My name is Lina and I am a courgette addict. There you go, I said it.... So, Courgette Eaters Anonymous have helped me through this rather dark period in my life. It's been three weeks since I have been able to find any courgettes in my local farmers markets or supermarkets. I know, I know, … Continue reading Veg shortage, let’s get creative…

HI PROTEIN
I recently posted an article on the benefits of protein in your diet. As I mentioned in that post, proteins are the building blocks of our bodies. They are particularly important for building muscle which is why we should incorporate protein in every meal. No, no, no! That's doesn't mean steak for breakfast lunch and … Continue reading HI PROTEIN
Summer Body Diet… WTF
Beach Body Ready Diet, Wobble to Model (yes it's true!) Bikini Body Diet, LBD Diet, Wedding Day Slim. Is it any wonder that women feel so insecure about their bodies??? Our bodies should be "ready" all year round. A bikini ain't just for summer and a LBD is not just for special occasions. Anyone can … Continue reading Summer Body Diet… WTF
PORTION CONTROL
In my most humble opinion, I believe the biggest mistake made by us mere mortals is the inability to determine the correct portion size required for your meals and snacks. This is more often the reason why we end up piling on the pounds. This particularly seems to be true of women who, generally, end … Continue reading PORTION CONTROL
I ❤️ FOOD
For those of you that don't know, I am of Italian descent and being Italian meant that food was and still is an integral part of my everyday life. If I am not eating it, I am thinking about it, talking about it or creating it. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than feeding others, a … Continue reading I ❤️ FOOD

Ok, ok so the truth is out! Yes I do have a slight obsession with raspberries, something that may have come across on some of my recent Instagram posts. Raspberry chia jam, porridge topped with frozen raspberries, freeze dried raspberries, raspberry compote, chocolate fudge with raspberry, protein muffins with raspberries and so it goes on … Continue reading Raspberry Lover

ABS
Unfortunately there are no shortcuts to getting rid of your party pack and gaining a six pack. Toned strong abs don't come from hours crunching , planking or doing endless sit ups. Abs will however, reveal themselves when you follow a few simple rules. Cut out the c**p in your diet, burgers, chips, cheese, vino, … Continue reading ABS
PRICE CRUNCH BULLS**T
The great supermarket con! Price crunch, buy one get one free. Simply a ploy to encourage us to impulse buy more than we need. Have you ever stopped and noticed that these deals are never on quinoa, brown rice, salad bags or anything remotely healthy! You won't see these deals in daily essentials like toilet … Continue reading PRICE CRUNCH BULLS**T
POO NOT JUST FOR WINNIE..”
Not everyone is comfortable talking about it but let's face it, we all poo. It's a natural human bodily function, so why is it such a taboo subject? The fact that we don't talk about this topic means that so many of us suffer in silence. Constipation or irregular bowel movements can cause misery, pain … Continue reading POO NOT JUST FOR WINNIE..”
