It’s funny how resistant people can be to organic food, thinking it’s not much different to non organic food. Well I beg to differ. In my latest article for Natural Health magazine I look at the pros and cons. I’ve been walking the organic path for a long time now and in the early days it was a lonely one …
The subject of this article (first published in Natural Health magazine) is a very important aspect of my book The In-Sync Diet written with nutritionist Fleur Borelli. Who would have known that drinking water incorrectly or not having enough of it can actually make you fat? But as Fleur explains it (based on very recent and new information) when we …
This is my first column written for Natural Health magazine. These are some useful and practical tips on how to damage limit the effects of all that eating and drinking over the holidays. By making a few adjustments it’s entirely possible to start the new year not feeling that you need to go on a massive diet!
The information on how best to eat has changed radically in the last few years. After being demonised for decades, fat is now known to be vital to our well being and surprisingly not only doesn’t make us fat, but helps with weight loss.

But what’s the difference between coconut oil …
This is probably the hardest part of any diet or fitness program. When you lose the focused, determined mindset and get back to regular living. I, of course, made it particularly hard for myself by going on holiday the minute I finished bootcamp. This meant that as well as all of the food and drink temptation, I also didn’t work …
I’m going to be honest, I only started all this so that I could fit into my favourite trousers again and so that I’d look half decent in my summer gear! Then of course, I got Fleur and Rhys involved and oh boy did they take it seriously. Before I knew what hit me, they took away all my …
Boots schmoots! I feel firmly in the skinny pants, skimpy T shirt, skirt with heels camp! What bliss to have my clothes fit again. I do feel I’ve really earned it after being so disciplined and my only concern now is keeping it this way. Two weeks to go but will definitely be asking both Fleur and Rhys for a …
