Elin shares her Dairy Free Mocha Truffles recipe – In Sweden we have a word that you don’t have here in Australia. The word is “Fika” and it basically means “Sit down, relax, have a coffee and a treat” (usually a delicious, Swedish cinnamon bun). Do I have to tell you it’s my favourite word? […]

The most common question in the fitness and health industry is BY FAR “What’s the best diet to lose weight?” (well maybe it shares first spot with “How do I get a six pack?“) The truth is what everyone hates to hear – it depends. This isn’t sexy to say and its why there are […]

In my previous post about calories, I established that, in order to lose weight, you need to eat less than you burn. It sounds easy enough but without counting your calories it becomes a complicated guessing game where the odds aren’t always in your favour. If you don’t put the extra effort into counting calories, […]

Calories. A topic everyone seems to have an opinion on. Here’s everything you need to know about them. A calorie is a unit of energy. Basically, everything we consume (except water) contains calories and everything we do burns calories (yes, even sleeping and eating). You can think of calories like fuel for your body, without […]

Welcome back. For my second post, I’m switching it up and talking about all things sweet. Do you often crave something sweet after finishing your meal? I know I do!   I always get a lot of questions about this and I think, as it’s getting colder, we become even more likely to reach for […]
