I am constantly bloated no matter what, HELP!
Okay, so just to back track, I am dairy and gluten intolerant, I don't drink soft drinks, rarely drink alcohol, but yet am still incredibly bloated constantly. I have anxiety issues, quite large ones, but I didn't think that would affect how bad I bloat to this degree. I look 3-5 months pregnant on any given day, even if I…

Is this a regular occurrence when strength training?
So after a pretty bad slump, about a month ago I started a strength training regime my partner made for me, and stuck to 1400-1600 calories as my goal (didn't want to make it too hard in case I give up again). In the first week I lost 2.5(5ish pounds) kgs, but since then I went up 0.5kg(1ish pounds) and even though I have…

Do you think size affects someone's attractiveness?
Bit of a strange question, and I know some larger people are totally happy together and the same for skinny and mixed couples. My question is kind of the opposite of what you my think. Is it likely for a person to go for someone larger and less attractive personality wise and physically, especially when you are already…

If I am at a deficit, why am I not losing weight?
I'm not trying to say it is impossible for me to lose weight at all, or that I'm perfect and not doing anything wrong etc. I have had my cheat days, but even if I do I try to keep my week at the correct total, i.e I would eat less the next day or exercise it off, etc. I try my best to weigh everything correctly, or scan…

Adding calories to different days
So I have seen a few statuses and stuff about this, and I thought it would be valid to put in a topic for beginners. Most of us know adding calories to the next day to avoid being in the red for today isn't the right way to do things. I know a few people including myself who did used to do this before we realised it was…

is a 5 day on 2 day off fast regimen healthy/safe?
I have decided to start IF again as it seems to be the best idea for my busy lifestyle. I plan on doing 20 -24 hour fasts each day( finish eating by 9pm and then don't eat again until 5pm the following day for a 24 hour, or not eating again until 1pm the next day for a 20hr), and then on the weekends only doing maybe 16…

How to correctly count excerise?
So when I am counting at the moment, and say I do sit ups, push ups, etc from 8pm to 9pm, should I could that as 60 minutes of vigorous calisthenics, or should I count that as like maybe 45 minutes, due to rests and stuff? I don't want to over estimate my burned calories.

Is it really bad to work out every day?
I wouldn't mind working out every morning or every night, even if I cut down my work out to 30 mins, though I'd prefer a full hour. My partner tells me that's not healthy and I need to rest as I am anaemic and I get sore and bruisy easily. Is this really true or does t not really matter if you don't rest every second day?
