• They are easy to make
• It only takes a few minutes to be ready to eat
• You don’t need to wash up greasy dishes

…. And fresh salads are:

•  immensely good for our health
• A great way to detox your body
• A great supply of the nutrients our body needs to fight diseases like cancer and many more
• The perfect food to help you lose weight
• Don’t need to be expensive!

Here is one great example of a healthy, low cost and slimming

“Left over Salad”

This one is made of:

• Some red cabbage, washed and cut
• Some white cabbage, washed and cut
• Some celery, washed and cut
• Some cucumber, washed and cut
• Some carrot, washed and cut
• A few cherry tomatoes, washed and cut

Add a bit of Tahini and very little sesame oil. Some ground pepper and maybe a bit of lemon juice.

Serve with brown rice or a wholemeal roll.

Enjoy!

I think some days we just need to throw away the “etiquette”, forget about what others might say or think – and simply have fun and enjoy life.

If you are upset or frustrated about something … instead of having a jar of biscuits, chips or three bars of chocolate … why not grab yourself a horse and go for a “Wild Ride”!

Weeeee! … I love it!

What do you think? – Is life too serious? – Would you like to go for a “Wild Ride”?

I’d love to hear some answers ….

Why not do yourself and your body a big favour and swap your usual burger to a delicious, healthy and low calorie “Gourmet Sandy Burger”?

How does it work?

A hamburger bun or Turkish roll is great. Skip the butter. Add lots of fresh mixed salad leaves, add sliced tomato, add sliced beetroot, plus add tasty cooked onion on top.

Have a big, fresh and healthy salad instead of the high calorie and fattening chips.

Add some sauce and pepper if you like.

Tip: If you make your burger at home use a wholemeal roll – it’s even better for your weight and your health.

Enjoy! … and invite your friends as well.

Who’s getting enough exercise? Who isn’t?

No excuse! I’m sure there is some exercise  you can do …

How important is exercise?

It’s serious, serious and absolut seriously important! I’d like to say it is seriously most serious important which means seriously it is …!

What does regular exercise do for us and for our body? It:

• Supports weight loss
• Helps prevent many diseases including heart disease, stroke, vascular disease, diabetes, cancer …
• Keeps you mobile and prevents injuries
• Keeps your bones strong and healthy
• Keeps your heart strong
• Lowers high blood pressure
• Lowers high blood sugar and prevents diabetes
• Releases hormones like endorphins which decrease your appetite
• Decreases tensions and anxiety
• Elevates your mood and releases “feel good hormones”
• Reduces chronic pain (Please check with your GP or physio if you have chronic pain.)
• Decreases aging. Stay younger for longer!

Seriously serious –are you doing your regular  exercise?

You don’t need to run a marathon  but do some exercise every day.

Are you ready?

Please take care of your body – it’s worth it!

Sandy

(Remember: If you are overweight or over 40, haven’t done much exercise for some time, have an injury or medical condition or if you are experiencing any pain, please always check with your GP before starting any new exercise.)

I have always been a shy person. I even used to hide when people were taking photos. I’m nothing special…

Here I’m now – giving interviews on TV.

What does this mean?

I learned that …

Everything is possible! If you believe in your goal and if you focus on what you really want – you will most likely find a way to do it.

For everyone who has missed my 2011 Interviews on Coffee Break TV, they are now published on YouTube.

Looking into the New Year I think many of us would like to shed some kilos over the next few weeks and in many of my author presentations I get asked what I would recommend for breakfast! I’d like to share a great breakfast idea that comes with a whole lot of nutrition, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals for your body and at the same time helps you lose weight on a daily basis.

Here is my breakfast favourite:

A wonderful fresh, tasty and low calorie salad roll!

Take:

1 long brown roll

Add a bit of Tahini or Avocado on the base and some ground pepper for taste

Add washed fresh mixed salad leaves

Add washed & sliced tomato

Add washed & sliced cucumber

Add washed carrot finely chopped

Add sliced beetroot

Add alfalfa or pre cooked asparagus

Enjoy!

Tip: Don’t think you should consume the “missing calories” during the rest of the day! Have a fresh fruit bowel for lunch and a big salad with some cooked rice for dinner.

I love it!

Sandy

Happy Christmas Everyone!

Enjoy the time and remeber that

 every day is important.
