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.
An awesome tasting, healthy and super quick recipe. A great way of getting some top quality protein, vegetables and healthy fats. We have used rump steak for this dish (grass fed) so it's nice and cheap yet still full of goodness. I cooked this dish for my Mum for lunch as she is not feeling well.
Hey folks, just a really quick post on reward. Many of us work hard both in the gym and at our jobs, we work long hours and at times experience high stress situations. All of which are a time where we can feel that a reward is deserved. Question is though how do you reward yourself?
A client of mine Hussain inspired me to write this post. It’s all about how you approach the bar and how the outcome of your lift is often decided long before you wrap your hands around bar.
Ever had an injury? Ever found it to be one of THE most frustrating things in the world? Most of us have been there! When it comes to an injury the thing I hear everyone talking about is rehab, rehab and more rehab, yet their focus when they use such a word tends to be on exercises they can do in order to rehabilitate the injury. Whilst this is hugely important, rehab in my opinion is a 5 pronged approach that includes 1. Exercise 2. Nutrition 3. Supplementation 4. Rest 5. Mindset. Agree? Then keep reading.
Throughout our day we're faced with several choices that affect our health. Here's just a couple of decisions I made in one day that left me feeling great....
When I ask "do you wake up stiff in the morning?" I'm not referring to your knee joints here or your lower back. I'm talking about your morning wood, morning glory, are you pitching a tent when you wake up? Still don’t know what I’m talking about?
