How much sugar are you really eating?

How much sugar are you really eating?

When it comes to interpreting food labels and understanding how much sugar is really in our food, there is probably nothing more confusing. You may recall in a recent post I wrote about sugar, how manufacturers are using disguises for the white stuff that sound more like something out of a science fiction novel than real food. Maltitol, mannitol, polydextrose, sorbitol, inulin, HFCS short for – high fructose corn syrup, are all names used by manufactures to list different forms of sugar, but few of us would recognize these terms without formal training. So my advice for interpreting just how

Diaries of a sugar addict

Many of you responded to my recent post about sugar in shock, regarding just how many foods are laden with the white stuff. So in an effort to expand your knowledge on this hot topic even further, I decided to write a post about the many tricks manufacturers use to fool us into thinking their products are slimming and healthy. You can read about it here. The fact is, the way many of us consume sugar is having a detrimental, even life threatening impact on our physical, mental and emotional health. Perhaps the most alarming factor is how many of

Be free from the bean - Quitting coffee part II

  How to beat the bean Last week, we explored the effect excess coffee consumption is having on our health. Hopefully, you’ve gained new insight, and maybe even view your daily cappuccino differently. If you are ready to beat the bean, here are my tips for freeing yourself from its grips… Coming off the juice The key to kick-starting any shift in your health begins with an effective detox program.

Ayurvedic Calming Tea

Ayurvedic Calming Tea

  Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India, dating back over 5000 years. The concept of using ‘food as medicine’ forms the basis of this ancient practice. Meaning if you’re going to put food in your body, you may as well make choices that have a medicinal and healing effect on the body, versus those that are toxic and disease producing. Making tea is one of my all time favourite rituals and this blend of traditional Ayurvedic spices is a perfect example of using food as medicine, because it has an incredibly soothing and calming effect on the nervous system. Unlike

Is coffee your drug of choice?

Is coffee your drug of choice?

  You may recall when we explored the consumption of conventional cow’s milk in an earlier post, and my views on the related issues. Coffee is the Bonnie to the milk, Clyde – a perfect partner in crime. Consider for a moment how much milk the average coffee drinker consumes with their regular cappuccino or flat white…. you could be looking at up to three to four cups per day, depending on your habit! We have become a society that associates coffee with waking up, perking up, socialising and a means to escape the office for our regular coffee break

The Skinny On Fats….why they don’t make you fat!

The Skinny On Fats....why they don't make you fat!

I commonly refer to society’s aversion to eating dietary fats as the ‘Jane Fonda Syndrome’… Why? Because back in the 80’s, bright coloured leg warmers and g- string leotards, were as synonymous with getting fit and healthy, as counting calories and cutting fat from your diet. The interesting fact is when we decided to declare war on dietary fat, our waistlines actually expanded and the obesity epidemic was born!  I blame this phenomena on a combination of the marketing messages being pedalled by food manufacturers, and plain old bad science, because when it comes to understanding the role fat plays in our

Is sugar really the devil in disguise?

Is sugar really the devil in disguise?

The short answer to this is yes. In the twelve years I have been in clinical practice as a nutritionist I have told my patients of all the changes they could make to their diet, cutting out sugar would create the greatest impact on their health . This is because sugar forms the basis of so much of our western diet and I’m not just talking about the obvious sources such as adding sugar to your morning coffee. I’m also referring to the hidden sugars that appear in so many processed foods now days. Even worse, manufacturers have been trying
