Carb blockers, do they work? How?
Do carb blockers work and if so how? Anyone with any personal experiences using them? Which ones? I keep seeing a advert for XLS or something similar. I have used fat blockers before but realised pretty quickly how pointless they were, they force you to eat less and therefore you don't need them. But these carb blockers…

Any ideas for using up my vegetables?
I have a big cabbage, a whole cauliflower, a whole broccoli and about 5/6 parsnips sitting in my fridge waiting to be eaten. It's shopping day tomorrow but may go on Saturday instead, which means I need to get these eaten/cooked/frozen or they'll end up in the bin as my fruit & veg box comes on Saturdays too. Any ideas…

Struggling to do this again!

Just found out my water had calories! Ha.

Do you think it's possible to be addicted to something, get clean and at some point, go back to what you was addicted on without getting another addiction? My parents, bless them, didn't have it easy. My sister had a…

Low then high calorie days?
Just wondered on peoples opinions of spending the week days at say, 900/1000 cals, and having high cal weekends. Would this have any negative effects on a persons body? I find it much easier to eat well when my other half is at work, and on the weekends it's a bit harder as we have higher calorie meals and such. I'd of…

Flavoured water/sparkling water
Hi just wondered if flavoured water counted as plain water? Can I log it as water? I like both and I drink both, and whilst I'm not really here to lose weight at the moment I'd just like to keep an eye on things - fluid intake included. I think maybe I can add it as water cups as it's got to have a different effect on my…

Help with sugar free meals, please?
Hi. I suffer with awful psoriasis and after lack of help from the doctors and countless research, I've decided to try a sugar free, wheat free diet. There is lots of information out there and whilst it's not a guarantee I guess it will help me lose a couple pounds anyway. I'm a sugar pop junkie..energy drinks, red bull in…
