This is a lovely, summery dish - and it involves two of my favourite things - pasta and cheese! I've tweaked the original to cut down o...

Warning - non dieting entry (aka food porn) ahead. So yesterday, D treated me to lunch at one of our absolute favourite restaurants.  I ma...

About eight years ago I decided to jump on the Atkins bandwagon. It was not during a particularly affluent period of my life, but I somehow ...

Apparently, lack of sleep has been linked to obesity. I don’t think that can possibly be true. If it were I would be a size 8 by now. I am...

Last night, I was looking at some old photos. Well, I say old, they were taken nearly six years ago. Back in August 2004, D and I had been...

When I’m in a bad mood and feeling resentful of the Weight Watchers treadmill, the main stick-to-beat-it-with that I can come up with is tha...

When you make a conscious effort to overhaul your eating habits for the better you have to decide where The Line is for you. As I’ve said be...
