This influencer left the fashion industry. Now, she's battling toxic diet culture online
English believes food is "amazing" and it is also possible to eat good food while getting plenty of nutrients.
English, also known as "@emthenutritionist" on Instagram, shares recipes with her 1.8+ million followers. She said she started doing so during the COVID lockdowns.
"I started by actually - it was during lockdown at the time when COVID was rife, and I used to open my kitchen cupboard and I used to balance my phone on the shelf of the kitchen cupboard so it would look top down onto my chopping board and I would film me making what I would eat that day."
English was inspired to study nutrition when she witnessed toxic diet culture and also when her own relationship with food suffered.
"I kind of realized I had this massive gap in my knowledge of the human body and something that I do every single day — and that's eat. So, I felt like there was this real big detachment from normal nutrition and what we were learning about nutrition."
While creating recipes for people to enjoy, English wants her recipes to be loved but also for people to feel satisfied after eating them.
"I also want people to feel full and satisfied and content because... Feeling full and satiety and feeling kind of okay, I'm done, is such an important part of a healthy balanced diet and so many people think, 'oh nutrition I'm just not I'm going to be starving all the time,' if that makes sense, but I won't yeah, I want people to feel comfortable, content and full."
English is also a number one bestselling author of cookbooks. She wrote "SO GOOD" in 2024, and her upcoming book "Live To Eat" is now available for preorder and will be on sale July 1st.
"They're just full of food that you want to eat that's also good for you. So, it nourishes your body, it nourish your mind," English said about her new book.
English concluded that it doesn't take drastic changes to live a healthier lifestyle.
"You don't have to change every single thing that you already do in order to be healthier. So, diets don't work because they overhaul everything, and you suddenly lose every single bit of identity that you have with how you normally eat. So, what I always say is take what you do and think about the easy things that you know that you can change, but actually make that change every day because it's the tiny differences that we can actually stick to that are going to make the difference long term."
Watch English appear on "Fox & Friends" on Monday 5/19 at 6:50 AM ET.

Charli xcx's Airport Fit Is a Lesson in London Cool Girl Style
Following her chic London town hall wedding in a classic Vivienne Westwood dress, Charli xcx quickly returned to her usual sleek yet subversive aesthetic. She was recently spotted heading to the airport in a strappy top, some microshorts, her trusty knee-high boots, and a go-to quilted YSL bag. (As a noted longtime fan of Anthony Vaccarello). A look more reminiscent of her Glastonbury headline performance. Photographed once again arriving at London's Heathrow Airport, the Brat superstar ticked off all the elements of a London cool girl outfit formula. She wore a clingy, black, off-the-shoulder top, with black capri pants, and a chunky silver buckle belt. On her feet, a pair of Maison Margiela tabi ballet flats—a shoe you'll see stomping all over east London's markets, in and out of the small plates and wine bars—and a black Balenciaga shoulder bag slung over her shoulder with a lilac scarf attached to the handle. Photo: Backgrid As always, she donned her Saint Laurent sunglasses. In tow, a duo of suitcases from celebrity favorite luggage brand, Rimowa.

The woman said her partner "just seems to have no interest in doing anything" with her or their 6-year-old child A woman is contemplating her relationship with her longtime boyfriend — because she finds him "boring." "I'll start off by saying, by no means am I adventurous, but we've got 1 life, and it should be at least enjoyed a little," the woman wrote in a post on the U.K.-based forum Mumsnet. Explaining that her partner "just seems to have no interest in doing anything," the woman further detailed, "He doesn't drink, [which is] fair enough, so ... pubs/clubs [are] out of the equation, he's overweight so hardly ever wants to eat out, as he's on a diet constantly." "He doesn't enjoy the socializing that comes with us having a 6-year-old, so he doesn't come to the park/library/play dates even when I ask," the woman continued of her boyfriend, adding: "He likes football, but doesn't enjoy watching it in person or at the pub, [and] he won't go to a concert/music event."

