Quark is readily available in the UK. A new brand has come out, in a 200g pot 140 calories and 20g protein! Yum! The smoothie sounds amazing, you had me at mango!

I have made the bena chilli, that was really good. Really quick to make and tasty. I also made the carrot cake which was pretty awful. I have a feeling the savory options are going to be better than the sweet ones. Maybe thats just me though, I do think if you going to have cake, have some realy cake but a smaller…

Loved it! I literally couldn't run for more than a a few minutes before starting it. Just make sure once you finish the 5k and feel comftable, you keep going to run further and further. Agree with other, dont feel bad about repeating days. get some decent running shoes as well :smile: such a good app!!

I made these but substituted the chocolate chips of chopped pecan nuts. Only because I didn't have the chocolate to throw in. They were amazing, so rich, chocolatly and moist. Worth a good go!!

When I did the C25k, I started on a treadmill when you do the walking/run intervals as I think I would have felt a bit stupid stopping and starting outside (just personally for me) but now I try to run as much as possible outside now I'm not doing that. Time goes so quicker, you have more distraction from nice scenery and…

The couch to 5k app was my knight in shining armour to get me running. I started off by doing it on the treadmill at the gym because personally, I felt like a fool stopping and starting running and walking outside. I then ran outside and I currently run mainly outside and on a treadmill at the gym. Outside is far better,…

Without sounding biasaed towards dietitians (as I am one!) I would suggest definetly speaking to a dietitian bwfore starting/when starting FODMAPS. It's quite a new concept and diet and as dietitians before we can talk to patients about a FODMAP diet (in the UK anyway) we have to go on a specific 2-3 days course to learn…
