Is This Good Food?

Stumbled across this interesting (and fun) video.

Reading labels is a scary and eye opening exercise... even if you're not on a diet.

Exercise on the Dukan Diet

If you're looking for some exercise tips here's a nice list of activities. It's worth remembering that exercise doesn't have to mean a daily ordeal at the gym. :)

A bit of fun

Just came across this cute image:

It's a bit like people and fashion magazines these days ;)

It's a t-shirt from here:

Dukan diet and Pinterest

If you like Pinterest I recently found that there is an official Dukan Diet collection available: http://pinterest.com/dukandietus/ There are some interesting categories available. :)

Photoshop fun

Here's a bit of fun inspiration. Nobody's perfect... :)

We all sort of know things get "prettied up" in photoshop before they go to print. But it's quite shocking (especially in some cases) how much is being edited!

Updated Newsletter Schedule

Just wanted to let everyone know that from May the newsletter I sent out will change from a weekly schedule to bi-monthly one. So anyone subscribed can expect to receive it every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month.

The change is mainly due to the fact that I'd like to update quite a few aspects of the site and preparing the newsletter does take a fair amount of my time (on top of answering emails, writing articles and posting recipes). I would like to make the site more mobile and print friendly and add some enhancements that I think are long over-due.

Hopefully it won't make that much of a difference to the newsletter recipients, but will help me free up some time. :)

Toxic Sugar

Interestingly more and more mainstream sources are actually getting interested in research related to the harm sugar does to the human body. Interesting interview to watch below:

And if you haven't heard/watched the lecture from Dr. Lustig "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" I highly recommend you do.

3 Minutes of Exercise

Recently BBC aired an interesting documentary about exercise called Horizon: The Truth About Exercise. Among other things it touches on the fact that we are not robots that react to the same input in identical ways. Our genes do have a say in many aspects of our life and exercise and fitness is no exception. It also introduces the concept of how small amount of exercise can make a huge difference.

For a limited time you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer here.

Sugar Stacks

Today I happened to stumble across this fun blog displaying sugar contents in a creative way.

What makes you eat more?

Quick treat

I recently had a recipe submitted on the site, that the moment I saw it I knew I had to try it myself.

The recipe is for Fizzy Pops, and after doing some coke zero ice-cubes, I couldn't resist the urge to pour some coke zero over them. :)
