We are all born with brown fat; as we grow older we produce white fat through the foods we eat. White fat is the unhealthy fat that can cause health problems such as heart disease or diabetes. Brown fat, however, is considered healthy as it burns calories and white fat. Recent research has shown that we can create brown fat. Here are my tips for doing so:

Have a normal hot shower, do a salt & oil scrub to activate the circulation or dry brush before showering. At the end of the shower, slowly turn the water to warm for 30 seconds. Then slowly turn to cold for another 30 seconds of longer. The more you do this the more you will get used to it and start to tolerate it better.  Repeat twice a day for a couple of weeks and enjoy the results.

I recently made the most delicious pizza I have EVER had! Here's the recipe so you can make your own over Easter.

1 small cup of chickpea flour

1 small cup of water

½ teaspoon of cumin

1 garlic clove

½ an onion

Small bunch of fresh parsley & coriander 

Soften the onion, garlic and cumin with a little coconut oil until it starts browning.

In a bowl mix the water with the chickpea flour. Add the cooked onions and the chopped fresh herbs.

Salt to taste.

In a non stick frying pan add a tiny bit of coconut oil and when hot pour some of the mixture to form a pancake. Cook both sides until a bit brown. Place is a baking tray and add whatever toppings you fancy. Place under the grill for a few minutes and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
