Exercise and food respect in East Manchester, UK
Whilst the weight loss challenge had lost its edge, I found within it a new and equally rewarding challenge which should have a knock on effect. The correlation between eating less calories and spending less money on food is a very real one in my book. I had consciously let go of the weight loss... Continue Reading →
Guess what, there is no secret! It still comes back to the basics - burn more than you eat. There's no science here. Your lifestyle and your eating habits are largely to blame. I know that if I ate like either of these ladies I'd be as big as a house in no time, but... Continue Reading →

'Fat, Fat-loss & Fads with Dr Joshua Wolrich' is Dr Wolrich's journey and battle with eating, improving your attitude towards food and how your childhood experiences can shape your relationship with eating.

This year, one of my must have's is a garden space. The problem is that I live in a first floor flat with no determinable outdoor space. I added myself to the Manchester Allotments list last November (Tameside's being so long there was no point in joining it) but I don't expect to get anything... Continue Reading →
Towards the end of last year I joined Great Run Local - my local being Debdale Park in Gorton, Manchester. I've never been, largely because of winter in the North.
