you should eat a complex carb half and hour to one hour before workout (porridge is good, or a slice of seeded wholemeal toast with coconut butter), I take CLA and L-glutamine before a workout and again after with Whey Protein shake and another Amino Acid tab.

Totally! I never take mine off except for showers, bath and washing up as my first one didn't like being submerged in water. The community on Fitbit is great, daily or weekly challenges really get you going! Get one!

Floradix or Floravital is an easily absorbed way to get iron. If you take in extra calcium you need to counteract with magnesium as an imbalance is very bad for your general wellbeing.

Google the area you want to work (chest, shoulder, back, legs) before your gym session and watch videos on how to execute properly and put a routine together for each muscle group. Change the routine regularly with keeping squats, deadlifts and bench presses as a staple. Opt for muscle failure sets a few times a week with…

so many posts on here I relate to.....thanks for starting this, makes me feel I'm not the only one who isn't iron willed ALL of the time!

you have done amazing! Well done to you, be proud!!

Yes, sure you can do that. You can't log your banked calories on fitness pal, but if you overeat one day after having "saved" calories for a few days previously it will still balance out in your overall weekly calorie report. Don't be under eating regularly though, metabolism and all that!

Absolutely fantastic! You look so happy and amazing! Big big WELL DONE!!

Up your calories, lose the weight a little slower but NEVER feel guilty about eating any food!!!

I have read the book by Dr. Peter J D'Adamo and I picked out the bits that suited me and fit in with my diet and day. Like drink the teas best for your type instead of worst for your type. The bloodgroup diet is more about preventing disease and keeping everything flowing smoothly. It's about different types having…

Take a look at some recent photos - it worked for me, started January 6th!

Hi, Firstly, stretch after your workout not before or during. It has no benefit to stretch before, it actually weakens muscle fibres and you are not as strong. Secondly, because you are not used to exercise your muscles will be storing water. It is perfectly normal to gain weight after new workouts for a while. Once your…

Your metabolism is slowing down because you are not giving you body enough fuel. Your body is hanging on to it's existing fat stores hard out of fear you won't feed it. Your net calories should reach your goal (i.e. 1200). You should always eat back half or all your exercise calories as your muscles need the fuel after…

Had a look at your last 3 or 4 diaries and there are a lot of saturated fats in your diet. I think you can eat much healthier, try to ditch the pre-packed, pre-cooked stuff and try some fresh meat protein with rice, salads, vegetables. Pasta is easy to cook if you are craving those carbs!

1500 metres on the rowing machine will warm you up nicely!

Echinacea (the quality stuff), cod liver oil and warm lemon and honey water does it for me. In large doses.....

I saw a documentary about this way of exercising and it works for around 40 % of people but not for others. You can't know if it works for you or not until you try it for at least a month. I can't remember the reason for this now but am sure if you googled about it it will come up.

maybe try "non-nitrate, non-nitrite" proteins......egg, fresh meat (not cured like ham, bacon), nuts, yoghurts? If you still feel nauseous then at least you have cut out that possibility....hope it works!
