You may remember that in September last year, I posted a blog about a daschund called Obie who was literally eating himself to death! Poor Obie seemed to have a big appetite (and generous owners) and weighed in at 35kg – around 25kg overweight! EEK! Obie was rescued and put on a drastic weight loss…
You know that if you left a piece of bread on a plate on your kitchen bench for 2 weeks, it would be covered in mould and not at all suitable to eat! I mean, fresh food will go ‘off’ if you don’t eat it within a reasonable time. You would assume that this would…
Losing weight is much easier when you have a support person who is with you every step of the way, encouraging you through the tough times…which is exactly what our The Natural Way consultants do! However, did you know that you don’t have to visit a clinic to receive our help? That’s right, our fantastic…
For most of us, we spend 40+ hours a week at work and the eating habits you adopt during your working day can have a massive impact on your health. For example, if you frequent fast food places for lunch, the constant consumption of excess calories and fat will impact badly on your waistline. Also,…
Fashion models have a long history of being criticized for their unhealthy eating habits – I mean, some of them barely eat at all! I must confess I have to raise my hand too when it comes to being guilty of accusing models of poor eating practices (see link to previous blog: https://loseweightwithsue.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/skinny-model-sparks-healthy-body-debate/ ) However, I recently stumbled across an interesting article which highlighted a…
I promise I won’t blog about the Biggest Loser this week (but yes, I am sad to see the departure of Big Kev), so let’s get back to making this blog all about YOU. If you went off the rails over Easter, chances are your body is still suffering the effects of chocolate overload. If…
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am a fan of ‘The Biggest Loser’ – so prepare yourself to read a few more posts about the show until the season ends! I must say though, this year, more than any other, the Trainers have been much more ‘cruel’ to the contestants. For example, Michelle…
Easter is upon us yet again! It’s important to remember that Easter is not an excuse for a 4-day chocolate gorge. However, it is estimated that Australians spend over $200 million on chocolate at Easter, so there is a whole lot of chocolate eating going on around the country. For those of you trying to…
As I confessed in a previous post, I am a long-time fan of The Biggest Loser. So you can imagine how excited I was on Sunday night when it premiered. Don’t get me wrong, there are parts of the show I honestly despise – such as ‘breaking down’ the contestants until they cry / vomit…
The 21st century has brought with it a higher cost of living. That means that women are staying in the workforce longer, prior to starting a family, in order to build up a ‘nest egg’. However, delaying conceiving a baby can sometimes be tricky, particularly once a woman is over the age of 30. In…
With a long history of ‘failed’ weight loss ambassadors, you would assume that the Jenny Craig Marketing Manager would think twice before sponsoring yet another celebrity who needs to lose weight. However, it seems to be an advertising formula they like to stick to but, once again, it seems to have ended on a somewhat…
The problem with weight is that you can’t just ignore it because it won’t just ‘go away’: if you are carrying excess kilos, then it impacts on the way you look, your health and your self-esteem. Some people though can feel resigned to a lifetime of being ‘big’, simply because they have been overweight for…
Once the Royal Family announced that William and Kate were expecting their first child, the paparazzi were desperate to take the first photo of her baby ‘bump’. This week magazines all over the world are publishing the ‘exclusive’ photos of Kate’s pregnant tummy, taken while she was holidaying. Check out the photo below: not much…
Recently, well known model, Nina Agdal caused a furore when she posted a photo of herself at the gym on Twitter. Her VERY lean physique led to a barrage of criticism from Twitter users, and when the offending photo was published in newspapers around the world it created the international debate ‘How Skinny is Too…
Have you heard this old saying before: If you fail to plan, than you are planning to fail. If you really want something, it’s not likely to just fall in your lap. You need to be thoroughly prepared and committed, then set a goal and focus on the ‘prize’ you hope to achieve at the…
