I think I love John Oliver :)

Apologies I have been a bit quiet on the blog, have had some big deadlines for work looming and have been focusing on my research. But after seeing this video on Facebook tonight, I needed to share it. 

I think I love John Oliver 
Watch this video and find out why!


Make no mistake. The most effective way to lose weight is by sustainable lifestyle change. Eating healthy, balanced nutritious meals in the appropriate amounts for your body and exercising more to get fitter and healthier. Slow, steady and effective. There is no magic and there are no quick fixes. 

Read my blog post about these issues here : Weight loss cures and snake oil salesmen 

And sit back and watch the best take down of Dr. Oz. EVER.

Weekend Flicks - Making Homemade Nutella (Dr Yoni Freedhoff)



Do you eat Nutella? Dr Yoni Freedhoff is a fellow physician and health blogger from Canada who I have spoken of before. This video is how I first discovered him - deconstructing nutella. Think hazelnut spread sounds healthy? Think again!

You can follow Yoni on twitter as @YoniFreedhoff or follow his insightful blog at weightymatters.ca 
I am currently reading his book "The Diet Fix" and will post a review soon!  In the meantime, hope you enjoy this clip.

Weekend Flicks - Teach every child about food (Jamie Oliver)



If you haven't seen this TED talk yet, you really need to. Grab a cup of tea and give the wonderful Jamie Oliver 20 minutes of your time. It will be worth it.

Weekend Flicks - How cooking can change your life (Michael Pollan)


I am a huge fan of Michael Pollan. If you haven't heard of him yet, he is a food journalist who has written several incisive and incredibly well researched books on the dilemma of obesity and the food industry. One of these books is "Food Rules" - a seemingly very simple book which describes some of the quite intuitive principles we have moved away from. Short but sweet. In two and a half minutes listen to how cooking can change your life.
