thank youI found it really hard too at first! Just go at a nice slow steady pace, don’t push yourself too much. There were plenty of times where I couldn’t quite run for as long as they told me to. It gets easier and you learn to control your breathing while running! I always have a banana or something before I go for a run to give me a bit of a boost!
I have lo dough pizzas quite regularly, I’ve always managed to get away with not covering the whole base in cheese by making sure it’s all covered in a light coating of passata. When I say light I mean like 2.5-3 dessert spoons of it spread across the whole base.Oh interesting to hear! Thank you!
I'll give it a go but they're not expensive so won't stress if they're not too nice! The sweetness shouldn't be too much of a problem but hope I can cook it without it burning! I grate my cheese very finely as you get more for the weight so I'll see how it goes!!
I'll keepin mind about the cake bar haha! I'm looking at the brownie mix but reviews are mixed. I'll see how the pizza goes first!!
Haha I feel you. Sometimes I just go get comfy in bed and laziness beats snackinessI can’t have dinner too early or the danger zone just moves to the eveninglast week I got out on a walk for a little while to distract me but bloody storm Christoph is putting stops to all those plans didn’t do anything today and didn’t have the urge to go and eat everything in the cupboard so maybe it’s just a getting used to it kind of thing
I had wee look at them, looks like they're made with konjac, I think that's the same as the low kcal noodles. I find them quite chewy with quite a lot of bite. Not horrendous but weird texture. What's it like with the pizza base? Is the texture nice?I have lo dough pizzas quite regularly, I’ve always managed to get away with not covering the whole base in cheese by making sure it’s all covered in a light coating of passata.

Yes! The hardest thing for me to get used to every time I cut is the idea of feeling 'not hungry' rather than 'full' because they're so different and whenever I'm eating loads I get "not hungry" confused with "hungry need to eat"! Its like unless I'm actually full I need to eat to feel full again, which isn't the case at all reallyThree full days of counting calories. I wouldn't say I'm physically hungry but I'm very aware of how much I was overeating or eating for the sake of it and I'm really trying to adjust to the new amounts of food. If I'm bored or I have a headache I have to just sit with that feeling and ride through it rather than eating which is a new sensation for me.
Using as a pizza base is probably the nicest texture they have. Uncooked is not a pleasant texture (and they do have a strange smell). I also used them for burritos (with turkey mince stuffing) but as I said you must be careful because they can burn easily. The top went crispy but the rest was quite spongy.I had wee look at them, looks like they're made with konjac, I think that's the same as the low kcal noodles.

This was one of my issues with slimming world (esspecially the instagrammers) and their syn-free cakes made out of quark and several cups of sweeteners. I'd rather just have a small bit of cake.I’ve decided that with most low fat or low carb options, I’d rather have less of the real thing otherwise you’re using up calories for something you don’t really like.
I’m currently doing WW as it’s worked for me in the past, but got massively derailed by lockdown and ate/drank like there was no tomorrow.

Ooo good to know! May try it out, I'll try everything once and if it's nice to me then even better haha.Using as a pizza base is probably the nicest texture they have.

I used to do slimming world and I hated it. My mum is obsessed with it and tbf she has lost a lot of weight but she doesn't do all that daft stuff with sweetener. I think she likes it for the socialisation.I’m currently doing WW as ...
I’ve not tried Slimming World although I know some people are evangelical about it. I couldn’t get my head around the types of food that you could have unlimited amounts of (like pasta, rice and potatoes) because I don’t think I would lose weight without reining in my portion control, particularly with carbs.
Hope you’re okayToday started off well but is wrapping up on a not so high note haha. Had a filling breakfast (one fried egg, half a slice of wholegrain bread, 5-6 halves of walnuts and a piece of cheese with tea), didn't snack in the morning at all and had some breaded chicken with pasta for lunch. Chicken was leftover and it was the size of my palm and pasta was around 160 gr (weighed it for the first time!) which is probably more than I needed but hey ho. However I had an ED relapse, I'll spare you the details. After feeling shit about life for a while, I had dumplings and yogurt for dinner and some almonds and chocolate covered pistachios for a snack. To get my mind out of its funk, I did this workout and feeling better for it! Now I'm drinking water and not planning to eat until tomorrow morning when I'm hungry for breakfast again. I will make myself some herbal tea though. The workout was surprisingly better than I expected i.e. more demanding, I thought I'd be bored out of my mind but towards the end of the fast pace part, I was feeling it.
Hope you're having a good day!
I find this too! Sometimes can go hours later if it’s my first meal of the day, but once I’ve had that, sometimes it can seem like an age until dinner!!I've been noticing that I'm feeling fine (a bit hungry but fine) before lunch then crap in the afternoon. The other day I didn't have time to have lunch at work and I felt absolutely fine
Thank you, I'm okay now! Hope the workout will be okay for you, it's still walking but because you're not moving from your spot too much I didn't find it puts too much weight on my ankle (which is also dodgy). xHope you’re okay
thanks for recommending the workout, I was looking for something to do tonight because I’ve really hurt my ankles skipping earlier in the week so this looks ideal.
Hope you’re okay! Managing to do exercise and shake yourself out of a funk is a massive massive win so make sure you give yourself credit for it!Today started off well but is wrapping up on a not so high note haha.

I did okay on slimming world (lost two stone before putting it back on since lockdown 1) but I think that's because I had a lot of weight to lose so eating at least one third speed kept me under my TDEE easily. If someone is looking to lose one stone to get to target I think they'd struggle on the plan.I’ve not tried Slimming World although I know some people are evangelical about it.
