I have used musclefood.ie a lot over the past year, but just found out that they have closed their Irish Store. So I am looking for alternatives. They did a great hamper deal with Chicken Breast fillet, steak mince and rump steaks. I order this stuff in bulk and it will do the family for about 2-3 weeks. Am I back to using Lidl and Aldi or are there decent and reasonable providers out there who sell meat in bulk and deliver ..read more

Got quite a sweet tooth, and there's always chocolate bars in the office. I am quite a sucker for a coffee and a snack in the morning, so rather than it being a doughnut, croissant or the aforementioned choccy bars I've been having 2 protein bars with my coffees the last while. Don't eat breakfast, never feel like it first thing. I'm not worried about the cost, have cut back on alcohol the last year massively so that more than compensates for the approx €20 I'm spending per week on them I'm 5'8, 75kg, doing weight training 1-3 times a week, usually twice. Looking to maintain current weight. Us ..read more

I just want to share my story. I'm in my mid 40's . Like most people I know I've wanted to lose a bit weight for as long as I can remember. I've tried everything really but nothing lasted long enough to make me a stick insect. My first diet started off great I lost loads and was delighted. But after a few weeks I started having very vivid dreams about chocolate. Then one day I caved and ate a load of chocolate and crisps. That was my first ever binge. I went on and off diets like this for another 20 years. But my relationship with food became very unhealthy, I binged, exercised excessively a ..read more
