Thank you. To those who suggested not buying in bulk? I know. Hindsight and all that. Their chocolate mint are very nice. I ended up microwaving it in a bit of almond milk, BP2, coconut oil, honey and a banana, all mashed together. Tasted a little better actually and kept me full until lunch. Will have to think of…

I'd say peas and broccoli.

Thank you for the replies, though my question hasn't really been answered. I know there is nothing wrong with protein bars, I know I should be able to eat them without explanation, but I also know that if I eat one in front of my friends I will have to explain nonetheless. Most of the time I don't want to do that. Maybe…

in the UK the Ben and Jerry's staff are taught that one scoop should be 84g.

Well hello Terry's Chocolate Orange segment!

I've heard coconut water is excellent for the morning after. Might work for the night before too? also, almonds.
-
Actually I'm pleasently surprised!
-
This is such a good idea! It was away, hence the slightly last minute topic! But for I am definitely going to look for some 1/2 measure spoons, thank you for the idea.

I knew if it was cooked or not. I didn't know if, when the description said 1 cup of rice, for example, whether it was 1 cup when cooked or 1 cup when uncooked. I do have a measuring cup but that's not practical when I'm in the company of people who look down on me for measuring. That's why I asked.

Thanks, I did that but the pictures that come up don't look at all like 1/2 cup rice, and even then the websites don't say if it's cooked or uncooked.

I log it first. I find it easier to keep track how much I am drinking that way, and then the next morning I adjust it accordingly. It is also more relaxing, because you're not mentally counting calories each time you order a drink, instead you just track the number of drinks.

Just want to thank everyone for your replies. I thought it might be just me who felt this way, when I did a google search all I could find were posts on body dysmorphia and posts on feeling fatter after losing weight, and this is none of those things. I do feel thin, but I also feel foreign and unusual. Perhaps it will get…

Do you cook the oats before, or leave them raw?

Well I wanted to avoid defining my goals so as not to get into a semantics debate, but I have lost enough weight now to be at the lower end of my BMI. I still have flab on my stomach and thighs and have taken up heavy lifting to, I don't know, re-comp? Build muscle? Something, so that I can eventually weigh more but appear…
-
So 3 sets of 3 reps is reasonable?
-
I did it. I ended up nearly having a panic attack when I was offered a piece of cake and had no excuse to say no. Then I put it all back on. Now I do about 1500 a day, I lose weight, I have enough energy for working out, I feel happier. But everyone is different. I think if you're questioning whether it's a good idea, you…

Might just be a bug, or stress, or one of those things. Doesn't have to be about diet or exercise. I wouldn't worry about it until it carries on for more than two days.

Came across this topic whilst looking for reviews on this. Would be interested to know if anyone has bought one.
-
Thank you very much, I suppose the consensus is to keep at a slight deficit then. I just don't really want to see the scale go down much further, even though, looking at my tummy, it needs to go down by 10lbs or so!
-
Oh no I don't do IF. I tried, but I just like the taste of food too much. Why would it make a difference?
-
I am so sorry to bump. I am still confused!
-
Honestly, my first experience was really very similar. I felt so humiliated, but I was not going to give up. Afterall, if everyone else in the class can do it, why can't I? I slumped home and sat behind my laptop with determination .Turned out I had the technique all wrong. The distance between the front of the seat and…

Well currently I am eating a deficit, so are you recommending I slowly increase to around maintenance? I don't understand how my tummy fat will decrease without a deficit, although I am aware I don't need to lose any more pounds on the scale.
