Thanks ladies. Yeah, I am really struggling over the past 4 days or so cutting fruit right down to just a few berries in the morning with oats. It is driving me insane - I didn't realise how addictive even fruit sugar can be! Seriously, I am working on an assignment at home and all I can think...

Hi Thandie. Thanks so much for looking at this for me. Yes, I agree that fruit is my downfall - I love it. I have modified the diet as you have noted above. The reason why I have broken it down into 7 meals is because I really am unable to eat very much in one sitting (50g of oats with water is...

Hi there! I have posted on a few threads but not many so I thought I’d formally introduce myself J I’m Rachael and I have always exercised and eaten healthily and have tried to be as health conscious as possible from around the age of 13. I have never been into junk food and eat tons of fresh...

Wow, thanks so much for all the info Tami and Thandie - and for the great almond milk recipe which I'm going to make right away! I knew alot of the info on cows milk after a half hearted attempt at being a vegan many, many years ago (failed miserably after two weeks because I felt so ill!) but I...

oooh thanks, I'll take the recipe! :) Just had a look online and it's incredibly expensive in the UK.

Oh no! I've been eating tons of it for years as have been lactose intollerant therefore totally dairy free for around 10 years now, I have soy milk, protein powder and yoghurts!! The problem lies with so much conflicting info on soy, on the one hand it is supposed to be great for lowering...

Great! Thanks for the info and link, really appreciated!

'Remember that soy is slower acting than Whey so it is purely a protein supplement - doesn't really act as a post workout protein.' Hello ladies! My name is Rachael and I am new to this forum - just joined yesterday (thought it was about time!) but have been lurking in the shadows for some...

Hi there guys (from grey and rainy England)!!! I'm new to this forum but was just having a scroll through the posts and came across this one. To answer your question on Botox under the arm pits: I have had it done twice and yes it does work :) Don't get me wrong, I have never had a problem with...
