I used to go to the gym for cardio, i.e. I used to do 10 minutes on the cross trainer, 10 minutes walking on a running machine at 6mph on its steepist incline and 10 minutes on the stepper and then I would start on weights. However, recently I have put on weight which I think is due to the...

My boyfriend is 24 and skinny. He has always been like this and I'm pretty sure he always will be because his Dad is the same. He doesn't seem to think that he will be able to bulk up but I am convinced that with the right diet, he would be able to. At the moment, he only really eats 3 meals...

I am going to go back on a high protein diet again but I have a question. What do you eat when you want something sweet? When I got on a high protein diet, I really crave things like chocolate and cake (even though I never eat much cake anyway). Any advice?

Well I've always wanted skinny legs but have come to the conclusion that I'm never ever going to get that so, to me, the next best thing is quite muscular legs. I have quite short legs. It's hard to describe them and I don't imagine it would make a difference because, like you say, everybody...

I'm not necessarily looking to build huge muscles, I'm just looking for good muscle definition. I need to clean up my diet (especially as I have eaten anything and everything over Christmas). I'm 5ft 2 (Think that's about 1.5 metres tall) and weigh 8.5 stones (117lbs).

If I want my legs like this (please see link - I hoping it works), are squatts and lunges using weights the way forward? Or am I best sticking to the machines at the gym (i.e. leg press, inner and outer thing machine and the one that works your hamstring)...

I do 1 hour of cardio and 45 mins/1 hour of weights.

And how long do you spend there? I went 6 times last week, usually go 4 times and spend about 90-120 mins there. Am I overtraining?

I've been going to the gym for absolutely ages now and go through phases of which cardio machine I like best. Used to be the bike, then it was the crosstrainer, now it's the running machine, but I know it will change again. Anyway, I just want to know, which of the following is the best fat...

That's so rubbish. It works on my computer! God knows why. Basically, what I want to know is for someone like Britney Spears, when she is in shape (like when she starred in her film Crossroads if any of you have seen it), would she need to be on a high protein diet to get abs like she has or...

If I want abs like these (please see link), will I have to go on a high protein diet? http://nkosiba.tripod.com/images/img_md_glow_05.jpg My stomach isn't a lot different from that, just no tone to it and maybe slightly more fat on it, but not much. My stomach is still flat. I haven't been...

Well it doesn’t restrict my carbs too bad because I can have up to 40g per day to start, and then up to 70. The atkins restricts the completely I think and I’m not doing that diet. I have read some good reviews on this diet that I am now trying.

I've never had my body fat measured, but my weight is 112lb, I'm 5ft 2 and a small build. I would upload a picture of me but I'm not a member so I don't think I can do this.

My goals are mainly to drop most fat off my body and look, well I don't like to use the word muscular because that makes me think of body builders, but I suppose that is what I mean. I want to look slim and I want good muscle definition all other my body. The food plan that I am following at...

I wouldn't mind losing a couple of pounds but my main aim is to see the results that I put in at the gym. I want legs that look lean and defined. I'm happy with my exercise plan but just want advice on what I am eating.
