Hey,

My name is Kat and I am a 23 year old food fanatic from Surrey.

I have studied Marketing at the University of Portsmouth and have gone on to work within the industry, keeping food & fitness as a hobby!

Whilst I have always been interested in food from a young age, my passion for fitness and knowledge of nutrition came at a much later date. As a student, I developed bad eating habits and an unhealthy relationship with food. I was living on take away pizzas, sugary snacks and freezer food. I would bounce to extremes of trying to be ‘healthy’ in which I followed excessive diets set to fail, with no real knowledge of what to cut out and what to eat more of. In this time I put on a great deal of weight, lacked body confidence, picked up some health problems and became stuck in a rut with little energy.

During my final year I decided to join the gym and took it upon myself to learn more about the nutritional value in foods to keep me motivated in my final year and elevate stress whilst also gaining back my confidence for the coming summer! It was here that my attitude, fitness direction and body began to change.

Along my journey, my passion for the food industry and cooking has continued to grow, experimenting in the kitchen with healthy alternatives to the foods I love, finding ways never feel like I am restricting my body of what I want whilst giving it exactly what it needs!

I have created this blog to share recipe ideas and lifestyle choices along my journey and I hope you enjoy reading!
