Thank you, I kinda wrote this in my head at work =^--^= One, bacon in coleslaw? What a waste! I love coleslaw, putting salty bacon in it just seems a bit... odd o_O It would be good if we could all appreciate each others differences instead of critising them, I really do feel sorry on behalf of those rude jerks that force…

I'm in a similar position, though I'm going up to 23 by the end of next month! I've just got to 30 minutes on the elliptical on interval training, 40 rpm slow and 70/80 fast, and a similar thing on the tread mill then I start pumping iron! I would list the different machines but I have no idea what they're named just what…

Rancor, someone with a grudge (http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/american_english/rancor), people with grudges are rude and mean (at least I am when I hold one) so yes. That's what I read from the word, at no point have I been rude or suggested I have a grudge against vegetarians (from the piece quoted I pointed out…

lol of course we don't, that's why we ask for proof! Thanks for obliging, by the way. Anyways, after a quick read, it supports what I said- there is a minimal loss of vitamin uptake, though it maybe the tiredness or the dyslexia talking here (dyslexics untie!) but I can't see anything I should be worrying about. Afterall I…

wait wait wait... so we're being rude and mean? I have plenty of friends who are vegetarians (even a vegan but I don't see her much these days) I have never had an argument with them over food (other things yes) because they don't try and force me into how they eat nor do they use scare tactics. They eat their salads I eat…

You know what's funny, I can't find a single peer reviewed studying into showing that it removes a significant amount of nutrients (one, on wiki of all places, said there were minor losses of vitamins but are commonly found in other sources in healthy diets but it didn't note anything about a loss of calcium (at least…

accepted with the temperature etc. but how does this effect it's calcium content?

either way it's my birthday the day after, I'm wondering if people are going to get me anything v__v

The meat I eat I walk by it before hand, my family prefers to pay extra and go to the local farmer/butcher who raises, kills, butchers and sells the meat. I know he's just started to hang the Christmas turkey's as I didn't see them from the bus today :D

hey! I'm from Nottingham! I know it's not exactly down the road, but feel free to add :3

Peer reviewed forums are the only thing to be trusted in these circumstances :3

Don't know where you're from but here in the UK (and EU) you'll find practices like this are illegal under several animal rights acts. Perhaps you should considering moving instead of a change of diet? The milk we have here is pasteurized, but also high in calcium (so is cheese of both variations), for it to remove calcium…

I watched this programme, the Food Hospital, and there is a section about people who have extreme diets. One was a fruitarian /vegan(until the programme I didn't know a 'frutarian' was such a thing). Anyway, he existed mainly off fruits and the occasional vegetable- turns out he's put himself into diabetes and has such…

The idea of removing a whole food groups (or lowering it substantially) is pretty childish. You'd have to do it for the rest of your life for it to have any permanent effect, does removing carbs forever sound realistic? More move, eat less and make better food choices. ps Unless they have a doctorate in medicine they're…

^ agree! Declawing is illegal in the UK- and I'm happy for it! My cat has never damaged furniture and only claws by accident- when he's outside in the big wide world it's his protection! Sometimes he puts them out to get grip when you're holding him over one shoulder but he's never drawn blood. Also my little boy has never…

I can't live without my furry little man, but he does have the ablity to go outside and roam. If you really want a cat may I suggest a Munchkin one? They have shorter legs and are more reluctant to get out if you're apartment doesn't give your new friend the ability to go out. Read up a bit before as well, all the 'my…

At first it was to prove I could do it- sooo many people doubted that I would stick to going to the gym I have proved them wrong - six months and 31lb later >3 Now I find it relaxing, in an odd way and very social. I can get all my aggression and angsty feelings out whilst doing my cardio and think things over during…

I think its a baby male rat o_O

When I was having them, I've got the implant to stop them for medical reasons, I'd gain up to two to four pounds and then it'd come off a day or so after my period.

The ability to distinguish fad books and actual literature, having a higher IQ then average, going in and out of depression, having dyslexia, knowing each Monty Python film practically by heart, watching Black Adder every time I was ill as a child, knowing that my humour tends to go over the heads of many, knowing how to…

In the space of 2 months I lost 29lb eating the calories suggested by MFP (if you don't then seriously why are you on here?) with at least two or three hours a week at the gym. I would have put 35lb, but as I'm building muscle I've gained 6lb back but I should be loosing again soon :3

A girl came in for an induction, she didn't seem to need to loose a whole lot of weight. She got my favourite instructor, Helen, at the end of the introduction to the gym, the machines she started to tell the newbie about healthy eating and weight loss. The girl visibly laughed in Helen's face, I quote, 'someone as fat as…

Yet another fad that the media said we should aim for! There was a thread about a month ago, a girl had researched it and found only a small percentage of women can actually 'develop' a thigh gap. I'm aiming for a healthy body, not a media approved one!

I tend to put on a few pounds of water weight before and during, unfortunately, but the best thing to do is watch what you do eat, exercise in moderation (listen to your body if it feels strained as mine does during this time) and drink plenty of water. If you consistently eat well and exercise it will come off, but even…

bump. Your body naturally detoxs, just have a look at the wikis for the liver for example, honestly OP. Look over what you ate that has caused you to feel bloated and you'll realise what went wrong. The effects of a detox are purely plecbo, as many medical professionals will argue, so why argue with the professionals?

real question is what has he made with it????/

mines open, I'm on 1810 at the moment :D

First of all; IT'S MY POPCORN!! I NO SHARE >3 Second, that you've factored it in. I still eat chocolate and loose weight and people question me and it's what I've told them. Also that, for me, it's a life style change- I'm going to be counting and exercising for the rest of my life- and I'm not going to cut out chocolate,…

Personally I'd have it done by a medical professional - there was a scandal in my local town when a Chinese Herbalist shop did these tests. They came back with similar results and people immediately cut out the foods- then became ill as they were eating a very limited diet. If it was done by a medical professional, ask for…

As asked, I've come back with how it went. It went oddly! I had done my usual work out before hand which in hindsight is a bit silly! I was under the impression the class itself would be about half an hour, but they were new bikes so we'd probably be doing about 20 minutes of work. Turns out they had a go over the weekend…
