Low carb brain fog
Hi all, I don't want shouting at, just some general advice. I'm a healthy weight and happy with my size, and exercise regularly. I've been on a pre - holiday low carb diet with extra workouts to help me feel more confident in a bikini, but with 10 days left before I fly, I'm feeling exhausted and don't want to do anything.…

Sitting next to each other on a date = inappropriate?
Where I work, we have plenty of regulars that prefer to sit next to each other, so I lay their tables accordingly, but they do tend to be older married couples. We don't really cater to young couples (I work at a golf club), so I've never served a young couple on a date, but I really like sitting at a 90 degree angle, or…

If you can't handle talking about cake, don't read.
Hey All. So it's my birthday tomorrow, and I always make my own cake. Today I made a Red Velvet Cake. It looks great, but red velvet cake needs frosting, ideally cream cheese frosting. the low fat cream cheese in my fridge DOES NOT work, so I was hoping some avid baker out there could give me some tips on making thick…

Why is sweetened/flavored water so much easier to drink?
I just drank a litre of water with a squeeze of lemon and a little elderflower cordial, easily. Usually drinking water is a total chore unless it's in odd sips or I'm really thirsty. Why does flavoring water make it so much easier to drink?

Gift Advice
Okays. So I found a really nice leather wallet, that I love, and I'm thinking of buying it for the man. He already has a wallet though. Obviously, doesn't everyone? So, dear guys of MFP. If your girlfriend got you a wallet for Xmas, would you swap all your stuff over and use it, or would you think "Oh great, a generic gift…

Nsv - I can wear a bikini!
I've never really been overweight, but I was a chubby child, turning into a weight conscious teenager.. I guess puberty helps, because over the past few years I've actually got some curves. I've always been way too self conscious to wear a bikini - they never looked good on me. My arms were always too chubby, there was too…

I LOVE to cook.
I love cooking. It's fun, it's productive, it's therapeutic, and you get to see others enjoying what you've made. I could happily spend 2 hours or more making and decorating cupcakes.. like I did yesterday. Somehow I was disciplined and only ate one. :drinker: Does anyone have any recipes that take work, and effort and…

Baking Cravings..
So I have a baking craving. I want to bake stuff. Not even that bothered about eating it, but no doubt I'll have a little.. Anyone have any recipes I could try that aren't too bad for me, but will be eaten up by the family? Thanks! :flowerforyou:

Chicken in Beer sauce. Zomg.
So, this isn't hugely healthy.. But it's not bad for you either. It's chicken, and vegetables, and beer. That's it. But somehow, while cooking, it turned into this amazing malty thick saucy sauce that I wasn't expecting, and it was damn good. So. 1 red onion - Chopped, not super fine, but not into huge chunks. A happy…

Bacon medallions
For all you (british!) bacon lovers, I found a new product in Tesco - Healthy Living unsmoked bacon medallions. Essentially, they're the rounded bit at the end of a bacon rasher, with all the fat and stringy bits cut off. 2 grilled medallions provides 11g protein, only 2g fat, and no carbs. They're also yummy, because duh,…

body fat %
I just tried a body fat and lean body mass calculator. With a 25in waist, 118lb, and 37in hips, I'm certainly not "fat" but my body fat % was 25. I mean, I know I'm not a stick insect, but that surprised me. Even when I messed around with it, a 23 inch waist and 34inch hips only brought me down to 24.5%! I do have tiny…

Hi, I'm Daisy. 5'2-3 ish, fairly slim, looking to lose about 7 pounds, and tone up for summer. I've struggled with eating disorder type symptoms before, but letting myself get fat won't help that, so i want a healthy way to lose weight and tone up. I'd love some friends on here for encouragement. Nice to meet you all -…
