Sugar free redbull, maybe? It isn't too bad for you, only has maybe 8 calories, no added sugar & gives you an energy hit. But it's a bit of an acquired taste, not everyone I know enjoys it. It's probably still not the best for you, though. On the other hand you could always try something like "Berocca", an orange flavoured…

Today I've eaten 925. Usually it's probably a bit closer to between 750-850, though. Heaps of people will most likely respond with "that's unhealthy blahblah" which I know it is, but really I don't find much reason to be concerned because I don't find myself being insanely hungry throughout the day or anything. I just eat…

Not evil, but like everything you just have to have it in moderation. If you're worried about the starchiness of normal potatoes maybe try substituting for sweet potatoes. They have a great flavour and taste just as good roasted, as fries, mashed or turned into gnocchi. They also have way way wayyyyyyyy more nutrients in…

Eggs. I just love having eggs for breakfast, and stats show that people who have eggs for breakfast eat an average of 20% less calories for the rest of the day. Poached, scrambled (with onion and feta for a little treat), boiled, fried, omelettes, however they're done I just love them. Although I also mix it up a bit, a…

Sugar from fruit is okay. Added sugar is really quite horrible for your body, though. Half of standard table sugar is sucrose, half of it is fructose. (Sugar is also called "sucrose", so on nutrition labels if it says sucrose, it just means normal sugar) The fructose half of sugar is the problem - your body doesn't…

Just make sure that when you drink your water it's at least 15 mins before you start eating, otherwise it slows down digestion, making you feel bloated and sluggish.

I find Weight Watchers & all related things to just be terrible. While it may help lose weight, it's a calorie restriction diet which essentially depletes your muscle mass & that's why you experience a weight loss. If you do it for long enough, you'll also reach a plateau. They simply aren't effective in the long term -…

It's okay to splurge every so often. Eat whatever you want to, start again tomorrow.

- Wedges with chilli sauce. - RASPBERRIES!!!!!!! Oh man I could eat raspberries all day every day. - Happy Lab strawberry pash or caramel crunch chocolate. - Sweet potato fries with aioli - Pesto mushrooms with cheese - Olives stuffed with feta - Sushi rolls. Oh my god, lately I'm just completely obsessed with sushi.

It can be a bit dangerous to be overly obsessed with tracking your calories. So if you feel like it's really impacting on your mental state to be tracking them or something then it's best to try to stop or see someone about it. If you're hungry then eat (sensibly). If you're not hungry then don't. Learn what foods keep you…

Aqua Zumba is should not be hard on the knees, nor should other aquatic sport (swimming, aqua polo, aqua aerobics etc). Any exercise in water gives little resistance and is better for your joints. Hope this helps (:
