*Nom nom nom* I have sushi at least once a week, there are two sushi places within walking distance from my house, plus my uni sells sushi as well (but it's not all that hot), and there are sushi trains and japanese sushi restaurants within walking distance. Sushi is far more common then burger joints here.... I didn't…

Vitamins and supplements are a balance. Maybe it would be best to go see a doctor and see what you are deficient in? You don't want a surplus, anymore then you want a deficient. Everything I take apart from protein whey isolates, I take specifically for my body, after seeing doctors, or addressing issues I think my body…

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

y'all have glasses... / apart from 19 kgs lost...

Bump!

:/ That kind of 'logic' kills. I highly doubt that chocolate in itself (and I'm talking that pre-packaged stuff wrapped in silver foil sold at your local supermarket) causes weight loss. It is packed with bad fats, calories and sugar. Any positive effect produced by the caffeine or any other such cocoa related ingredient…

Agreement: Protein powder. You know you want to do it! Plus you can even get pea and rice protein powders and such, which is a more vegan alternative.

I refuse to believe that a salad without dressing that is 800 calories is still a "salad". And would refute its 'health' status. Salad doesn't necessarily mean 'healthy'. I'd opt for whatever fills you up best on the least cal and most nutrition. It's a balancing beam. Take out the carbs- the croutons or the Asian noodles…

I think most girls have at least mild self confidence issues, and it really is just something that can be slowly worked on throughout life- step by step. Don't put too much pressure on yourself about it, sometimes focusing on the problem can make the problem bigger. I know this is a way simplistic, problem-orientated…

I'm 5'7 too, and 135 pounds and all I can say is, eat healthy, eat between 1,200 and 1,450 net calories and you will get there (depending on how slow you want to go). The main difference between being thin, and being overweight is that while people starting at a larger weight might find 1'700 net a deficient, this might be…

[\crappy Internet double post \] -_- thank the Internet out here...

In terms of food groups they mIght be carbs, but many veggies don't have many "carbs" in them. If that makes sense. For example, if I ate an apple that would be 15 carbs, similar to one slice of white bread, but if I ate salad leaves or celery I'd probably only end up eating about 2 carbs because the carbs per portion are…

My sister's weight- 58kg. She's an inch taller, but 5 years younger and still a teen. So I figure I deserve a little bit of extra weight per inch. Plus, that's a BMI of 20. My first goal was 63 kg, which was my ideal of an 'acceptable' weight.

Dammnit chia not chai. I'm an idiot. But seriously. Go to your local health food shop and you're rollin'.

It always sounded fun to me... but yes, definitely chocolate. Chocolate or chocolate flavoured things = approximately half my calories. I don't have any other "vices" in terms of this context really- chocolate, and perhaps head scratching if that counts. I always scratch my head... I suppose that makes me feel better about…

Cocaine. Lol jokes. Chocolate.

I vote for a clean break.

It's no more or less offensive then the terms "*kitten*" or "*kitten*", it's all about context and subjectiveness. Personally I don't find these terms offensive at all. I'm all for the reclaiming of previously negative terms. I'm all for language in all its forms. But in some contexts I would punch a hoe over calling me…

Now that I think of it, I've always had soft nails... I now take a multi every few days (for general health), fish oil (for ma thyroid), have occasional protein shakes (because I was obviously not having enough protein), B vitamins (in particular, as I sometimes take study vitamins containing vitamin B) and I take vitamin…

By 2012 I want to; -have finished my first degree -passed everything -Be 60 kgs -Have teeth so white my smile scares people I'm pretty much on my way to achieving these; my secondary goals (for mid 2013, when I turn 22) are; By the time I turn 22 I want to have been under 60kgs consistently for an entire year, I want to be…

Just buy a bag of unflavoured (or vanilla) whey protein isolates and mix it with some lipton chia tea or other chia tea powder? I'm sure this method is just as effective and cheap as more labour-intense methods if you do your research. Yesterday I made a mocha frappe with ice, 2 teaspoons of vanilla whey protein isolates…

"Aside from that, I am pickier of who I date now. I am not wanting to date someone who is not physically active. " Amen to that. "Plus, people who I get a certain feel for online usually turn out to behave differently offline." Yer, I like to think I'm funnier offline, but really I come across as white and nerdy... On the…

Well if that burger was the majority of your sodium, you just try to avoid having too much in the other things you are going to eat today. Having slightly too much sodium, isn't going to kill you. An excess of sodium can cause edema, and high blood pressure. A low sodium intake leads to lower blood pressure and brings…

Putting the other symptoms aside, is it only dizziness when you stand up? Because that is likely to be caused by dehydration, or a slightly lower blood pressure then you used to have, due to increased fitness. You could have either high blood pressure, anemia, blood electrolyte changes (due to a sudden change in diet/…

I guess it's just a matter of getting use to them. Since they are probably the most vital part of anyone's diet. Nutritionists disagree about everything apart from veggies being super awesome- low carb, low calories and high in vitamins and other awesome stuff. What's not to love? The taste you just need to get used to,…

I really don't think logging in everyday is as bad of a habit as people make it out to be. Sure, it might not be as "accurate", it might be unnecessary. But I'm curious. I want to know everything, and I want to be able to monitor every weight fluctuation, and see how things affect my weight. Weighing myself (almost)…

I'm type one diabetic so I've learnt to equate food with 'feeling better'. Tired? Just eat it away! Sick? Have some food... I wish it was as easy to associate unhealthy carb-laden foods with feeling sick, but I don't really. I guess because the effect of eating something bad and getting sick is less immediate then eating…

Same, and same. I used to get all confused and hesitant about what day, until I edited my diary to do "Breakfast" "Lunch" 'Dinner" "Snacks" "Snacks (night)" now it all goes under snacks (night) sometimes I even put things as early as 8pm or whatever under "night". This works for me. Plus, I put it under the day that I…
