How big a deal is calcium when losing weight? And if you don’t fancy dairy, are intolerant, vegan or simply looking to mix up your Healthy Extra A choices, how else can you get calcium in your diet?

This episode is for those who follow a dairy AND dairy free diet! Anna and Clare reveal some of the foods which could give you a boost in calcium without you even realising. Things like kale, spring greens, sardines and Brazil nuts!

For more about following the plan whilst dairy free, members can read and search for an article titled ‘No Dairy, No Problem’ on the LifeLine Online website. There’s also the ‘dairy free 7 day menu’ too.

How often have you thought ‘I only lose weight when I do Body Magic’, or ‘I’ll lose weight next week because I’ll exercise more’? Not exercising often gets the blame when we don’t see a loss on the scales. Well, it might surprise you to hear that if you Food Optimise without exercise – you WILL lose weight. Anna and Clare debunks the myths some of us kid ourselves with around Body Magic and discuss what it really means for our weight loss journey (and beyond). Please note fellow nerds: This episode contains a quiz!

There are 179 days left in the year...Let's face it, it's been a tumultuous last six months. So let's pause and reflect on whether we're carrying over some of the guilt of any lockdown gains. Are we relying on old habits and 'that's just the way I've always done it' or 'it worked before' limited beliefs? With so many people restarting their journeys in 2021, now seems a good point in the year to stop and make sure we're steering our ship in the right direction - without the guilt of yesteryear journeys. Get the journals ready for Anna and Clare's five step question and answer reflection exercise.

How do you fit losing weight into a busy working lifestyle with a family? Regardless of your base health, gender, religion and dietary requirements? 

Anna and Clare are joined by a ray of sunshine on today's episode: Zaheer Bhatti...A member who lose nearly 4 stone, an IT business analyst by day, dad of two and a Slimming World consultant by night. 

We spotted Zaheer in the recent edition of the Slimming World magazine and were wowed by his story. So we simply HAD to invite him on to the pod to share how he makes Food Optimising work for his lifestyle and what difference losing weight has had. Clue: it's transformed not only his life, but his whole family's... 

Contains some brilliant advice in our conversation around not feeling shame in asking for help. Plus a lovely appearance from Zaheer's 11 year old daughter, Anaaya.

There’s more to weight loss than simply the number of calories in and out. As the lockdown restrictions ease, we’re on a mission to spread a vital message: that now is the perfect time to enjoy the freedom of losing weight while eating the food you love – without counting every single calorie. Because, as you know, with Food Optimising, the counting’s done for you! So how does it work? 

Slimming World dietician and public health manager, Carolyn Pallister and Professor of appetite and energy balance, James Stubbs join Clare and Anna in a fascinating discussion revealing what we really need to know about calorie counting.
