Fantastic! I think our bodies just hid their sorrow before when we ate all the rubbish and our bodies had to deal with all that terrible stuff- now it tells you when it's not happy and ... we are starting to listen!!

It is true that too much protein - eg milk/dairy can leech calcium out of your bones to balance the acidity produced from all the protein and keep your blood pH constant. But this applies to large amounts of milk and over a period of time to have a significant effect. A glass or two/yoghurt or two is beneficial to your…

Aubergine! (dark purpley blue...) think it's teh closest you'll get. Good luck!

What kind of pill was it? it's probably disolved in yoru throat overnight and irritated it... i think the only thing to do is drink lots of water and wait it out i'm afraid.

I agree with amie_46 I think there's a lack of fresh fruit and veg. Each calorie you eat should be an opportunity to really nourish your body with vitamins, minerals, fibre etc for lovely shiny hair, good skin, feeling energised and preventing disease. I feel like calories are wasted on diet syrup, diet butter spreads and…

Exercise speeds up your metabolism (so you burn more cals just standing still!), burns fat and replaces it with lovely lean muscle. And this website is about enhancing health as well as losing weight (all rolled into one really). Not everyone eats back all of their exercise calories but it's a good idea at least to eat…

The rise in hormones during your period have a similar structure to the chemicals that cause you to retain water - you will lose the excess water once your hormones are back to normal, don't worry! Also you probably built muscle as well as lost fat so measure, don't weigh! Good luck.

Hahaha love it! My mum used to call me "her little cabbage girl" sometimes because I loooved it so much! Cabbage is very good for you, it's totally fine to eat lots of the same vegetable, but try to put some variety in there too as your "5 a day" are meant to be a variety (different colours etc). And you're not doing the…

I would go and see a physio or osteopath. Increased tone in your buttock muscles/lower back may be squeezing the nerve, probably just needs some good stretches and a bit of hands on work. Good luck!

Sounds like it could be sciatica (trapped sciatic nerve) what sort of pain is it (sharp dull aching etc)?

Absolutely fantastic!!! Good for you, lovely to hear such positivity! Keep it up and good luck!

The headache is probably from withdrawl - it won't last long and it'll be so so worth it so don't worry and don't give up!

Exercise speeds up your metabolism - so still eating the same net number of calories but having exercised is MUCH better than just sitting in a chair all day and eating less. Hang on in there, plateau stage isnt fun. I got out of mine by making sure my body doesn't go into "starvation mode" so dont let yourself get hungry…

FANTASTIC!! Good for you - keep it up!

It wouldn't surprise me if you did burn a lot of cals in a bikram yoga session - have you felt how hard your heart beats during a session?!! But i think a HRM would be inaccurate in this scenario as you're not beating really fast because you're out of breath and running, but because of temperature regulation. I'd probably…

Hello and welcome! I know it can be a confusing muddle of nutritional advice out there, but some simple things are good to aim for - As far as carbs go, try to choose brown instead of white (brown rice, brown pasta, brown bread etc) you start to get a taste for it after a while, it is packed full of fibre which helps you…

Such an inspiration!!!
