Best Liver Detox (Supplements Included)

July 12, 2018 2 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I have decided to do a liver detox to help cleanse my liver from toxins and alcohol. The best liver detox has supplements included. I will be listing the best methods and also the best healing foods to eat, for maximum results. If you consume alcohol regularly and or smoke, then this detox should be beneficial to you. Also, if you have any of the following symptoms, you may be in need of a liver detox – excessive abdominal fat, bloating, digestion issues, acne/rosacea or blotchiness, excess perspiration or overheating, pain or discomfort in the area of the liver or have had your gall bladder removed. If you are trying to lose weight but it isn’t working or you have had unexplained weight gain then it is also possible you need a liver detox. read more

Mediterranean Diet Plan (What I’m Eating Daily)

Mediterranean tomatoes and mozzarella with olives

Hi Lovelies,

I have been following the Mediterranean diet for a while now and I’m enjoying the benefits so far. I have just introduced 5:2 intermittent fasting into the mix so I am happy to be losing weight and feeling great. If you want to read more about this diet, check out my previous post on it here “The new 5:2“. The first couple of weeks take a bit of adjusting to since the calorie reduction to 800 is a bit restrictive, but actually it isn’t too bad at all. The newer version of the 5:2 allows 800 calories instead of 500, as it was previously. The extra 300 calories is a lot less difficult to stick to. read more

Mediterranean Diet Basics and My Weight Loss Journey

March 28, 2018 No Comments

Hi lovelies,

I am back in France after a lovely summer in New Zealand but unfortunately the weight I had planned to lose over there is still in place and I didn’t stick to any diet or workout regime over there. I had visions of running every day and becoming a healthier version of myself but I was in constant holiday mode so I never really got around to it haha. Oh well, I am ready for the challenge now and more motivated than ever!

Righto, so here is what happened in New Zealand. After living in France for the last 3 and a half years, I have missed sliced bread. Sounds crazy but you can’t get a decent sliced pan of plain bread here! There are so many and varied breads to choose from and boulangeries on every street corner that the old sliced pan never really took off here. Growing up in Ireland, we ate white sliced bread every day. Toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and toasties whenever we felt like it. So I basically missed that, being my comfort food for so long. Needless to say, once we arrived sliced pans were abundant and we were munching on white sliced bread daily. Our local shop was quite expensive over there so vegetables were really over priced. Unfortunately, being in holiday mode ( ah feck it, I’m on holidays! ) I ended up buying sugar-laden muesli bars every time I went to the shop and became hooked on them. I was probably eating 2 a day, thinking they were better than chocolate bars and a healthier option. At least thats what I told myself! read more

How to Improve Gut Health Naturally

Buddha holding flower petals at stomach - gut health

Hi Lovelies,

Today I’m talking about how to improve gut health naturally, and why it is so important. Maintaining a healthy gut is essential to maintain our overall health so we should be making it a priority. I’ll be honest when I tell you, I hadn’t heard much about maintaining a healthy gut until last year. Gut health was definitely a buzz-word online and in the media so I have done a lot reading up on it. It is most definitely not a passing phase and needs to be on top of our list in terms of staying healthy. I touched off the subject in my recent blog post on Apple Cider Vinegar. read more
