After gaining a bunch of weight after my wedding, I saw a dietitian and lost 8 kgs. I’ve now gained back 4 of these, but the only reason the other 4 (and more!) haven’t come back is because of key lifestyle changes that the dietitian taught me that I’ve adopted into my daily routine. For […]
Okay, let me be honest here. When I first heard of Alice Lane Health Club and what its offering was, I was like “who wants to spend more than R1000 a month on a gym”? I’ve been gyming for free for the past 7 years (I joined with the Discovery Vitality special when they were […]
Reviewing amazing restaurants all the time has its downfalls. It is undeniably fattening. Obviously, in order to review properly I need to order a 3 course meal and there are no half measures with me- if something’s on my plate I finish it (why does this never apply to salads?!)The only way to continue eating […]

I’ve been unhappy with my weight for a long time now but just couldn’t wouldn’t stay away from bread and sugary things. After I got married, we went to South America and Mauritius in a short space of time (both […]
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love fried chicken. I recently bought a book called “Cook Yourself Thin” where they give low calorie recipes for all the usual unhealthy favourites. I tried a chocolate fudge cake made with beetroot and dark chocolate last weekend. Let’s just say the result wasn’t worth blogging about 😛But I […]

I’m a bit of a trend junkie, and the latest one I’ve hopped onto is Tim Noakes’ Real Meal Revolution. Now you guys know, I’ve tried everything to lose weight- personal trainer, dietitian, diet pills, training for a 10km, working out everyday at home, and nothing works. Because I eat out all the time, and […]
