How food can change your body shape

How food can change your body shape

This might surprise some of you reading this.  There are many people who don’t understand that what they eat can change the weight and shape of their body.

A few years ago I worked for a world wide weight loss company and it never ceased to amaze me how many new members would join and not understand how they came to gain weight in the first place.  Educating those members was actually the easy bit. One lady asked me,

“So, if I change the way I eat, I could actually lose weight?”

Aha moment.  Yes I explained to her the advantages of why you should be at a healthy weight and all, including moving more and getting around from A to B just that little bit faster might all help.  So in other words

Calories in should be less than calories out and there you will see an energy deficit.  This will allow you to tap into energy reserves which have been stored as fat.  Hence losing weight and also creating a leaner body mass in the long run.

Can you guess the members who were the tricky ones to educate?  Sign up to this blog to find out in the next blog where I will tell you the flabbergasting facts of a client who left me feeling exhausted.

Gluten free pancake recipe

So we are all becoming more and more aware of the sensitivities gluten can cause for certain people and many are following a diet according to this. Myself included.

I tried out a recipe for breakfast yesterday which was so delicious I felt I must share it with you. 

This is so simple and takes very little time indeed. Very soon I will pop a YouTube video up for you (go here and subscribe in preparation). 

Ingredients:

2 eggs

100g ground almonds (sometimes called almond flour)

Dash of milk or water to create a runny consistency. 

The local farmers eggs are the best to use!

I'll write another blog to explain why!

Pop the ground almonds into a bowl or dish

Add your eggs straight in. 

Add the milk straight on top!

Give it all a really good whisk until the mixture is smooth. 

Pop a tiny drizzle of extra virgin olive oil into the pan. 

Get the pan really hot. You can drizzle one drop of pancake mix in to see if it starts to sizzle. 

Ladle the mix into the hot pan and cook until it easily moves from the bottom of the pan. 

When it's golden, flip the pancake and cook the other side. The second side needs only half the time. 

As these are so healthy for children too, a sprinkle of sugar and honey will encourage all the goodness goes down happily :)
