Mum-of-three quits energy drinks to lose six stone and still has 'loads of energy'
Danielle Broadway, a mother of three, has shared her transformative journey of shedding six stone (90 pounds) after she stopped consuming energy drinks daily. The 30 year old embarked on her fitness journey with the primary aim of improving her overall health. "If I lost weight it would've been a huge bonus for me, but I just wanted to feel better in my gut," she explains. Danielle admits that she 'always felt bloated', 'would get sick from the most random foods', 'was always breaking out' and 'hated the way' she felt on a day-to-day basis. However, things took a turn when she stumbled upon the Simple app during an online search. It was through this app that Danielle discovered intermittent fasting - a method that proved to be a game-changer for both her weight loss and, as she claims, her gut health. The fasting process involves eating within a specified 'eating window', with the most popular being the 16:8 split of fasting to eating. However, Danielle confesses that the journey wasn't easy, stating: "So I will be honest, the first three days were the hardest, because I was pretty much putting my body into shock by cutting out a lot of things that I was eating that were not good for me," reports the Mirror. "But the Simple app gave me some recipe recommendations that I used and they worked so well with my gut. I ended up dropping 42lbs in five months. And I changed nothing [else] about my lifestyle, I ate better, I felt amazing, I had all this sustained energy. I was able to cut out all energy drinks - I had a huge hankering for energy drinks. "I knew I had to cut them out eventually because I did not want to drink those for the rest of my life. But I was able to get off the caffeine, I have all this energy, my skin has not been breaking out, I feel amazing. I feel better in my clothes, I've had no issues eating anything. I really believe I reset my gut health completely. So I'm super grateful for Simple." Simple is an innovative AI coaching app designed for adults seeking a healthier lifestyle and aims to revolutionise the approach to weight loss, moving away from traditional restrictive diets. The app's methodology has been crafted by experts in nutrition, behavioural change, digital health, and medicine, offering a science-backed alternative for those looking to shed pounds. Currently, customers can take advantage of a special offer using the code REACH60 to enjoy a 60% discount. Upon joining, users complete a comprehensive survey that delves into their health objectives, tastes, and previous weight loss endeavours. Subsequently, they gain access to a suite of tools within the app, such as food logging, intermittent fasting trackers, and a nutriscanner to help decipher meal nutrition. Additionally, Simple provides daily exercise routines and introduces Avo, the standout feature – a personal wellness assistant powered by AI that promptly responds to user queries. Danielle reveals that following a challenging beginning, she's now completely dedicated to the programme: "Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle change, it's not something that happened over night for me. It took many, many months in order for me to fully commit to the lifestyle and now it's just part of my daily life. "It had a huge snowball effect into every aspect of my life. I learned how to do more things for myself, get into new hobbies, I started taking really good care of myself, I got confidence, and I got my life back. You need to be kind to yourself and celebrate these small victories." She continued: "If I had any advice for staying motivated with your goals, it's to be kind to yourself. It isn't a steady ascension, it's a constant up and down and the key is not to be discouraged when it is down. Celebrate the smallest victories, you are doing amazing things out there." If the Simple app isn't quite right, there are numerous alternative fitness apps on the market. Lifesum, for example, is a platform that reportedly assists users in monitoring their nutritional and exercise patterns, logging meals, workouts and various metrics whilst aiming to encourage healthier decisions. Another alternative might be Myfitnesspal, which ranks amongst the most popular tracking applications. Featuring capabilities such as meal planning, calorie monitoring and exercise programmes - it represents another reliable option. Both applications are available at no cost but also provide premium subscriptions for users requiring extra support and features. The Simple App boasts an impressive 4.3 out of 5-star rating on Trustpilot, based on over 30,000 reviews. One user said: "I love this app because it's so easy and fun checking my progress and making sure I am doing it right." Another person said: "Honestly I wasn't really excited about doing any kind of exercise or healthy eating but this app has made it so simple and easy and it's actually kind of fun. If you know me, I don't do diets or exercise at all, so that says a lot for this app." Not every app or fitness regime will be for everyone and some others did share opposing views on Simple. One user said: "It's too busy, simplify the app." Another said: "I don't understand it 100%." "The customer service response time was amazingly fast," another user said. "They were very helpful, very quick. Thank your team for being great." For those interested in giving the Simple app try, there's currently a promotional offer of 60% off using the code REACH60. Please note, this is not medical advice but personal experience. Results may vary and consulting a healthcare professional for medical conditions is advised.

