Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be another bestselling fad diet book, there’s a new one about to make it big. Dubbed as the “diet that’s changing diets” it’s just hit our shelves from England and has already got under the skin of many of our UK dietitian colleagues. In fact, it’s already sold…
Exactly thirty years ago, the year I turned 12, we spent 12months living in the USA and I had one of my most memorable meals, the theme of this month’s Recipe ReDux challenge. But of course we have to give it a 2012 makeover. I’ve eaten in some amazing high end places around the world…

With the Olympics in full swing our hallway has become the gymnastics, vault run up. There are catapulting kiddies everywhere. But it seems at my training group it’s all talk about what athletes eat and I keep hearing protein, protein protein. Do you pump up your protein? How much is the right amount? Is more…
It will come as no surprise to hear that this dietitian loves her tea. There’s all that amazing antioxidant science and emerging evidence on the role of green tea in fat loss (we have so got our fingers crossed for that one. Actually, I’m crossing my toes too). I can bet you many dietitians promote…
It’s Recipe ReDux time again – the first recipe challenge by registered dietitians – and the theme is based around a no-cook recipe using the best of the Summer vegetable harvest.
