I Love lifting, Been doing so for over 2 years now, feel free to add me, I maintain a super healthy diet- although my calories may seem a little scary at first but well I need them to maintain the lifestyle I live - My diary is open for viewing- and although I may not always log, i tend to keep a weekly long log and miss…

Hello, I am new to veganism, just started last sunday and can say i have been successful to miantain it for over a week now. Throughly enjoying the lifestyle and the way it makes me feel, so hoping to stay and keep on track for ever. I do have a health and fitness blog, & instgram where I post recipes and share stories…

Did you measure yourself by any chance? becasue sometime you gain weight , water retention, muscle gain, time of the month there's all sorts of reason, but your measurements stay the same... I haven't lost much weight but my measurements have decreased quiet a bit over the past week since begining a new plan of action...…

Thanks for that, I guess I will only know how well it works if I am conistent with it.

I do build muscle quiet easily and I love it, especially on my upper body, I really love that v tapered Look, broad shoulders tiny waist.. but I mean its obvisouly not everyone preference... i also love big quads and a tight bum but again not everyone cup of tea....

Most certainly can help you wiht that. I eat clean by avoiding, processed and refined foods & sugars. white rice, white bread, biscuits,pasta, bottled juices, bottled sauces,packet chips, cakes, cupcakes, jam and all other spreads, cereals and all other packet pre cooked foods. soft drinks (sodas) I also avoid dairy in all…

Tuna, 4 bean mix, rainbow salad, wilted kale & baby spinach & avocado

I am a strong believer that not all calories are created equally, I am sure everyone has heard the old 200 calories of cookies isn't the same ad 200 calories of veggies. Of course no one can go asking you to removed certain foods from your diet straight away but at least you are becoming aware of what is going into your…

Hey There, I too got diagnosed with possible PCOS, awaiting to go to a gyno for further inspection. This year alone i regained 10 kgs of what i had lost last year, and that is being consistent and super clean with my diet and training. I am not too sure of the issues i am having and so far I have gone from different…

I sure do, i dream about breakfast all day long, it is always my favourite meal of the day, but there is such thing as intermittent fasting where you skip breaky and don't eat till lunch time, i guess it is a preference thing? maybe it work fro some maybe not so good for others, If i didnt id chow the house down at lunch…

Hi Tanya, Best bit of advice I can give you is look at your diet first, how much are you eating & what are you eating? Then sit down and make a List & write out what you can improve in. Some pointers I can give you in terms of diet is: Reduce or remove any consumption of refined carbs & sugars Reduce or remove consumption…

There is a diffrence between Processed & refine sugars and Natural occuring sugars. I avoid Processed and refined like a plague, so my sugar consumption comes from my 2 serves of fruit & remainder of veggies and other sources of food daily. Bare in mind alot of that is also burnt during work outs so those number deplete…

I feel like i can relate as I had something similar but not purging just using laxatives instead, it causes just as much phisical as well as psychological damage, i have been laxative free for 3 weeks now, and it has been super tough, that feeling of fullness all the time is very nerve wrecking... but it is possible to…

Heloooo & welcome!!! wish you all the best on your journey!

I was like that too, but once i completelly removed white flour, sugar, simple carbs , juices, soft drinks, energy drinks and any sort of pre packaged processed foods, the weight strated dropping off quiet easily... I was excercising cardio & weights mixed... also not eatin enough calories will cause mass damage to your…
