Why Can't I Eat Red Onion Anymore?
I never used to eat much raw onion before but I then discovered how yummy raw red onion is. I'd have it with my salmon salad all the time and loved it! The past few times I've had red onion in my sandwich though it's given me a massive pain in my stomach almost like cramps. If I leave it out and don't eat any I'm fine but…

Water Intake and Bladder Problems.
I used to drink about 3/4 pints of squash a day but since trying to lose weight I've upped that to as many as I can fit in. It's probably more like 6/7 pints of squash a day now.

Hip Osteotomy and Weight Training?
In Jan 2012 I had a Peri-acetabular osteotomy on my left hip and this Jan had the screws taken out. I have been told the bone is healing well but I'm wondering whether it is safe for me to start weight training?

A Couple of Questions About Lifting.
So my calorie goal used to be 1200 a day when I wasn't training at all. Now that I am training I know my calories should increase a lot more but does anyone know how I can figure out by how much or is that not really important?

Soya Yoghurt?
I just opened a pot of Alpro Soya yoghurt and it looks like its about to go off. It doesn't taste too bad but I've never tasted it before and the expiration date is June!

Over the past two weeks I've been making sure my calorie intake is below or on par with what the app suggests. I've found that when I look at the nutrition tab it usually tells me I'm over on my total carbs. (This breaks down into dietary fiber and Sugars) Should I be worried about the red numbers?
