Most people in the UK eat and drink too many calories, too much saturated fat, sugar and salt, and not enough fruit, vegetables, oily fish or fibre.

In 2018, a new medical clinic opened in my town. I registered to become a new patient. Upon meeting my new doc, one of the first things we discussed at the consultation was my diabetes and I will never forget his statement during that appointment “when you’re ready I can help you”. I sat with it for a month and then made my life-changing appointment. It was this appointment and his consultation on intermittent fasting that changed my life. He gave me resources and suggested reading on the subject and I began with 16:8 intermittent fasting. I admit that at first, I thought maybe my new family doc was questionable! He was asking me not to eat?? This went against everything I thought I was educated about regarding diet. I told myself, you did everything else the other experts said and although it somewhat helped, you still feel awful, so I made the decision to give intermittent fasting a 3-month trial. However, to add to this, I met an old mate, who appears in these photos, for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century, this month. And he looked exactly the same to me. But he is not, he is one of the thin, skinny guys on the photos. And I am going blind anyway! And hopefully he is too!!! When I work with clients, I employ a weight-inclusive, intuitive movement, all-foods-fit approach. By 'all foods fit,' I mean that all foods can fit into an eating pattern that works for that particular person. Together, we explore what foods the client actually likes (not what they think they 'should' like; as in, do you actually like the taste of this food?), what sits well with them from a digestive viewpoint (how’s the energy level? Any GI disturbance?), and what 'feeds their soul' (can we take time out to eat? Are we able to take time to cook a meal? Can we slow down surrounding food and connect with others?).

Didn't really listen to SK this morning, dragging myself awake and into the bathroom for the time she was on. Thought she sounded very excited about the whole doing interviews thing. Did read an interesting comment on another radio 2 DJ's blog this week (no, it wasn't this one or the new drivetime one) about possible changes to times. Might be reading too much into it but it did make me think.
