27/2/2020

0 Comments

​I often get asked about intermittent fasting, usually by women wanting to know whether it would be helpful for them in their quest to lose weight. 
​

My answer is usually the same; yes, it can be very helpful, but there are different ways to do it, and some generally suit women more than others.

What's the Real Cause of MidLife Spread?

12/11/2019

Ladies, when we hit our late 30’s, 40’s and into our 50’s, midlife weight gain is real and affects many of us. 
 
But beyond the typical concerns about what we look like, and our feelings around that, there is a much more important issue to consider. The fact that this type of fat gain is unhealthy!

I work with lots of professional and business women. They come to me for all sorts of issues including inability to lose weight, gut issues, menstrual cycle issues, tiredness, low mood, disillusionment, wanting to get their 'mojo back, feeling stuck in some aspect of their life ... the list goes on.

What On Earth Should I Eat?!

7/6/2018

One question I get asked time and again is "What should I actually be eating?" or "What is the ideal balanced diet?" So I thought I'd write something to try to give you a good broad idea of what a good balanced diet looks like, to me. I say 'to me' because there are many schools of thought on this, but this is what makes most sense to me.

Who Am I to Coach People with Weight Loss & Eating Issues?

8/5/2018

This is a question that has crossed my mind many times, and especially recently…
“Who are you to coach people to lose weight and/or help with eating issues?” 
I was having some coaching recently from a business coach called Ankush Jain, and this question arose. I explained that because I have never had big weight loss challenges in my life, I sometimes feel that I’m an imposter… His answer, and the subsequent chat that followed, was both enlightening and eye-opening. My personal journey of self-discovery had another chapter to be written.

Eating Out the Low GL Way...

So unsurprisingly, this was the topic that was chosen by an overwhelming majority in one of my recent groups when I ran a poll, so I decided to turn it into a blog post too, so more people could benefit from it… 

Often we make great choices at home, or even when at work, because we are making things ourselves. But eating out is a different ball game as you can't quite be sure what is in things (and who wants to be the person asking the waiter for the ingredients list and nutrient breakdown for each dish!)
​So with that in mind, here are some tips for making better choices when going out:

Why is Blood Sugar Balance SO Important?

6/1/2017

Picture
I know, I know, I talk about this A LOT! My clients will vouch for this but it’s with good reason. Why? Because it is so fundamental to how we feel! It’s fundamental to good health and without it we can’t be truly healthy. And when we understand the concept, and start to make changes to the way we eat, and drink (!), we feel SO much better. Add to this the fact that we naturally lose excess weight, the healthy way. Our body loves us for it!

Why do so many of us lack Vitamin D?

14/11/2016

It is estimated that a huge % of the UK population are deficient in Vitamin D. It is also estimated that the pandemic of Vitamin D deficiency affects one billion people worldwide and is getting worse but no-one is entirely sure as to why. There are various theories including the fact that we are spending more time indoors and when we do go outside into the sun, we are slathering ourselves in sunscreen. Whatever the reason, there are things that we can do to help raise our levels.

Turmeric... Super Spice!

​If you’re interested in health and nutrition (and let’s face it, you wouldn’t be on my blog if you weren’t just a little bit), you have no doubt noticed a lot more mentions, recipes and articles about turmeric.  As the medicinal and healing properties of this wonder spice are re-discovered (I say RE-discovered because the amazing benefits of turmeric have been known by naturopaths for thousands of years) it is only fairly recently that science has started to also appreciate its enormous and wide-ranging health benefits.

​QUINOA. No one is quite sure how to pronounce this ancient grain that originated in South America, but I’m assured the correct pronunciation is Keen-wah. Whether it’s Keen-wah, Qwinoah or whatever else you want to call it, one thing is for sure; it’s a great food to incorporate into your diet!

Sugar Craving Cure - Cacao Almond Smoothie

15/7/2015

0 Comments

 
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tbsp Cacao Powder
  • 200 ml Almond Milk (I use this one from Rude Health which doesn't contain any nasties like carneejan. If you have nut allergies, they do a great Oat Milk too). 
  • 1/2 Banana
  • 1 Medjool date
  • 1 tbsp Chia Seeds (for an Omega 3 hit and great protein)
  • 1 tbsp plain, unsweetened Whey Powder for some extra protein (I use Pulsin Whey) - Optional
Simply chuck these all into a blender (the Nutri-bullet is so easy if  you have one), blend for up to a minute and that's it. The combination of carbs from the banana, almond milk and date, with the good fat from the chia seeds and the protein from the milk, whey and chia, will slowly be absorbed without sending blood sugar sky high. And the cacao gives is a great anti-oxidant hit, and a delicious chocolatey flavour. 
Hope you enjoy
