I’m sure many of you already know this, but here’s a gentle reminder to speak kindly to ourselves, especially when it comes to fitness and nutrition. When we say to ourselves, “I should stop eating junk food,” or “I really need to work out more,” these statements carry an undercurrent of judgment.

This year, I've been trying to lose my Covid weight. So far, I've been trying to avoid sugars and processed foods. I've also, haven't had a frozen dinner in almost ten months. I'm having difficulty when I have to eat out, and especially with the holidays. I'm afraid I might regress. I have this

I know this doesn't seem FDS related but I wanted to get some opinions on this. I feel kinda sick atm and I have a feeling it may be covid. I've had a sore throat for the past few days and I woke up with a headache and fatigue today. No fever, but i was eating my lunch today and I realized it tast

Exercising for butt post: beware, very dumb post I apologize I just need advice. Okay so I have a square butt, I'm trying to just get a rounder one so I can feel powerful over other people as a part of my levelling up process. (Sounds narcissistic I know.) People look at my butt and I've been sex

I'm deep in my personal self-improvement journey, part of it is eating more and eating healthier, and getting good cooking/kitchen habits so these things are easier to do for me. I skip meals or eat out a lot due to the hours I work, and at this point I feel a little lost trying to get back into bet

Hello ladies! Just wanted to share an amazing resource with those of you who are interested in taking a more female-centic approach to health and fitness. I've only just finished section 1 but can unequivocally say that the content is fantastic and 100% FDS aligned. Please note, I'm UK-based and

I'm tired of the fat hatred I've seen in the forum lately. Can it stop?! More and more research so showing that obesity is a disease, not a result of laziness. Poor eating habits are also often a result of poverty, calorie dense+nutrient poor foods are cheap and affordable. Whereas healthy fresh

Mid-Luteal Progesterone Is Inversely Associated with Premenstrual Food Cravings as if you needed another reason to balance your hormones... scientists speculate about the neuroprotective properties of progesterone and how they might guard women against addiction (how cool is that?). could this be

our confusion about health, diet and exercise comes from “developing in a culture that caters to men’s bodies” this podcast episode is lengthy but has some really interesting topics including: • iron and copper balance in menstruating women • metabolic safety for women—our bodies can’t heal if t

I love brewing coffee in a French Press. Recently I thought I'd experiment with putting some lavender in the coffee grounds, and I liked it! I have to figure out the best ratio though, and I'm sure the type of coffee makes a difference. I usually like an espresso roast. I was wondering if anyone

Hi ladies! I really need some support. I feel really scared. My menstruation is behaving super sus lately. It lasts longer and is more intense than usual. I did some tests and will do ultrasound tomorrow. Then I hope that my obgyn will prescribe me something to stop the bleading. Similar thing has

Hi ladies! l started using dumbbells for strength training few months back and have been really enjoying the experience and the benefits. However, I seem to not understand where I'm failing when it comes to bicep curls. I do not have a partner and do not prefer going out to public gyms for various

Hey guys, so I want to start strength training but I am kinda worried that I will adopt a bad form because I'm doing it all on my own. How do you correct for form when you're strength training? How do you adopt good form? I'd appreciate any and all help!!!

And it was all thanks to FDS! Before reading the forum, I never considered that women's only spaces could even be a thing. I have a join-quit relationship with regular gyms, mostly because I quickly get uncomfortable being there with gigantic, sweaty men staring me down. I dreaded putting on work

I’ve had so much fun this summer. For context I grew up in a household where my parents worked for 12+ hours, weekends, and important holidays like Christmas. As I grew up, I had to take on those responsibilities while doing well in school. Now, that I’m an adult that works, I have all this adult pl

Ladies I'm embarrassed to say that the first time I made soup with leek, I chopped the whole thing up, fibrous greens and all. Did you know you're not supposed to use the green part?? How was I to know?! My mother didn't cook much (or very well, bless her heart), so as a kid we mostly ate Taco Bel

How to lose weight gradually. I studied exercise science in the past and I just wanted to post this "recipe" somewhere because I can't sleep. Build muscle: muscle burns more calories at rest, it's tricky if you're poor though because that means you'll need to eat more protein and fat which costs mo

I've always had a problem with earbuds falling out my ears, a problem I suspect is due to male defaultism. My Samsung Galaxy Buds broke and now I'm looking for headphones 🎧. I'm completely done with earbuds as a whole, even the over-ear ones. Just never again lol My requirements: 1. Must fully fit

I wanted to share something positive non scrote related. Women always outshine the men in any talent show in general, Espeically America got Talent.

So I made a post on my local sub on r*ddit (bad idea in hindsight) asking if anyone knew of any local tennis coaches who would be would be offering lessons this year. I added to my post that i‘m only looking for a female coach, as I’m female myself and uncomfortable around men I don’t know. I’m ho

They are expensive so I don't want to buy them without knowing what it's like. What do they feel like against the skin? Is it comfortable, even during heavy flow? How many do you need to go through per day? How easy are they to wash and dry? Thanks in advance.

Hi ladies! I’m so excited to share with you a real hangover cure that I tested out today out of impromptu desperation. Personally I think the best way to level up is to stop drinking entirely, but sometimes when you slip up and overdo it one night what can make it so much worse is then losing the wh

Hey everyone, I hope this is okay despite not being strictly dating related but there are so many fit and healthy ladies here that I just want to try my luck. I am working on leveling up my breakfast at the moment (which is boring, unsatisfying and often a little unhealthy right now) and got a ble

What are good workouts that target the thigh, leg, and stomach area?

What supplements are you taking at the moment? Of course I try to get most of my vitamins from food, but some things I can't. I take vitamin B, a women's vitamin, and collagen (it's making a huge difference!). Occasionally I take vitamin C or Ashwaghanda I've heard good things about coQ10, I nee

Please keep in mind that activated charcoal can interfere with your medication especially those who are on birth control. Stay safe everyone!!!

I wish I stayed the B cup I was but have to admit I am a C. Need some suggestion on sports bras. Where do you buy sports bras for high impact sports? talking running, Brazilian jujitsu, jumping rope etc, and not bouncing popping out, also comfort.
