Weight lifting Q
This is probably a stupid question, and has probably been asked before but I can't find it so am asking away. I am trying to build some muscle to help with overall fatloss and health, and so have been learning to lift weights (most I can manage is 45kg, so never super heavy). I have been eating lots of protein, but my…

Protein shake ingredients Q
Hello! Ok, so firstly do not judge me but I have bought some of Vicky from 'Geordie Shore's' protein shakes. They are actually super nice. However, the website states that these shakes are not vegetarian. The ingredients are: Whey protein isolate Natural flavouring Fat reduced cocoa powder Aminogen Sweetener (sucralose)…

Lifting and calories
I am trying to work out how many calories I burn when I go to my lifting class. I cannot lift more than 25kg just yet (but this is an improvement from 7kg!). I usually do 3 reps of 10 (squats, deadlifts, bench press, and upright row usually). I am enjoying it so don't mind if this isn't burning calories...however...after…

CLA supplement
Hi all - does anyone here take CLA? My friend takes it to help get results from the weight lifting she does, however, from what I have found on google it seems to claim to remove fat which worries me. I know very little about supplements, just wanted to see if anyone here knew more! I just take vitamin D :s

Has anyone tried 'profile protein'?
I am tempted by it - protein in wee shots instead of a big shake/protein bar sounds good, but wondered if it tastes ok...I am super fussy!

Jillian Michaels 'lose 5lbs of bloat'
Hi all, Just found this and thought I would share: 60oz distilled or pure water 1 tablespoon sugar free cranberry juice 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 dandelion root tea bag Apparently drinking this everyday for 7 days helps lose water weight (Michaels says around 5lb). I would guess that this is temporary, but could be a…

Karate
Does anyone think that the numbers for calories burned are a little off for this? I have been plating with a heart rate monitor and find I burn around 350 in a 2 hour class. Obviously if you were constantly fighting you'd burn more, but when it's basics and kata it isn't as vigorous...I wondered if anyone else has any…

Nutribullet Q
Can a nutribullet blend nuts, without any liquid being added in? I am wondering if this blender will only work for smoothies, or if I would be able to use it to grind almonds.

Has anyone tried the green super eleven shake?
Sorry if someone has already posted on this and I haven't seen it! I have been having super eleven shake as a snack (love it) and wondered what the green version is like? Green just doesn't look as though it would taste good. Hmm.

Feeling super tired...heeelp
Hiii, I am really struggling to get up in the morning just now. Any tips for waking yourself up? I usually drink a bottle of water to get myself upright, but I am so tired just now - trying to write up my thesis, so am struggling to sleep and bleerrghhh!

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling mfp! (Also rebooted device - android phone - forced app stop and disconnected and…

Mine won't wooooorrrk :( Have rebooted device, forced stop on all apps, uninstalled and reinstalled apps, disconnected and reconnected...and alas, it still will not sync. Anyone feeling frustrated alongside me? Or have I done something daft...

Herbalife tip
Hi. If anyone is using this, try mixing it in a blender instead of a shaker - mixes better. I use the mint choc chip flavour and discovered today that when I blend it the chips don't sink the the bottom so much. NB: no I am not selling this, I do not think it is a magic weight loss drink, I just like it as a snack and…

Adverts on this website
Hi, I keep seeing adverts for 'boot camp in a bottle' on this website. Wondering if this is the website, or if it is one of those adverts that appears because of my internet search history (like on facebook I get adverts for books relevant to my uni course and french connection)? Just curious, wondered if anyone else sees…
