I have 900g of Chocolate Soya Protein, and it's horrible.
Looking at my intakes, I don't get nearly enough protein. "No problem", I say to myself. I will go and buy some soya protein. I bought a 900g jar. It is big. After I've had it I can even use it for canoeing - result! I made my first glass back now. It's vile. Have you used it as a cooking ingredient? Any recipes? I thought…

Using breadmakers to make bread with less salt
Hello folks I am doing, I feel, pretty well with my healthy eating overall. I am staying on track and feeling better than I have done in years. I haven't got much of a weight loss goal, I just want to be healthy. The one thing I can't seem to keep within limits is my sodium level, though. Looking at it, one of the biggest…

Trainer/rollers advice
Hello Just a quick question. Do any of the training rollers/turbos have published weight limits? I'm not getting enough miles in to keep up my training goals now the nights are getting darker, I thought this would help.

How much fitness is too much fitness?
Hello everyone. This morning, I watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6U728AZnV0 As someone who is at their beginning of their journey back to fitness, it is interesting. The suggestion is that fitness and health aren't linked in the way we have previously been led to believe. My chosen sport is cycling. I have…

Has anyone done the NHS strength and flexibility podcasts?
If so, did it work for you? Am feeling a hundred times better with just more walking and cycling - do you think this would be good for me? Link to them (free download) here: http://www.nhs.uk/Tools/Pages/Strength-and-flexibility.aspx I'd appreciate your thoughts. :smile:

Cyclists: Turbo or rollers?
Hello. The weather is getting worse here, and when I woke up it was still dark. I am going to invest in some rollers or a turbo trainer so I can keep the miles up when I want to stay indoors. I don't necessarily think riding through storms and the like is that good for you. Which one do you use? If you have just started on…

Excercise value of chopping firewood.
They always say wood warms you up twice - once when you chop it and once when you burn it. Well today, I spent three hours chopping firewood. By hand, with a bowsaw and an axe. I will want to light the stove soon. Can I count that as excercise? I was out of breath most of the time, and I feel it in my arms and shoulders…

Rewards before you earn them
I am currently training to do a long distance cycle ride next summer. I had told myself that if I had achieved my training goals, I would buy myself a nice road bike in the spring. Someone has offered me a nice road bike. It is almost exactly the sort of thing I would have bought - good quality steel frame, good quality…

I want to start yoga
But I don't have the time or a regular enough schedule to go to a class. I travel around too much. I'm an absolute beginner; never done it before. I just want something to do alongside my cycling to help me stay flexible. Where should I start? Are any of the beginner Youtube videos worth looking at? Or a book maybe? I…

Returning to cycling - point me to resources?
Hello everyone. I have taken a break of 10 years but really want to get back into distance cycling. I have a goal - next year's Dunwich Dynamo on July 4th. For those that don't know, this is a 200km (124mile) ride that starts in London at 9:00 in the evening, and finishes at 7:00-9:00 the next morning with a dip in the…

Hello everyone
Hi everyone I am Chris. I am 37 next week(!) and have joined MyFitnessPal to lose 90lbs, which takes me to my weight when I was 24. I have struggled with my weight for years thanks to poor eating habits and a period completely out of control with alcohol. The drinking won't figure in my life the same way again, but I still…
