Fasting day meal ideas needed for a vegetarian.
I had a holiday in March and another in May, the problem is that I can't get out of holiday mode and have put on half a stone which is staying put. ( because I am eating and drinking crap ) so I've decided to try the 5:2 diet. I did it a while ago but gave up as I just didn't know what to eat on my fasting days. I'm a…

Giving up dairy.
I suffer from Asthma and have heard that giving up dairy can help so can any one advice me. I need advice in what to replace dairy with. I do eat quite lot of cheese as I'm a vegetarian so feel that if I give up dairy I would be getting closer to being a vegan which is a path I don't really want to take. Has anyone else…

To gym or not to gym.
I already do 3 aerobic classes each week and a lot of dog walking but I feel that I need something else. So yesterday I had a trial at a new ladies gym that has opened up. It wasn't a gym with bikes, treadmills, weights etc...it was 30 minutes going around with a personal trainer doing 1 minute on the step, I minute…

Vegetable juice and protein.
A couple of weeks ago I did a 3 day juice fast, I lost 5 lbs but put a couple back on which I was expecting to do. Anyway since then I have replaced breakfast and sometimes lunch with veg juice which has cumcmber, carrots, spinach, kale, ginger, apples and a few other veg and fruit but its always roughly 80% veg and 20%…

Jawbone up or fitbit flex.
I really want a wristband that tracks my exercise and daily movements but really don't know which one to go for. What do other people have and what are your views. I can't afford to spend money on something that will end up in a drawer somewhere cos it doesn't do what it says on the box. x

Am I making excuses.
I really feel that I need to up my exercise but feel that I don't really have time, so I am asking for people to take a look at my day and suggest what I can do. Below is a breakdown of my week. Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. 6am, get up and out with the dogs, back just before 7, shower, breakfast, clean up after breakfast.…

Jawbone up.
I received my jawbone up this afternoon, couldn't wait to set it up and start wearing it. However I have just taken my dogs for a 30 minute and the up recorded that I had done over 3000 steps but my pedometer is saying just under 2000, that's a lot of difference. So if there's anyone here with a jawbone up, how accurate do…

Too many years....
I have never been over weight by much, maybe 3 stone but it seems that for the past 25 years I've watched what I eat and have exercised. I still have about 7 lbs to go until my goal but I seem to put on a couple of lbs and then lose them again over and over again. The problem at the moment is that I am thinking SOD IT, yes…

C25K
I am in my 2nd week of doing C25K, I have never been able to run, can do aerobics and bootcamp for an hour without any problems but running, or I should say a slow jog for 60 seconds is a killer. I would love to hear any stories from anyone that has completed the C25K programme, how did you feel when you first started,…

Which Protein Powder.
I have only got a few lbs to lose until my goal but my weight isn't moving so I've been advice to increase my protein. I try and have as much protein in my diet but don't eat meat and not a lot of fish so find it difficult.

Help with protein.
Hi everyone, I am trying to increase my protein levels, today I've had eggs, peanut butter, mackerel and a protein shake, ( of course I've eaten other items ) but I've just mentioned the ones that help with the protein. But my protein intake is still a lot lower than my fat and carb intake. So I need ideas of what foods I…

500 calorie food ideas.
Good morning everyone, I have been looking into doing the 2/5 diet but wouldn't know what to eat for 500 calories. Any ideas would be great, also which days work for you and why. I have an active job so maybe weekends would work best for me as I have more control over food choices when at home all day. Also any tips to…
