I have two passions in this life – food and nature. There has always been an ongoing battle between these two passions with each drawing me to it. I wanted to be a chef and I wanted to be an ecologist. Well in the end, science won the game and I got my Doctorate in [...]

Shit! As all our allies seem to head to the left side of the political spectrum we have gone against the grain and have gone right. It was a very sad moment, especially when our now ex prime minister gave her conciliation speech. She did a good job as our prime minister for 9 years [...]

Before I start with my food issues I wanted to explain the above pictures. I went to the beach the other day and the pictures above are from that beach. It is called Piha, and is about 20mins from the major city centre in New Zealand. Getting back to nature was great and it gave [...]
Do calories make us fat?
Posted in Science, Uncategorized, tagged biology, calories, diet, exercise, fat acceptance, obese, obesity, overeating, weight loss on November 5, 2008 | 5 Comments »
If overeating was the cause of obesity then by reducing the number of calories you eat would result in weight loss. This of course is obvious to just about everyone – the media, public, politicians, scientists, clinicians etc. But what if it is wrong? It is well known, much to the medical communities frustration, that only [...]

Bigfatdelicious made an extremely interesting point in the last post and so I need to revise my thinking a bit. Please bare with me Im thinking out loud here. This is what I know.
1. Reducing calories makes me hungry and obessive.
2. Eating whatever I want makes me feel unhealthy and hungry
3. There is nothing wrong with [...]

While I was reading big fat deal they had a wonderful blog posted from the New York Times on the Slow Food movement. Here are some exciting and interesting excerpts that are both encouraging and exciting.

Cravings or Hunger?
Posted in intuitive eating, tagged diet, food cravings, food reward, hunger, intuitive eating on September 21, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Intuitive eating is such a difficult thing to do. The basic premise of course is eat when you are hungry. But this I find is the most difficult part. I think there is a part of me that is always hungry. I can always feel hungry even if I am physically full. But then is [...]

So I thought I would give everyone an update on my eating patterns. I have only been eating when hungry. Truly hungry. At first it was quite scary because every other time I have attempted to do this I get really anxious and want to eat because I feel Im starving myself. A return to [...]
What part of fat acceptance don’t you understand!!!
Posted in body acceptance, tagged body acceptance, body image, diet, fat, fat acceptance on September 16, 2008 | 3 Comments »
I have noticed that more and more lately I find myself under marketing attack by diet websites, nutrition websites and supplement websites. Ironically this is despite a blog I wrote called ‘why we should eat real foods and not supplements‘. But what really gets me is the promise of weight loss from these websites. I am [...]
What is my sick fascination with weight loss TV shows
Posted in body acceptance, tagged body acceptance, body image, diet, fat acceptance, weight loss on September 16, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So I think I am like one of these people that drives by car accidents and gets some sick pleasure by looking. Because every tuesday night there is this weight loss TV show called Down Size Me. Usual story – put them on a highly restrictive diet (they lose about 3kg a week) with extremely [...]
