Now that social media is such an ingrained part of our lives, so too is the ‘selfie’. For those of you who are unaware, a selfie is a photo that you take of yourself (usually to publish on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc) and is something that Gen-Y’s LOVE to do! However, there is a controversial…
During pregnancy, the transformation of an expecting mum’s body is truly remarkable. However, it’s the sudden gain of extra weight during the pregnancy which can be difficult to lose once the baby is born. Countless times, at The Natural Way, we have encountered ‘new’ mums who are desperate to get their pre-baby bodies back and…
Being a woman today is really demanding – besides raising your family, most of us juggle work and running the household too. I am sure many of you can relate to this ‘juggling’ act as most of us know what it’s like to have a lot on your plate – the problem is that this…
You know, falling in love with someone wonderful is pure bliss…except sometimes being ‘happy in love’ can change your eating and drinking habits for the worse!

There are three times in a woman’s life when she is most vulnerable to weight gain: these are during puberty, pregnancy and menopause. Each of these are also milestones in a woman’s life where hormone activity is rapidly changing, hence it’s no coincidence that all three can play havoc with your weight. Belinda Cruickshank is a no exception…
Sometimes you don’t even realize when you put on weight – or should I say, you know that you have but your busy life lets you refuse to acknowledge it! It’s quite nice to be in blissful denial of the fact you have gained weight, but when reality hits, it can be quite a rude shock. Meet Michelle…
If you are trying to watch your weight, you would know what it’s like to be in the company of a person who says things like: “Why are you on a diet? You look fine to me” or “Come on, have a piece of cake with me – a little bit won’t hurt”. We call…

You may remember a few weeks ago, I wrote a blog about a 2 year old boy who underwent dramatic obesity surgery in order to lose weight. (see blog here: https://loseweightwithsue.wordpress.com/2013/09/23/obese-two-year-old-gets-weight-loss-surgery/) . I mean, I think this is an appalling display of child abuse: how can parents let their child be so grossly overweight at…
You may be currently on a weight loss program, and doing quite well, but suddenly – for no apparent reason – your weight loss stops. There is nothing more frustrating particularly when you are doing everything ‘right’. However there are a number of reasons why you may not be hitting your goal. See if you think…
I found this article online last week and instantly felt sick: did you see it? A two year old boy, who weighed a massive 33kg, underwent obesity surgery and is the youngest person ever to undergo such a procedure. To make matters far worse, the poor child received a ‘gastric sleeve’ which is an irreversible…
Have you ever been oblivious to a problem that was literally staring at you in the face? For example, you may have noticed that your car was getting pretty low in petrol but you quickly forgot about it UNTIL that moment when you are driving home at night and your car decides to stop in…

It’s no wonder obesity levels are rising in Australia…more people than ever are eating fast food daily and our lifestyles are becoming increasingly sedentary. Let’s face it: children are trading playing games outdoors for spending time inside (thanks to X-Box). Not only that, many adults are working longer hours which means extended periods of time…
