I know that opinions are very divided on the whole "juicing" business, but I wanted to just recap on a few things that I like about it. Things that have changed my diet a little, for the better, and made me think differently about good old garden variety veg. As you...
After three days of relentless face-stuffing in Paris, I am well and truly ready to kickstart my healthy eating plan again. Actually, there is no plan and there never really has been - I just try to not eat platefuls of pasta and macaroons and huge baguettes filled...
I'm getting right into my brews, I am. Herbal brews, that is - I've never once had a "normal" tea, the type that you have with milk and sugar. I've never had a coffee either, for that matter; hot drinks just didn't ever appeal to me when I was growing up and then,...
Drinking four lots of juice a day instead of eating actual food isn't my idea of a laugh, but I agreed to take part in the World's Biggest Juice Detox for a number of reasons, the main one being (as it so often is) curiosity. I had the insatiable urge to know what...
Another cookbook recommendation for you. I mentioned Nigel Slater's Eat in my Christmas book post a few weeks ago, (find that post here), and since then I've been able to give it quite a good read through. It's a funny little collection of recipes, really, because the...
Ugh. I feel rubbish. It's something of a tradition for me to be ill on my birthday (tomorrow, take note) but it's more than inconvenient today because I have a long day on set. I have been avoiding this cold for weeks, now, but on Sunday my body finally succumbed and...
Rick Stein's India is the most inspiring cookbook I've bought in a very, very long time. I've devoured it from cover to cover, savouring every little description and anecdote and even carefully picking through the supplementary lists of stockists and whatnot that you...
For the cynics who don't believe the old adage, you are what you eat, let me tell you about my little accidental experiment. I say accidental because I didn't really know that I was partaking in a self-inflicted health sabotage until about two weeks in - perhaps it...
I don't know whether to thank Imedeen or cry. For the first four weeks that I took their Hair & Nails supplement absolutely nothing happened at all, but since then I have slowly been turning into Wolverine. Hairs have been sprouting from places previously hairless...
I am now eight days into a home workout "programme" called the 30 Day Shred. You may have heard of it before - you might have even heard it from me - but I thought I'd tell you a little bit about what it is and run through some pros and cons. The 30 Day Shred is a...
I have found myself absolutely craving this Ahi Tuna salad recently. I ate it three times whilst staying at the Standard Hotel in Hollywood last year and it was the perfect summer-day dish. Light, fresh, really healthy and the zing from the fennel and grapefruit made...
It has been a while since I did a health and diet post so I thought I'd provide you with a little video update with the bits and bobs that I've changed recently. You can just skip straight to the video if you like, but I'm going to briefly run through everything that...
