I discovered a delicious ‘raw’ nutella slice at a cafe across the road from my little boy’s swimming lessons. So guess where we go every week after swimming? Yep. I love me some of that nutella slice. And the thing is – it is laden with goodness knows what, a pile of chocolate, coconut and […]

I just enjoyed a lovely slice of lemon syrup cake, baked by yours-truly… for my husband on Father’s Day – yum! I love all things lemon… Oh! And chocolate! All things chocolate too 😉 And it’s taken years as a nutritionist to get my food loves and my love of healthy eating straight in my […]

Nutritionists aren’t perfect. Including me. I know… shocking right? My journey from food-horrors to food-happiness has been quite spectacular (if I do say so myself, ahem). At my lowest point I would binge on sugary foods, hide chocolate wrappers in rubbish bins, put food in the freezer to stop myself eating it, throw food in […]

“Wow I feel amazing today! I think I’ll go on a diet.” Now THAT… is a phrase you’ll never hear a dieter say. Why? Because dieting is ALWAYS preceded by dissatisfaction with your body or life. It’s more a case of – argh! I hate the way I look, I hate my thighs – I’m […]
