juicy! 

with so many juice diets around it's hard to know which one to go for.... joe cross author of fat, sick and nearly dead has an answer for this. 

his reboot diet basically resets your system so that the foods you crave will be healthy ones. it will help with weight loss, detoxing, healthy skin, digestion, energy and immunity 

there's also a 3 day quick start reboot, get in touch with me for the recipes and check out the whole philosophy here 

friday feeling 

this valentines, i'm in love....

with raw chocolate!! on my first day as a nutritionist at the 8th day in manchester, i was lucky enough to have the raw chocolate company in store promoting some of their new, gorgeous chocolate range

my favourite was the award winning goji and orange raw chocolate bar, and the raw chocolate raisins were rather moreish. raw foods aid digestion, fight disease and are full of nutrients - what's not to love?! 

friday tune
well the sun is out in manchester and it's making me wanna chill....
this is the perfect track for your end of workout stretches

is your water bottle making you fat?! 

estrogen dominance occurs when you have too much of the stuff in your body or an imbalance between estrogen & other hormones, which can hinder weight loss

the chemical bpa, found in plastic bottles, mimics estrogen and can contribute to estrogen dominance....

it is stored mainly at the back of your thigh or hamstring area so if this is a problem area for you, that plastic bottle of water in the gym may not be a good idea! 

to avoid this go for a bpa free bottle - glogg do some great ones, which you can refill, so saving the pennies and the lbs!
