Shift Work and Weight Loss
I am a student nurse and have just started back on placement which involves 12.5 hour shifts - both days and nights. Before placement I was losing 2lb a week on average.

Melatonin
Hi, My son had ADHD and has trouble sleeping. It has been suggested that he take a melatonin tablet to help him sleep. As I live in the UK melatonin is quite tricky to get hold of but can be ordered online. Does anyone know any trustworthy sites that I can get it from? I am really wary of buying something like this from an…
Napolina Pizza Topping
Hi everyone This is a really daft question but I am going to ask it anyway! I don't like tomatos but love the pizza topping. Has anyone used it cold in a salad in place of tomatoes. Is it ok to eat cold? I can't find anything on the pacet/website to say if you can or can't. Thanks
Chicken Kiev alternative?

Water v Squash
Hi everyone, I know that we are supposed to drink lots of water (8 glasses per day?) but I don't like water!! Would low calorie diluted squash have the same effect - as it is mostly water? Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts. Thanks Luv Kat
Fruit and Veg
Hi everyone, I really want to eat healthy food and make this a lifestyle change rather than a diet BUT........ I don't actually like fruit and veg!!

Dislike Fruit and Veg
Hi everyone. I hope someone can help me because if I can get it sorted it will make everything a lot easier. My problem is simple - I don't like fruit and veg!!
