Foreword by Glynis Barber

Something strange happened to me in my twenties. I went from being a
regular person who ate whatever she wanted without a second thought, a
person who although naturally active, never had any particular interest in
health or lifestyle, to a person completely passionate about the subject.
Remaining healthy, free from illness, fit, youthful and being the best I can
be at whatever age I am, has become integral to my life. It has led me to
stray from my regular path of acting to making an anti-aging Yoga DVD
and to start a website dedicated to lifestyle and healthy ageing. I was
inspired to do this by my genuine interest in the subject and as a response to
the many times I get asked about how “I manage to stay so youthful”.

So what exactly happened to me in my twenties? It was a surprisingly little
thing but demonstrates the power of a good teacher and how inspiration can
have far reaching consequences.

I simply went to an aerobics class and the American instructor told us we
had to jog as well as do her class and gave us books to read. “Get moving
people” she would yell at us, “don’t think just coming to this class is
enough”! I had never read a book on nutrition or health and it had never
occurred to me to do so. I don’t even know why I listened to her, but I did
and found a passion that has remained with me.

As the years have gone by and I have crept up in age, my interest in the
subject knows no bounds. Suddenly all those diseases that seemed only for
“old” people are beginning to happen to my peers. I am at “that age” where
scary things can happen. No thank you very much. Not if I have anything to
do about it. And that is where this book comes in.

Last summer, just as I was preparing to launch my website, I went to see
nutritionist Fleur Borrelli. Little did I know that she would make changes to
the way I eat and the way I exercise that would have a very profound effect
on my life. I would lose inches, as well as just under a stone in weight, drop
a dress size, gain lean muscle, have vastly improved energy levels, feel
motivated and positive while eating a good amount of food.

The irony is that I went into all this very reluctantly. I didn’t even go and
see Fleur for this reason as I considered myself to be a very healthy eater,
well educated in all aspects of nutrition. I went on the recommendation of
an osteopath as I had quite a lot of unexplained joint pain. He suggested I
go to find out if there was anything else going on other than simple
mechanical injury. I wasn’t keen. Don’t nutritionists always start by telling
you not to eat wheat? No matter what condition you have gone to see them
for? The osteopath assured me that Fleur was very scientific and worked in
an interesting way. So with a modicum of enthusiasm and a healthy dose of
scepticism I went along. And surprise, surprise she began to make changes
to my diet immediately. Except that she was cunning.

She saw my reluctance and broke me in slowly. And the process began.
Slowly but surely I began to see big changes and found myself becoming a
huge convert. Some of the ideas took a little getting used to because they
were the opposite of what we’ve always been led to believe. However,
when I committed to it fully, the results were fantastic.

This is the journey this book will offer you. We are talking about results to
last a lifetime. We are talking about changes to how you will eat, drink and
exercise forever. We are talking about the end of yo-yo dieting. But most
importantly this book will empower you to take your health into your own
hands...
Chapter One

Why we are all out-of-sync

At some point in your lives, most of you will have been on a diet. Some of
you may well have spent a fortune on the many diet books, diet pills, diet
services, meal replacements and other ‘miracle cures’ that there are on the
market. But they haven’t worked - why not? The reason is that you are still
out-of-sync.

So let’s look at the weight problem a little more closely. Since the 50’s we
have been getting bigger and bigger. Our bust size has increased by one and
half inches, as have our hips. But worse still, our waists have increased by a
whopping six and a half inches! And not only that, our mental and physical
health is not that great either - anti-depressants are among the most
commonly prescribed medications in modern medicine. And antacids are
among the most commonly purchased over-the-counter products.

All your mental and physical health problems have a connection to a lack of
energy and by this we mean chemical energy - otherwise known as
adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). Feeling constantly tired all the time
represents one of the most common reasons why you visit your doctor. This
is because up until 200 years ago your predecessors had a life that was
much simpler than it is today. Certainly they were not bombarded with the
constant demands for our attention that you are now. To cope with this
relentlessness, you have to use a 100% of our brain power rather than the
10% that people believe. This is an exhausting process.

You are surrounded by constant stress, food choices that your predecessors
would never have dreamed of and very little opportunity to move around in
the way our body needs. It is no wonder that you are all having to watch our
waistlines - food is available at every turn and we don’t need to expend any
energy to get it.

Did you know that your behaviour is regulated by daily rhythms known as
circadian, or biorhythms? Circadian comes from the Latin ‘circa’ meaning
