Where have you seen oat flour? Would save me a lot of moaning (about rooting out the blender which is convienently stored at the back of a press) if I could buy some.
myprotein.co.uk and bulkpowders both sell it as far as I know.0 -

Current weight 76 kg, BF ~10%. The site told me "You'd weigh 81.8 kg in 5 weeks" :eek: But I'm eating similar way since weeks and my weight is quite stable around 76kg
Not too sure what to think about it...
You have to take some of what MFP tells you with a pinch of salt. It's really good for guidance, but that's all it is. I quite enjoy the social aspect of it too though as I find that people around me don't wanna hear me go on and on about my little healthy-eating rants, so I can do it there to people who might actually listen The success stories are great for when you're lacking motivation too. 0 -

So I was talking to someone today who does applied kinesiology (yeah, I got done with vitamin testing, it was free/charity) apparently I need magnesium and a strong antioxidant/detox(hate that word! and damn you ben and jerry! I had a clean diet before you brought out your core flavours) but I was talking to her for absolutely ages, she told me I should get into a career in a health area(she knows I've no job at the moment)
It was one of the more interesting conversations I've had in ages, mostly because if I start talking about IT bands people I know think I'm talking about computers and if I talk about flora being bad for you and real butter being good people just look at me as they spread flora on their bread. It was nice to talk to someone who ate real food even if I didn't completly agree with them, at least they understood where I was coming from.
I also bought cacao nibs(before she said about the antioxidants) I'm just eating them from the pack:o I've mince in the fridge gonna do a chilli tomorrow and add some in. Also going to make transforms bars and add them in. Got a free sample of solgar 'whey to go' too, 34g serving 127kcal 20g protein, 10g of carbs, 9g of them is sugar, I'll stick to myprotein.
I've also bought rhubarb and I've no idea what to do with it that doesn't involve loads of sugar. Was thinking of baking it with berries and doing a crumble with rice flour and coconut
Also bought fenugreek seeds, don't know what to do with them either but I've come across lots of recipes with it.0 -

http://www.newswise.com/articles/new-evidence-on-effects-of-green-coffee-beans-in-weight-lossParticipants lost an average of 17 pounds during the 22 weeks of the study. It included an average of a 10.5 percent decrease in overall body weight and a 16 percent decrease in body fat. Vinson noted that weight loss might have been significantly faster, except that participants received the placebo and the lower dose of green coffee extract for part of the study period.
Really impressive weight loss, like seriously, this thing outperforms amphetamines. Bet you a tenner it causes liver damage of some sort.

I've ditched melatonin for causing mild depression, all the articles I've read online say that "studies" found no link between them, but 99% of the comments to these article were from people that had an adverse effect. Scientific studies > anecdotal evidence? not in this case

I believe you. I tried melatonin, made me sooo groggy the next day. The I reminded myself it was a hormone and your body puts a huge amount of effort into keeping hormones balanced for probably very good reasons. Hormonal imbalance leads to cancer in some cases. People who worked constant night shifts for KLM successfully sued stating that it was a direct contributor to their breast cancer. Melatonin and oestrogen are tightly linked so I think it makes plausible biological sense.
There are negative trials for melatonin I came across somewhere, plus a bunch of anecdotal stories of weight gain and depression. Melatonin is not as well studied as it should be.
I think there's good reason for the fact that it's prescription only in this country.0 -

My recipe can be adapted to your fresh I'm sure
Rhubarb & Strawberry Crumble (Sugar & wheat free)
In a microwave/ovenproof baking dish mix equal quantities of frozen strawberries & frozen rhubarb. Microwave on high for 10 mins so the fruit is cooked through. In a saucepan mellt hallf a tablespoon of coconut oil, stir in equal quantities (approx 1 cup measure) of ground almonds, walnut pieces, and dessicated coconut.
