There are a lot of suggestions of what we should eat, what we shouldn’t eat and what we should perhaps, maybe eat (but only if it has a pinch of seaweed on it). These things are generally dubbed “diets” and are equally generally incredibly misleading. What seems to have stuck around as a guide is […]
…but not of the candy kind! I think you might have guessed that though. Anyway, one of the most common questions I get is about who my health-heroes are. So today I thought I’d share some of my own personal health gurus with you. People that inspire me, people who get my nutrition and health […]
I promise. It will be a short post today. Short, but valuable. Whatever the reason is that you currently don’t have a kitchen to make your usual, incredibly healthy and nutritious home cooked meals in; you’ll still need to eat. And preferably keep up the healthy habits you’ve worked so hard to maintain. So whether you’re […]
Sometimes life is just not what you thought it would be. You haven’t reached or achieved what you thought you would have by now, there’s something that drags you down or maybe an autoimmune issue is blossoming, keeping you from doing things you want and have to do. At times like these, self motivation doesn’t […]
Recently, whilst visiting a restaurant (fine, it was date night with my husband), I did something ridiculously stupid. Something so dumb I wanted to punch myself a little afterwards. I should have known better, especially considering what I do for a living… I should have asked what, exactly, was in the “basil crust” on the […]
A word of warning: this is not a positive blog post. If you’re looking for a pick-me-up from me today, stop reading right now. Because this is real, unapologetic and potentially annoying to some. You’ve been warned. I need to motivate myself out of a major rut right now. I just want to give […]
I’ve been there countless times before. And so have you, I bet. That second it takes for all your motivation to just run off of you, leaving you feeling tired, hopeless and in a general state of “why bother”-ness. Motivation, you little rascal, why can’t you just stay put and be my life long partner, […]
I have to be honest here. I didn’t come up with this completely on my own. I got the idea from one of my friends, when I went to her house for a big dinner. (Thanks Jen!) But I’ve developed it a bit further! Some of you have asked for this recipe on different social […]
I get a lot of questions from you. And I truly appreciate that. Please, for the love of everything holy, keep them coming! So I thought I’d help others that may have the same question by answering some of them here on my blog. We’re going back to basics here, y’all. As a summary of […]
One of the questions I get a lot is “what foods should I avoid?” The concept of avoiding food is technically nothing I’m a fan of, as that would make it a diet (shrug) and not a way of eating. But this list makes a comprehensive summary of foods I rather leave alone, and would […]
