It is with extreme sadness that I have to announce that I will be retiring from teaching Pilates as I embark on treatment for the stage 4 cancer that has just been discovered in my lungs, liver and bones.

Why follow a low-carb diet? My reasons are probably quite unusual but I explain all in my latest blog post...
Why low-carb? (or why fat is no longer the enemy) – Just Jen
Why low-carb? (or why fat is no longer the enemy) If you had told me three years ago that I would now be on a low-carb diet, I would have thought you were crazy. I didn’t even know what one was. I would have said the same thing that most people say to me now – “is that like the Atkins diet?”...
