Fat, Fat And MORE Fat!
For over 30 years, fat has generously shouldered the blame for our ever increasing levels of heart disease, cancer and obesity. The message from the media, medical profession and weight loss industry has been clear: fat = bad news. Over the past few years though, a much more fat friendly outlook on how and what we should be eating for optimum health and happiness is developing. We're starting to see that the amount of fat we eat... (posted by Susan 1 year 163 days ago.)

How To Use Food As Medicine
The idea of food as medicine excites me. The thought that every day we can choose to put in our mouths or take into our bodies substances that can add to our ability to live our lives as fully and vibrantly as we possibly can is exhilarating! We can go to our fridge or our pantry or our fruit bowl and choose life, choose a powerful nutrient, choose a magical healing element to become a part of us.... (posted by Susan 1 year 332 days ago.)

How To Beat Food Addiction and Emotional Eating
Many of us use food to numb ourselves, to prop us up when we're down, to quiet our mind or to fill us up when we feel empty. At first glance, food seems like the easiest and quickest solution in so many ways. Food is cheap, legal and simple to obtain, available in every corner shop, cafe, restaurant, home, office, vending machine and lunch bag! In other words, food is a drug...

How To NOT Start Smoking
"Don't ever start smoking you hear? It's a disgusting habit. It stinks, it makes your fingers go all yellow and orange and stains your teeth black and grey. You carry it around with you, like a cloud when you smoke these disgusting cancer sticks. It enters a room with you, comes out in some foul breeze whenever you open your mouth and worst of all, you're always thinking about it. Always distracted, always in the back of your...

How To Quit Without Will Power
Will - faculty by which a person decides or conceives as deciding upon and initiating action. Power - ability to do or act, vigour, energy. Using the above definitions, will power can be described as using one's own vigour and energy to decide upon and initiate action. So, will power is a momentary thing, a short burst of "YES, I can!

How To "Give Up" Once and For All!
When we look at changing our behaviour, any behaviour, many things come into play. There is our positive motivation or the benefits we'll get if we make the change: "I'll be happier/healthier/have more money...etc". Then, there is our negative motivation, or what will happen if we don't make the change: "If I keep doing this I'll get cancer or have a heart attack/be lonely forever/never be able to afford so and...
