Celeb Chefs get Birmingham ‘Heart Healthy’

Julia’s Blog-From Muffin Top to Skinny Latte
Prelude Like most women I’ve had my fair share of diets and gym memberships-nothing has ever really worked to the extent where I’ve been happy about it.

Healthy Eating
This is possibly the closest we will get to a public service announcement but it was felt that this information needed to be shared. Apparently too many people are self-diagnosing food allergies and could be restricting their diet unnecessarily, according to a new report that is. Research shows that up to 20 per cent of [...]
