Lose It! Magazine - Volume 38

In this issue

Don’t carbo load this winter! We know: it’s cold outside and it seems like a great idea to curl up with a good read and a slab of melt-in-your-mouth delicious chocolate in front of the fire. And you know what? YOU CAN! As long as the chocolate comes from food impresario David Donde’s brand new venture, Minimalist Chocolate (read all about it on page 14) and the ‘good read’ is the new issue of LOSE IT, of course. The recipes in this issue will give you all the winter comfort food feels with none of the nagging worry that you aren’t doing the right thing for your body. From crunchy breakfast bakes, fluffy pancakes and fritters to earthy mushrooms and a Mediterranean feast of rich, exotic flavours like Sumac lamb, Harissa chicken and gorgeous orange and cardamom cake, you’re free to indulge yourself – and stay right on track while you do so. How much do we love the low carb lifestyle? A lot! We also look at how you can build (and maintain) your willpower. It’s easy when you know how, and once you’ve nailed it it’s a tool you can use in every area of your life, from your health to your career. Speaking of careers, one of the amazing success stories in this issue is Odette Dannhauser, who lost 26kg and found a whole new career as a Keto coach: her go-to recipe for pork belly literally melts in your mouth (apart from the super-crispy crackling, of course). We also catch up with Professor Tim Noakes and snag an extract of his latest book, co-written with Marika Sboros. With LOSE IT by your side, you can power your way through winter and stay right on track. We’ve got this!
Love, the LOSE IT team
