I'm super-sad to see the end of the amazing BBC2 series The Men Who Made Us Thin, in short because it's been a programme basically aimed squarely at people like yours truly. The first episode was about why the diet industry is selling you lies (which inspired an entire post here), and it's covered s[...]

I've been doing quite a bit of thinking this week. It's a bit self-absorbed, but hell - that's why I blog. I've made it through six months in London - which, when I wrote this post, seemed like years away - and it's rapidly approaching three years since I joined the gym and started getting... Well, [...]

Check these out. They're adapted from a recipe I found here - and I have to say, the first time I tried to make them I was totally sceptical. I mean... It's cauliflower, for Pete's sake. But once I'd made them... Well, wow. They're just delicious. And they're a great way to keep those pizza c[...]

I know I mentioned it briefly the other day, but the times they are a'changin' in my life at the moment. That's why things have been a little quiet around here lately, and why the meal plan is delayed - but I swear to God every waking moment I have this week that isn't spent at work, I'll be working[...]

It's been a staple of my diet since way back in my heady undergraduate days - although the "mince" we'd buy then was probably a tad suspect, and I'm not sure it was all that tasty in hindsight, being composed primarily of chopped tomatoes and [...]

Over the last couple of days, I've been asked twice what exactly it is that I eat over the course of a day, a week, a month, etc. Obviously you guys have seen some of the highlights (mostly just because they're pretty) but it's not representative of everything that I chow down on on any given day - [...]

I was reading this recipe by Naturally Zass this morning in bed, and was inspired - not least because I'm addicted to courgettes at the moment. I figure there are worse things to be addicted to. Anyway, the idea of a courgette-y egg-y thing to munch on at lunch this week sounded super-appealing, [...]

My suspicions have been confirmed - I need to bin gluten from my diet. This isn't a big surprise - I've noticed over the last couple of months that I've been getting sick after I eat wheat, or things containing it. I've always thought that I've had a sort of abnormally bloated feeling after meals, b[...]
