I watched Forks over Knives tonight and although not as sensational as What The Health, it was a very good and informed perspective on our health as driven by our dietary choices. I learned that sugary and processed food that’s high in fat is partly appealing because when we look at it our brains believe …

Why so serious….!?
I love the Batman movies, the ones with Christian Bale (how hot is he!?) and I particularly love The Dark Night with the most awesome Joker played by Heath Ledger. There are two things the Joker says that I think are great: 1. the bit about when you have a plan nobody panics (I apply …
Feeding our greed.
I found myself sitting in my office at lunch time, starving, but unable to figure out what I should eat. I hadn't brought food with me, which is unusual, so I was relying on local (out of the city centre) food establishments to be able to accommodate my diet. However, I was then paralyzed by …
What The Health?!
Watch this documentary "What The Health" on Netflix. I couldn't stop watching it and although it did partly feel a little dramatic, it may have changed my life in just a 90 minute period of time.... Now I'm in a major quandary about whether or not I should eat animal products at all..... despite my …
My butt hurts.
I truly did intend to get up this morning and workout again. However, my daughter work up 1 minute before my 5.25am alarm, which pretty much killed that morning opportunity to do the workout. Then, I tried to ignore her for as long as possible, but ultimately ended up being up and at it at …
Smiling like a basket of chips….
I've no real idea what this phrase means. My great-aunt used to say it and none of my family could figure it out. However, this morning, I am certain that's what I was doing. 🙂 I had a day off and, despite not having set my alarm, I woke at 5.25am. I'm a morning person …
Fat, Exercise, and Stress
I'm broadening my reading experience and have, in addition to The Wahls Protocol, started reading Gabor Mate's 'When the Body Says No' as well as the latest edition of Time Magazine, titled 'The Science of Exercise'. Together, this literature is making me more determined than ever to get off my ass and do something other …
Craving and caving.
I'm human and therefore susceptible to moments of temptation and also to giving in. So, I'm not perfect and I've eaten more ice cream (dairy free) as well as chocolate (also dairy free). But, I feel like I'm getting to the 'settled-in' phase of my transition to the Wahls Diet and that I'll soon have …
It’s harder than it looks.
I look normal to everyone: I don't look sick (ever) and I function just fine in everyday situations. But underneath something is constantly niggling me and I just have to push it aside to be normal, fun, and a reasonably chilled person to hang out with. However, making this a reality is very hard work …
It’s been a bad day.
My ear is sore, I gained weight despite eating my instructed quantities of vegetables and fruit, I had a stressful day at work and home, I ate dairy-free ice cream, I ate a piece of chocolate, and I didn't exercise at all. The scales will be terrifying in the morning and I feel jittery because …
