My local leisure centre ran an aqua-aerobics class specially designed for pregnant women (and a post-natal version too). It was rather nice to be surrounded with other bumps in the pool and even nicer to meet the babies at the postnatal class. Swimming is normally quite nice when you get to the heavy stage although it is…

Very much +1

You'll have to go a long way before you persuade me that doing lifting only will be just as good as lifting + cardio to make sure I am not quite as out of breath and my heart won't take quite as long going back to a normal rate the next time I have to run for 20 minutes to make sure I don't miss my train because a I left…

Maybe I am missing something there. I see the whole cardio is useless mantra all over this forum so I am a bit puzzled about it. Unless you are doing it purely for looks and dismissing the improving your health part of exercise why do some of you set out to do no cardio? Your heart is a muscle that needs training too, so…

When I first read the OP , especially the part about the advertiser claiming nothing was more American I thought it was quite amusing that what was declared American was a food which literally translated means "from Frankfurt" ie Germany. Then I though about it a little more and though it was fitting as a reminder that…

Cadbury's chocolate fingers - what do you mean a whole box isn't a portion? Soreen malt loaf - what do you mean a whole loaf isn't a portion? No point buying them and hope for restraint. I miss them but until I figured out how to stop at 1 slice/a few fingers it's just not worth having the temptation around (I know they…

I am not strictly on 1200 in so far as I eat most of my exercise calories and some days I go over but I usually try to break meals down as roughly 300 calories for breakfast, 300 for lunch a piece of fruit in the afternoon a tea throughout the day and the balance for dinner so I can have the same as everybody at home, just…

It doesn't slow it as much as getting pregnant does.

25 pounds is lighter than my 2 year old. So all along mums across the world have been doing "heavy" lifting daily and didn't even know it, how amusing.

If the free day makes you feel like crap, why do you even have it?

I was going to add that I am not convinced that making your own yoghurt is any cheaper than buying it. I can buy Turkish/Greek style plain yoghurt for £1.70 a kg pot and as low as £1.39 a kg when it's on offer. By the time I buy milk + add the cost of electricity to keep it at the correct temperature + discount the batches…

Easiest cheese to make is paneer. You heat up the milk and when it reaches boiling point you add a bit of lemon juice. Strain the curds in a bit of muslin cloth. Press and cube - although you can also crumble it an mix with a bit of rose water and honey and sprinkle pistachios on top. If you go the rennet route the results…

Make sure you press it first. Wrap it in paper towels then put some weight on it and leave it for 15 minutes or so. That makes it more spongey (in a good way) and it makes it absorb flavours and keep its shape better. I usually cube it and but it in a plastic container with a bit of cornflour and some seasoning and shake…

Let me guess you only eat low GI foods so high GI foods are out of bounds which would mean cutting out a whole load of calorie dense foods like ice creams, chocolate sweets, pies, chips/fries, pizza etc. <sarcasm> gee, what a novel approach to weight loss, I must go and make somebody richer an buy the book straight away…

You could have a small assortment of nice cheese.

Whatever the reason for the 1000 cal eating plan, suggesting it and not giving meal suggestions that allow the patient to follow it without deficiency makes them a bad doctor.

Is your diary for today accurate? If it is you are hungry because you are not eating.

exercise calories are the tastiest.

How do you know if you don't measure what you eat?

After reading the <strike> powerful data and research based </strike> arguments presented by the anti milk posters on this thread I went and made a fish pie for dinner. The fish was in a milk based sauce and the mash on top was made with milk and butter and I gratin-ed the top with the help of a grated chunk of mature…

I have a very sedentary job so that's what I put my setting to. I log my walk between work and the station because sometimes it's 40 minutes walk a day which is not built into my week-ends and I don't always walk it (if I've left the office too late to catch my train I'll take the bus instead). That way I am reminded that…
