Cinnamon is a superb and essential addition to your diet, it's been around for centuries but recently studies have unveiled it's unique ability to improve our metabolism of sugar.
...full of energy and of course happy! To those who follow Fitter Food or know me personally it's no secret that I tend to eat well most of the time, a diet rich in natural, unprocessed foods with the odd slip up when I walk past an ice-cream parlour. However, this was far from the case 4 years ago.
At Fitter Food if we have the opportunity to cook a dish that involves whacking everything together in one pan we jump at the chance. We don't believe food should be faffy or time consuming and this meal reflects that perfectly. This is a dish that is so easy to do anyone could do it. Super quick yet bursting with flavour. Can you go wrong when chorizo is involved? Not really. Check it out.
What you eat and drink is often dictated by your emotions. The reason you may struggle to adhere to a nutrition plan is often because you are stressed and busy at work, having relationship issues, feeling low or maybe even training hard and feel you deserve a “little treat." The thing all these have in common is that they are an emotion. More to the point though, they are all emotions that often lead to a need for a reward. Does this sound like you?
As the fitness industry is slowly merging with the health/medical profession, trainers are being referred to as the ‘doctors of the future’… I wouldn’t go that far (can you imagine handing Matt a stool sample?) The industry is now launching courses on stress, adrenal health, digestion and what really fascinates me; a course entitled “Women’s Issues.” So what are these women's issues?

We all eat food, we all need to eat food, we all enjoy food but do we eat food for the right reasons? Sadly for most the answer is no. Many will think the title of this post is a silly question but in my opinion is a very important one.
I have to confess, I ate rubbish over the festive period. Now I always like to have a treat here and there and it’s a given I indulge over Christmas, BUT I never get colds or flu. Ever since I adopted a diet of unprocessed foods a few years ago I have been cold free, even when many around me are suffering. So what was different this time?
We love Moroccan flavours and we love meatballs so this is the perfect combination. Packed with anti inflammatory spices and tender lamb, topping with an egg finishes it off nicely. It's great served with cauliflower rice but if you are looking for a higher carbohydrate option you could serve with white rice.
Caribbean flavours are a great way to jazz up fish dishes and we made up this recipe to use up some leftover vegetables. Similar to all our recipes it's so easy to do. Give it a try.
Firstly, I would like to wish you a very Happy New Year. I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and spent some quality time with friends and family. No doubt you indulged in foods you would not ordinarily eat and had a few beverages of the alcoholic kind.....I know I certainly did and it was great however I am ready to get back on it and prepare for an awesome 2013.
Matt and I have been on a journey. We’re passionate about health and vitality, however, until recently, perhaps a little guilty of focusing too much on exercise and not truly acknowledging the power of nutrition. Our recipe book Fitter Food details everything we've learnt (the hard way) about transforming your health from the inside out with food.
