A Moment on the Lips, A Lifetime on the Hips

Most of my clients are busy working professionals, juggling work, commuting and a healthy social life at the same time. Although I always try to encourage good old home cooking, sometimes takeaway is just the easiest solution to getting timely food which fills your belly and satisfies that ravenous hunger.

Unfortunately, take-away foods are packed with FAT, SALT and other nasties, that we are all trying to get away from. Why so? Cos they are fast and they taste good. The human body is programmed to like fat, sugar and salt. In the cave-man days, these nutrients were scarce, so we sought them and prized them like diamonds and pearls. These days, they are abundant, cheap and easily available- contributing to the weight issues of today.

An average woman would need to cycle, - hard, for ~134 minutes (2 hr 14 mins) to stop that from reaching your hips.
