Well, I just found out how to lose weight. I broke a tooth last night. It has a really sharp edge (I cut my finger on it and it is like a knife cut). So, when I chew, it tries to saw its way through my cheek. Very effective to stop you eating! And I'm sure I still won't be eating when I...

Oi! Don't diss KFC! Love the stuff :D An all-stars box + streetwise 2 piece = enough food for 3 people for $14, so can't complain about the price either! The clientele at fast food places always amuses me. Its a mix of rake-thin teenagers, plump young adults, enormous older adults and...

I get hungry a LOT more than 3 times a day. So I eat! Unless its really close to dinner time, in which case I just make dinner early ... which invariably leads to needing an evening snack, but you win some, you lose some. I tend to have breakfast, morning snack, lunch at 11 or 11:30, another...

We got a 10kg block of chocolate in the mail the other day. Its almost a metre long. I don't envy anyone with poor discipline who ends up in our shoes :) We're breaking it up into very small pieces and putting the pieces in a jar for the kiddies. They have a limit of 4 pieces a day.

We're trying the diet linked earlier which is a bit like what Coastymike said, its high fat. Coconut oil is one of the recommended ones, along with butter and lard. Cut out carbs/sugar as low as possible. Very, very filling I must say, considering the volume of food. And VERY tasty :) Will...

How do naturopaths diagnose vitamin deficiencies? I know my partner has run the gamut of blood tests and had to delay start of treatment until his levels of everything were within normal range and he'd lost some weight. What he's on has all sorts of fun side effects, from that muscle loss and...

Heh. I had a good google around, probably should have done that first. Turns out one of the various tablets he's popping has ... wait for it ... reasonably high odds of giving you CRAMPS. And he hasn't been on them that long. I didn't even know he'd switched that particular medication :rolleyes...

He's already had to do a 'lifestyle' change after being told he had vitamin D levels way under what's needed and is a walking osteoporosis risk. He has regular bone density checks and bloodwork done, unlike the rest of us who just guess. He's been told what weight he *should* be (low 60s/high...

5'9". I didn't say cut calories, I was just curious if there is a diet tweak to lose fat as well while muscle is going away. How many times do I have to say exercise/weights isn't an option because of cramps! At the moment he gets cramp from literally a few minutes of doing anything physical, eg...

He's 69kg and falling fast. Exercise really isn't an option, he gets the cramps too bad when he does *anything* at the moment which makes exercise a no-go. Maybe in sub 5 minute bursts once a day but no longer. I might confiscate his carbs at the dinner table ...

Maintaining the muscle mass isn't an option, this is a hormonal thing ... what would be nice is to lose the fat as well as the muscle. He's probably going to lose another few kilos of muscle and it is causing interesting side effects. Just curious if there were any diet tips, exercise isn't...

Hrm, what do you do when you're dropping muscle mass but not fat, at quite a high rate? Is there any kind of diet tip for that? My partner is losing muscle very fast - we think it is causing his rather major cramping at the moment and the drop in strength is very noticable - but not fat. It...

No deliberate exercise, no ... I have a fit ball instead of a chair that has done wonders for perking up my tummy muscles (while sitting on my bum - can't ask for more!) and I'm out in the garden a lot moving around mulch and dirt but that's really about it. I only just stopped breastfeeding so...

BMI is silly. I just went and weighed myself - dressed, after dinner and a beer. I'm 53kg and 5'6" and still have a couple pockets of wobbly stuff to lose although that would be well under a kilo of fat. That puts me at the boundary of underweight and normal and I've weighed considerably less...

I'm having well over a week of incidental excercise to date - hauling the entire contents of one house to another and then I have several tonnes of gravel and mud to move. I'm hoping things stop hurting soon :( Anyway, been pretty heavy on the cold chicken and peanuts, good snacks on the go...

Hrm, I have mostly protein followed by veggies and THEN grains. Dairy ends up being a pretty hefty amount in cheeeeeeeeeeeeesy dishes. I like cheese :D Apparently I have maybe a kilo left to lose now. Got new jeans, am back in all my old clothes (except my old jeans, which I can do up but...

Dinner tonight: Me: 3x crumbed lilydale drumsticks. Large pile of pasta and coleslaw. Baby: 1/2 weetbix and a good suck of anything the toddler drops on the floor. Everyone else: 1x crumbed drumstick. Delicate little pile of pasta and coleslaw. I'm hungry and its only 8pm :(

Hrm, I'm getting dangerously close to my goal weight now. Only 2 cup sizes off my old bra and one jeans size - that's only an inch off my waist to lose, maybe 2kg to go. A lot of my old clothes fit now, the ones from even a few months ago just hang off me. Bit annoyed that searching on ebay for...

Hehe :P In the past I've had major troubles *gaining* weight though. And your health suffers pretty badly when you're considerably underweight, like catching every cold that goes around *really* badly and generally being run-down. The missing ingredient was just 'happy'. I'd wager its the...

Yeah, I once dated a fellow with diabetes (type 1) and it was similar to his, but without the whole passing out on the floor thing. I always take snacks with me when I'm out of the house and when I'm at home I snack every 2ish hours, sometimes more frequently. How old were you when you stopped...
