Thai king prawn Laksa curry lunch in the sun today at Phat Phuk noodle bar London
Low carb and protein Thai lunch on London’s Kings road Chelsea. My favourite little cafe with Thai street food. Yummy healthy and inexpensive. I always ask the rice noodles to be replaced with vegetables so they add extra broccoli and leaves. The base ingredient of a Laksa is coconut milk which has loads of health […]
National old headshot week
Me from what seems a 100 years ago! We don’t appreciate how we looked when we were young until we are older. . . . . .
Loving this quick and easy healthy homecooked lunch dish
Rocket leaves, peeled raw courgette, grated parmesan, lemon juice, honey mustard and pomegranate dressing, and sprouted seeds. . . . .
Another protein and low carb breakfast idea
Scrambled eggs with spinach, avocado and tomatoes. You could leave a 12 hours interval before you eat your breakfast, after your last meal the eve before. This gives your digestion a chance to rest. 16-18 hours is an optimum gap if you’re on a weight loss journey. On 2 consecutive days for the best result. […]
Modified side plank exercise
This is an easier version of the plank. This is a good alternative plank strengthening exercise, especially after a knee injury as there is no pressure or strain on the knees holding in this position when the core or glutes and hamstrings are still weak. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio
Pilates hover exercise
This exercise can be the precurser to a plank. It engages the glutes, core, and deep abdominals. The back has to be straight and the head aligned. It’s harder than it looks to keep the back in line and shoulders down and not curve the back upwards when raising and holding the hover position. . […]
2nd exercise following on from hip flexor stretch using the foam roller
Basic table top toe taps to engage the core, glutes and lower abdominals. Using the foam roller in this position can help stop the hip flexors coming into action too when the core is still weak. . . . . .
Hip flexor stretch
Today’s physio pilates rehab exercise. Simple and so effective. Sometimes when getting back to full strength less can be more. A few repetitions correctly executed before your muscles tire again can be more efficient than loads of repetitions incorrectly done. . . . . . with thanks to @theliftingphysio @bh_beyondhealth
My wheat free low carb and protein breakfast
The chef in the cafe who cooked breakfast this morning was obviously feeling creative with the chillies. 2 poached eggs on crushed avocado with chillies and wilted spinach. No toast and an espresso.
Finally a chance to relax in the sun by the pool
In the Isle of Wight, UK. It’s important to find time for yourself- even 5 minutes- however busy you are with your work, your family, your chores, your day to day life. If you don’t look after you who else is going to? .
