Calories Dilemma
Hi there, I've hit a plateau. Currently i'm eating around my BMR which is 1650cal (calories just to stay alive).

I'm 5ft 4 and 198.2lb (Highest weight 222lb) I am aware muscle weighs more than fat so yes I…

Reducing anti-depressants & weight management
This week i've been dropping my Citalopram from 20mg to 10mg doing alternate days, but noticed my appetite has been up and down, which I know is normal, along with feeling more tired.

intermittent fasting
Is anyone doing the intermittent fasting (IF) as seen on the BBC's Horizon http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19112549? In a nutshell you fast for 2 days a week but you can consume 500cal/day for females, 600cal/day males; eat normally the other 5. Does anyone have a great way to break that 500cal/day down? 1x500cal meal?…

The Tesco website say that's due to variability in ingredients between store bakeries. Is there any reasonable way to guesstimate…

Any freelancers/work from home "losers" out there?
I'm a freelance illustrator and I work from home. My daily commute is normally from my bedroom to the spare room via the kettle and the jar of coffee. If you, like me, are a workaholic how do you find exercising? I used to go to the gym every weekday morning 4 years ago (when I was unemployed and working on folio and job…
