1 year - an angry rant
It's been just short of a year from when I started my journey to health. I couldn't walk to hang my washing and I realised something needed to be done. Urgently. I joined a CrossFit class and got stronger. I joined pilates and toned my core. Hell, I even joined karate, which I had always wanted to join. I got fitter but…

Will CrossFit cause bulky muscles? And can I prevent this?
I started doing CrossFit recently. I like it fine,but a girl in my class is very bulky - I knew her from before and she was much leaner. I don't want big muscles. I just really need to lose fat. Is bulk a natural side effect of CrossFit or does it depend on genetics etc. Can I prevent bulking either way? Help a newb.

Starting......AGAIN
Fell off the wagon in a big and terrible way. Starting over, feeling defeated. It's fine, though. One step, one day at a time.

Can vegetarianism and low carb marry and live happily ever after?
Ok so to cut a whole long story short I decided this year to become vegetarian. Personal choice - I love animals and despite a desperate love of all meat I can't justify it to myself anymore. I am also terribly insulin resistant and heard that low carb can help with that. I need to lose weight desperately for my health, I…

How to pick a chiropractor?
What makes a good chiropractor and what is expected from a visit to the chiropractor? Do they go into much of your health details? Adjustments are obviously important, what about massage or needling or other soft tissue work? Do you get a care plan to do some homework on your own? How much are you expecting to pay? Is it a…

I have a cold. Can I do non-cardio type exercise?
I started with this cold and did a few yoga workouts and now I feel worse. I don't have a fever or any systematic symptoms much, stuffy head and lethargy mostly. I don't want to not do anything, I have finally gotten to a point that I am making some progress and I don't want to lose it now.

Low cal but filling breakfast ideas. Saving up for lunch binge
We are having a family lunch and I would love to spend most of my daily calorie allowance on it. What can I eat for breakfast+ pre-bed cause one big meal a day isn't going to cut it. Also I have been considering a low cal meal replacement shake for times like these. Any suggestions?

Feeling jittery and weak
I am 36, female, need to lose 25-30 kgs, and I am eating between 1350 & 1500 calories a day depending on daily activity. I have been eating 1200 for 2ish weeks and felt fine. Since increasing I find I have dizzy spells as if I have low blood sugar to the point that I have to stop what I am doing and lie down. Nothing much…

Recovering from a very high cal day
If I ate almost triple my allowed calories in one day 🙈 do I make up for it by decreasing my daily allowance or do I write it off and just carry on? Fasting tomorrow is also an option. As it stands I am only allowed 1200calories a day so I don't know if cutting it down even more is a viable option .

Exercise for weight loss, joint issues
Every time i start exercising i injure myself, i guess due to excess weight on my joints. I thought of trying tabata yoga as yoga makes me feel great but doesnt really help with calorie burn or toning, but reviews suggest you should be fit before doing it. Suggestions?
