I really hate when people say they don't log tea, coffee and other drinks. It still has a nutritional value!! I mean, 2-3 coffees a day can easily be upwards of 150 extra calories!

Yes!!! They look so delicate and pretty :)

If your referring to me I never meant to seem condecending, I just know how it is to be misinformed about food and dieting then getting frustrated about why I'm not losing weight. Just trying to help out, that's all. And I'm actually studying nutrition, haha :)

You need more wholegrains rather than protein. Your body can extract glucose from carbs, not protein. Try eating more whole grain pasta, brown rice or quinoa for dinner to sustain you for longer. Apple juice will only spike your blood sugar more, that stuff is pretty much liquid sugar. Maybe it would be worth going to the…

Awesome! Glad I'm not the only one into pole fitness ;)

Yes you should have carbs for breakfast, but wholegrain, low GI carbs. Oats re low GI, but packet stuff is no where near as good as real oats without sugary flavouring. Artifical sweetners aren't that much better than real sugar anyway. And yes, fructose is better for you than sucrose, but it is still a lot of sugar to be…

Find out your triggers. Do you crave sweet things at a certain time of day? This could mean you're not eating properly through out the day, and you need more low GI, wholegrains and protein. When you're stressed/bored? Break the habit of eating for comfort with something else. Or else just don't buy the unhealthy things,…

Too bad this is really high GI and high sugar.Tasty, but a terrible breakfast. Breakfast should ideally be full of whole grains, protein and nutrients to keep you feeling full for longer, this recipe will spike your blood sugar and you'll crash sooner and harder.

When I make a stir fry I serve it over bean sprouts instead of noodles or rice. Great texture and good for cutting though the flavour of the sauce.

1/4 cup oats vanilla protein powder 1 banana skim milk greek yoghurt cinnamon (optional) peanut butter (optional, to taste) Throw it all in the blender for a great pre-work out shake. Or cook oats on the stove, when they're almost done, mix in: one (or half) sliced banana 1 tbls black chia seeds 1 heaped spoon peanut…

1 sliced frozen banana 2 tablespoons Greek yoghurt 3/4 cup skim milk (or however much milk you like) dash of cinnamon 1 teaspoon honey (optional) icecubes More like a smoothie, but super healthy. And what do you mean 'sugar free packages?'

100g Greek yoghurt 25g toasted museli a sprinkle of cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon honey fresh berries (optional) It's about 150cal without the fruit, and delicious!

Whenever you feel tired, just make sure you eat a serving of protein around half an hour after a workout to ensure muscle recovery is at it's optimum. Eggs, lean skinless chicken breast, good quality lean steak, tofu, beans and lentils or a protein shake (low or no sugar, or course) should do the trick.

If your eating a serve of protein with each meal, you shouldn't feel like munching so much. And negative calorie foods are a myth. You could go for all the previously mentioned foods, which are pretty much high water content fruits and veges, which are a healthy option. Just watch the fructose content of some fruits;…

You can take all the vitamins and supplements in the world, but nothing beats veggies! Most meal replacement shakes just create a jelly hunk in you that tricks your body into thinking it's full because your stomach can't digest it. and even the onces with nutrients can't give you everything. It's just a matter of finding…
