If you are starting a new regime, a pre-IVF, pre-Summer, pre-holiday and pre-showing bits of yourself that have been hidden for the Winter, then starting your day as you mean to go on is the way to go. I love the way this green juice makes me feel, it is so clean and fresh and so very green! And when I have it in the morning it inspires me to keep going with the green theme.

SPRING RE-SET RECIPE: Salsa Verde (Green sauce)
This is one of my all-time favourite recipes which really says welcome to Spring. You can transform a simple baked white fish or poached chicken with salsa verde; you can drizzle it over new potatoes, mix it through rice or pasta, and drizzle it over peas, tender stem broccoli and asparagus. It adds such a delicious fresh flavour, and aromatic herbs are stuffed full of nutrients too. With garlic and onion and earthy spicy olive oil it is a really simple way of making something plain delicious w

I think we have finally cracked it at last. If you can stick with the 5:2 diet, and try out different things I think it should work for almost everyone.

In all the talk about the causes of rampaging teenagers I have only heard one brief little sneaked-in mention of the role of diet and behaviour. Is it only poor old much maligned Jamie Oliver who can be brave enough to confront the government with the argument that if you feed growing brains rubbish, there may be behavioural implications?
Read moreFirst venture into blogging….
OK, I am finally overcoming my fear of technology and (almost, though not sure I can tweet!) fully participating in 21st Century communication. Actually I often come across interesting things to do with food and nutrition and think I must remember to tell my clients. So I guess a blog is really ideal for exactly that!
