Me!

You're not alone at all - it is a really common condition! Problem is most gps haven't got a clue what to do about it. To the podiatrist with you! Honestly, it will help to see someone who knows more about the condition, can see why you are getting jt and start treating it :)

See a podiatrist - you need to get those arches looked at to see what is causing the plantar fasciitis (do you have high arches?) GPs do not specialise in feet and can only give basic advice; would you ask your GP if you needed a filling, or see a dentist?

B-balanced are best orthotic; custom made but not overly expensive. The ones you buy in a pharmacy aren't the best as both of your feet are unlikely to be identical to each other, and certainly won't have an identical arch to another person. If you don't like using a golf ball under your foot, a tennis ball can be a bit…

Yes, it's really common. Have you tried rolling a golf ball under your foot? This helps ease off the tissue. Also you kight need some kind of orthotic to prevent it from recurring? have you seen a podiatrist?

Have you seen the beer advert that has gone up in response to this? I saw it in London yeaterday, made me chuckle.

Yea, I don't have a problem with the advert in that respect - and realistically if you are trying to sell a weight loss aid, you will use a slim model to advertise it; all companies do this! I think it is better than some of the photoshopped images you get of thin individuals in jeans 10 sizes too big for them to be like…

i like mini v nutrition - their shakes taste really nice!

It is VILE. Honestly, really really sweet and unpleasant. I got it to mix into my post-gym smoothie and it's overpowering and tastes really artificial. It is also very thin, so I don't think it would be very filling as a meal replacement (although I have not tried this).

I think perhaps the real problem with protein world is that they claim to sell 'health' and being fit. Are meal replacements and 'fat melters' really the correct way to go about this? I don't find the advert sexist because they also have one with a man as the 'aspirational' figure with an equally airbrushed physique, but I…

I haven't, but I have just been prescribed erthromycin for 8 weeks so I am worried about this!

She drives me mad. I get especially annoyed that she is known as a 'singleton' - the woman has no sense of independence and is constantly boyfriend hunting!

Hey riffraff, how do I work out my caloris needs? I want to lose about 10lbs, I am classed as 'overweight' but I definitely have more fat on me than I should :s

Flumps! 30 cals and I love them. I also like pom bears (90 cal) and greek yoghurt.

Anyone judging someone while they exercise is a turd. Go you good thing!!!

I would ask your dr about the weight gain, in case it is the doxy. Doxy is evil!!! But to be fair it did make me better :)

Pilates and boxing!

Anti protein would be crazy! I think that lifting weights in preference to cardio is becoming a trend (amongst the girls I know at least - none of my group lifted last year, but now ten of us have started). Also fusion exercise - I have seen a lot of combined gym classes to 'burn fat' - such as 'piloxing'! Hehe

That is what I thought!!! I emailed them earlier this week querying this. Bet it is veggie and the website is wrong.

Doxy actually made me lose weight...it made me soooo sick, I was throwing up like crazy :(

...poached egg on toast. I usually get around 40g protein a day and the TDEE thing says I should have 80g...oops.

Yes 3 sets of 10. It is a 60 minute supervised session but there are 3-4 of us to a platform so takes a while - especially as we are all beginners so a lot of faffing about! Obv in the 60 mins that also has to include 'dynamic' warm up and abs and stretching. But yea...we are super slow! It is not body pump.

Oohh TDEE is a fab idea, thank you!

I haven't tried either, but I do think JossFit's post is spot on. There is no magic pill, 'fat burners' can work as JossFit said, but they are not needed or healthy. Plus the price! Some are crazy expensive. Put the money aside, and use it to buy yourself a treat when you've lost a few pounds :)

If you really want to do one, I would design your own. I did one for a week where I made my own overnight oats, smoothies, salads (not boring ones, I put roasted aubergine and courgette in mine) etc - made sure I was hitting my goals whilst cutting processed foods. I found this helped me stop craving take away (I get soooo…

This site is great for getting unbiased opinions on products - I never would have heard of quest bars if it wasn't for this place! Protein World isn't bad to be fair, I think there are nicer protein powders out there, but hope OP enjoys it! It is a difficult time of year as all weight loss companies are going to up their…

This is my fave recipe: 1/2 avocado Handfull of frozen berries (I use a mix of blueberries and strawberries) 1/2 banana Handful of kale 250ml coconut water 2 scoops protein (I find using 4 is too strong, but do what works for you) 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, I like them for fibre) 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional I just…

Caffeine actually does give you more energy, so by that logic, fat burners/melters can make you burn more calories during your workout. However, if you're anything like me you'll just feel more hungry after the exercise and end up eating any benefit away! However, the protein world ones, as I said, did nothing for me.…

I have tried bootea - some friends and I reviewed some 'teatoxes' for our uni magazine a while ago. We found that bootea was the most gentle - there were some (skinny teatox and a fruit one that I can't remember the name of, it tasted orangey) that caused really horrible cramps so stopped using it. We all lost a few pounds…

One cup of kale has like 2g protein - I know it isn't a lot, but I find little bits help! I like making fried kale chips and also blend it into smoothies. I am a vegetarian and struggle with protein too! Love all of these suggestions. Also here is another overnight oats recipe: Mash one banana in a bowl Mix in: 45g oats, 2…
