I read an article recently and they said you should watch your saturated fat intake as this can increase cholesterol levels.

The Asda unsweetened soya milk with nothing added is vegan but the unsweetened with calcium and vitamins isn't as it has D3 in it.

I stand in the store and ring on my mobile!

I've just bought the Natex and think it is absolutely foul. I can't face trying it again and now have a jar of it sat in my cupboard!!

I appreciate your reply was not necessarily aimed at me but coming straight after my post I felt it was necessary to just say that I spend my life excusing other people's bad behaviour by putting...

I don't have a relationship with my father. Apparently he spent a lot of time with me when I was very small and adored me. However after that he was at work all the time, never took holidays. What...

Hi Kevin2

I have 2 cats, when I was vegetarian they ate meat - I didn't know about alternatives. They received tinned and dry food. They threw up a lot due to bolting the canned food and so we...

There is another theory that dogs are an off-shoot from wolves, that hung around human villages to scavenge and the braver ones were more successful as they got more food and so slowly became...

Hi philfox - it sounds like you've got a good plan. Let us know how you get on. I know what you mean about the calorie allowance. I'm sticking to around 1600 calories although it is a bit higher...

That's lovely that you are adopting a cat - please find out what she is eating at the moment and get some of that, feed her on it for a few days while she settles in and then slowly mix in some of...

I have loads of different animals and think cats are definitley the easiest to look after - we have litter trays to clean out and topup their (vegan cat biscuits) when their dish is low and a once a...

Hi Philfox

I am trying to lose weight and am finding putting what I eat into fotday really helps as I can see exactly what is in what I am eating and it is becoming clear to me which meals are...

I'm pretty sure the Pure margarine specifically states that it does not contain hydrogenated fat.

Hi Foxytina - thanks for that. I actually ended up having something else and was able to guess at amounts!

When do you get your test results back? I hope it is soon so that you don't have to...

Hi

I am inputting all my food onto Fitday at the moment so that I can track calories and in this way eat sensibly and lose weight. I only started this week but so far it is working and I have...

Hi

Please understand that people are only making suggestions that you can take or leave there was probably confusion as in one of your posts you said:

but yet i again, i have a problem...

I don't see why not - a few salad creams are vegan but i would check the ingredients first just in case.

I have been feeling really low, am fighting off depression and so have not been eating well which really doesn't help. Last week i pledged to make an effort to eat better and so far have been doing...

Sorry to hear you are still feeling ill Foxy, hope you feel better soon.

I ate reasonably sensibly yesterday, went to the local shop and they had loads of reduced fruit and veg which was great, I...

cedarblue - to be able to skip for 10 mins is brilliant - or at least it impresses me anyway - I tried it and can only do about 50 skips before I am out of breath and my head is throbbing. It seems...

I didn't get into my trousers comfortably - had to buy a new pair but managed to get a size 14 not a 16. Some of the 14scouldn't do up but these I could.

Sadly I didn't get the job.

Exactly my thoughts Dancingwillow!

I'm so sorry you had to make such a hard decision for your cat friend and that people could criticise you for it. You did your best in difficult circumstances and at the end of the...

I have my interview on Thursday and tried on the trousers I was planning on wearing. Oooops, rather tight. I am eating less and trying to get a bit more exercise in, in the hopes that they will be...

It does make me cross that the government think they should get extra money just cos you are putting it in your car instead of eating it!

It also makes me cross that there is all this talk of it...

Wow - well done Foxytina - I have read many times that energetic housework is as good as exercise and it certainly sounds like you are doing lots and varied stuff too.

I shall be doing a lot on...

Hello

I had a bad week cos of coming off anti-depressants and all sorts but I have only put on 1.2 pounds which isn't so bad. I am back on the wagon and as hubby is back with the kids for a week...

Do you think you are depressed? I feel like this most of the time - everything feels like hard work and is a struggle, even nice things - I suffer from low level depression. Are you getting any...

Me too Sandra.

I just get really tired of constantly trying and never doing enough and yet making more effort and paying out more than everyone else and being more hard up and more fed up than everyone else and...

I'm so pleased with myself - I cooked and made a moussaka that will last for at least 3 days!!! And a sweet potato soup that I can have for lunch and will last me for days. This is all virtually fat...

Hi Sindii I have been trying to do this but I get lazy and don't - however the other night hubby and I took the dogs on a street walk to find somewhere I need to go today and I realised that we walk...

Hi Treehugga

My exercise is pretty limited which is not helping but I find it very hard to motivate myself and have never found ANY exercise that I actually like doing, thereby finding it very...

I am fed up - Last week on Sunday I weighed myself and I had lost 3.5 pounds and was down to 11 stone 6.6 pounds and was well chuffed. I was 11 stone 13 to start with, about a month ago. I have had...

I watched that bit of Countryfile, it was the first thing I saw when I came downstairs from my lie in and put me in a bad mood for quite a bit of the day.

Hello

Haven't posted for a while. At the beginning of last week I lost 3 pounds which i was really pleased with. I didn't have a good week last week, eating wise and weighed myself yesterday...

Thanks Josh, I live in the UK so I don't if there is anything available in the UK as I would imagine shipping costs to the UK would be pretty bad.

Thanks

Hi Josh

OK - I have stopped taking my multi vits. But don't know what to do now. Do you think I need a supplement and can you advise a good one if so. Unfortunatley my husband has just had a...
