When it gets towards the end of the week and I'm running out of ideas for dinner, I love to throw together an 'anything goes' stir-fry! Its a great way to use up all those odds and ends in your fridge, saving on waste and might just keep you from ordering a takeaway too! If... Continue Reading →
Its less than 6 months until I line up for the start of my first ever marathon - the 2019 Virgin Money London Marathon - so it's time to buckle down and get serious about training. Even a quick 5 minute Google search can pull back hundreds of online training plans, all hugely varying in... Continue Reading →
Ever since I started my running journey, I have dreamed of running the London Marathon. It is such an iconic event, the must-do once in a lifetime race for any keen amateur runner. I've often gone into London on race day over the years and been totally blown away by the incredible atmosphere and support... Continue Reading →
One of the things people most miss on a ketogenic diet is bread, perhaps a lovely toasted slice to go with your poached egg and avocado! A few low-carb bread products have started to creep their way onto supermarket shelves recently as the low-carb movement grows in popularity, so I have been taking the time... Continue Reading →

Some of my favourite meals and recipes come at the end of the week when I am trying to use up random bits of leftover ingredients in the fridge before the weekend grocery delivery. This week I had half a packet of sliced ham and a large chunk of celeriac to use up, and so... Continue Reading →
I've been trying to get more organised by making up two or three of my work packed lunches in advance at the weekend. This week I tried out a savoury broccoli cake, which is essentially a frittata with almond flour added into the mixture. This gives the loaf a really nice cake-like texture which I...

Preparation is the key to making it through the working week on a ketogenic diet. The vending machines at my work place are stuffed full of carb-laden crisps and chocolate, so I need to make sure I bring with me a satisfying lunch and enough snacks to keep me on track until hometime. I like... Continue Reading →
