Your opinion on fruitarianism.
Personally, I think it is very silly indeed. I don't think it is sustainable. That much fructose is not good for anyone....

Ladies......
How soon after having your period do you weigh yourselves? When do you find you've had a weightloss or gone back to the weight you were maintaining? I mean I finished Sunday, weighed today (Monday) and it says I've gained half a lb, which I'm pretty sure is waterweight.

Struggling,
I'm a recovering agoraphobic. I like to go out now. I like to be busy, do things. I am also a monophobic, but that is another story. Recently, I was doing seasonal work as a kitchen porter in hospitality. It gave me a purpose, it kept me busy, I really enjoyed it, and I loved the people. It ended Xmas eve, and since then…

Becoming Veggie
Hi all. I have decided, after watching a video of what goes on inside a slaughterhouse, to become a vegetarian. I tried awhile back, but I was so scared of becoming anaemic. How can I easily combat this. Taking multivitamins? Please don't make it too complex, like having to eat numerous leafy vegetables. Please tell me…

Unrequited love
I like a guy in my choir. Him and I are acquaintances. He goes to the pub, like I do. I see him often. I like him a lot. He doesn't know, but I do know he likes someone else from this support group for stuttering he goes to....and another person in choir has also pointed out he may like one of my friends, which I have also…

Any softcup users? Sorry guys....
Just wondering. I inserted mine for the first time tonight. So long pads.

How often do you weigh yourself?
Just wondering. I am thinking of only weighing myself once a month, straight after that thing has ended (sorry, tmi)- that's the only time I get a loss.....the rest I gain waterweight

*Rant time*
I recently took up a kitchen porter job as for some reason, I thought I would go into the culinary arts to eventually become a chef. I've not been there long, a bit longer than a week I think. Seeing as it's nearly Xmas, it is a temporary, seasonal job, which ends on Christmas Eve. At first, I was devastated it was only…

Women: What do you use?
Sorry guys. And sorry for being so personal and tmi here. But I've been using the softcup on my cycle. Only 3 days in and have used nearly 8 softcups which is the full pack...... They last 12 hours, and usually last quite a while..... but on heavier days, only about 3/4 hours for myself. I feel like I'm being ripped off,…

The OCD Stereotype
Hi guys, I have been diagnosed with OCD since I was 10. I'm 22 now. I find it incredibly hurtful and annoying to the point I feel wound up, when people make fun of OCD and/or stereotype it. Everyone says they have it these days, it's a blatant lie. It's not even the most common mental illness.....anxiety and depression…

Agoraphobia.
I was, and still am an agoraphobe. I used to stay in the house. One day, I felt the urge to get out, and went to a local small supermarket, a co-op as it's called here in England. That was the beginning of me going out. I still can't walk to places by myself, I go to town by myself, driven there and back, but I can walk…

Ignorance about calorie counting.
Tonight, I had my first ever experience of calorie counting ignorance. Now, let's face it, people who don't calorie count, have no idea about it. They don't realise, that getting the exact amount of calories is quite important, no we wouldn't gain weight going over, but we do like to get right. And a lot of foods, peanut…

Is it REALLY possible for people to be naturally thin and never gain weight?
Right, I used to be quite thin, but then my diet crept up with me, I gained it. Luckily, now I am at a healthy weight range. I never dreamt of that happening to me, but it's all fine now I'm thin again. I have a friend who is literally skin and bone, naturally. Her mum is quite thin also. I think she does eat, but she is…

Calories in vodka help!
Hey guys, I have tried to find the calories in a vodka drink I'm drinking, called ''taboo red berry sour'' It is a fusion of vodka and red berries. It has nothing on the bottle. I looked on MFP and it says 222 in 100ml? I read vodka is quite low in calories however? I have looked on the internet and couldn't find anything…

HELP HELP HELP.
Right, so I eat 1615 cal, my tdee. I don't eat calories back. I just realised, as I had BK for lunch, that I only have 116 cal left. So now I've got to eat dinner, which I've been eating, which I didn't necessarily want when I only had bk an hour ago. I don't want to use the rest of my cal on dinner. And, I have been out…

Struggling.
Hi guys, I know I posted here last night. I asked about how many calories I should be eating and I was told 1615, thank you. I'm finding it hard to reach this amount while staying within my macro's, and eating healthy. I want to go back to 1200. I want to try and get a flat stomach. It's all so hard. Help.

Confused.com
Hi all. I worked out my rest day TDEE is 1346 (-20% under TDEE) but my workout day is 2019 calories. Do I log on the workout days? Do I make sure to log the exercise I do? Do I eat all the calories back. Do I have to definitely eat 2019 calories on those days? In the Summary it says 1682 calories. I'm guessing I eat this…

Any fellow hypochondriacs?
I'm a major one. Ever since this girl became popular in the news for having breast cancer, and all this ''check your breasts'' thing in the media, I became convinced I had breast cancer. My ocd latched onto it and gave me compulsions to check for cancer. And yes I know I sound like a nutter. I promise I am sane, I am on…

Thinking of joining a kettlebells class.
I have heard, kettlebells is great for getting rid of fat on your stomach, toning you up. I don't have a flat stomach so was thinking of going to a class once a week. It burns major calories too. I was wondering about other people's experiences with kettlebells, and does it matter what you eat if you are eating enough to…

Sick of my body.
I'm sick of my love handles, sick of my fat abs and fat stomach. Thing is, I don't have the determination to put in all the hard work, because in the end my family gets mcdonald's or something and my healthy eating goes down the drain. And I just cannot say no to mcdonald's. I'm 144lb, 163cm. I am thin. But not thin enough…

Mini quiches
I'm not entirely sure on the calories but these are low cal. I'd say about 50 cal per quiche. Perfect for a picnic. If you have two muffin trays, it will be easier, this recipe makes quite a lot, so you can do all the steps at the same time with both trays and put them in the oven at the same time. Ingredients: 2 egg…

What type of milk do you drink?
I have recently changed from semi-skimmed cow's milk to almond milk (sweetened) and I'm loving it in my tea! Also felt kind of weird drinking milk from another animal and after a recent story I read, it made me change to almond milk.

Donating blood
Hello. I would like to donate blood and I know how to go about it. However I am very squeamish about it. And I am also very scared I will pass out which is really unpleasant. Any ideas how I can stop being so squeamish about it and not pass out? I mean I've had tattoo's and people can pass out from those, but never have. I…

Drinking on citalopram
Hello guys. I would love to know your experiences of drinking on citalopram. I'm on 10mg of cit and I haven't drunk in so long, never whilst I've been on it which would be a little more than a year. I've heard some horror stories about it. Like getting drunk faster, blacking out, killer hangovers. I don't tend to drink…

Having trouble with general weight loss
PLEASE HELP. Okay, so I've lost about 32lbs over a couple of years. I did slimming world, then I did MFP. They have both worked for me namely SW, which I lost most of my weight with. However, MFP has helped with 12lb of weight loss. I prefer MFP for sure. But with 5lbs til what I call 'goal' - which I will probably change…
