This might be the dumbest question you read today, but I’m going to ask it anyway!
Ok. My question is about carbs. I’m following a keto diet, so carbs are important to me. I have a jar of bovril. It says on the label that a serve contains 4g of carbs, and of that, less than .1g is sugar. So what’s the other 3.9g? Because I have a hard time believing a 12g spoonful of this delicious brown slime contains…

How do you distract yourself when you know you’re bored, not hungry?

Physio-type question
So I’ve been suffering from low back pain for a while now.. no real concrete answer as to what’s wrong, but one prospect that I think is pretty plausible is that the problem is with my deficient core muscles.

Bio impedance scales?
Hi all, My beloved tanita scales have gone mental and are telling me I’m 30kg and 5% body fat. This is a drastic change from yesterday and I’m inclined to not believe it, so I think it’s time my emaciated butt went shopping! I’ve actually been really happy with my tanita scale and I think it’s had a good lifespan (is 6…

Holy Crab, this might be the worst thing I’ve ever tasted!

I think somethings screwy with my food diary numbers.. or am I just misunderstanding something?
