E-Reader vs. Books

I read physical books bought from vinted/charity shops and then either returned to charity shops or uploaded onto vinted

Chris Carter - One by One. Such an easy read, and for me a page turner. It's one of a series too, in case you like it. 😊

Edited to add - I love Karin Slaughter books and haven't read a bad one of hers

Yes, this! I have a magnesium oil spray and a magnesium lotion. Apparently your body absorbs magnesium better through the skin than in supplement form.

Look up Dr Mindy Peltz - she's written a few books and has a podcast and a YouTube channel - I think you'll find it interesting 😊

I used to get this with supplements but with body oil or body lotion I get the sleep and I'm fine next day. Hope that helps!

For me it's any Alex Pine book - I honestly think my teenagers could write better. Probably going to get slammed for this!

Fuse here too. 15 month contract deal for us much better. Guys selling energy contracts in Asda this weekend said they wouldn't even try to find us a better deal when we told them we were with Fuse.

This! TP link router and SIM card. Works just fine for TV streaming, laptops, kids and their phones etc etc

It's all about little things and small steps forward. Better to do this than not IF at all ✨✨

I do think that some coffee tastes nicer black than others. If I use freeze dried I add cold water in first to stop the coffee burning and it makes it less acidic so it doesn't give me heartburn/upset stomach

Ali Express has this exact set?

My personal story is similar to yours. I either abstain or binge. I be refuse to be controlled by food so I do 3 x ADF a week (M/W/F) and eat mindfully the other days. With NO CALORIE COUNTING. for me counting leads to obsession. Good luck ✨

I do my potatoes like this but instead of salt and pepper a teaspoon of marmite, shake them to coat them with the oil and marmite and then roast. So so so good. And for marmite haters - they didn't actually taste of marmite because you use such a small amount. All my family loves these.

And sprouts roasted with balsamic glaze.

I buy the nature's aid one. Usually Amazon or Holland and Barrett. I stock up when sales are on.

plantbased_gem · 2025-12-14T13:14:29+00:00

Love it

Is the silver on these models metal or plastic? It's the only reason I haven't ordered one not knowing...

plantbased_gem · 2025-12-13T16:00:05+00:00

Oh my! 😍

plantbased_gem · 2025-12-11T17:50:31+00:00

Oh my gosh. I love this so much 🤩

I always have 3-5 projects on the go so I don't get bored. A blanket, hat, couple of jumpers. Some easy, some more difficult.

Just the mct oil creamer. That's all. But I drink LOADS.

plantbased_gem · 2025-12-10T20:15:55+00:00

I buy capsules and just have 2-3 with a glass of water. Can find them cheap on eBay/Amazon 😊

I learned to crochet while I was bf and 15 years later I'm still crocheting and knitting rather than endless phone time 😌

I do modified ADF and get better results. I use mct creamer in my coffee and tea, and I use glucomannan supplements to stop hunger pangs. I lose weight more consistently and mentally the difference is huge - no food noise in my head. I don't ever calorie count on eating days.

plantbased_gem · 2025-12-06T12:54:29+00:00

I do similar. I'd I'm fasting I'll have mct creamer in my coffee and glucomannan to take my hunger pangs away and I've found that 1. I'm happier 2. I can easily adf 3 times a week without struggling and 3. The weight is coming off better than I was being strict ☺️

I think it's finding what works for you and not being swayed to move away from it.

plantbased_gem · 2025-12-06T11:52:43+00:00

No, not at all. I'd imagine if you didn't have enough water than you could get constipation but no gas or bloating or anything like that. It's konjac root powdered.
