So, Ray and I have just done 4 weeks on the HCG diet and good news – we both lost weight! It’s actually a very doable diet and we really both cruised through it to be honest. We both had times when we were a bit hungry, but nothing too drastic and we missed our ...…
It seems that Popeye had the right idea about spinach. Science is proving that he wasn’t mistaken and that spinach is a great muscle builder after all! I’ve just been reading this article here on The Daily, and while the scientists involve clearly haven’t managed to identify the exact component in spinach that is responsible ...…
So, what is Spirulina? Spirulina is commonly described as a type of blue-green algae. You’re thinking yuk right? Who in their right mind eats algae?

It’s been 14 days now on the 2nd phase of the 4 phase HCG diet and I must say that I’m absolutely wrapped with my progress. I think I’ll probably stay on it for another 2 to 3 weeks and by then if all goes according to plan I will be leaner than I’ve ever been ...…

The smoothie is one of the quickest, easiest and healthiest breakfasts ever invented. Those people who say that eating healthy takes too long, have simply never tried it! I make lots of different versions of smoothies, juices and juice/smoothie mixtures depending on time available and what’s available in the fridge and pantry. This morning was ...…
If you read my last post about the HCG Diet, you’ll know that my hubby and I are both giving the HCG diet a go to see if we can lose the excess fat that we’re carrying around and return our bodies to a state of Leptin Sensitivity! We’ve completed stage one of this four ...…

I just came across this article on the Telegraph website where a bunch of ‘scientists’ have conducted a 32 week study that has shown that a group of people who, each morning as part of a weight loss diet that included chocolate cake in their 600 calorie breakfast, lost more weight than the control ...…
