Losing weight might have been easy in your 20’s and 30’s ..but do you sometimes wonder why you’re hitting a plateau? Things that used to work before, somehow are not harnessing the same fat burning power as they used to? What is going on?? Be it the latest diet fad that you’ve heard so many […]
One of the big mysteries in life, and more so in this current decade, is the paradox on how to lose fat and build muscle. I mean how often have you heard the phrase, EAT MORE to build muscle. And EAT LESS to lose fat. It seems counterintuitive to go on calorie restriction then does […]
Have you ever felt, that losing weight seems like an uphill battle? This is totally accurate, because it is. The body is in fact programmed to slow down it’s metabolism if it thinks the body is going into starvation (scarcity of food). So as an obese person starts to cut calories (on purpose in its […]
One of the biggest concerns for me, ironically, whilst working in the fitness industry, is actually eating on time, and getting proper & balanced nutrition into my system.

I’ve never been a huge fan of running gels. Some give me the runs (not make me run better LOL) and some are just too sweet leaving me feeling wired and yet tired all at the same time. Now I’ve found a new running buddy. Ningxia Nitro from Young Living. It is a quick pick-me-up […]
This week has been a challenging one. Luca my 11 month old has been sprouting new teeth and really cranky at night. I was down with the flu which means not much running got done , which means I was feeling even more crappy and low on energy levels. Wow, what an incredibly tiring week. […]
Two fabulous Protein Smoothies I had the pleasure of sharing with the running crew of the Adidas You are Where you Run event…. Recovery is most certainly just as important as the workout itself, but usually the most neglected part by athletes. Muscle tearing that occurs during vigorous exercise needs to mend before the body […]
No time to shop and plan nutrition for the family? This used to be one of my major concerns.. till Kunyit Grocer. Kunyit Grocer will send organic vegetables and fruits (both imported and local) straight to your doorstep.. all you need to do, is order it. Majority of the items are organic. So far, I’ve […]
