Zar – Diet download

August 26, 2012

This week, I downloaded a free meal plan from a link off Facebook. It’s one of those bikini body transformations where people have significant fat loss. I’ve seen the before and after photos and the results are quite remarkable, even in 2-3 weeks. It’s not a trick, it really does work. The diet is made [...]

Georgie – My case for the calorie counter (continued)

August 8, 2012

One of my recent favourite new discoveries is the Channel 4 show ‘Secret Eaters’ – Anna Richardson, a house full of CCTV cameras and a crew of 2 private investigators help people understand why they are struggling with their weight.  People who are overweight are watched 24 hours a day at home and out of [...]

Georgie – Not everyone loves a calorie counter!

August 2, 2012

Greetings all – it’s been lovely to have a little time off the daily grind of work (I’m doing 3 days a week at the moment as it’s non football season and LOVING a bit of time off) but that has included a bit of a break from blogging which makes me feel guilty as [...]

Zar – Five choices – Cheese

March 1, 2012

Danger, danger!! As well as having a sweet tooth, I have a fat tooth and an all round food tooth. To have a slice of cheese in a sandwich or a wrap is one thing, but put a cheese platter in front of me (or many other people) and you can put away tonnes! If [...]

Zar – New Breakfasts

February 26, 2012

It’s my favourite meal of the day. I’m not sure whether it’s because I’m a morning person or because it’s the time of the day that I eat my main serving of carbs (carbs…mmm) or because I’m greedy and I love food. I’m not that exciting with my breakfast ideas. Usually porridge or muesli. Following [...]

Every few weeks, I’ll blog about five different everyday items in different food groups so that you can see what might be good choices for you. This week, it’s fruit.

Zar – The little extras

December 11, 2011

We all get into bad habits. Popping tidbits into our mouths. Having a glass of wine every night. Biscuits for afternoon tea. If we gave up just that one thing each day, how much difference would it actually make? Here are some examples. By giving up 2 tsps of sugar in your tea or coffee, [...]

Zar – The Portfolio Diet

December 2, 2011

It’s been discovered that there’s a group of foods that can reduce your cholesterol much more effectively than just avoiding saturated fat. The group includes soy protein, nuts, oats, barley, legumes and some veggies such as eggplant and okra. By eating some items from this group every day, the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol was reduced [...]

Zar – Purple is it!!

October 27, 2011

I’ve blogged before about how eating a variety of colours of food each day can be a good way to know that you’re eating a diet that includes lots of different nutrients. The news on the street is that purple foods are the new “superfoods”. I say this tongue in cheek because I really believe [...]

Zar – It’s all in the planning

October 4, 2011

Routine during the week pretty much keeps me on the straight and narrow as far as my diet and exercise go. What can really screw me (and a lot of people up) is the weekend. It’s been a glorious long weekend here. A real chance for some R & R and a real opportunity for [...]
