Rice or naan bread?

As you may have guessed by the thread title, I'm off for a curry on Friday and by manipulating the rest of my day will be able to fit in a main and also a rice/naan bread - any recommendations of which is better nutritionally? I would place my bets on rice and I like both so happy with…

Atkins bars
So far I have only tried the choc chip daybreak bars, which taste great but seeem to have a lot of omious ingredients. Do you guys eat any of the Atkins branded food or just stick to the principles of the diet?

Stopping binges once and for all...
So I know bingeing is quite a popular topic on here but I really need to find a way to stop them, Basically, I eat "well", "properly" whatever, all week, generally all the way up to Saturday afternoon when I normally allow myself a "treat" meal...

Thinking about it
So, after successfully losing the bulk of my weight, I'm looking to lose the last few lbs, about 7 to be precise, though if i lose 3 - 4 % Body Fat I am not overly bothered about the scales.

agave nectar
I normally have a tsp of honey in a plain greek or natural yogurt as part of my lunch. I was thinking of replacing this with agave nectar - it seems to have a lot less sugar in it and overall be a lot healthier. Is there anything bad about this product that I'm not aware of? Do you guys think it would be a good…

Quitting alcohol for a month (and does this work?)
Hi I love my booze and my PT has requested that I abstain from alcohol (amongst other delightful things) for 4 weeks. I am on day 3...lol. And this weekend hasn't been too bad because I've just been at home but in upcoming weekends I have social events where alcohol will be all around me and no doubt there will be certain…

hello from Kent
Hi all, I've been doing a mixture of losing weight/attempting to lose weight now for about 3 and a half years. Thankful to say I have never gone back properly to my "old ways" (eating as much rubbish as I want, no exercise and generally being very overweight and unhealthy) but like most normal humans I do give in to the…
