Gallstone/gallbladder diet?
Hi all! I’m currently trying to manage symptoms pre-op with diet until I see my consultant in a month. Does anyone have any no oil, low fat, low everything recipes to keep me going? I’m using spiralised butternut squash or courgette (zucchini) for noodle alternatives that I can digest but even those leave me with bloating…

Hi everyone!
Back again after a few years break. I lost 3 stone very quickly (9 weeks?) after my divorce and 3 years later I’ve just been diagnosed with gallstones. Apparently my gallbladder isn’t happy processing so much cholesterol at once and after a year of tests for everything else, I’m due to speak to a consultant about possible…

Gym or Classes
When I do cardio and resistance machines at the gym, I'm ok the next day... but when I do an aerobics/circuit class, ( I've only tried 2, and only completed 1 session of each) I hurt for 3 days after - like not able to walk and have to take painkillers just to be at home. Should I give up classes and stick to the gym only…

Enough Protein and fats?
I created this post under a different title but got no responses in the main forum. I'm hoping to get some advice. My nearly 15 year old is very athletic. He takes part in sports for between 1 and 5 hours every day and I'm trying to make sure he has enough protein and fats as he is already lean enough. I'm considering…

Advice for teen

I'm considering allowing him to have a protein shake on more active days. What do you think? He is a…

Hi again from Kent, UK
I left Fitness Pal as I felt counting calories left me disheartened and reaching for the goodies in defeat, but since working from home, I'm returning several sizes wider and much heavier (not sure how much but its too much). So here goes attempt number 2. I'm hoping to join the gym once my LO goes to school in September,…

Where are all the Pumpkins?
I've been eagerly anticipating the autumn for all the veggie goodies that are available normally, but there are no pumpkins at the 4 main supermarkets and the staff at Aldi don't know if theirs are for eating or carving, which is helpful. I haven't seen any little squash anywhere either, just the usual rock hard butternut…

Things to do with veg
I used to do a cauliflour cheese, but what can I do that doesn't involve cheese - apart from a curry. And what do you do with celeriac apart from grating it into a salad? Any interesting ideas for cabbage?

New this week
Hi, I'm on day 3 now, so quite new and I decided that I should actually weigh myself rather than just guessing. I guessed at 70kgs... 74kg...bmi 29.7...and 44% body fat :noway: OMG how did I get so unhealthy?!? I'm getting to the end of The China Study after reading Skinny B**** and need a serious kick up the bum to get…
