My Day...
No wonder we have over 300 people in our current Juice Plus group eating healthier, losing fantastic amounts of weight on a weekly basis (the natural way) and noticing all the additional benefits of having up to 26 fruit and veg extracts in their daily diet. I’m currently looking for someone to join our team and help to keep up with growing demands for this amazing product, so let me know if...

Little Changes...
I love the complete shakes but wow these add another level to my health and wellbeing.
I swopped on to these 10days ago and using these along side the shakes has doubled and doubled my nutrition intake big time… I feel so much more energised, up at 6am without trouble every day, recover from my daily training sessions better, skin is glowing, crave even more good foods and sleep so much...
Why I dont advise Dairy to my clients...
I get many many of my clients if they can use semi skimmed milk in with the #shake+ program. I always always say NO. Almond, Soya, Rice Milk is THE best alternative!! Why? What Cutting Dairy Out Can Do For You: Weather you feel that something isn’t right with your diet or you know that something you are eating is causing problems then cutting dairy out should be your first port of call. First off...
TheSkinnyRules Festive Detox: Day Four
After yesterdays hard core work out I was BACK in the studio doing some one to one conditioning.
Started of with a hearty Breakfast of Juice Plus+ Shake with berries and headed to get my ass kicked… literally!!

Makes you get a real sweat...

Another challenging day.. Toxins are taking over my cravings so doubled up on my chewies today to try push them out!!
Breakfast as standard a juice plus shake with berries
Hit the Tarmac for a 30min run before heading home to tackle the paper work.
After my run I had a banana for recovery and low release energy.
Lunch I had my pal Frankie round so made us some tuna with salsa with brown...
TheSkinnyRules Festive Detox: Day Two
Hello Day Two!! Today has been a wee little bit harder, just glad I had my PT with me most of the day since we was doing a JuicePlus event so its made me stay on track. Toxins are still in my body whirling round giving me every craving imaginable and for things I don’t particularly enjoy like chocolate, but for some reason I crave it!! Started my day standard with a JuicePlus #Shake+...
TheSkinnyRules Festive Detox: Day One
So, probably, like me you’re probably feeling pretty lousy after the 2012 festivities. More so for me as I am bit of a health freak so when it comes to slightly indulging I feel 10x worse as I dont tend to have such things as white potatoes, christmas treats and most of all champagne or prosecco…. LOTS of Prosecco!! Where do you go from here? Start by getting your mind set right. If...

Vision Board for 2013/2014
Last may I made a wish list for all the things I wanted to achieve for the year. Now I have achieved them all its time to set my sights for 2013 and put together what I want from 2013. My mentor always encouraged me to create a vision board as the sub conscious actually makes it happen without you even realising it. In May 2012 I made a post on all the things I wanted bit of a wish list…

Why we should cut out bread from our diet!!!
The rate at which you’ll lose weight by cutting out bread depends at least partly on the amount of bread you eat each day. The more bread you eat, the more likely you are to shed pounds by eliminating it from your diet. But results are also affected by the food you use to replace bread. Just cutting bread products won’t melt away the pounds, especially if you’re eating other...

Why we should look after our Liver!!
The consequences of mistreating the liver include obesity, a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue, headaches, digestive problems, allergies and many other ailments. And although the immune system protects our body from many dangers, it is the liver that protects the immune system from overload.

#TheSkinnyRules Cauliflower Pizza
Healthy Pizza made easy….
Why make a pizza without the dough? Well, many reasons, I’ll just give you the 2 reasons that inspired me to try cauliflower pizza.
1. Each of these pizzas are about 300 calories. Serve it with a side salad and you have an entire plate full of food and not a lot of calories. A REAL piece of pizza alone is over 300 calories. And who eats just one piece? Exactly!

Too much fruit is bad for you:
If you are losing weight and using fruit to snack on. STOP. You are probably over eating it!!!
And heres why:
Too Much Fruit Can Hinder Weight Loss Problems with raw food weight loss and too much fruit may hinge upon several factors: • Relying too much on sweet fruits for raw food intake: some fruits contain higher amounts of sugar than others. All fruits contain more calories than green...

CARDIO CRIMES:
Only Doing Cardio Cardio exercise has tons of amazing benefits for your health and weight loss. So if you’re doing any cardio at all, kudos to you! But if cardio is the only form of exercise in which you partake, you are really missing out. You may even be at risk for what many people fear: becoming “skinny fat.” Many people think of cardio as the key to fat-burning, and it is...

Three Types of Bodies. Which one are you?
Three Body Types: #1. Endomorph
From all three body types, endomorphs are “fat retainers”. As an endomorph you will always struggle to lose weight and will have to pay much more attention to what you eat and how you exercise because you are genetically prone to store fat easily.
I know. It’s incredibly frustrating, it seems downright unfair… The good news is that with...
Kemer Trip
So most of you know I have been away for 10 blissful days in the Turkish sunshine. Being back a week in UK I have holiday blues and reminded myself that I need to blog and share my experience.
We (myself and my left arm Mr B) took a trip to a villa situated in Kemer not far from Fethiye in Turkey. Kemer is an old farming town surrounded by beautiful sky high mountains, so high they have the...

Keep that metabolism rate up..
We all think starving ourselves will make it the next size 6. Wrong!!! It MAY work on a very small and quick temporary basis but in the end it will only do more harm than good.
Starving our bodies sends messages, confusing messages that we are not getting any food. The food we DO get will automatically be stored, stored as FAT. Yes thats right. FAT!

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably undergone a successful weight loss effort, but need a little help trying to figure out how to lose the last 10 pounds. Or maybe you’re just trying to educate and prepare yourself for when the time comes. The truth is, great progress can be made at the beginning of a new fitness program, but the drastic body transformations start to slow down as there is less...

Being brave..
So this weekend I have a friends birthday party @ Living Room, Manchester. This outfit is probably not something for this venue, but hey fashion is suppose to break all the rules!!
I don’t want to be boring and wear a plain boring dress/outfit, I want something on trend exotic. So in a search for something a little out- there, floral, girly, bright and different I turned to my favourite...

The Weekender..
As promise, I was going to blog about the weekend using my borrowed SLR Camera. Since its was my homeboys birthday it was a perfect opportunity to go out have fun and experience life through an SLR lens.
If you have never been to Harrogate, its a must see place, typically British, typically Yorkshire. Only took us an hour from Manchester, we stopped off to see our little niece on finally at...
Using an SLR Camera
So to up my blogging skills, as I am pretty much well in to it, a friend lent me their Canon EOS 60D (no idea if thats good or bad) to get a feel for the different in quality and settings.
Not to blow my own trumpet but I am pretty good behind the camera, and also know what to do in front of it. For those who don’t know me already I do a spot of modelling, nothing major just a bit of fun..

Rubbish friend visitor..
Those who are close to me realise I am RUBBISH when it comes to organising my diary to fit in to see my friends!! My excuse for a busy life, is in fact not as busy as I make out, as I just HAVE to have down time, or I will probably just run myself to the ground. Running two business’, fitting in the gym, seeing friends, being with my mr is hard work - I don’t even have kids yet lol.

Mark Colbourne - Para Cyclist Champion
Today I had the pleasure of meeting this man at a Juice Plus+ meeting he is the most inspirational person of 2012- Mark Colbourne. Originally from Wales this man has been through the most challenging 2 years of his life.
A few years ago he was injured in a horrific para-glyding accident 2009 and broke his spine, tragically paralysing himself. This multi talented athlete was no longer able to...
