Say "Halo" to Healthy!

Approaching his 40 th  birthday, Mark set himself a weight loss goal, started the New You Plan on 4 th  March and has since lost more than half his body weight with an amazing 11 stone and 2lb gone.  Mark has gone from a men’s 52-inch waist to a size 28 in just over nine months. He was crowned runner-up in the End 2020 Strong Challenge and won £250 in cash and £125 New You credit.  Here’s what he had to say about his amazing success so far… How do you think the plan has changed your life? Has your health improved? Massively. It was a struggle to get out of bed and get up the stairs and walking. I didn’t do anything. I was literally just eating and not moving. My mum has got a heart condition so that was a little bit of a wakeup call as well. My nan also had a heart condition and I thought ‘you’re heading in the same sort of way here. You’re just getting bigger, bigger and bigger.’ I no longer get chest pain and my health seems to have improved massively. I was ...

Before starting on the New You Plan, John could hardly walk unaided and suffered from a lot of pain as well as angina attacks and diabetes issues.   Since starting on the diet, he has lost an amazing seven stone and can now walk without a stick, has not suffered from an angina attack and no longer takes diabetes medication or painkillers.  He’s gone from a 54 waist to a 36 and feels like a new man. John was crowned winner of the End 2020 Strong Challenge and won £1,000 in cash! Here’s what he had to say about his journey so far… How did you hear about the New You Plan? My brother did it and he won last time! I was in a bit of a state and he gave me the idea of it.  Has the plan changed your life? Yes definitely. To be honest, I don’t think I was much further from having a heart attack and now I feel like a new person. My mum said to me ‘I think this plan has saved your life’. I was a right old state and I was getting depressed. I was eating rubbish and ge...

Well it’s no big secret that a healthy gut is essential for overall health and wellness — studies have linked gut health to: The immune system Autoimmune conditions Mental health  Hormonal balance Heart health So no wonder you’ll hear the term “gut healing” thrown around quite a bit in the health and wellness world. But what exactly does “gut healing” mean? What’s required? When I was working to heal my gut and remedy my chronic bloating, I thought I was doing everything right. I was drinking bone broth plus taking probiotics, digestive enzymes, and L-glutamine. Just as gut health impacts so many other aspects of our physical health, it runs in the other direction too! Gut health extends far beyond popping a probiotic and sipping on some bone broth, and there was so much I was missing. It wasn’t until I started considering the other pieces of the puzzle that I finally felt relief and was able to truly heal my gut. There are numerous considerations, but lets talk about ...

Discussing meditation benefits and how they are proven by research. You’ve probably heard about people vouching for meditation before. Everyone seems to be singing its praises. Nowadays, it’s the number one form of wellness recommended to people. Maybe you’ve decided to give it a go. Maybe you find relaxing your body and brain difficult. It’s a completely normal feeling, since it can be hard to concentrate on the present moment when we’re overwhelmed. And now with further lockdowns taking place across the world, it is even more important to take care of our stress levels.  As a child and a young adolescent, varying factors played a huge role in my deteriorating mental health . I carried it with me like a secret for what felt like an eternity. My life took a 360-degree turn for the better, after I resolutely decided to seek therapy. And it was the same therapist who recommended meditation as a science-backed technique to combat overwhelming feelings and anxious thoughts, ...

I think it’s fair to say that we’re savouring comforting baked delights these days…and making beautiful kitchen memories with our beloveds.

Reflecting on the fact that I’ve been advocating for plant-based recipes – for as long as I can remember – I knew I would need to create t...
