  • Tea is drunk around the world and has been for centuries, which also including green tea. You'll be pleased to know (as you probably do) there are many great health benefits to green tea. There are many flavours being added to green teas, but I'd recommend you stick with high grade plain green tea. If you go to your local…

I recommend you stay hydrated ... drink lots of water with freshly squeezed lemon juice, change your routine .... we`re creatures of habit i.e. - sit infront of tv in the evening & out comes all sweets, candy, crisps etc.... so dont sit…

  • The untold truth is - loosing weight takes a long time. Unlike the Biggest Loser where they spend 12 -15 weeks doing nothing other than exercising for hours on end and having the meals calorie counted for them & then weekly they loose a lot of weight. But our everyday reality is - we work, we have families, we keep house…
  • I LOVE running - its my place to go ... and makes me a better person - mentally and physically. I have done many 1/2 marathons and I have also done one marathon - Vancouver, a great course. A couple of suggestions - Runtastic Ap - GPS's your route, time, cals burnt. All of this info is logged onto your acct on their…
  • Well you're back and thats great .... first hurdle down :) - stay the course, get your exercise routine happening and you'll start to feel the difference, inside and out! What is your first goal? How many calories you burn in a week from exercise, or how many cheats you allow yourself in a week? getting more sleep? - the…
  • So here's the deal. Log your food, can't say it enough. It's amazying how much we eat and really don't realize the amount of cals we have consumed - that is why logging is soooo super duper important. Secondly - it comes down to the basics of calories consumed and calories burnt. If you work on a negative - the pounds will…
  • You're in the right place - friend me if you want a buddy. Good luck! :)
  • As wierd as it sounds - you are probably not eating enough food - you should be eating your 1500 cals plus your exercise cals in a day if you are not - then your body is in starvation mode. We hear daily the whole cals in versus cals output and you need to be in a negative cals position to see the weight come off, but your…

  • if you juice and drink it straight away - you will get many of the nutrients in that veggie or fruit, which is great ! However you will be lacking fibre which seems to be a big issue in the typical north Amercian diet. Fibre is know to fight disease, keep toxins out of your body and regulate your blood sugar levels etc. So…

  • Love them. Love them. Love them. Gerat for weigh loss. I drink Chia Lemon Fresca daily - filtered water, juice of a lemon & table spoon of Chai seed - a big glass of goodness! And yes it's works wonders for keeping you regular :-) Got to be okay with 'gel' like texture though. Tons of recipes available on the web. Dr Oz…
  • I am not a RAW foodie, but I mix it into my diet on a whole. As I am sure you are aware the purpose of a RAW diet is to maximise the living nutrients within the food you are about to eat. Going RAW would require lots time and depending on how 'involved' you want to be, you would need to invest in a good dehydrator and a…
  • Dr. Joel Fuhrman who is a very big advocate for Plant Based diet - for many reasons, but mostly for your long term health (check out his PBS tv show, also on Doctor Oz last week) - but I say if you want try it, do it. Just don't make your diet 'carb' heavy or as they call it "carbatarian" - that may slow down your weight…
