When she came in 7th.......good work Transform, blowing our chances

well Donald Trump is the owner of that competition so cant help it if he doesnt appreciate a stunning looking irish woman

overall i think the work she produces is far better than most but still lacks some basic info that a 30mins chat with someone like me would set straight.

Im giving a talk at wellfest and think shes going also so maybe there is an opportunity there.

damn great find, posting this up now and this line was spot on -

!And a lot of what these bloggers advocate – less sugar, more vegetables – is perfectly sensible. But it is often served up with a hefty side dish of misinformation and encouragement of food phobias. After all, being obsessive about healthy eating isn’t actually all that healthy".

Why is she gettingso much media time?Is her advice good or just copy and paste job

All cook books and diets are "copy and paste" jobs with a "twist" and nod to the latest fad/insecurity.

Don't think she's the worse out there by far.

For example, them two lads, The Happy Pear? always strike me as a pair of spoofers.

yip and i had a good 'chat' with a client in the other day exactly on this i.e. was just over 100lbs in weight (5ft 1) and wanted frequent body fat tests, wants the ins and outs of every diet myth and tid bit of info out there.

The stressing about food and overly focusing of training on the aesthetics is a major problem for some people.

i continually came back to better performance in the gym e.g. lets get you to be able to perform a push up from the floor, a chin up etc as opposed to adding fuel to an already poor self image.

Collection of knowledge does not mean wisdom

they ALL have very similar issues - basics on nutrition is the main one.

The happy pear guys are super nice guys but their take on heart disease and the role fat plays (doesnt play) in it is just laughable in the extreme.

for example here

yes you read that right -

- diet less than 10% fat
- no nuts
- no eggs of any kind
- no avocado (thats the vegan stable out the window so)
- no dairy products

hey its only €99 for 8 weeks on their online happy heart course

they basically swallowed the china study and took it as gospel (this was debunked wayyyy back in 2010 by denise minger here )

lovely lads but havent an absolute rashers about nutrition.

That's a great article, and a real eye opener. I think some of those food bloggers are a bit obsessed about healthy eating and food in general which to be honest is not healthy at all.
They all seem to have food allergies or some digestive issue and choose to give up wheat/ dairy/ etc. I had to laugh at Deliciously Ella's ignorance

Woodward was asked by a commenter why she doesn’t use millet in her recipes: “I don’t use millet as it contains gluten and all my recipes are gluten-free. Hope you love the recipes! X,” she explained in her characteristically chatty style.

Her loyal followers pointed out that millet does not, in fact, contain gluten. Woodward, undaunted, simply moved the goalposts: “I prefer to stay away from millet as I personally find it difficult to digest. Have a nice day! X,” she replied

:eek:

I think Susan Jane White is the Irish equivalent of Ella Woodward, their blog and recipes seem similar.

Like that other model rosanna davidson should they be giving advice on diet nutriiton when not experts

Absolutely no comparison between the two one is an accomplished Model/entrepreneur/Triathlete and from what I've seen a decent skin that didn't come from money and earned her stripes.

The other well she's fame hungry and has the financial backing to fail at whatever whim passes her mind next. Also I've yet to see her split times for DCM.:D

I don't think either claim to be nutritionists more of a social media I eat this to help me look like this kind of thing. The recipes are handy to pick and choose between and gives people an alternative.

SJ white is certainly cut from the same cloth as again no mention of the calories or even a warning that certain recipes you might need to pull back on the portions

The term wellness makes me physically ill. It conjures up images of Herbalife, The Sunday Independent and Celtic Tigeresque nonsense.

sunday indo is a total rag.

one thing most of the people mentioned all have in common (this includes 'wellness coaches' 'nutrition coaches' etc) is that they dont work directly with clients full time because if they did they would very quickly discover that no one was getting lasting results.

ive said this before so going to say it again - being in shape, having abs, being lucky to be born pretty (eat yourself beautiful LMFAO!!!) is NOT evidence that you know anything about a certain topic. You need to put your principles down on paper and show a track record of results.

This goes as much for the 20 something guys that run around shouting 'gains' 'shredz' and 'bro', and thats before they use their pre workout drink.

as long as its gluten free and vegan then you can eat as much as you like of it, science!

ANY book that doesnt even hint at the fact that calories matter needs to be checked

Does being semi famous exclude you from having a sound knowledge of fitness and nutrition?

She was on the Late Late Show a few months ago promoting her book. She had a table set up and was demonstrating recipes. The conversation was like this

Roz: I'm a total foodie Ryan.
Tubridy: So Roz, your Brownies are 90% Cocoa, what's the other 10% ?
Roz: Emm... I don't know Ryan.

Fraud. My mother could have written a book saying eat your Veg and stop eating that crap you always have in your mouth.
