Bizarrely, despite the amount of impact it has on diet and exercise, the female menstrual cycle is often deemed an awkward subject to discuss, especially with a male trainer!

Scary title, right? But what’s even more scary is that it is often the case! You’ve been wanting to lose weight all this time, you finally found the motivation to take up an exercise regime (notice that YOU found it, not IT found you – there’s a lesson even in that), and you’re putting in […]
So, did you notice how I haven’t done any articles on the Vegan Walkthrough in a while? Well, it wasn’t that I just got fed up of them.. About a month ago, Charlotte (the vegan that our walkthrough was following), decided to make the change from being vegan to instead adopt a vegetarian diet (I […]

Roast Potatoes, Honey-Roasted Parsnips, Mince Pies, Christmas Pudding, Christmas Cake, Pigs in Blankets, Turkey & Stuffing, Yorkshire Puddings… What’s that noise? Is that… Your Stomach Rumbling? Oh wait, no! That’s MY stomach rumbling! Why do we save all the best food for Christmas? Because it just makes it that much more special! That’s right, I […]
