“I was a very, very slow learner. I was good at nothing.”

“Home-made smoothies are a great way of satisfying a sweet tooth. Adding in things like frozen banana will make it taste super sweet and creamy.”

“I always moisturise in the morning, put my make-up on, and at the end of the day I take it off with coconut oil, wash my face, moisturise, and so often, that's it.”

“My problem with the word 'clean' is that it has become too complicated. It has become too loaded. When I first read the term, it meant natural, unprocessed. Now it doesn't mean that at all. It means diet. It means fad.”

“I'm promoting healthy - healthier - eating, not suggesting everyone should emulate me.”

“I'm a neat freak. I find I work best when I feel organised and together, and as I work from home, that means my house is always so tidy!”

“There are so many amazing plant-based foods out there that I don't feel the urge to eat tofu bacon.”

“Before I changed my diet, every time I ate, my torso would feel burning hot, and the areas around my lymph nodes would really ache.”

“I didn't believe in marriage; I thought it was a silly concept before I met Matt.”

“When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and sparkle all day.”

“Just because I like being healthy doesn't mean I can't have fun - I don't drink excessively, but I'll have a couple of vodka-and-sodas.”

“A delicious smoothie is a really easy way of taking on lots of amazing skin boosting ingredients and was my first port of call every morning in the run-up to my wedding - I'll throw in frozen berries, banana, spinach, almond butter, almond milk, and oats for a quick breakfast quite often.”

“The free-from aisle is the most depressing place in the supermarket.”

“Eating a natural diet with loads of fresh fruit and veg and little processed food helps me manage the symptoms of my illness.”

“I find both yoga and pilates awesome at calming my mind and strengthening my body.”

“I love exercise, but I didn't join a single sports club as a student - I have no hand-eye coordination. Things like yoga are amazing, but anything with a ball just isn't for me.”

“It's about making small changes at first and adding foods to your diet before you take any away; start with one extra vegetable or fruit at every meal, and hey, presto, that's 21 portions a week.”

“I think it's essential to engage with your followers. I always used to email bloggers, and no one ever replied, so I try to reply to every comment and question, and although sometimes I regret it when I'm sat on Instagram til 3 A.M., it's worth it.”

“I was a real sugar junkie. I don't think I realised I was actually fully addicted to it.”

“Believe me, there's nothing I hate more than feeling hungry.”
