What a difference a week makes! ... the weather has turned somewhat wetter, strong winds are bringing the leaves down and the official end of British Summertime!!! Don't forget the clocks go BACK this weekend 

. A shorter news letter this week due to being away in Cornwall in my role as a Celebrant to conduct a Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony for some dear friends. A joy and a privilege, how lucky am I. Please note also no LIVE online M&M  Fitness Pilates this Friday as I am out on the first of several Birthday Celebrations this weekend!! Lindsey Fitness members have access to all  the online replays of course.

I am so looking forward to Resetting this November with those already booked and have already started some food prep with that in mind. I am a great soup lover and making it couldn't be simpler. Roast any vegetables that you like, season and flavour with herbs and spices and then liquidise - simples! 

One of my members gave me some delicious home grown, sweet, tomatoes and a butternut squash last week so I roasted both along with some red onion in some coconut oil. Once roasted I liquidised it, portioned it out for the freezer and had some for a lunch to which I added baby broad beans and peas - warming, delicious and highly nutritious. As a suggestion with Halloween on Monday, here is  a delicious  pumpkin soup recipe for you to try. Read about all the wonderful nutritional benefits of pumpkins too - Happy Halloween!!!

Nutritional Benefits of Pumpkins

While commonly viewed as a vegetable, pumpkin is scientifically a fruit, as it contains seeds. That said, it’s nutritionally more similar to vegetables than fruits. Beyond its delicious taste, pumpkin is nutritious and linked to many health benefits.

Here are 9 impressive nutrition and health benefits of pumpkin....

1. Pumpkin is high in vitamins and minerals while being low in calories. It’s also a great source of beta-carotene, a carotenoid that your body converts into vitamin A.
2.  Pumpkin contains the antioxidants alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin and many others, which may protect your cells against damage by free radicals.
3.  Pumpkin is high in vitamins A and C, which can help boost your immune system. Its     supply of vitamin E, iron and folate may strengthen your immunity as well.
4. Pumpkins’ high vitamin A, lutein and zeaxanthin contents may protect your eyes against sight loss, which becomes more common with age
5. .Pumpkin is packed with nutrients and yet has under 50 calories per cup (245 grams). This makes it a nutrient-dense food. It’s also a good source of fibre.
6. Pumpkins contain carotenoids, which function as antioxidants. These compounds are linked to lower risks of stomach, throat, pancreas and breast cancers.
7. Pumpkin is a good source of potassium, vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants, which have been linked to heart health benefits.
8. Pumpkin is high in beta-carotene, which acts as a natural sunblock. It also contains vitamins C and E, as well as lutein and zeaxanthin, which can help keep your skin strong and healthy.
9. Pumpkin, once sliced and cut, can be easily roasted, puréed into soup or baked into pies. Its seeds are also edible and highly nutritious.

NOVEMBER RESET

Last 2 places!

"Thrilled to bits to report 9lbs down and 8 inches off!

Thanks to you all for your support in the Group and to Lindsey for your fabulous mentoring. This has been my second reset which I decided to do for the discipline, accountability, support. The Reset programme cleanses, energises and continues to change my relationship with food.  The early morning mini HIIT classes are a fantastic way to start the day. There is 24/7 online support and guidance.  It is a safe and welcoming environment where you can ask questions without feeling silly.

The group of participants were refreshing and inspirational.  I never ceased to be amazed at each person’s interpretation of the tasty and satisfying menus.

The online supports from Lindsey is fantastic and spans 4 weeks in total.  It is incredibly good value for money and is a game changer for me.

I am feeling feeling cleansed, energised and any cravings have disappeared! "
