Use both. Provided both go down, all is good.

Why get stressed over this? Stress causes the body to produce cortisol and cortisol causes weight to pool on the tummy. Reeelllaaaxxx - it's good for you.

Cycling is one of the greatest activities on the planet. Your weight is not a problem for a new bike from a reputable manufacturer. Do not buy an older mountain bike if the rear hub right hand bearing is not on the outside of the hub. Some rear hubs had the right hand bearing closer to the centre and this put uneven…

What worked? Do it some more! Every time I allow even the slightest increase of carbs into my food I put on weight even though I keep my calorie count the same and double my exercise. Do you remember Pippa Middleton and that dress she wore at her sister's wedding? It is said that it is all down to Dukan!

I approached my doctor about this when I was desperate but he was non-commital and so I undertook to learn about it myself. Over time, I learned a good deal about the various types of surgery, their benefits and drawbacks. This type of surgery is brutal! The thought of someone undertaking such assaults on my body (and with…

Don't worry about what evil people think, they are irrelevant. Good people will be happy for you that you are in the gym improving yourself.

In Oz cotton farmers started using GM cotton that was glyphosate resistant so they could spray directly on the crop to kill the weeds underneath without killing the cotton. It worked! The problem came when the pollen from the GM cotton hybridised with the weeds on the perimeter of the fields. Now the cotton farmers have…

It's easy to get rid of simple carbs - Just stop buying them - No cane sugar, no honey, no fruit, no maple syrup, no golden syrup, no chocolate! Cutting back is a common path to failure - total abstinence is the best way to success. Throw out all the simple carbs that you have and substitute stevia only when sweetness is…

A gag - the quietening kind. Just a joke - no need to go feral.

Why do we humans insist on interfering with a proven product? Millions of years of evolution have shaped the bodies we have today. I understand why we are basically hairless but don't understand why there are remnants of hair remaining or why that hair has differing degrees of coarseness but, if it's good enough for…

Recent reseach shows that humans do not need carbohydrates at all - we can get all our energy from protein and fat. It all depends on your total nutrient intake. The Inuit did not eat fruit or veggies before European contact. They had no type 2 diabetes, little heart disease, no tooth decay, no scurvy and led happy,…

Nothing motivates like success. Losing quickly gives you a reward for your efforts which will assist to keep you motivated. I would, however, caution you to ensure that the foods you do eat are nutrient dense, especially as time goes on. You might like to give yourself a break at some stage before you reach your goal to…

Adelaide, Australia. 35c yesterday, 35c today.

Looks, not important. Health, important. How much visceral fat have you lost? It's hard to tell because it is all internal. You may not have lost as much muscle as you think. However, a good exercise and eating regime never goes astray.

Have you ever seen a doctor doing liposuction? It's brutal! Do you really want someone using a sharpened metal tube to chop up your fat and suck it away even while you are asleep? Not me. I'll lose my weight by myself thank you.

You don't need to exercise to lose weight. Get your calories below expenditure and you MUST lose weight. If your exercise expenditure is small; eat less. Arithmetic does not lie! I had trouble losing even though I had the theory down pat. My problem was that I was operating in a factual vacuum and was actually eating more…

Towels and sponges can not spread calories unless you use them to soak up things like soft drinks and then suck on them - YUCK!! What they do spread is germs, bacteria, little bugs that can cause all sorts of nasty diseases. Clean everything with disposable paper tissues, non-chlorine disinfectants and hot water. Use a…

A lot of people are insecure and feel the need to disparage anything which does not fit into their eency-weency world in order to reinforce their feeling of self-worth. I feel pity for such people. Every time she comments, she is actually telling you that, deep down, she knows that you are her better. Eat your porridge,…

Cold turkey is the single most effective way to quit any addiction. It has a 50% success rate on the first attempt and you can try multiple times with the chances of success rising with every genuine attempt.

Dani, please get someone to advise you if you are going to do strength work. There is an elevated risk of injury if you work alone and especially so if you do not have someone keeping an eye on your posture and body-positioning techniques. Observe the others in your gym and ask the one who is the most sensible and…

I like to slice it thinly and add it raw to coleslaw.

I use set meal times as part of my self-discipline routine. Knowing that I am weak-willed, eating at set times helps me control my desires to eat un-necessarily.

You are in the right place. However, you must follow the site guidelines to assist your success. One piece of advice is to get yourself a kitchen scale (only a few bucks on eBay), weigh EVERYTHING you eat and drink and record it in your food diary. If you eat under your maintenance calories, you WILL lose weight - the…

Always read the labels. If you've got the choice of a product with none, go for that product. Else go for the product with the lowest. IMHO the low sugar versions always taste better anyway. Be wary of "low fat" versions, often the low fat option has high sugar.

Exactly! It's not the water but what else is in it that's the problem.

Recent MRI studies show that the brain "lights up" the same way for food as it does for opiates. This means that food addiction is just as strong as drug or alcohol addiction. It is actually more difficult to stop than drug or alcohol use because we can stop drugs and alcohol entirely without harmful effects. However, when…

Any of the Fast and Furious franchise - total drivel.
