Junk Food Withdrawals!
Hey there, after spending awhile now eating pretty much nothing healthy and only junk, I have put on more weight than I'd like to be carrying. I've cut out all junk except my sugar in my coffee. I have no appetite, I'm irritable, mildly depressed, itchy and have a headache. Any idea when I'm going to feel better? I can't…

Carb binge after strict keto
I had a binge on everything sugary I could find last night after a week and a half of <10g carbs ketogenic diet. It's the next day and I have probably had about 20g of carbs today, but I feel very nauseous and the more serious one is I feel quite unhinged mentally. I feel like I could just freak out and punch a hole in the…

New to the gym
Hey there, I am 32, average fitness. I am going to start at a gym tomorrow and would like a bit of advice on how to start to achieve optimum results. I have a good amount of muscle underneath the extra pounds of fat (except in my glutes), so don't really feel the need to build up much, just tone what's there and shed the…

Itching after eating kiwi, bell peppers and grapes?
I have some kind of allergy where I get awful itching all over about 20 mins after eating kiwi, bell peppers and grapes. I thought it was just the fruit until tonight when I had some red bell pepper. Only the drowsy antihistamines seem to make it go away once it starts! Does anyone know what common allergen is in these…

Question about sugar addiction
Hey there, I have a major problem with sugar and cravings. If there is such a thing as a 'sugar addiction' then I would be the poster child. I have decided to make the only sources of carbohydrate that I consume low GI fruits, vegetables and the sugars naturally found in milk (which I don't process well anyway due to…

Keto for carb addiction?
Hi all. I would like to hear from anyone who has adopted a low carb way of eating because of the effect carbs have on them psychologically? I have been diagnosed with an eating disorder for so few year now (ednos binge, starve cycle) and I am convinced that the root of it is an addiction to carbs. I don't ever binge on…

New ways to avoid refined carbs/sugar
I've noticed that foods such as cereal, bread, pasta, rice and sugary things tend to send me on a binging rollercoaster. I'm really trying hard to avoid them but because I've been eating those sorts of foods my whole life I really need some new ideas! Anyone got any advice? I'm currently eating oats, fruits and vegetables…

New to the gym
Hey there, I'm joining the gym this week. I have about 13kg (27lbs) to lose, I have also bought a HRM. I am wondering about the following: Should I concentrate purely on cardio until I lose a few more kg then start with weights? Do a mix of the two? Thanks in advance :)

Fourth nicotine free day
I had a depressive episode about three months ago and ended up re-starting smoking when I unwittingly smoked a joint laced with tobacco, I hadn't had a joint or a cigarette in over a year and a half so it was a bit of a double whammy. I decided the dope wasn't for me but continued to smoke. I am now on my fourth day cold…

Scales broken. Who here doesn't weigh themselves?
This morning my electronic scales gave up. I am not in a position to get another set, so I'm just going to have to go by who my clothes feel to mark my progress. Who doesn't weigh themselves, or does so infrequently? How useful did you find this method?

Like an alcoholic?
Hi there, my name is Sharlene and I consistently struggle with doing well for several days then just losing the ability to watch what I eat and I binge. This puts back my whole weeks progress. I am losing very slowly if at all because of this. My main question is, since I simply cannot just have one cookie, should I be…

Abs after babies

Do you have a reward for when you reach goal?
What if anything, are you going to treat yourself with? Hubby and I have agreed that I get to have a (NZ)$1000 shopping expedition, which I am thoroughly looking forward to. I do however, have around 13kg to go until I get there so I will be waiting awhile.
