A Note From Liz
Hello!
And welcome to summer!
Unusually this month I’m giving more direct nutrition advice and
focusing less on emotional eating. This is to give you a head start on
dealing with the holiday season – you won’t be able to come back in
September and say I didn’t give you good advice!
Meanwhile we are almost in bucket-and-spade mode… not quite
building sandcastles on the beach but certainly getting all the holiday
equipment together.
One of my children is going on a sea trip with the Royal Navy
(though I think the RN go on voyages, not trips), then he’s off to Italy
and then Spain. Planning that lot takes endless lists and shopping trips.
Then I have a gap year daughter returning and my son’s American girl
friend arriving.
So if the newsletters over the summer are a wee bit shorter, you
know why!

Beam Me Up
Scotty!
Having been exposed to a large number of
Star Trek episodes (my husband is a fan and one of the boys has inherited
his science-fiction loving genes) I’ve realised how unrealistic our ideas
about the future are.
George Orwell got it nearly right in 1984 –
the interactive television on the whole time and security cameras
everywhere. But the TV sci-fi guys have pictured a future where everybody
is slim and can fit into those skin-tight Star Trek suits.
The truth is we are all getting fatter. By
the year 2400 they’ll need bigger seats on the flight deck of the
Enterprise and the emergency medical hologram will be dealing primarily
with type two diabetes and be ordering wider tricorders.
But let’s not order the Lycra fat suit just
yet. Whatever the future holds for the rest of the population you don’t
need to have a fat future.
So some tips to survive holiday eating - so
you’ll stay out of the fat Lycra!
- Don’t go berserk with holiday
eating – chowing down on everything that hits your plate
“because I'm on vacation” is just plain silly. You can do that
once or twice a week but not every day.
- Beware of BBQs - barbecue
food is very meaty, very fatty, and very unhealthy. Go for a plain steak
rather than a fat-filled sausage or burger and nibble, don’t
gobble. Although it’s quite acceptable to go back for fifth helpings at
barbecues you don’t have to do that!
- Keep an eye on how much you
drink – it’s easy to top up your fluid intake with fizzy
drinks. This also dramatically increases your calorie intake for no
nutritional benefit.
So are there any things you can
do?
- Eat more fruit, especially the kind of
fruit you don’t get at home.
- If you have access to a holiday gym, use
it - particularly in a hot climate you may not want to exercise
outside but the gyms are air conditioned.
- Pamper yourself with a facial or
massage.
Above all, relax, enjoy, and live long and
prosper!

About Liz
I have
been looking after people’s health for over fifteen
years.
With a background in biochemistry I was initially interested in how
to boost metabolism to promote weight loss and how to feel satisfied after
eating – what the nutritionists call “satiety”. All of these things
are important for weight loss but for many people the biggest change comes
about when they conquer their emotional eating.
I know this because as a child I was stocky, and then became chubby,
then fat! I hated exercise and loved food. And my love of food went way
beyond physical hunger.
I still love food, but now I know how to enjoy and how
to set limits around it – all without feeing deprived.
With a training in coaching and NLP as well as my knowledge of
biochemistry and nutrition, I am ideally placed to solve your problems
with emotional eating.
Liz’s credentials…
- Degree in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge (that’s
where I get my biochemistry knowledge).
- Degree in Nutritional Therapy (that’s where the nutrition knowledge
comes from).
- Module leader in Masters Level Module Tackling Obesity at the
Centre for Nutrition Education & Lifestyle Management. On this
module I lecture on the biochemistry of eating and starvation, satiety
mechanisms, stress and obesity and emotional eating.
- Fifteen years experience as a herbalist and health coach.
- Practitioner level qualification in NLP, Coaching and Stress
Management.
And, most importantly, a love of food and a passion for health,
wellness and vitality!
