    Thanks Ladies. I haven't told anyone I am on D only my trainer and hubby. I don't know if I haven't told anyone because I am ashamed to be on it or if people will say my weight loss has come from that. I don't think people realize you still need to work hard to lose weight on D. Its not a...

    Note to self never ever listen to trainer!!!!

    So silly me listened to my trainer and stopped duromine. This was only after three weeks. Lets just say it was a massive FAIL. I had thought I was doing really well as I had no sugar craving (while on duro) I never ever thought that the duro mine would be stopping the cravings. When I...

    When I am on my computer tomorrow I will put up a link to a program that has just recently been on TV. In it it talks about how for many years we have been told that butter cause cholesterol which in fact is incorrect. There has been studies done to back up their theory. A lot of low carb...

    Kate if you find it please link it for me. We do a lot of low heat frying. We cook our steak on a low heat to keep it tender. This is cooked in a mix of olive oil but butter. Also when caramelizing onions it's done on low heat with butter. We don't fry things to make them crisp. Deep frying...

    Frying itself isn't a bad thing its what you use with in that is the issue. Its all about smoke points. Use the right fat for what you are doing and you will be fine. With the high fat diet you should cook things on a lower heat to ensure the fats stay good. I don't agree that frying pans...

    High Fat Diet!!! Yes your reading that right I said HIGH FAT!

    I received my guidelines for food from my Trainer Sunday evening and to be honest I was reading it think what is this idiot talking about. How can someone with 24 years experience want me to eat like this. So I started to research and was totally amazed by the information I found. Channel 2...

    Duromine + Meal Replacement

    You sound like you have a great plan of attack and are doing well with the exercise. Just watch how you are feeling when you do the shakes. Technically shouldn't do any full on exercise because you aren't giving your body the calories it needs to do it. Just see how you go though. I only start...

    Devestation, stress and a whole bucket of emotions

    Week two My first day of week two started with a 600g gain. Not a great way to start the week. I tried not to let it play on my mind. I kept saying to myself it could be fluid or maybe a little backed up. I also received a call from my Dr saying I had to go see him as something had come up...
