It is Five years ago, almost to the day, that I changed my eating habits. Over one weekend! On the Friday, I decided to follow a Paleo diet plan, on the Sunday I decided that I would start with a month of the Whole30. By Monday morning, the pantry was empty of all non-paleo foods …

Paleo Weight-loss: Back to Basics
A new start. Here I am, 18 months after my hip replacement operation. I’m about 95% back to full strength and feel that the time is right to set about losing the remainder of my excess weight.

How to lose 100lbs
My Story – the beginning Like many weight loss stories, mine is a story of many ‘ups’ and several ‘downs’. I struggled with my weight as a teenager, got it under control when at university… slipped a little… sorted myself out again, and then succeeded in getting down to a UK size 10/12 by the …
