VeganHippo

Hi thank you so much for your concern and your helpful reply :) I've had IBS for as long as I can remember and I have seen the doctor on several occassions in the past but nothing seemed to have worked. In the end I simply gave up and now I just live with it. I have been a vegan for 4 and a half years. Oh and I love nuts…

I'm definitely going to look into that tonight. Your help is much appreciated :)

Thank you :) and thank you to everyone else who responded.

Hi thank you for pointing that out. My calorie intake is so inconsistent because I do a lot binge eating. For example today i ate 3 packs of walkers crisps!! And as a vegan who doesn't cook for herself, I find it really difficult to get protein. Most of my protein comes from bread unfortunately.

Thank you :) you have certainly convinced me. Now if only I can find a program that's not too difficult for a complete beginner.

Oh thank you for working that out for me. That amount seems like a lot. I actually ate 1450 calories yesterday and I felt extremely full and bloated. I had to go to the gym twice yesterday and burned around 800 calories but I still felt full and generally awful.

I'm nearly 25 years old. I weigh 47kg which is around 103 pounds. Oh and my height is 5'2 (157cm)

Do you mean I need to increase my deficit by reducing my calorie intake? Or do you mean too low as in too high and I need to eat more? Sorry I'm confused as I seem to be getting mixed responses. Thank you for your help.

Oh wow I just noticed your picture. I'd love to have a stomach like yours.

Whierd, thank you for your helpful replies. It certainly makes sense that weight lifting alone doesn't burn fat. However because I'm already eating at a deficit, I thought it would help tone my body.

Thank you :) I was actually worried for a second.

That's not what people in the other thread said. I'm confused now :( I'm on a 1000 calorie limit and I do cardio 5 days a week. But I was thinking to start weight lifting and increasing my limit to 1200 calories.

Well you won't know unless you go. You seriously need to visit the doctor. You shouldn't be having these problems at such a young age.

Oh thank you. This looks easy enough. I'll try it tonight :)

Hi yes I suffer from IBS but I also have a lot of fat on my stomach. Thank you for your advice :) xx

Mine was yesterday when I ran for 15 minutes at 10mph on the treadmill :-/

Oh you didn't miss the vegan part. I changed my username lol

Thank you Rianne. Wow I'm definitely going to start lifting as of today :) As for workout dvds, I've tried numerous including Jillian Michaels, however I'm so useless i can't even perform basic technique like push-ups. I've also tried Insanity and that was super hard and I only lasted 10 minutes. I've added you as a…

Thank you for your advice everyone. I'm too weak to lift weights. I've actually tried on numerous occasions but I think I might not have the will power to try harder. My workout sessions are cardio based. I know darling but I just can't go on looking pregnant :( If you look at my diary, I've gone over my daily limit of…

Thank you :)

I'm in the exact same boat as OP. I'm a vegan and I can never eat high protein food other than bread, which is sadly high in carbs too.

Hi thank you for your advice. I'm 5'2 so I guess I'm pretty short and yet I still feel hungry all the time. As for eating eggs, unfortunately I can't as I'm a vegan. Thank you once again :)

Thank you for your advice everyone. I waited until after midnight but now the craving has gone. Tomorrow's another day :) Oh and for those asking why I'm on 1000 calories, I weigh 47kg and I'm 5'2. Now I know you must be thinking that's not overweight. The problem with my body is that almost 80% of my body fat is around…
