I thought I would put this short article together because I had a few emails along the lines of ‘quinoa is super healthy isn't it, I should be eating that over rice shouldn’t I?’. It made me think.. hang on a minute – no, rice is perfectly healthy too! 

The Paleo diet…

I have been asked extensively on my thoughts/tips/advice on the Paleo diet and I have tried it for a month before, so I feel I have some insight to give.

Happy first day of Spring!

A quick update of fruits and vegetables in season for Victoria:

Prepared and packaged food isn't something you should live off, but we all need something quick, easy and convienient sometimes.  

Did you know most nuts have more kilojoules (calories) per 100g than chocolate? And eating a whole avocado can be equivalent to eating 6 slices of bread in terms of kilojoules?

Olive oil vs Coconut oil- Coconut Oil is high in saturated fat, so in the past was labeled 'bad', but in the last couple of years it has been back on the 'healthy list'. The evidence and research is certinally behind Olive Oil being a very healthy oil to include in the diet. So I mostly use Olive oil, but different oils have their rightful place in the pantry.
