Some foods do way more than you'd ever imagine, even down to making you more attractive to the opposite sex.
 

Your diet is your lifestyle, so if you desire a fab slim figure, loads of energy and the secret to happiness, in a long fun packed life, you have to invest your time in creating an eating plan that includes no more than 2000 calories a day, including alcohol

Comfort eating is the act of by passing your hungry full instictive response to feel pleasure in your reward centre. By learning to recognise and respond when you are stepping over the fine line to being out of control you can have your cake and eat it too.

How often do you find yourself in the mood for food without ever understanding the trigger. Common sense tells us if we listen to only our body (not our mind craving comfort) it tells us when it's time to eat.

Did you notice once you got to a certain age your stomach has a mind of it's own and I am not talking tyres or belly fat you just cannot shift but painful and Homer Simpson style bloat.

In Hollywood they've tried everything, everywhere. If something is good for the inside it can often be used effectively (and cheaply) on the outside too but sometimes things that have been used for centuries in other parts of the world are just starting to catch on.

Eating one portion of unsalted nuts everyday is the best investment in your health and well being you will ever make

Insight comes from experience so I can say with integrity this detox plan works

We all think that by putting avocado on our faces, hair, skin, we will benefit from its anti aging properties...

We all know why we love a cup of regular tea or coffee (unless it's decaff). The caffeine does give us a lift but any unnatural high has a come down. Swapping your regular morning kick start for an herb tea alternative takes some getting used to but once you've made the switch and got over the couple of days headache as your body adjusts you'll be surprised how quickly you begin to look forward to your new good morning pick me up.

When you find yourself over the hill in the Hollywood Hills there are thousands of trainers, nutritionists, stylists, medical professionals available to sell you on their latest and greatest potion, cure all, feng sui, energy clearing, tools, tips and techniques to get you through menopause for a price.

If you want to lose weight and look great up your water intake.

It is hard to imagine we are in recession when so many people are over-eating, over weight and overspending. Two thirds of adults in the UK are classed as obese. Obesity in poverty is an oxymoron, surely? So what has happened and why are we spending money we don’t have on food we don't need that in the end makes us sick?

When I was rich and successful I would eat out all the time in the some of best restaurants in the world, never batting an eyelid at the cost because it was usually worth every...

How do I stay looking young in Hollywood, is the most frequently asked question I get from women and not just women my own age but younger women as well. Why not create the perfect lifestyle for health, vitality and defying the aging process all on a budget for yourself?

I will admit, once upon a time, going from being a shopaholic to a chocaholic almost overnight which led me to gain some unwanted weight in all the wrong places and left me feeling pretty miserable and unhealthy. These days, since enlightenment and some education about what is real chocolate and what are just sugar and toxins, I avoid anything white, milk and go only for 80% cocoa dark.

The truth is anything that is addictive is bad for you. When I was growing up...

I am a great believer in quality of life and making sure every day is the best one yet. After a near death experience and being forced have a full hysterectomy at 48, it was a no brainer for me to begin talking HRT. I am a big fan of this medicine which helps keep menopause at bay and me from becoming itchy, bitchy, scratchy, moody, bloated, dried up and miserable.

My top tip for menopause, if HRT is out, is to start introducing houmous and chick peas as much as...

A handful of nuts will do more to help you lose weight than any other snack. Don't be put off them thinking the high calories just aren't worth it. Don't think comfort eating think miracle cure instead.

Pumpkin seeds are a "super food". The seeds are rich in the amino acids, alanine, glycine and glutamic acid, also containing high amounts of zinc and Omega 3 essential fatty acids. They contain high quantities of protein, iron, phosphorous and a tablespoon a day would be a good addition
to any healthy diet, particularly for vegans and vegetarians. Pumpkin seeds are also low in carbohydrates.

Pumpkin seeds, and the oil they contain, have...

I love avocado so much I eat it almost every day because of its amazing health benefits both in the vanity department and in the internal health department.  Most people believe this food to be too high in fat calories which they believe will pile on the pounds and make them fatter but this is a misconception.
Avocado is high in fat calories but it is good fat that your body is able to turn into nutrients, energy and essential protein fuel, helping keep us fuller longer...
