Hi!
Even though I have a very effective weight loss program (and more or less the same principles have kept me slim for years) I like to keep an open mind about new ways that help with weight loss.
Sometimes I try out some of the more sensible ideas coming from the latest weight loss research myself and sometimes I just shake my head at the sheer wackiness of some of them.
The latest piece of research I'm going to experiment with involves walking and fish oil....you can read all about it at my Think Slim blog.
Why not join me and see if it helps?
Have a great weekend
Love

Feature Article : Do You Have A Healthy Appetite?
How times change! When you were growing up they said you had a healthy appetite when you ate everything that was put in front of you and then wanted more. You were probably even rewarded with dessert for cleaning your plate.
Now that you've done all the growing you're going to do (at least upwards) a healthy appetite is something else entirely.
So, what does a healthy appetite mean now?
1. Eating the Right Amount
If you eat just enough to feel satisfied at every meal you will be hungry for each of your meals and probably for a snack mid-morning and mod-afternoon too. If you eat so much at any one meal that you don't get physically hungry for 4 or 5 hours after a meal or 2 hours after a snack, you're probably overeating - and that's not healthy. Gradually reduce the amount you eat at any one time. It's easier on your digestion and will increase your energy levels too.
2. Eating Every Meal
Skipping meals forces your body to try and conserve energy - your metabolism is stoked up by eating little and often and reduced when you go without food. Breakfast is especially important as you have then fasted for eight hours or more. Going without breakfast is just not healthy. If you can't face breakfast take healthy food with you if you have to go out and have it as soon as the first hunger pangs strike.
3. Eating Healthfully
A healthy appetite means that you're hungry for good natural food such as fruit, vegetables, lean proteins and whole grains. If you're hungry only for sweet and salty junk food it probably means you're not physically hungry, and don't need to eat. Junk food is addictive - you have some and you want some more. It's calorie-rich without satisfying your nutritional needs and that's not healthy. Gradually replace the junk in your diet with fresh delicious nutritious food and see how much healthier you feel.
4. Eating Foods you Love
While a diet filled with junk food is far from healthy, it's not healthy either to deny yourself the food you love unless you have a real addiction to a particular food. Most cravings are simply caused by forbidding particular foods which makes them more attractive than ever. If you love chocolate treat yourself once a day to a square of the most luxurious chocolate you can find and enjoy every moment as it melts in your mouth. Remind yourself that you can do this every day - you don't have to stuff the whole bar down in a guilty rush.
Making sure that every meal is an enjoyable delight, eating the right amount of food regularly and having the odd treat without going mad - now that's what I call a healthy appetite for grown ups.

Recipe of the week : One Pot Cider Chicken
A fast and healthy dish that saves on the washing up. Serve with additional vegetables if you like - carrots and broccoli or green beans would be good.

350g (12oz) baby new potatoes, scrubbed
