I quickly saw how to make swaps that would help me stick to my calorie target, without leaving me feeling hungry. I saw that red meat – which I love; I’m Brazilian – was often quite a fatty choice (a 4oz steak is around 200 calories and 10g of fat), as are chicken thighs (around … Read more
“You know we’ve reached peak menopause when Oprah gets involved,” Bardwell says. Influencers have also been quick to get on the menopause bandwagon. The problem is that many aren’t qualified to talk about health, diet, HRT or supplements, Bardwell says. “The content they’re putting out has the potential to be confusing at best and damaging … Read more
But what about if I only use “healthy” salt, I hear you cry. Unfortunately, there is no such thing. It’s true to say there is a spectrum, from the less refined salts which deliver minerals and more complex flavour profiles, to cheap table salt packed with aluminium-based anti-caking agents. But, as Clarke says, it’s “misleading” … Read more
On the second week of pre-Christmas weight loss… try increasing your water intake Increasing water intake has been shown to aid weight loss by increasing satiety, reducing hunger, and helping the body remove waste efficiently. One study found that drinking an additional 1.5 litres of water a day led to just under half a pound … Read more
Nonetheless, when it does finally open, it will be a world-class landmark – the sort of foundations upon which you could definitely construct a long weekend in Cairo (and Giza). The question is whether Wizz Air and easyJet passengers will take up the offer. They should. Viewed as a lone destination, Cairo can be daunting; … Read more
This isn’t surprising. I’ve eaten some mediocre restaurant-prepared stuff – most recently, this week, shin of gristle with trace elements of beef accompanied by way too many root vegetables – and been very happy with, again recently, bought-in sea bass. (I asked; the restaurateur replied honestly.) It may be, then, that bought-in meals are good … Read more
A pinch of salt is pertinent, though, as these figures are skewed by the Post Office’s somewhat inconsistent itemisation. While it lists a single drink, ticket or pass in its breakdown, it prices both accommodation and dining for two people – and its minibreak prices are calculated by simply tallying up this list. As such, … Read more
Most importantly to travellers, Southwest usually flies from cheaper and smaller airports with less foot traffic, like Dallas Love Field versus Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. And the airline offers four different rates – Business Select, Anytime, Wanna Getaway+, and Wanna Getaway – all of which give customers two free checked bags, which is unheard of … Read more
The location is already host to numerous hot air balloon companies, taking tourists above its vast plains at sunrise and sunset for the ultimate holiday photographs. Thankfully, the branding is kept to a minimum, with only the passenger basket showing the Uber logo on the test flight. The rest is a billowing, yellow affair, in … Read more
Profits halved and when Lyondell Basell, a rival, filed for bankruptcy in the US, Ineos’s lenders turned on Ratcliffe. A breach of its borrowing terms provided a pretext to move in. “They became rapacious,” Ratcliffe lamented years later. After cutting capital expenditure, imposing a pay freeze, banning travel and axing jobs, Ineos still needed to … Read more
