I wouldn’t say I have a sweet tooth, as I’m an equal opportunity snacker, enjoy salt and vinegar crisps as much as I enjoy a chocolate bar.

No more pre-brekkie chocolate digestives, handfuls of jelly beans, afternoon chocolate bar, ice cream after dinner… it’s all stopping for a week, eek…. Continue reading “Cut the sweet treats”
I’ve done the 16:8 fasting system before, you can read my blog on it here, but I thought I would give it a go again, and I’m glad I did. I noticed a few extra pounds creeping on (and I worked so hard to lose them in the first place) so it started to bug me a bit. Now I was totally rational about it … Continue reading The Eating Window
