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.

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
COCO – NUT
If there is such a thing, I am definitely a Coco-Nut. A slight obsession of mine and I simply can't get enough of it. Coconut, for those of you that don't know (where have you been???) is so versatile and has so many uses. You may have seen from my posts, I buy a super … Continue reading COCO – NUT
ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL…
Whilst the government are doing their best to encourage us to eat healthily and be more active, some of the information guidelines are rather antiquated and seem to apply a "one size fits all" kinda of thinking.

CRUCIFEROUS VEG
Love them or hate them, they are the superheroes of the vegetable aisles. Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, kale, bok choi, cabbage, radish, turnips, broccoli and arugula some of the verb you should try and incorporate into your diet. They are high in antioxidants, low in calorie meaning you get more bang for your buck. They are … Continue reading CRUCIFEROUS VEG
NUMBERS, JUST NUMBERS…
We get so wrapped up and focused on the readings of our bathroom scales when we start our fitness journey, that we lose sight of what is important. It's soooooo much better to be strong than skinny. Strong, toned, feminine beautiful curves over a skinny soft body wins every time for me but above all … Continue reading NUMBERS, JUST NUMBERS…
FOOD REVOLUTION
I am always amazed at the variety of foods that are now readily available in supermarkets and health food shops.
