"I fast until lunchtime – something I often do at the weekends after a later start"

Lol at rebranding 'I got up too late to bother with breakfast' as 'fasting'. Skipping a meal you weren't awake for is hardly a fast!

I mean, if this is the sort of food someone likes, then great, crack on with that - but it's the way she seems to be suggesting that eating like this is the only way to be healthy, and that healthy eating has to mean keto, 'cleansing' juices, powder supplements, obsessing over blood sugar and spending a fortune on it all. It's such a bloody scam.

She is definitely one of the people who would berate other Mumsnetters for giving a toddler cereal.

NoodleDoodleDo · 20/06/2022 17:07

She sounds like a bundle of laughs. I'd practically lost the will to live by Wednesday

I don't get the issue, she likes to eat that way, it seems pretty healthy. It's certainly nutrient dense at least and maybe she likes having food prep to work her life around.

Oh, the issue isn't what she eats.
It's the pretentious codswallop she spouts from her Farrow & Balled ivory tower.

Wouldn't the plebs love to have hours to devote solely to their personal fitness & nutrition every day? As PP pointed out upthread, it's all a bit Marie Antoinette in the current climate.

It's misleading. They quote her education and credentials in a way that makes it look like she knows what she's talking about, then let her make false claims about health and nutrition mixed in with bits of real science, with the borrowed authority of appearing in an edited publication.

It also gives the impression that eating healthily must mean having to spend this amount of effort, and while I don't mind a bit of aspirational journalism about random celebs, it's unhelpful when this is presented as best medical practice (e.g. by describing the subject as though she's an expert on nutrition).

I needed something HEARTY after a workout.

So I poached two eggs.

Piss off.

She must spend her whole day prepping veg. Either that or she has minions.

Her farts must be very impressive

LividLaVidaLoca · 20/06/2022 17:10

Must be lovely to be dripping in time and money.

A liquid breakfast. That's a bloody Mary, right?

Or a pint at Birmingham Airport before your 8am easy jet flight

I clicked through to her website out of curiosity. For 450 pounds you can have a two hour appointment where she will make you a "bio-unique protocol".

ErniesGhostlyGoldTops · 20/06/2022 17:18

Fuck. I want a peperami now

@FatCatSkinnyRat what??!!! My bio-unique protocol was only fifty quid

In other words, she prints you out a diet sheet from the internet.
Pretentious waffle.

Articles like this always remind me of this. Much more relatable

Everyone should eat chips every day.

Also this article is really distasteful, there's a cost of living crisis. People choosing food or heat, or feeding their kids or themselves...
and there's this oh I enjoyed brunch at a restaurant 3/4 times a week. Hmm

I agree

Laiste · 20/06/2022 17:25

I don’t need lunch, so instead I opt for a mid-afternoon snack – some nuts, alongside a chopped apple dipped in almond butter. I also have a freshly made chai latte, which I make with coconut milk, pure Madagascan vanilla powder, chai spices and turmeric.

I mean .... this was me just yesterday. But i'm kicking myself because my Madagascan vanilla powder wasn't pure. What's wrong with me???

A load of twaddle but I really want to roast some cauliflower now.

Greyhare · 20/06/2022 17:27

I have IBS and if I ate any of those meals I wouldn't be able to leave the loo to make or eat the rest of the day

WashMeThroughly · 20/06/2022 17:27

She needs to stop dangling her hair in whatever meal it is that she's preparing. Imagine finding one of those hairs wrapped round your mung bean.

<boak>

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 20/06/2022 17:28

Is the bio-unique protocol somehow related to the 'core'? The strength of one's cire seems to be another pile of shite that these wellness goons wang on about. I'm not a fucking apple...
