Food for thought on a Friday...

Food for thought on a Friday for you: As a parent of a school age child, how many times have you had to fill a “special dietary requirements” section on a form? Every time I see: "Does your child have any special dietary requirements?" on a form this is what goes through my head: Surely the purp...

Are you looking at food through the wrong lens?

A recent client told me: “The other day I had cake at 10 pm” “How come?” I asked. “Well, I thought back on what I had to eat that day and realised it wasn't that much, so I figured I was still allowed” she replied. “We need to change your “glasses” , I said. “You are looking at f...

This morning, however, something was different. --- European supermarkets can be challenging to navigate for someone who wants to make healthy choices, but in the US - it's a whole different l...

Is red meat bad for you? A million $ question...

A client recently told me: “I never buy red meat” “Why?” I asked. “I thought red meat was bad for me”, was the answer. I hear such things often from health conscious people. They are keen to do what is best for their health. They hear something, somewhere about an aspect of nutrition and...

What happened when I underestimated the wind and what we can learn from it.

Earlier this week, I underestimated the wind when windsurfing and ended up with a smashed ribcage. Other than not being able to breathe and move without pain, nothing changed in my life. Same food, same sleep, same work, same insulin. Yet, for about 2 days after the fall, my blood sugar was running....

What happened when Mark put on a continuous glucose monitor.

Mark came to me about a month ago. Middle aged, fairly active. He complained of dips in energy and wanted to do something about that belly fat which, as he said, made him “feel heavy”. The thing you should know about Mark is that his latest blood test showed normal blood glucose and insulin leve...

Food for thought...

I had a conversation with my 17year old the other day that made me stop and think. And feel quite vindicated. He is travelling around Italy this week with school. He called one evening and we were chatting about how his day went and all the usual. Then, me being me, I asked him: “So, what did you ...

What is "shrinkflation" and could it be a good thing when it comes to your health?

"You are being lied to!" ... by Milka chocolate eggs Several Belgian papers reporting this morning how Milka chocolate eggs are not what they used to be. Apparently, you bite into your egg and it is ... kinda hollow. Consumer organisation Test Achats warns about "shrinkflation" - you pay the same fo...
