do some yoga afterwards, if you've never done it before, go to a few classes, get the gist then youtube yoga for runners. don't do it straight from youtube as you need to make sure your posture is correct and you're not doing more damage than good. I never thought i'd get into yoga (i don't do the chanting guff) but it's…

I'm not a fan of eggs I only eat them scrambled (usually with either cinnamon or hot sauce) or in cake form.

Don't get discouraged. You might not seem to be losing flab but probably are. I always find the consistency of my flab gets more watery and begins to sag (generally looks more horrific than it did) and i get more orange-peel legs as i lose fat. Keep an eye on where the fat is sitting on you, and how it feels (how more…

Hi, you could be overdoing it. Have a weeks rest and do something else if you can, cycling, swimming, skating, anything that moves the ankle but doesn't put too much stress on it. Then set yourself back a week or 2 on the training schedule rather than start where you left off. Make sure you are warming up adequately before…

Simple answer is yes. You can gain muscle with bodyweight exercises. As gyms are out, have you considered a personal trainer or sports clubs like boxing, martial arts, triathlon clubs etc?

Elphie He might not be American, in which case he may not have a Paediatrician. Brits for instance generally don't have a paediatrician, unless they've had or have a serious/recurring medical condition. We have GPs who would generally be a complete waste of time for this sort of thing. Hussein, tell your mate that eating…

I'm not diabetic or anything, but do not react well to carbs - bread baby! Look up 'Ugly beans', a chip/fries substitute, basically whole green beans, bit of salt and garlic and voila chips. (Not sure if your British or not so chips are the same as fries) Total life saver for me. Also youtube/google - cauliflower rice,…

Dahlielah, i've also been told that too by stepmum and an aunt, cos my 'face' is too gaunt. Sorry girls but i have the family facial structure and it's not that flattering on girls, so I either stay podgy or i have a gaunt-guyish face. I know which i can put up with more! Try not to let it get to you, however your mum…

Hey, go see a chiropractor if you can afford it. You might not actually have bad knees! I have a 'bad knee' stemming from a 'bad' back (tight lower back muscles and poor core strength and low glute activation). worth a try.

ROLLER DERBY do it!!! it's awesome, you don't even need to know how to skate (most clubs will take in non-skaters and teach you from scratch).

nana pancakes... you know the ones: 1 [ba]nana and 2 eggs (muchos honey and lime juice)... post run-karate-run-yoga can't beat it.

Ask your neighbours to keep the next 'present' their cat brings in for them (dead of course, not the lives ones and assuming you don't have a cat). Whoever complains that's in the fridge.. that's your culprit. Just make sure it's in a sealed tupperware or lockbag and there won't be any contamination for H&S to worry about.…

Pieter you need to read up on how to enter things (you might have to google it), this isn't the most intuitive site to use it took me ages to figure it out. I've not used this in ages but i think the answer to what your asking is Food/Database... type in the food you have eaten there, if it doesn't come up in a list of…

i like your thinking Jacqueline. I refer to birthdays as Cake day, because it's more fun that way, and it reminds the birthday person that i like cake and to make sure to bring some to work for me. Further to this, when i am ill i demand a 'celebration' cake to cheer me up (traditional british birthday cake is my fave,…

I have you all beat http://www.rac.co.uk/buying-a-car/car-reviews/kia/picanto/9555. 3Cyl:1L is where it's at people!

I love a small car... next one needs to have knickers though... maybe an abarth shaped…

Ah, British, so pie day doesn't exist. :( sad times. On the plus side, I do get to eat pie any day i please and don't need to wait til pie day, just like pancake day, not religious so no need to eat this just on shrove Tuesday. ;)

Go see a chiropractor, if you have an imbalance in your hips or back that could be affecting your knee. I have very tight hip muscles pulling my hips out of alignment with my spine (i apparently stand with my *kitten* out, who knew). Exercising for years without knowing what was wrong (2 physios only looked at my knee,…

that sounds horrible :( hope it dissipates soon. if you like milkshakes, definately try having protein shakes to boost your intake, it won't seem like you're eating and will keep you hydrated also. even normal milkshakes from McD's will help up your calories if you're just worried about eating enough calories to keep your…

I find a low carb regime is perfect for me, and it's completely sustainable, and not more expensive than buying 'normal' food. The carbs i do eat come from veg mostly and some fruit (not a fan of fruit myself i only eat apples, bananas and occasionally berries). I stay away from (as much as possible but i do indulge once…

nothing unless i'm hungry... then i can eat more t'morn wooohoo!

i just eat stuff that doesn't need extensive making or heating i.e. bananas, yoghurt, protein shakes etc brekkie might be the most important meal of the day, but i can't eat within an hour of getting up so anything i eat needs to be eaten at my desk. microwave at work and expensive canteen means lunch needs to be stuff…

depends on how you made it and what with (i.e. from scratch or with packet rubbish) but i'd use an oven instead, microwaves make food taste disgusting imho. Haven't had one in my house for 7 years, and i don't miss it. i always mix my sauce with whatever on the hob for a min or so before putting it in the oven so that it's…

river cottage veg by hugh fearnly-whittingstal he does great stuff that you can add meat to if you want. I'm not a vegetarian but most of his stuff doesn't need meat added to it. if your in the UK the Abel and Cole cook books are also brilliant (veg home delivery service) jamie olivers 30 minute meals also have a lot of…

try bodypump, the instructor will run through what you'll be doing and posture before class if you let him/her know you're new. and you can see how he/she stands during the class and you just copy them. if you do do it and you've never done it before, stay to the smallest weights on the bar DO NOT CHANGE weight!!! at…

if you're not used to it and you're sore already, you're pushing too hard. YOu should feel tight and stiff then next day or two, but not actually sore. Try to ease back into it, and make sure you rest a day in between, do say 2 days of moderate exercise and 1 of intense and 1 of easy (the day after your intense to stretch…

i read it and was quite impressed so tried cutting out wheat based anything (other than sauces as i'm not allergic). It sorted out quite a bit of the urticaria i get (skin allergies), and my belly reduced dramatically. however, i wasn't substituting with other grains at all. I cut out bread and it's ilk completely, pretty…
