    Extra vitamins

    I was told by a nutritionist that the body can only absorb what it needs, any extra vitamins and minerals over the 100% rda will only be expelled by the body so save your money and treat yourself to some lovely hair care products.

    can you eat too many carbs at once

    Hi, the answer is no, you have three packs a day, 21 a week and it's all counted out so you could theoretically scoff all 21 in a day so long as you didn't have anything for the rest of the week. Don't worry how when or where, just have your packs when you're ready to. I often have a...

    What to wear to flatter me?

    Hi, not sure what the Gok would say but why not treat yourself to a personal shopper in Debs or somewhere, they're free, will tell you exactly what to wear and you don't have to buy anything, they're really useful and it will be a lovely non food treat xx

    Exante, the lazy diet

    I've been sat here thinking how lazy this diet is. We have not points to count and more importantly remember, no syns to add up, no food to weigh, no lightly grill this or steam that, we don't have to take a tight rein on our portions. Thank goodness for lazy girl diets, with all this...

    Motivation for those wondering whether to do Exante

    Yes, feel like someone has deflated me a bit, I can feel it round my ribs under my boobage. Nobody has noticed anything yet, lost another eight this week and I'm really noticing it now. The place you most want to lose from will be the last place to go though, that's the law of dod
