7 Days of Protein Packed Breakfast Smoothies

If there’s one thing I learned from my Breakfast experiment last year, it was that a protein packed breakfast will keep you full much longer than anything else. For a long time I wasn’t a breakfast eater as I found I got hungry quicker if I ate first thing, but recently I’ve discovered that eating

Indigo Herbs Recipe Challenge

I’m not normally a fan of challenges involving food, because they’re normally of the “eat a whole cow in 10 minutes and get it free” variety, but I took part in this one because it was a little different! Indigo Herbs are a small family run company based in Glastonbury, and they wanted to send

Another Week in Food

Back in October I posted my food diary for the week. The idea was to get an idea where my diet was falling down, and where it could be improved to help me with my fitness goals, and with my weight loss goals. I felt I ate far too much processed food, and set myself

4 Fitness Habits You’ll Never Catch Me Doing (and 3 I Plan to Try)

Yeah I know, never say never, I mean just 2 years ago I’d have laughed in your face if you’d told me I’d be running a Half Marathon at all, let alone gearing up to start training for my second, and if you’d told me in April last year that I’d be spending a large

The Big Breakfast Challenge

One of my biggest challenges eating properly is still going away a lot and staying in hotels. It’s not only the struggle to eat well while you’re away, but also the limited time at home making it very difficult to get organised for meals at home. I’m working on it, and eventually I’ll find the

Dealing with Christmas….

I suppose I have to face up to the approach of Christmas and inevitable weight gain it brings. In years past I’ve managed to gain as much as half a stone over Christmas, other years it’s just been a couple of pounds. The entire interweb is awash with articles telling you how to not gain

Healthy Eating at the Hotel Breakfast Buffet

Even though all the research says you really must eat breakfast, as people who eat breakfast are slimmer, healthier and altogether more wonderful people, I’ll confess I never used to bother. I was never really hungry first thing in the morning, a cup of coffee and maybe a mid morning herbal tea was normally all

The Problem with Portions

One of my biggest healthy eating problems, especially as a frequent traveller, is with portion sizes. It’s not how much food you put on your plate, but how much other people are putting on there for you. I’m a firm believer in moderation in all things. I think the quickest way to give up on
