  • What exactly are you craving? Depending on what you crave it may indicate that your body is running low on vitamins or/and minerals. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpW1ujYHZ9A&feature=channel_video_title A funny and interesting little video on cravings.

  • You can take your measurements like tailors and dressmakers take them. Neck should be measured at the narrowest point but pointed downwards into the hole between your collarbones. Breast measurement is taken directly over nipples and the measuring tape must be parallel with the floor all around your body. If you have very…

  • Unfortunately fat on us ladies is last to go on our thighs. From what I read on that topic only hard work and a healthy diet works on that area. You might want to add some squats and lunges (and similar) to the routine you plan to condition those muscles. They will look much better when you burn that fat off. I'm in the…

  • A boiled egg comes with fat. If you are low on fat anyway one boiled egg a day is fine but if you want to avoid that fat you can buy egg white in a pack (they also come in a form of powder) for protein only. If you eat just one egg white you wont get much protein out of it and it is a waste to cook 6 eggs and throw away…

  • I don't like the taste of tap water here and it is really hard for me to drink a lot of just water so I buy lemons and I make sugar free lemonade. It is not expensive and it is really refreshing if you don't over do it with lemon. I don't drink Coke regular or diet, I don't drink store bought "fresh" juice because they add…

  • I eat low fat low sodium cottage cheese and I do agree that the texture and the taste gets really boring but to make it more creamy i add water and mix it. For breakfast I slice up a peach in it. If you have a food processor you can mix in peppers, cucumbers and veggies that you like in and spread it on rice cake or whole…

  • I have weeks when I replace day for night so I can say I eat at night but I don't wake up in the middle of my sleep to eat. If I feel hungry before I go to sleep I eat some low fat cottage cheese (a spoon or two) before I go to bed. It is absorbed by the body fast so the body can go to rest/repair mode very fast and hunger…

  • Totally agree! One hour after work out your body is more than ready to absorb nutrients so the protein from the shake will be like an injection of pure heaven to muscles. On HIIT days I sometimes eat a small piece of fruit (fast carbs to get back energy fast) if I really feel burned out. High protein diet works for me…

  • Mashed potatoes with a generous amount of butter and milk. Around 500kcal per serving and I stuffed my face with it 2-3 times a week. It doesn't sound so bad all by itself but pair it with chicken breasts on butter (I love butter) and I would eat over 1000kcal just for lunch or dinner. I really like to cook so I don't have…
