Serves 1 (2-3 oat cups)
 
Ingredients- Cookies:
1/3 cup oats
3 tbs buckwheat flour (other flours would probably be fine too)
1 tbs ground flax
Ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to taste (approx. ½ tsp each)
1 tbs agave
3-4 tbs vegan yoghurt
 

Ingredients - Filling:
3 tsp sugar free jam
3 tbs vegan yoghurt
Handful fresh fruit
 
Method
 
Mix and mash all the cookie ingredients together well to form a thick sticky ball of dough. Divide into two or three equal pieces (depending on size of muffin tin) and press into the tin to fully line each pan.
 
Cook on full powder in the microwave for 1 min or bake at 180C in the oven for approx. 10 minutes until just cooked. Allow to cool slightly before adding a dollop of sugar free jam (to compliment flavour of fruit) topped with a dollop of yoghurt. Add fresh berries or seasonal fruit to serve.
 
Whilst the cookies are cooking, chop the fruit into 1-2 cm sized chunks. Place the apple is a microwaveable bowl and cook in the microwave for 1 min Add the remaining ingredients and cook for a further 1 minutes. Mix to coat evenly.
 
Lay one cookie as a base and pile on the filing, adding the other cookie as a top. Dust with cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.

How To: Lose Weight

How To: Lose Weight
fourfeetfit.tumblr.com // @becarefulofwhatyouwish
 
Disclaimer: Before loosing weight, I highly recommend you to go to your doctor to ask if it will be healthy for you to lose weight and how much you should lose to be at a healthy weight. I am not a doctor in any way, this is the way I am loosing weight, which have been working for me.

(I have used this article for my weight loss, it is very informational.)
 
1 pound of fat = 3,500 calories. I’m sure this is something most of you have heard before. This is important to remember, especially if you’re relying on the scale to track your progress. So when the scale shows a gain of 1 or 2 pounds within one day, remember that it’s definitely not a gain of fat — rather, it’s water weight, which fluctuates daily.
Another thing to remember that most people don’t seem to realize is that you burn a certain amount of calories simply by being alive! In fact, 2/3 of the calories you ingest will go only to regulating your body temperature. This is why it’s important to make sure you’re eating enough food during the day — you want your body to have enough fuel to run efficiently.
So! The first thing you want to do is calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate, or BMR. This is the fancy name for how many calories you burn just by existing. For example, with my stats, my BMR is 1465, meaning that I burn that many calories without doing anything but breathing.
Now that you have your BMR, you can figure out how many calories you burn based on your activity level using something called the Harris Benedict Equation, called your Active Metabolic Rate, or AMR. [[NOTE: The equation assumes a normal body composition, with an average ratio of muscle mass to fat mass, so it may be inaccurate for individuals who are very muscular (the formula underestimates true requirements) or for individuals who are very fat (the equation overestimates true requirements)]] For someone like me who is lightly active, I’d multiply my BMR times 1.375, which gives me 2014. This means that I need to intake that many calories per day in order to match my daily activity level. TIP: if you’re not sure what your activity level is, round down. Most people are either sedentary or lightly active.
Now, if I want to lose weight, I’d subtract 500 from this value, giving me 1514, the number of calories I should end up with at the end of the day in order to lose weight in a healthy manner.
NOTE: This final number is NET calories, meaning that I should end up with around 1,514 calories per day, after exercise. It doesn’t mean that I should eat that many, and THEN increase the deficit further with exercise.
 
The foods that you should be eating are natural, like foods that grow off of trees and the ground. Some processed food is allowed, except it should have some nutrients.
 
You should exercise 30-60 minutes a day, that is the number that most doctors recommend. There are many ways you could exercise, like biking,jogging,swimming, and many more! I will do a set on what exercises to do.
