So I was sat there this morning drinking my morning cuppa Joe. It’s not just any coffee, though. The beans are from Italy (brought back from Italy by my Grandad last week who was visiting some family). I grinded the beans to “dust” (just enough for 1 coffee to keep them fresh). Placed some hot water in my cafetiere …
It’s not diabetes… It’s not heart disease…. And no, it’s not low-carb diets either… The 3rd leading cause of death was reported to be MEDICAL ERROR (as reported in the British Medical Journal). AKA medical care gone wrong is the 3rd leading cause of death after heart disease and cancer <<< scary stuff, I know. But what I also found interesting …
What’s the best diet for you? “Is a plant based diet the best?””What’s the optimal diet for humans?”^^^ These are some of the questions I’ve been asked since Luke Watkins posted about me helping him ensure he was getting all his nutritional needs as he transitioned on to a plant based diet (vegetarian diet). Now, my first …
My little cousin was telling me about his Key Stage 2 Sats last week. “Feeling ready?” , I asked… To which he responded with an enthusiastic nod of the head followed by “I’ve practiced” (valuable lesson right there, by the way). Now, with all the debate about how hard the exams were, I thought I’d give them a …
“Do some work, you’re in the gym not a coffee shop”… ^^^ This is what I got at the weekend whilst I was chatting and laughing with a few friends and clients at the gym. We were out in the fresh air with the sun beaming down…it actually felt like summer had arrived! People were smiling and we were having …

In practice, from friends, family members…this is something I get a lot. Interestingly, when I go on to ask how they’re “eating well” I’ll often get a different answer. One might say “I’m only eating wholegrain carbs, low fat, and loads of veggies” Another might say “I’m eating no carbs, loads of healthy fat, protein, and veggies” And another might …
“You should apply, Matt” ^^^ Now, a client said this to me the other day referring to the recent Bear Grylls Island show. If you didn’t watch it, they’re on a island and become so hungry that they do crazy stuff. And eat crazy stuff… Like the face of a iguana! ^^^ I bet you’re thinking those “diet shakes” aren’t so bad anymore, ay? “You’d be …

Will too many increase my cholesterol? Should I get rid of the yolk? Isn’t all of the nutrition in the yolk? ^^^ all these questions came up yesterday so I thought I would clarify a few things on this before I go make my eggs Benedict… 1) There are 2 types of “cholesterol”. * HDL – The “Batman” of the two (‘superhero’) * LDL …
So today I presented at a Diabetes Prevention Meeting on the role of exercise and lifestyle habits on the prevention and treatment of diabetes. I spoke to GPs, nurses, and public health commissioners. ^^^ and if you’d have told me this 2/3 years ago I’d have been out of that door quicker than my Nonna can offer me a plate of …
And these are rare breeds (food / drinks that can make us “feel” more full). It was just last week that I noticed something interesting: I love peanut butter…even when I’m not hungry! I just crave the taste.And the funny thing? When I get the taste, I become “more” hungry. I want more. Now this might be Ben & Jerry’s, mars bars, or …
