Just-Eat advertisement, you serious MFP?
Just thought it was quite funny that myfitnesspal a website dedicated to people trying to lose weight has accepted advertisement from just-eat a massive online takeaway store. Kinda funny eh?
Fitness vs Fatness
Hi all, recent paper looking at fitness vs fatness on risk of death / lifespan (mortality risk): Key finding is that if you are physically active but overweight/obese, your probably just as healthy as a lean inactive person and possibly even a lean active person. I.e. the beneficial effects of regular activity, are…

Energy vs macronutrients and dietary planning
Hi All, following my last post on the typical issues with starting a dietary program ( http://www.myfitnesspal.co.uk/topics/show/1212113-how-i-lost-6-and-a-half-pounds-in-a-night?hl=how+i+lost+6+ ) I thought I would follow-up by briefly tackling dietary planning, and the general controversy between focusing on energy vs…

Does protein cause cancer?
I am absolutely fed up with the number of posts on here, re-quoting the media headlines about animal protein increasing cancer risk as much as smoking. (Original study: http://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/abstract/S1550-4131(14)00062-X) I would like to demonstrate why the conclusions of the study are void, the media…

How I lost 6 and a half pounds in a night...
Probably one of the greatest excuse's people forward for dropping a diet or exercise routine is that they are not losing weight. Most of the time, "not losing weight" is a relative term. Those who have been dieting successfully for months or years understand that consistently losing 1lb a week is a serious achievement.…
Truth about alcohol, protein and exercise.
Hello all, this is my first article I have posted on here. Hope it is of interest and in the appropriate place.

However, a…
