do you want more on weight loss?

Is a shrimp waterproof?

One of the curses of our losing body fat is the return of cravings – especially after a few ‘good weeks’. The dreaded dime bars and booze raise their ugly heads! And nothing will make you gain weight faster than sugar and alcohol - both of these will shunt fat onto your love handle area, hence the muffin top phenomenon gripping the UK. Two big tips you may not have heard of before - listen up:

1. Cook with Coconut oil. Forget Olive Oil – it does not bode well in high temperatures. Briefly – forget all you may think you know about this oil – (Saturated fat=bad), it is fantastic for a sluggish metabolism and protects against Candida (no room for more here). If you have Candida weight loss can be really hard to achieve. I have tested many (women) for Candida and it is common, causing fatigue, muzzy heads and lots of other symptoms, including CRAVINGS It ‘feeds’ off sugar and alcohol! Coconut oil is also a great blood sugar stabiliser, and can lower the glycaemic index of your meals! All good stuff! More?

2. Sunlight. Noticed how we feel in winter, compared to summer? We want stodge! Sunlight stimulates the ‘feel good’ hormone serotonin, our natural anti -‘S.A.D’. Without enough of it, we also reach for the ‘carbs’, as they artificially duplicate positive setatonin levels. Bad news? – we then suffer from a big insulin spike - resulting in weight gain! Grrr. So get out in the fresh air! 20 minutes is all you need a day, preferably mid day when the sun is at it’s highest. Remember – it is the LIGHT we need so even in winter get out and enjoy even if no apparent sun is evident.
