that’s our mantra this month. Just look at the healthiest people you know. Most likely they don’t go ON a diet they HAVE a diet. When they give up something, they’ll often celebrate it, right down to the very last mouthful. And when they dive into an eating plan, it’s because it’s full of things they’ll relish and look forward to. This is exactly how our Nutrition Editor Chrissy Freer thinks, and it’s what she brings to our annual 7-day Health Blitz for Food Lovers (page 107). No wonder it’s one of our most popular features. Frankly, this IS rocket science. Chrissy has ingeniously designed your best week of healthy eating, with every nutrient, food group and serve of veg in perfect measure, all for 1,200 lip-smacking, weight-reducing calories. Speaking…

When we think of pasta, we think of Italy, but Argentina has also developed its own pasta culture that has sprung from the Genovese roots of so many of its earliest settlers. In Buenos Aires they make ‘sorrentina’, which are like ravioli with tomato and stringy mozzarella sauce. They also make their own ‘ñoquis’. This take on gnocchi has become such a cultural icon that the 29th day of each month is designated the ‘Dia de Ñoquis’, when it is traditional to eat cheap, filling ñoqui. In Buenos Aires, they’ll tell you that this tradition arose from the monthly pay packet running thin by the end of the month, to the extent that they even dub bludging public servants who only turn up for their 1st of the month pay…

What key facts have we learned about healthy eating in the last year? To shop healthy in 2016, watch what you eat before you shop! the study We all know it’s unwise to shop on an empty stomach, but a research team from Cornell University took this one step further to see if what a person eats before they shop influences what they purchase. They randomly offered 120 shoppers either an apple, a biscuit or nothing at all at the start of their shop. The people given the apple bought 28 per cent more fruits and vegetables compared to those given the biscuit or 25 per cent more than those given nothing at all. takeout This was a small study with impressive results. It is a good example of ‘nudge…
