Will ‘fat tax’ just clobber the poor?
I WAS on the radio this morning reviewing the papers for LBC and as luck would have it, one of the news items was this continuing debate on whether certain items of food and drink should be taxed because of their high fat or sugar content. My view is that this ‘Fat Tax’ is unworkable and impractical and
Proof: Diets encourage overeating
“THE scientific proof that diets make you fat.” That headline on the front page of the Daily Mail was a shocking wake-up call to the estimated 15 millions Britons who are on a diet at any one time. That’s one person in four! So here’s a question for you: Do you go on a diet because you’ve been
Don’t exercise yourself fat!
IF you’re having a lie-down in a darkened room you won’t need me to tell you how awful stress can feel. Trouble is, when we’re stressed our bodies are less resistant to infection. So it’s important to keep calm and carry on. If you drink more than two cups of tea or coffee a day then you might

SCALES! You know you have a ‘diet head’ when your moods and emotions are dictated by them!

It set me thinking about the runners’ motivation. I asked a few people why they were running and they all said it was a combination of getting fit and

Jenni Murray another failed diet statistic
I WAS really saddened to read today that after losing 5 stone on the Dukan Diet, Woman’s Hour presenter Jenni Murray has gone the way of 95% of dieters and put the weight back on. I was moved by Jenni’s article in the Mail’s Femail section where
Shocking facts about global obesity

Look out for the salt in a ‘healthy’ muffin
ANY time I eat out I always look for anything described as the “healthy option.” So I was shocked by a discovery at McDonald’s that their low-fat blueberry muffin has more salt in it than one of their burgers – and more than three times the sodium in a packet of ready-salted crisps.
