Could melting ice cream become a thing of the past?

Scientists at the Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee have discovered a naturally occurring protein that could enable ice creams to keep frozen for longer in hot weather. 

The protein binds together the air, fat and water in ice cream, creating a super-smooth consistency.

The protein which occurs naturally in some friendly bacteria could also be used to create ice cream with lower levels of saturated fat - and fewer calories - than at present. 

This discovery could be hugely beneficial to manufacturers, who could benefit from a reduced need to deep-freeze their products.

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS HIGH IN CALORIES DOESN’T MEAN THAT IT’S UNHEALTHY AND JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS LOW IN CALORIES DOESN’T MEAN THAT IT’S HEALTHY

Even though I’m ‘recovered’, this still hits me hard.

my monday so far has been really good!!

i lost 2kg since last week and i found an even more lowcal yoghurt option

recipe time!!

it’s my fav sweet safe food rn, it’s under 300cal and super filling!✨

you need:

150g no fat greek yoghurt (84cal)

10g of your preferred protein powder (41cal)

15g oats (54cal)

3g chia seeds (15cal)

50g of your fav fruit (30-50cal depending)

(optional): 10g granola or crunchy cereal (about 44cal)

i used raspberries and vanilla protein powder :)

1. mix the yoghurt and the protein powder so the two are combined well

2. cook the oats, chia seeds and the fruit with water together until the oats and chia seeds seem done

3. pour over the protein yoghurt and mix well

4. (optional) add granola as a topping

enjoy, i hope you like it :)

anyone ever feel like a “bad” bulimic too? like why tf am i feeling guilty about that?!?

This Is Super Fuqed Up


This whole post is literally just a pity party, I’m so sorry


But I’m working as an assistant to this athletics club for teens and kids (ikr? GREAT place for an ED sufferer to work), and I usually do that during the summers. And I’m fairly familiar with all the kids. Anyway. What’s really fucked up, is how upset I am/was about the lack of comments I got on my weight loss? (And whats fucked up is, why do I feel this way? That is SO toxic! Like I feel awful that I’m disappointed about not getting the attention I wanted. And I’m literally so sorry for that) I’ve literally hit my LOWEST WEIGHT EVER and was kind of expecting more people to comment on it… only one parent did, which made me really happy cuz she’s always been so sweet to me “oh my gosh look at you lost weight! Look at me, I lost weight too yes?” She’s ADORABLE I love her so much. But idk. I guess just the lack of attention just made me feel like I haven’t lost ENOUGH weight. Like I’m not THIN enough. Like I don’t look SICK enough.. which i know it’s so awful for me to think that way, I KNOW it’s awful to think that way, and I know it’s not valid in any sense just.. I can’t HELP it and I feel guilty about that.

And then on top of that. Another girl lost like a TON of weight, and I can tell I weigh less than her still, and the sick part of my mind is super happy about that, but, I felt overshadowed? Like. Not good enough? Like I didn’t make the impact I wanted. And that all just topped off the absolute verbal slashing that my mom gave me just before I headed out the door to head to the athletics place. Like, guys she went OFF on me, saying how I “just make everything so much harder just by being here” because I turned her fan back on for her after I was done vacuuming?????? Ummm??? Ok ‍♀️

This day just… It wasn’t what I thought it would be, even though I didn’t even realize I had expectations for it. I was ultimately going to be let down either way though, you know? because. What was I expecting? Who’s gunna just walk right up and tell me I lost so much weight, you know? I couldn’t expect people to go and do that. And.. idk, who knows… maybe I haven’t lost as much weight as I think. Like, maybe you can’t SEE it as much as I hope.

I will say though, I really appreciate the manager for realizing the anxiety my mother was giving me when she kept hovering over me while he was trying to have a private conversation with me at one point, and took it upon himself to tell my mom to go back inside. It was small but that really meant so much to me. And he also ASKED me if I felt comfortable with taking on a few extra responsibilities, where as my mother just TOLD me I was going to. It really, really meant a lot to me.

Whyyy Do I Do This


Person: Are you ok? Like, I know you like to lose weight n stuff but your cheek bones are becoming really prominent again


Me: Yes~ I’m fine, it’s just the way the suns hitting at this angle, trust me, I’m fine.