According to the woman, she and her boyfriend "actually do nothing together, and I don't know if I am being unreasonable for being fed up or if he should make more effort." "We have nothing in common, but I'm willing to compromise," she continued. "I'd go to a football match or I'd love him to come to a music event. He doesn't have to love it, it would just be spending that time together." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! The woman also said, "There are always reasons why he doesn't want to do something, yet if I do ever do something without ... asking, he sulks as to why he wasn't invited." "I don't miss out, because I end up doing these things with friends, but honestly, we've been together 7 years, and if I have to endure this forever, what is the point?" added the frustrated woman. As she questioned if she was in the wrong to "be fed up" with "how boring my partner is," the woman was met with support from fellow Mumsnet users. "I think you need to put it on the table as a dealbreaker, and that you see his complete lack of interest in doing anything as either a couple or a family as meaning the relationship is reaching the end of the line for you," one commenter wrote. "He's chosen to have a partner and a baby, and that means he needs to nurture both of those relationships, even if he doesn't love every hour of it.

Others, meanwhile, questioned the woman about why she would have a child with the man in the first place. In a follow-up comment, she revealed, "I fell pregnant unexpectedly after the first time I slept with him. Yes, cliché, I know." The woman further clarified in another comment: "I did know him beforehand as a friend, he used to go to pubs, as that's where we met. I think he's just outgrown that scene, which is fine, but he doesn't enjoy doing anything else." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Ashley Judd Shows Off Curves in Bathing Suit to Talk About Menopause: ‘We Don't Care Club'
Ashley Judd is no longer caring what others think and embracing her inner child as she experiences postmenopause. Judd, 57, took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 22, to share a video of herself splashing around in the Baltic Sea while showing off her curves in a green one-piece swimsuit. 'Hi, I'm Ashley and I'm a member of the We Don't Care Club,' she said. 'Sometimes when I wear a swimsuit, I get a little chafing, like right down there, so I put on cornstarch. Good trick if you don't know it already.' After showing off a non-stinging type of jellyfish in her hands, Judd placed the sea creature back into the water and said she was 'picking my crotch and I don't care.' She told fans about her 'MSU Club,' or 'Make Stuff Up Club,' and said that as a 'postmenopausal woman, I don't care if you don't like the MSU Club.' Celebrities That Are Leading the Body-Positive Movement: Mindy Kaling, Demi Lovato, Jameela Jamil and More Next, Judd flung herself backward into the water to soak her hair and showed off the cellulite on her legs, again telling fans, 'I don't care.' She also did a handstand, a belly flop and a backflip. In the caption, Judd wrote, ''Cause menopause (peri - post) is human biology. It is universal to females & global. What can be a hope of We Don't Care Club? What will I, with my freedom & mirth, when I let go of caring about stupid, controlling norms about my female body, be free to enJOY?' Menopause is the natural phase when periods stop for good, according to Mayo Clinic. Symptoms include hot flashes, sleep changes and mood swings. It can happen in someone's 40s and 50s, but the average age is 51 in the U.S., the clinic reports. There is also perimenopause, which is the stage leading up to menopause, and postmenopause, which is typically 12 months after periods end. Judd encouraged her followers to 'play, be silly, have fun and feel boundless joy.' 'I bask in the unselfconscious being-ness of my True Self. My Inner Child is free to emerge. She feels confidence & glee,' she continued. 'If you let yourself be free, how would your True Self & Inner Child spend your Carefree Timelessness?' Judd asked how readers can 'let go of what others expect, think, need [and] want. What do 🤍YOU🤍 feel, need, want, from yourself? Judd tagged Melani Sanders, the creator of the 'We Do Not Care' movement, and promoted her own 'Make Stuff Up Club.' Katherine Heigl on Her Perimenopausal Journey, C-Section Scars and Aging in Hollywood 'Inner Children🌸 have such beautiful, creative imaginations. They want to be seen, heard, be safe, & play. If as an adult, I am caught up in what others think of me, I ignore, neglect, & abandon my own tender Self. Today, that's off the table,' Judd concluded. 'Into the Sea for me, to splash & play!' Judd revealed she was 'post-menopausal since 2018' via a June 4 Instagram post. 'And super comfortable with that. Peri, menopause, and post-menopause is human biology and medically accurate,' she wrote. 'Sex education is essential. I am rejoicing in @justbeingmelani un muzzling of peri/post/menopausal expression and her inviting in all kinds of women to liberate their 'I don't cares!' We are enough, we do enough, it is enough. It is okay, we are okay. It is human biology. Fact and true. To all my menopausal ladies out there, what are your don't cares?!' Solve the daily Crossword
