It’s National Nutrition Week this week and not only are we raising awareness about Try for 5 (getting 5 serves of veggies in per day) but this year there is also a focus on embracing your veg waste instead of throwing it out.

In my opinion eating healthy food must be enjoyable if it is to be a lifelong habit. So here I’m sharing my tips on how I keep my lunches so good that I actually cannot wait until it’s lunchtime to eat them!

It’s a question I am often being asked - should we eat organic? There is a lot to consider in terms of nutritional value of organic versus conventional foods and also the effect of pesticides on human health.

No meal allows you to not only pack in a heap of veggies but also to hide those veggies quite like Bolognese does!

Just in case you haven’t heard by now (although I’m not sure where you’ve been if you haven’t!) gut health is kind of a big deal in the nutrition world.

So you’ve gone to the effort to fill your kitchen with healthy foods and products but if you don’t store it properly then foods can quickly lose their nutritional value and you won’t be getting as many health benefits as you had hoped!

If there is one aspect to nutrition that I think is underrated..it is fibre. Fibre can come in many different forms but essentially it is the indigestible part of plant foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds.

It’s fair to say the amount of nutrition advice available to us today is absolutely insane and it’s understandable that many of us – myself included – find it difficult to know whether you are eating the right foods for your body.

It's not news to anyone that organic food is more expensive and I'm sure most of you laugh at the idea of eating a 100% organic diet. You might be wondering if organic food is really that superior to non organic food and how on earth you are meant to afford to buy everything organic!?

There’s no denying that weight loss is the most common goal of my clients. However most clients come in worrying about what foods they should be excluding/not eating to lose weight. I’ve heard everything from carbs, fat, sugar, alcohol, legumes, beans, dairy, red meat, all meat – you name it.
