SPICE UP YOUR LIFE
Adiet of chicken, boiled veg and protein shakes might cover most bases, but just as your fitness will benefit from an ever-changing approach, a varied diet makes healthy habits easier to maintain. These meals, all featured in Anjula Devi’s Spice for Life, can be enjoyed as part of a ‘flexitarian’ diet, which basically translates to everything in moderation. “It’s good for our planet and it’s good for you,” says Devi – what’s not to like about that?
