Click here to see an article that I was quoted in for Longevity magazine (Jan 2011 issue) on staying on track during the festive season!

If you are struggling to lose weight or simply want to eat a bit healthier, there is nothing more effective than a food diary.

A food diary is a record of what you eat and at what times you eat. By keeping this record, it makes it easier to pick up anywhere you are going wrong with your eating and thus allows you to change these behaviours. For example, you may find that you overeat when you get home from work before dinner. Therefore, by perhaps introducing a mid-afternoon snack this will help to curb the post-work nibbling.

Similarly, a food diary is also useful if you find that you are an emotional eater. By including in your food journal any emotions you experienced at the time of eating, you can then identify what emotions cause you to eat. For example, you may find you eat out of boredom, therefore by distracting yourdelf with another activity instead of eating, this will help to prevent you from eating out of boredom.

Another advantage of a food diary, is that by knowing you have to write down your food, it will make you think twice before eating something simply because it's there or if you're not really hungry.

So, if you want to conquer your bad eating habits, just be sure to get it in writing!

Do your New Year's resolutions already seem like a distant memory? You can rekindle your motivation by setting yourself small, manageable goals. For example, losing 10kg in 1 month is unrealistic but losing 2kg in 1 month is. 

Rather set a goal that is achievable and gives you sense of accomplishment when you reach it, than set a goal that is out of your reach and only makes you feel disappointed when you don't get there!

Good luck everyone!

Hi all!

I'm on 3 Talk with Noeleen today at 15:45 on SABC3. Hope you can watch!

Happy Spring everyone!

I hope that with the new season comes new healthy habits and a bright new outlook!

I am in a new TV show on SABC 3 called "Meet Joe Food" (in some TV Guides it is still being called by its old name "Food Inc"). It's a youth programme, which aims at educating teens and pre-teens on various health- and nutrition-related topics (e.g. weight loss, food allergies and snacking). Catch it at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon and repeated at 6am on a Saturday morning.
See here for the SABC 3 Schedule.

Let me know what you think!

Hi all!

Click here for the Lonegevity magazine May 2010 article "Sniffle Stoppers" that I was quoted in!

See a clip from my appearance on the TV show Top Billing here. The show involved educating a pair of twins, who are runners and are about to compete in Comrades, as to how they can improve their diet and thus their performance - starting with breakfast.