Fiona Phillips lays bare her 'awful' day-to-day challenges with Alzheimer's
Fiona Phillips, in an emotional, tell-all interview, details her frustrating journey with Alzheimer's with which the journalist and broadcaster was diagnosed aged 61 Fiona Phillips has described the challenges with Alzheimer's as "like trying to chase a £5 note that's fallen out of your purse on a gusty day" in a candid article. The journalist, who was diagnosed with the disease aged 61 in 2023, said every time "she thinks she had caught the £5 note, it whips away again" in an emotive passage about her journey. The mother of two told how she had "no awareness" that she kept repeating herself and she sometimes forgot what she was doing or where she was going soon after the diagnosis. And now, the 64-year-old broadcaster is living with Alzheimer's, with much of her care being done by husband Martin Frizell, who quit his role as editor of This Morning last year, stating he expected his "family priorities to [soon] change". Fiona, with Martin's support, has written a book called Remember When: My Life With Alzheimer's, which will be published later this month, and extracts from which have been adapted for the media today. In these passages, Fiona, who presented GMTV for 15 years, said: "Everywhere I look there are memories. I know they are there. And yet so many of them feel out of my reach now. "It's like I stretch out to touch them, but then just as I'm about to grasp it, the memory skips away from me. And I can't catch up with it. Like trying to chase a £5 note that's fallen out of your purse on a gusty day. Each time I think I've caught it, it whips away again. "I couldn't be writing this at all without my husband Martin and my closest friends, who are helping me articulate more clearly the thoughts I once had that are now harder for me to reach." Fiona, who is also a Mirror columnist, added: "Nowadays, I can find talking about my life agonisingly difficult. Sometimes I get halfway through a sentence and I can't remember where I was heading with it or the word I was looking for. It feels awful. "Gradually, Martin and I thought maybe I should start telling more people. Martin felt that if more people knew what was happening to me then they wouldn't judge me if I did ever start behaving unusually – not that I thought I did. It was hardly like I was going down the street half-clothed, yelling at people. "But he and the doctors, who I was constantly backwards and forwards to see, would say that I kept repeating myself and that sometimes I forgot what I was doing or where I was going. The strange thing was I had no awareness of that." The Mirror told, in 2023, how the star, born in Canterbury, Kent, was undergoing trials for a revolutionary new drug which scientists hope could slow or even reverse the illness for millions of sufferers in the years to come. Yet it is too little too late for Fiona, so much so Martin said in the extracts he wishes his wife of 28 years had been diagnosed with cancer instead. He added: "Being brutally honest, I wish Fiona had contracted cancer instead. It's a shocking thing to say, but at least then she might have had a chance of a cure, and certainly would have had a treatment pathway and an array of support and care packages. "But that's not there for Alzheimer's. Just like there are no funny or inspiring TikTok videos or fashion shoots with smiling, healthy, in-remission survivors. "After someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they are pretty much left to their own devices. There is nothing more that can be done and you are left to cope alone." The couple try to maintain a optimistic outlook but, just like The Mirror's recent case study Janet Allen and her daughter Emily, Martin and Fiona ultimately find it difficult to keep hopeful. Emily told us it was "the scariest thing" to learn her mum, from Reading, Berkshire, had got Alzheimer's, which has left her needing care from loved ones too.

Avocados taste 'much better' when marinated with one kitchen ingredient
Avocados have become one of the most popular foods to have in any meal - but now there's a new way to eat them, and it's down to how you preserve them in your kitchen Avocado's have become a trendy staple food for many - but now there's an even nicer way to enjoy them. The popular and versatile food offers many health benefits as it is packed with healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals, making them a good addition to a balanced diet. They also contain high amounts of folate, copper, potassium, Vitamin K and Vitamin E -while boasting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that have even been linked to reducing the risk of heart disease. So, whether you're pairing them with some poached eggs, mashing them onto a slice of toast or simply slicing them into a salad, many people tend to just eat them raw. However some people turn to pickling them for an elevated taste. Avocado pickles are not only delicious, but can be used in any dish where you'd typically eat them such as a salad or sandwich. According to Healthline, they're seriously easy to make, too. All you need to do is place 240ml of white vinegar, 240ml of water and one tablespoon of salt into a saucepan and bring to a boil. You then simply pour the mixture into a jar and add in three diced unripened avocados. Cover them with a lid and let them marinate for a few days in the mixture before eating. The pickling solution can be flavored with different ingredients for an added taste, such as garlic, fresh herbs, mustard seeds, peppercorns, or chilies. Avocados can go off pretty quick and no one wants to be left with a brown mushy mess. Any avocado fan will be all too familiar with the struggle of keeping them fresh. At room temperature, unripe avocados can take four to seven days to ripen, while ripe ones can last a few days. Luckily, there are ways to extend the life of your avocado and prevent food waste. A TikToker known as @Creative_explained has recently shared a video showcasing clever grocery hacks for saving money and reducing waste. Among the various ingenious methods to preserve different groceries, they demonstrated how to keep avocados fresh for up to three weeks. The technique is straightforward; all you need is a container and some water. "Fill an airtight container with water and add [the avocados] in," they explained. In his latest viral clip, the TikToker displayed his nifty avocado preservation trick by submerging them in water within an airtight box and then tucking them away in the refrigerator.
