Live Happy, Eat Dirty Podcast with Kate Harrison (including The 5:2 Diet)

Fed up with over-hyped and overpriced 'superfoods'? In the second episode of our brand new podcast, we look at some unexpected new superfood candidates, including smelly cheese.

In the second episode of Live Happy Eat Dirty – we celebrate the positive steps we can take to be healthy, happy and in good shape. And we preview the new book, The Dirty Diet – ditch the guilt, love your food.

Featuring Kate Harrison and dietitian Helen Phadnis – also known as NomNomNerd!

Including:

• Gorgonzola or goji berries – which is the real superfood?
• Why flapjacks and fruit crumble are part of a healthy diet….
• And hooray for crunchy-munchy foods and coffee!

We also talk about the idea of 'smart harvesting' and how the microbes in our gut explain why some of us put more weight on than others.

And why The Dirty Diet was almost called The Cheese and Pickle diet…

For lots more information about the effect of microbes on your health and weight, we really recommend the Gut Microbiota for Health website.

To tie in with Kate's new intermittent fasting approach – The Dirty Diet: Ditch the Guilt, Love your Food – this podcast is going to get bigger and better, with episodes on:

This podcast is a summertime special to accompany my new summer e-book 5:2 Summer Ready, which takes favourite tips, recipes and ideas from my four 5:2 books – it’s the ideal short introduction if you’ve never read a book on intermittent fasting. (If you do have my other books, you won’t need this new e-book – but this podcast will be perfect for re-inspiration!). And even if you're in the southern hemisphere, where I know summer is a memory right now, I hope you'll find it useful!

The podcast includes tips on boosting your fasting success; my views on the 'summer body' controversy; ideas for enjoying that summer feeling all-year-round AND, a specially recorded 10-minute meditation (which you can also download and listen to separately).

I recorded the podcast on Brighton beach, just past the West Pier – so you’ll hear authentic wave sound effects, not to mention our giant seagulls! There are lots of tips plus a very special relaxing meditation to help you relax and stay on track with your healthier, more confident life…

This specially recorded 10-minute meditation accompanies the e-book, 5:2 Summer Ready, which takes favourite tips, recipes and ideas from my four 5:2 books – it’s the ideal short introduction if you’ve never read a book on intermittent fasting. The meditation combines positive messages and relaxation techniques to help you on fasting and non-fasting days.

This will take around 10 minutes and help you feel relaxed and inspired. If you enjoy it, let me know and I’ll record more! Read more about the book and the techniques in the shownotes.

Important: Because you’re aiming for a state of relaxation, you should not use this when you’re in charge of machinery, driving a car or otherwise need to be completely aware of your surroundings.
