    Shin Splints / Achilles Tendonitis

    I can't believe I've been so stupid. Stayed in a hotel last week and was quite bored, so ran 5k in the evening, then the morning at their gym and then in the evening walked 4 miles back to the station with 20kg backpack. Now I seem to have shin splints in right leg and Achilles tendon/heel pain...

    Perfect World Ice Cream

    This came up on my Facebook feed today from a relative http://www.perfectworldicecream.co.uk And for sale at Tesco too, so doesn't need to be ordered online or be forced to go into the world of misinformation and lies that is Holland & Barrett. I just wish it wasn't pandering to nonsense with...

    Libido

    Am I alone in noticing a remarkable increase in libido while on the LCHF diet? Of course, it could be just down to the weight loss and any diet would do that. I'm feeling like a 17yo (of course it helps that my wife, who's been on this diet too, now has the body of a 17yo).

My teenage kids are somewhat less keen. My son basically lives on cereal has started buying...

    Four hour high - how does that happen?

    So I'm on a work trip to that there London, and faced with the temptation of a full English breakfast at 6.30am, gave in to it: A sausage, 4 fried mushrooms, fried egg, tomato, a small portion of beans - and they had bubble and squeak, so had to have that (obvs), but it was only about one small...

    Feeling a bit manic

    So, I got my meter last week and BG has been between 5.2 and 7.7 every day since then. I've lost about 8kg recently on the blood sugar diet (I'm now just on LCHF) and I'm a couple of kilos short of a normal BMI now and dropping weight more gradually. I've been doing weights and exercise too. My...

    Non-organic chia, flax, etc

    Is anyone aware of a source of chia and flax/linseed that ISN'T claiming to be 'organic' I find the whole concept ridiculous and meaningless regarding health and anti-human and elitist and refuse to buy anything labelled as such, however, it seems to go hand in hand with most health foods and...
