Log in / Register STRESS ? Stress is when we have an imbalance between demands and our ability and resources to cope this these demands. Stress comes in all different shapes and size – be it hitting every red light on the way to work, all the way up to significant life events such as illness, employment, and finances. Stress affects our body – it makes us release all sorts of chemicals to help us try and cope. While this can be helpful in the short-term, too much stress can cause cardiovascular problems ?, weaken our immune system ?, and cause concentration and memory problems ?

Hi everyone,
There is a wealth of evidence to suggest the benefits of both eating or skipping breakfast (known as intermittent fasting). If you are someone that does like to eat breakfast, eating protein-rich foods will leave you feeling fuller for longer. This will help keep off the hunger and cravings and make it easier for you to keep to a calorie deficit. ?
