Acai Berry: Harder Than You Might Think
Getting an acai berry into some sensible packing and onto your kitchen table is much more of a logistical nightmare than may first be imagined. It is not simply a case of picking a berry from a bush, popping it into and envelope and posting to your address.
First you’ve got to get those berries, and [...]
Acai Berry: The Fruit, The Palm, The Legend
Acai berry is a popular little fruit, and for very good reason. The berry’s flesh has a load of antioxidants and other goodness that can do your body wonders. With celebrities like Oprah picking up on the benefits and physiological advantages of the berry, it’s little wonder that demand for juices, pulps and supplements made [...]
Sensible Diet, Sensible Exercise
Eating sensibly and exercising regularly go a long way to making your life a healthier one. Weight loss doesn’t have to be difficult.
The exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous, doesn’t have to involve a gym, and doesn’t have to involve anything that you don’t want it to. Many people hate running — and indeed if [...]
A Diet Where You Eat More? Tell Me More!
I used to be one of those people that was always on a crash diet. I would undergo a few weeks of usually quite rapid weight loss then, once the diet period was over, I would go straight back to my ‘bad’ ways. For some reason (I still haven’t worked it out yet) I thought [...]
Find A Diet That Works For You
I am a nutritionist by training, and it amazes me every time I see some celebrity or other touting the latest fad diet that they have heard of.

Aim For A Controlled Diet
A controlled diet is one where you are watching what you eat with the intention of getting the right volumes of the right kind of foods into your system. It is not one where you find yourself starving from morning to night, nor one where you are cutting vital parts of your diet out [...]
Don’t Let Your Diet Control You
I used to believe the hype all the different types of ‘crash’ diet that were out there to aid weight loss. I fell foul of trying to follow them.
A controlled diet is not the same as being controlled by your diet. Most dietitians agree that as long as you are eating the correct kind of [...]
Beware of free trial offer scams
I have been to groups where we compare our weights; I have been to groups where we share our diets. I have been on diets that claim to help weight loss and I have been on diets where the only thing I have eaten for most of the day is a shake or two. All [...]
Why Acai Can Help You Stay Healthy
Some foods are healthier than others; this is something that we think we know. But what does healthy mean? For some — especially those that are aiming for weight loss — it might mean that there is less calories per gram than in other foods; for some it might mean that there is a lot [...]
Get Some Acai In Your Diet
You must have heard of Acai? It’s the latest craze on the health scene and has been promoted by such illustrious celebrities as Oprah; that’s not something you can ignore easily.
The reason Acai is causing such a storm is that it can be hugely beneficial if used correctly to supplement a diet. An Acai supplemented [...]
