Rip-Tip of the Day:
Do not mistake thirst for hunger. Sometimes dehydration can lead to what feels like a lack of energy and onset hunger, causing you to eat more. If you do feel like you’ve had your fill so far that day, pound a glass of water and see if that settled it. If so, take in an extra litre or two over the next couple of hours to rehydrate fully.

When “dieting” everyone always go for the protein and the fibre (meat and veg) while reducing sugar intake. More often than not the protein and fibre just cant add up to enough calories to sustain healthy function, so your metabolism drops. Add healthy fats (oily fish, oils, avocado, seeds, olives) into your diet to make up the calories while depleting sugars. Your blood ...
