The Facts About Sugar By Dr Libby (Check out My Top 5 Natural Sweeteners) Sugar is the hot topic in the nutrition world at the moment. It is no secret to many that we are eating too much of what has been coined by some as “white poison.” The World Health Organizations (WHO) recommends that the intake of sugars be less than 10 percent of total energy intake.

Mood swings, sugar cravings, belly fat! When I entered into a purposeful recovery from my Bulimia Nervosa, I really didn’t know much at all about just how much I’d confused my hormones. I had no understanding whatsoever about how our food literally creates our hormones and chemical messengers to transport information and feedback between the body and brain. I didn’t understand biochemistry, or blood chemistry, and I certainly didn’t realise how food chemistry affected brain chemistry – I hated science and maths at school! Now I do know these things. I’ve researched, I’ve suffered, I’ve lost and I’ve gained. And now I can share

HOW You Eat is Just As Important As WHAT You Eat and WHEN! Many of you have heard me talk about food designers before. They have the task of creating the perfect ratio of fat, sugar and salt in a food product that will create opiates in the brain to have you craving more! People already restricting themselves find these cravings overwhelming and will often berate themselves and feel like failures, believing they have no willpower or motivation. This often leads to comfort or emotional eating, which of course is only feeding the cravings. People try so hard to eat healthy,

Colour Your Plate and Get Healthy! I’ve always loved chopping up fresh fruit and vegetables and creating different blends of slop in my blender! Over the weekend I decided to experiment with Kale. Here’s a pic of chopped Kale in my blender.. KALE is very high in beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin, and reasonably rich in calcium. A member of the cabbage and broccoli family, it contains sulforaphane (particularly when chopped or minced) – a chemical with potent anti-cancer properties. Blending is a quick and easy, nutritious way to incorporate a variety of nutrients, vitamins and minerals

Recovering from Bulimia

I am Recovered… In 2011 I moved house and home to be with the man I loved, and to start my own business to do what I do best – help and inspire others. Until recently I had refused taking on clients with Eating Disorders. Any close association elicited a strong urge to resist the memory of what my own existence and struggle was; I had been focusing my energy into moving forward and releasing the past. Making the decision to take my passion and put it to good use in my new community forces me to recall things I have learnt

My Hungry Heart – emotional eating

What are you really hungry for? When I was overweight – no matter how much food I ate – the sensation of hunger was never far away. Every meal was hurried. I ate as if I was ravenous; quickly filling my belly to hide the evidence that I was a ‘pig’. I would spend most of my time during the day thinking about food while trying to avoid it. The hunger made me crave all the wrong foods… and they always somehow made me feel better. I didn’t always feel ‘well’ after eating those foods, but for a short time I didn’t feel

Are you thinking, breathing and fearing food 24/7…? What we think and how we feel often dictates what we eat, if we should eat and when we should eat. This may lead us to console our emotions with food we don’t really want or need but that temporarily might make us feel better. Without a healthy self-image or balanced lifestyle, this may be enough to permanently chip away at your self-confidence and further influence your emotions. In the long term, it may be enough to spark a greater issue with food and body-image, leading to disordered eating. Do you reach
