GEORGIE – More sugar sickly sweetness

August 31, 2010

Following on from Zar’s blog last night about sugar – just a few observations really… Firstly you might previously have heard me mention the Paleo Diet – also known as the Caveman Diet… a food programme I am a big fan of.

ZAR- Sweet Sweet Sugar

August 30, 2010

I’m reading a really interesting book at the moment; “The Sweet Poison Quit Plan” by David Gillespie. It is a sequel to his book “Sweet Poison: Why sugar makes us fat”. It is an eye-opening read and I’m sure I’ll have to read it at least twice to get some of the more scientific points [...]

ROSIE – Depression – or just the blues?

August 29, 2010

Sorry, this is not a light and hearty blog today, it’s a subject that the Bingham Girls are holding rather close to their hearts at the moment… and I thought it was well worthy of a blog. I read an interesting article in the Sunday Telegraph today about depression by Hermione Norris, aka the skinny [...]

GEORGIE – The ‘hips and lips’ thing…

August 25, 2010

This article caught my attention today – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1305853/Scientists-prove-moment-lips-does-mean-lifetime-hips-weight-gain.html This one fascinates me. A group of young, slim healthy people asked to eat crappy food and exercise little for a month and they put on weight.

August 24, 2010

The subject of this blog can get some people VERY excited, thinking that by eating the foods mentioned they will magically lose all they weight they would like to! We all know better. There is no magic. It’s hard work, willpower and dedication. However, some foods will help to stop the build up of fat [...]

ROSIE – HOLIDAY POST MORTEM!

August 23, 2010

Ha. So, holiday over. It was great! Lots of sleep, lots of relaxation, great quality family time and generally a lot of fun. Oh yes, and a lot of food. I would say on a scale of one to ten of naughty-over-eating-just-because-I-am-out-of-my-normal-routine, I scored a 6. 10 being generally disgusting and wallowing in chips and [...]

GEORGIE – Gym Nemesis update…

August 22, 2010

Just a quickie about my new nemesis the ‘paddle leg’ machine in the gym. I’ve been on this damn machine for two weeks now and it’s working those wobbly bits out a treat!! However, during a session with a personal trainer and I asked him about it…. turns out – its a kind of hover [...]

ZAR – Recipe – Stir Fried Beef with Chilli and Wombok

August 19, 2010

This is a dish that can contain really any ingredients. You can substitute the beef for chicken, carrot for beans as I did, even leave the chillies out if you don’t like them. Wombok is Chinese cabbage. I haven’t had it since I lived at home; Mum used it quite a bit. It is cheap, [...]

ROSIE – Top 10 Dieting Blunders

August 18, 2010

This is a bit of a simple blog to write, only in that a lot of it really is common sense. However, I feel that sometimes people are so focussed on a “diet” (not something we advocate on Bingham Girls) that they can actually lose sight of the easiest way to get to a goal [...]
