron deficiency, rickets etc. These are things you see today mainly in countries with famines such as Africa. Modern medicine would simply prescribe a…

The Australian Scientific Council this year rated the blood type diet as one of the worst there is along with lemon juice cleansing detox. So definite fiction.

Hi I'm from Roxby Downs, SA Any Aussie girls feel free to add me. Sorry guys but I only have female friends on here.

Hi, I find this paleo trend a bit strange to be honest. From what i've read it seems like the belief behind it was that paleolithic peoples were healthy people and that they somehow naturally ate what was a diet designed for their (and our) bodies. Now as an archaeologist, i know these things are false. Paleolithic peoples…

I also have this one and i find it great.

Make Burgers. 1 pound ground beef 1 egg 1 cup bread crumbs Any herbs+ spices you want Make into 5 patties, cover in plastic wrap and put in fridge for half an hour before cooking.

i sometimes buy these marinated chicken skewers from the grocery store. Cook up a whole heap of them and wrap them individually in foil and put them in fridge. If i'm hungry at morning or afternoon tea i'll just have one of them cold. Really filling, full of protein and depending on which ones you get they are usually…

Raisin toast with butter. I just don't buy it anymore except if i'm at a cafe and then forced to only have the one or two slices they are serving.

i have oatmeal made with water for breakfast mixed in with whatever i feel like at the time. I also mix in a scoop of protein powder which makes it creamy and seem like it has milk but doesn't. So easy to vary the add-ins that have this almost every day for breakkie. Add in examples (often in combination): Spices such as…

I agree that this should be just part of your activity level. So if you do a lot of cleaning then maybe have a medium activity level and not log it as exercise. An exception i make though is for unusually strenuous occasional things. Such as right am helping to renovate a house and landscape the garden. I have an…

By the way don't be scared of the pastry. I just ate 1/4 of the whole pie and it only added up to 195 calories!

Great work! By the way i think the brown hair really suits you!

Give it a go. I find in actual competitions (even if they are just fun runs) i can pull out some fitness that i didn't know existed before and i certainly didn't train for. I'm completely stuffed though the next day and can usually hardly move. But go for it! i reckon you can probably do it. Just make sure you carb up the…

I make oven roasted chips with them, Just spray them lightly with an olive oil spray before putting in a hot oven for about 20 minutes and then usually under the grill for a bit after to crisp up. Then i usually making a dipping sauce with low fat mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce and then sprinkle them with a little salt and…

No time to check if someone has already written this. But my HRM (a Suunto) asks you to put in your resting heart rate. So presumably if my resting HR was 60 and i did some exercise that got it up to 140 it would burn more calories than if my resting heart rate was 110 and it went to the same 140 as i'm working harder. So…

i love them. i have to order them on the internet as there is only 1 grocery store here and it doesn't stock them. By the way they aren't actually zero calories. American law allows companies to say they are zero calories if they are under a certain amount. In Australia they have to use different packaging as they have to…
