Body Beast worth a go?
I want to begin a strength training program, I've dabbled with Chalean Extreme in the past, didn't get past the Push phase but I believe that's because I fell off the wagon and never went back. I want to give myself a kick up the bum and watching Body Beast vids excites me but I want to make sure it is worth my time and…

Losing on the scale but not physically. . .
Hey, this is driving me crazy and no one I speak to seems to understand. I've lost 22 lbs (1st 8 lbs) yet I cannot see any difference in my body, yes my face is a bit slimmer but I still have a big stomach, thighs, arms and a bit of a double chin. I'm 5ft 1 and weigh 215.6 lbs (15st 6 lbs). My friends say i'm being silly…

Organic Root Stimulator Replenishing Conditioner
Is it ok to use this as a moisturising deep conditioner? I mix it with various essential oils and conditon my hair after the rinse out but I've read that it is a light protein treatment, it does leave my hair a little moisturised. Also any recommendations on a moisturising organic (or close enough) conditioner I can use…

This is the headlines in the UK today, eating processed meats can lead to an early grave. Is anything safe anymore?

Flourless choc cake what am I doing wrong?
I'm in the UK and I use Canderel as a sweetener. I just had two disastrous attempts at a flourless microwave in a minute chocolate cake, the first was bitter and grainy the 2nd a little less so but that's because instead of 1 tbsp of Canderel I used 3. The recipe called for Splenda but I only have Canderel. I really want…

Where did you notice your body change first?
Hey been at this awhile and I get this will take time and is a lifestyle not a fast fix and I am cool playing the waiting game and working for it but I sometimes wonder when I will begin to see a change in my body besides some increased endurance.

Cardio vs Strength?
Hey, I had a night on the town Saturday which led to my choices not being the best and carb heavy so I know I've knocked myself out of ketosis. I would like your opinions on what form of exercise you do to deplete the glycogen in your liver and muscles to reach it faster? It normally takes me 4-5 days to begin showing pink…

You know what really grinds my gears?
That the majority of food that tastes orgasmic :love: is bad for me and the good stuff doesn't leave me as satisfied as the bad. :sad: I love a cheese salad can eat it every day but never hits that sweet spot like a moist chocolate cake or a portion of fish and chips.
