Until now I've resisted having a dedicated weight loss section because I felt that a person's overall health was the real goal. However, after many years of talking to people, I realise that they view this health journey in steps. First they want to lose weight and feel they've achieved something and then they want to maintain their weight with a health-promoting diet and lifestyle. So, I've got a whole section dedicated to healthy, sensible and sustainable weight loss.read more...

Here's my must-buy list of products I've come to use and enjoy. These are products whose ingredient list and nutrition credentials I'm happy with. Many make my life easier when I'm trying to get dinner done in a hurry or when I need a quick snack to grab. A couple are my clients' products that I use myself at home. You can be assured that I only recommend what I have tried and use myself. I try to buy Australian made wherever I can but sometimes there are a few overseas lines that just hit the mark and where there's no Aussie-made equivalent. I'd love to have your feedback.

Try this fairly standard stock recipe and you'll never go back to commercial stock cubes or powder. It has loads of gutsy flavour but no added salt so can be used by anyone on a salt-free diet. If you must add some, just use half a teaspoon and taste as you go.
