This past weekend I joyously got to catch up with a dear girlfriend at the Sydney Vegan Markets. Surrounded by such abundant plant based deliciousness we both had the happy problem: “What of ALL the tempting options to pick?” This is increasingly becoming a common question – at least in my neck of the woods – and I’m most grateful. However it ... READ MORE

In today’s show I’m addressing the question: How To Become Vegan By Utilizing The Be, Do, Have Model. To Be, before you Do and before you Have is an approach I unconsciously utilized when I first became a personal trainer around 12 years ago.  If you’ve been struggling to get adopting a vegan lifestyle (or any big lifestyle change) to stick then there’s a fair chance you’ve been diligently focusing ...

Last week I jumped on the scales for the first time in around 18 months.  When it comes to the scales I’m just as prone to major freak out mode as anyone else.

Do you have a fav body part to train? Is it the one you’re best at? The area that needs most work? My fav body part to train is butt. I LOVE that a previous problem area is now an asset. Back in the early 90’s I’d get around with not one but two jumpers tied around my waist to ... READ MORE

Today I want to address an emotive and controversial topic: Myths About Farming and The Drought here in Australia. To set the scene, although I haven’t eaten meat for 25 years and have been an ethical vegan for 2.5 years I didn’t always see the disconnect between saying “I love animals” and then deciding some animals are friends and some animals are food. In ... READ MORE

“I Just Can’t Stop Eating!” I know my fellow emotional eaters will be able to relate to this statement made in exasperation by one of my dear clients recently. I’ve absolutely muttered those words in the past too. In fact it’s because I have so much experience in the: “I Just Can’t Stop Eating!” frustration and at times self loathing, that I want to ...

One of the many things I’ve changed my mind on regarding getting lean is the importance of good fats in your daily eating routine. I wasted years avoiding fat. I had a skinny-fat body. Yes, I could fit into small sizes but I looked weak, soft and certainly NOT fit. Even worse I felt weak. I was always hungry and because ... READ MORE
