The "I Love Sugar!" Detox

"I just had two massive slices of cake and my second cup of Irish Breakfast Tea for today and I’m totally buzzing and it’s not even midday AAARGH I LOVE SUGAR!!!" - This was written two weeks ago, just as I came off my detox. That weekend was excessive, to say the least. Just as I suspected, I felt crap the following week.

Detox – A Load Of Old Rubbish?

DETOX: a word to inspire fear in men of indulgence…a term which sees life-loving women tear their hair out at the prospect of wanton self-denial. Tomorrow is Day 10 of my detox. Over the past week and a half I’ve met with a surprisingly rabid air of hostility from otherwise mild-mannered friends and acquaintances, alongside a great deal of curiosity. So what’s it like? In a word, shitty.

Rebecca's Detox Part II - Halfway Through!

Tomorrow is Day 10 of my detox, which I just wrote about here. Inspired by another member of the Loving Earth team, I’m attempting to remove caffeine, sugar, alcohol, dairy, red meat and wheat from my diet for four weeks, just to give my system a rest and see how I feel. So I called into the ringing phones and busy chatter of Customer Service to see how Rebecca’s detox was going…

Scott’s Meditation

This May, the LE staff accepted a formidable mission – to meditate for 10 minutes everyday! It wasn’t long before we realised this was much more challenging than we first anticipated. Lucky for us LE head honcho Scott is vastly experienced in such matters and was only too happy to share some of his knowledge and experiences with us. If you’ve ever considered meditating or have been finding it to be challenging like we have, these helpful tips can point you in the right direction. Here are some excerpts from his talk...

We Heart Kale!

Kale comes from a family of over-achievers. With cousins like broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens and brussels sprouts, it has a lot to live up to in terms of nutrient goodness… but fortunately kale is no black sheep!

Chocolate Meditation

Loving Earth’s founder and managing director Scott just got back from a trip to India, during which he was initiated into a curious new form of meditation. You guessed it…chocolate meditation! But how does it work? 

Maca - The Superfood of the Andes

Last week we started taking at look at Maca through the lens of Nadine’s wonderful experience, as she told us how the incredible Peruvian root helped her overcome fertility issues that seemed to be insurmountable. This week we’ll be discussing the finer details of our Maca, how it’s grown and why so many people are discovering the health benefits to be gained from its use.  

Eat Yer Greens!

Who amongst us hasn’t heard the cry at one point or another? EAT YOUR GREENS! From the dinner table to the lounge room, if it wasn’t your mum it was Popeye! They all said the same thing, and they weren’t wrong…greens are essential to good health.
