Are people using the “0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight” calculation to workout how much proteinto get per day ? I am a Vegetarian so no meat or fish for me...

I believe you can have to much protein which could effect weight loss How do you decide how much protein you need daily? What are your favourite things to eat to get your daily protein?

I am just reading “ Escape from the diet trap” and he wrote that you can eat as much Greek Yoghurt (full fat) as you like for say breakfast, with some nuts and berries. Isn’t that really just lots of protein ? So Are you now saying that that could be more of a hindrance than help but tickly...

I am not sure I understand your question especially 50% of protein intake... I am aiming to stay below 50 carbs a day n I having set anything in place for protein. I am finding at times I am hungry so then have some cheese or nuts or a boiled egg. I am not weighing anything as I didn’t want...

Yes I did fast(prob 14-15 hrs) before the test. I am vegetarian and I don’t (like) eat oily fish like salmon, mackre etc so I need an alternative. Ah ok so hopefully on my next test things will have improved. At the moment I have stopped eating bread, Cereal, Porridge,pasta, potatoes,cakes...

I did 35 minutes brisk walking today then a few sets of squats at home. I know muscle burns calories pretty much constantly and in your 30’s you start to loose muscle. So the plan is to build up some muscle and where better to start than with the biggest the legs muscles. :0)

Thanks for the welcome Japes. Lol I like the bit about shocking medical professionals. What "silly little challenges" have you done? Yes I use to walk just over 5 miles a day going to and from work but I am home based now so having to change my thinking about getting myself out. I like your...

Hi All, It seems my HDL is low :0( HDL Cholesterol 0.82 mmol/L I believe it should be between 1-4. How did you go about quickly increasing your HDL ? I am vegetarian and just started on Low carb diet. My Triglycerides were up - so I also need to bring this down - thinking reducing sugar...

I misspoke I am classed as Clinically Obese(BMI >30) I just didn’t realise when I read your response. I thought it was the next category up from me(I am still getting use to all the terms). I must admit I am not a great fan of labels, I don’t always think they are helpful. If I think of myself...

No I don’t have those issues it more of a motivational thing sort of...it felt like the 3 times a day was hanging over me everyday and I don’t want to feel like that I want to feel good about doing it opposed to it feeling forced. Not sure I have explained it well...I felt better about it today...

Well done your efforts seem to have really paid off! I am so happy for you :0) Is the optimum range to be at in the 39’s or is the lower you can go the better? I am not exactly sure where I should be aiming for ideally...

I am trying to easy myself in. I noticed that I am even struggling to get myself to go out 3 times a day for the 10 mins. So today I decided to do it all in one go. I am also including it in my dog walks. This seems to feel better and now if I do want to go out later that’s a plus. :)

Thanks for the Welcome Ianspurs. What do you and others do for your HITT exercise? How you finding it ?

Thanks. I will Zuaberflote lol Yes they found if people did the 10 minutes they overall got their hearts going more(at a higher rate) than those who did 10,000 steps. The slightly raised heartbeat is where the benefit is apparently. Plus I think it helps empty the glucose stores quickly. I am...

I watched a programme about efficient ways to exercise if you didn’t like the exercise Or struggling to get yourself motivated. He said instead of doing the 10,000 steps a day to use a HIIT technique. That that is walking briskly 3 times a day for 10 minutes. Briskly means walking so you can...

No I have not I have just moved n so need to change to a local Doctors. I am hoping they have heard of the scheme and would be in favour of it and refer me so i could do it through them and the NHS. At this point I don’t know how likely that is!
