I agree with Grumpya and Joanann- this website is totally ineffective in providing the necessary information we are looking for: my husband wants to lose 2 stone and asked me how many calories are there in an orange? I don't know!Yes, we can all read the packets to find out how many calories there are in a preprepared meal- we've been doing that for years! But what about a free booklet that gives us the calories in real foods? Another page showing average calorie 'burn' in common activities, like vaccuuming the carpet/ mowing the lawn/ painting the guest room etc?Without signing up to a commercial weight loss programme? Isn't that what this website should be doing? And is anyone at the NHS actually reading these comments, or are they simply there for people to 'let off steam'?
