Beat portion distortion

Josie from Spring Coaching

Have you noticed a growing trend in serving size, maybe in your waistline as well? You're not alone. A cafe bought muffin today is gigantic compared to what it used to be. Not to mention up-sizing of combo meals, pizzas, even our dinner plates. All of this can contribute to us eating more than… View moreHave you noticed a growing trend in serving size, maybe in your waistline as well? You're not alone. A cafe bought muffin today is gigantic compared to what it used to be. Not to mention up-sizing of combo meals, pizzas, even our dinner plates. All of this can contribute to us eating more than we realise.

It can be hard to know what a standard serving size is, especially when what appears to be a single portion consists of multiple servings. Get a handle on serving sizes by downloading our free handy hand guide and beat portion distortion - spring-coaching.ck.page...

Hi everyone,
I'm working on a travel story for Stuff about the things that have surprised returning Kiwis about New Zealand. If you have recently returned from overseas or know someone who has, it would be great to hear about the things that have stood out for you, for better or for worse. Whether it's to do with the weather, the cost of things, the public transport, the food, the housing, the people or something else entirely, we'd be keen to hear about it. Please remember that your comment may be included in the article, unless you say you don't want it to be. Thank you.

"My neighbour Ann, a retired special ed teacher, goes the extra mile for her community. On her neighbourhood walks she notices blocked drains, or dangerous pavements on school routes and spends time phoning the Council to get them fixed. She is part of a local group that petitioned for new school crossings on Takanini School Road. She volunteers at the local school for free maths tuition. She sets a really great example of looking out for her community and makes the world a better place."

Art for our soul's sake...

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

We've been covering our walls in art for... oh, only about 44,000 years. More recently, art has become an expression of our personalities, and taste.
