On Weds June 4th from 1-2pm we'll be welcoming Kate Cook, co-author of An Unfit Mother. The book offers "inspiration, motivation and guidance on how to rebuild your body confidence and explains how it's possible to reclaim your body post birth, and lose your baby-bulge swiftly, safely and successfully."

Kate is a mother and a nutritional therapist and life coach, who has helped over 4,500 patients to take their health into their own hands so she's full of great advice.

If you can't make it on Weds, you can post advance questions here and we'll try and get them answered. We hope though that as many of you as possible will grab a (low fat) sarnie and come and join in the chat on Weds lunchtime. See you then.

Custard Creams are certainly more handy..
but obviously not a great blood sugar balancing snack! (being white and sweet!)
I know some of the more nutritionally worthy snacks dont cut the mustard taste wise but once you feel better and more energised by eating stuff that helps energy you the custard creams wont even be on the radar!

yoghurt is protein

KateCook · 04/06/2008 13:58

boco - if the government says 5 probably not enough! Eat as much fruit and veg as possible but dont worry about counting portions....too time consuming!!

rachel(mumsnet) · 04/06/2008 14:04

Well that's the hour up. Many thanks to Kate for dropping by and answering our questions - must admit to feeling saddened that custard creams are not deemed a good source of protein though.
Thanks again Kate...

KateCook · 04/06/2008 14:06

Thanks for having me - I enjoyed it
Go Well, Good health and Good luck

Diva what DVD do you have?

There is definitely a market for, say, LazyTown exercise DVDs that you could convince a pre-schooler to watch with you...

Boco · 04/06/2008 15:13

Mp that is the most terrible suggestion I have ever heard. Please God don't ever let anyone make a Lazy Town exercise DVD!

I think that would be my idea of what hell is like.

TigerFeet · 04/06/2008 15:19

There could be some mileage in the Lazytown DVD idea though. THere is a school of thought that Sportacus is rather lovely and watching him jump around a lot would not be a chore.

Me, I'm more of a Robbie Rotten fan

morningpaper · 04/06/2008 15:29

Golly yes definitely

I would be up for a bit of jogging with Magnus Scheving

Just 10 minutes a day would surely tone something or other

Surely that's not wrong

PMSL at "there are some very educated people on here"

oh get over yourself

JeremyVile · 04/06/2008 17:45

Oh my good lord!
Misschief - waht the frig was all that about?

Boco · 04/06/2008 17:58

That did make me hide behind my fingers.

morningpaper · 04/06/2008 18:14

lol boco

Divastrop · 04/06/2008 21:02

mp-these type

they must be doing something as dh is complaining i'm not squishy enough to use as a pillow any more

lazytown ugh ugh yuck nasty its BANNED in this house.in the shite garden would be better-macca pacca weighlifting,iggle piggle bouncing around,and im sure the pontipines must get plenty of excersise

BEAUTlFUL · 05/06/2008 05:41

MissChief - shame on you. Manners Maketh Mumsnet.

Kate Cook completely ignored my questions! That's her book coming out of my Amazon basket.

Guadalupe · 05/06/2008 09:10

I hid behind Boco's fingers as well

can we come out now?

Saturn74 · 05/06/2008 10:14

Is this thread going to be unstuck sometime soon?
Or is Kate involved with some pay-per-click deal with MNHQ?

MissChief · 05/06/2008 11:57

huh? didn't think I was being rude, sorry. Hate so-called experts giving advice (rather patronisingly at times, IMHO) in the same breath as making such basic grammatical mistakes.

To be honest, I'm surprised that she was given air-time, who needs advertising when you can come on here?! A mate of someone at MN towers maybe, I'll go now, I'm just jealous

MissChief · 05/06/2008 12:03

Basically, I had PMT and she got up my nose, quite whiy I caused anyone to hide behind their hands , I don't know. Oh well, glad she made so many people happy, feel it's money for old rope and a rather outrageous use of MN. But that's my opinion.

Boco · 05/06/2008 12:16

It just seemed rather unnecessarily hostile to be lecturing her on her grammar.

belgo · 05/06/2008 12:18

That will be her everlasting impression of mumsnet. Being told off for inappropiate apostrophe use.

MissChief · 05/06/2008 12:21

well, there you go, fairly apt, IMHO!

Didn';t mean to be hostile, don't think I was. She does call herslef a "writer" ffs!

moopdaloop · 05/06/2008 12:22

as she's gone can I ask wtf does "go well" mean?

is it hip?

MissChief · 05/06/2008 12:25

well, she said it to me so i took it to mean "go f* yourself"! Or at least, get the hell off my book-pushing thread. I could be wrong

BEAUTlFUL · 05/06/2008 12:41

Hopefully she won't come back, MissChief, as you're giving her plenty of pot/kettle ammunition in this sentence:

"Didn';t mean to be hostile, don't think I was. She does call herslef a "writer" ffs!"
