The blender I’d ordered last week arrived a couple of days ago, so I had to get more fruit and vegetables to “feed” it. Unfortunately getting some of the fruit and vegetables that Jason Vale & Co recommend wasn’t possible in my local Dunnes Stores, but I was able to get some new ingredients to [...]
Since I started my 2012 attempt to lose weight I’ve made some progress, but I’ve also had a number of bad periods. One thing, however, that I have learnt is the importance of both portion control and tracking what you eat and drink. I tried the Tesco Diet for a few months, but found it [...]
