A Foodies Guide To Traveling Healthily
The sixth issue of the Expatriates magazine is now out. I have the pleasure of being a contributing writer and their nutrition in Paris expert; and I’m sharing my latest article with you here:
Early one morning, around 10 years ago, I found myself lugging my backpack through a small town in north-east Italy, tired, hungry, and in an awfully grey mood. I’d only been in Italy a few days, but after multiple meals of hand rolled pasta, delicate risotto, full bodied wine and creamy gelato, my body was completely worn out from the onslaughtof refined carbs, sugar and a serious lack of all those nutrient dense foods that usually bring so much energy.
4 Things I Learned About Eating Out & Health While Working As A Chef
When I was 15, I left school to train as a chef. Back then, I was somewhat of a wild child. My art teachers thought I was crazy, but most people weren’t surprised.
I loved food. I loved eating it. I loved coking it. I loved talking about it. Not much has changed.
I devoted the first 4 years of my working life building my career in hospitality. I worked in 2-3 restaurants at a time, all around Australia (plus a few in Cyprus), either in the kitchen, or front of house as a waitress or manager.
Crazy Quick and Delicious Mackerel and Red Pepper Sauté
Don’t you just love it when a food that makes you melt with pleasure also happens to be amazingly good for your body? Fatty fish, rich in Vitamin D, selenium and protein, definitely fits into this category.
Omega 3 super-powers.
And then there’s the super omega-3 fats, EPA & DHA. Now we’ve got research telling us that all these omega 3’s can help prevent heart disease, lower blood pressure, cholesterol, quench inflammation, ward of Alzheimer’s, depression and make us a whole lot smarter overall….
Embracing The Beautiful Chaotic Dance Of Life, Change & Your Great Inner Self
In a perfect world, change would be a linear process. You’d start out somewhere you don’t what to be, make a few tweaks, follow through every day and pretty soon you’d soon be a new person and live happily ever after.
But change, as much as we’d love it to be, is not a linear process. And it will never be.
I agree. In some ways, it would be great if we all lived in a nice stable little bubble.

Spring is in the air and you’ve probably started thinking about how you can look your most fabulous on the beach this summer. To achieve that, you’ll need to eat lots of fresh healthy food and start moving your body regularly, but this can be tough if carvings for not-so healthy food keep undermining your best intentions.
What Ultimately Determines The Size Of Your Waist-Line (aka The Power Of Default Meals)
No, it’s not how well you can stick to that new fancy diet you’ve read about in the paper, how much willpower you think you have, or how long you spend sweating it out at the gym each week.
What really determines the size of your waistline is the quality of meals you turn to when you’re tired, busy, or just feeling lazy. I call these your default-meals. We all have them. Your default lunch might look different to your default dinner, or breakfast.
May Healthy Brunch Challenge + Courgette Fritter Recipe
Even though I’m a foodie who loves eating out at great restaurants, I find that there’s something more elegant, comforting, and enriching about inviting my favourite people over for a deliciously healthy meal I’ve cooked myself. For one thing, when I cook, I know that I am eating fresh whole foods that make me feel and look great. But aside from this, I guess it’s also just one of those simple pleasures that I really enjoy. But in all honestly, with my crazy schedule, the dinner thing doesn’t happen as often as I’d like.

Many expats come from a culture of eating extremes: complete deprivation or total gluttony; often swinging from one extreme to the other and from one week to the next. So many of us endlessly cycle between good intentions, diets, deprivation, failure, gluttony, shame, body hatred and guilt.
