Nuts and Meat for breakfast?
Hey guys, So I have heard a little bit about nuts and meat being the best breakfast to have, however I am not sure for what exact reasons it has this reputation. Has anyone switched to this and never looked back? If so, why? I had kangaroo, walnuts and egg whites for breakfast. A little higher in calories than my usual…

I smothered it all over my tummy and muffin top area, then put about 3 layers of plastic wrap around and then a tight bandage. I had this on for about 13 hours as I slept during this time. Washed it off this morning. I think…

My confession.....
So I began using MFP over two years ago. I was doing well with my diet. I was exercising 4 or 5 days a week, I was eating right, including snacks and cheat days and felt completely in control.

Cow milk, almond milk, flax seed milk, soy milk.....

CHIA BRAN - What to do with it!?!?!
Hey guys, So I recently purchased chia bran from an organic shop. I tried a bit of it in my protein shake this morning and am not a huge fan of it. I was wondering what else I could do with it?

I reached my goal. I was happy with my new body but...
I have had quite a few people say 'don't lose anymore weight' and I can't help but take that negatively. I have had a friend go recently 'I think you should gain 4 kilos' I mean really!? 4 kilograms!?!? another say 'god woman! eat something!' It's quite depressing to think that you went too far and are now disgustingly…
