Paleo diet, low carb, weight loss, healthy lifestyle
Today we've got the pleasure of sharing Ivy's story of weight loss. Ivy has lost over 45lbs/20kgs and has some great info to share. If you want to learn more about Ivy she blogs over at Paleo In Melbourne :) How did your story begin? I have always yo-yo'ed on the scales. Ever since I hit my mid-teens. Not by much- normally, 5-10 kilos up and down- but as I got older I tended to gain more after each diet, finding myself heavier each and every … [Read more...]
I've just arrived home from a VERY inspiring conference for the past few days. It's been a while since I've flown interstate and had the challenge of eating well while away from home. As many of you are no doubt aware, paleo eating away from home and in social situations is tough to navigate. Unfortunately it's always going to be this way so it's up to us to make healthy choices. So here's how I managed to eat as close to paleo as possible while … [Read more...]

Most weeks are pretty busy for me so I wanted to create a strategy to minimize time during the week but still have a varied, interesting, and yummy menu. So I've designed a 2 hour meal plan big cook up prep day that's working really well for me. On Sunday I spend about 2 hours doing preparation for the entire week, it has been so liberating. I'm working on one of the meal plans to give … [Read more...]
I absolutely love slow cooker meals! You put them on overnight and have breakfast ready-made. You put them on before you leave for work and come home to dinner already cooked. And you can cook up great stews and soups that make the best type of freezer meals too. They make cooking convenient and really save you lots of time in the kitchen. With so many to choose from, what is the best slow cooker to use? Especially now that there are the old … [Read more...]

I'm a big fan of home workouts because you can do them at a time of your own convenience, they don't cost you ongoing fees, and you can tailormake them to your mood (not always a good thing). But does working out at home mean you have to have all sorts of home fitness equipment? It certainly doesn't. All you really need is a few essential items and you can virtually do everything you need to. In fact, you can get away without anything at all … [Read more...]
