Britains Biggest Breakfast

9th March 2016

This Friday – 11th March 2016 is Britains Biggest Breakfast ‪ in aid of Cancer Research UK and we are in!

FOOD, MONEY, CANCER. 3 of the most serious words we know. But if you put them together you get Britains Biggest Breakfast! People all over the country will be hosting a big breakfast, others will be donating to CRUK via their host, while scoffing down their breakfast delights. As much as we would love to, we cant host a breakfast for you all, so instead we are fundraising to help beat cancer sooner, by offering our no nonsense breakfast smoothie recipes, in exchange for your donation. The booklet has our 3 fave breakfast smoothies for you try!

Interantional Womens Day 2016

8th March 2016

Today is International Womens Day 2016. I want to urge all my wonderful ladies to do themselves a favour and take a look at the wonderful women I had the pleasure of sharing last Friday with. Inspiring doesn’t even cover it. I was blown away by their positive generosity and their incredible achievements. Without sounding too much of a hippy chick – all these women resonated with me and the journey I’m on. I know you’re are with me, so encourage you, really, to take a look at the stories of these strong women too.

Please go ahead and seek out all you can about these 3 women today: IWD BLOG

Positive Steps

2nd March 2016

Anyone fancy joining me in taking some positive steps for charity? Walking (for health) and for Mind in Croydon?

There’s no fundraising required (unless you want to too), just a small entry fee to pay to get involved. It’s 15kms – just walking, so I imagine may take a couple hours. I’m in, so would anyone like to join me for snacks and gossip on the way round?

I would love your company and its all for a good cause. Its not until the end of June, so fingers crossed the weather has improved by then too! Email me info@nitakothari.com to let me know if you’re up for it! Then register via this link: http://www.mindincroydon.org.uk/positive-steps.asp

Positive steps. Positive energy. Positive attitude. No nonsense.

Thank You

25th February 2016

This we just want to say a great big fat huge thank you. I want to take the opportunity to say thank you to everyone that has got involved with no nonsense so far. Our little tribe is growing fast and that makes me happy and grateful to you all, every day. This last week especially, I’m grateful to all of you who who have come to me personally and shared your recent successes and said thank you for advice and help. This is what makes it all worthwhile and this is exactly why I do this. I realise how important a thank you is, so I’m paying it forward (or back?!) and appreciating you all today too!

So who are the no nonsense tribe and should you be with us?

Well we’re not athletes or pros, we are not dieters or body/food shamers, we don’t have a lot of time, or a lot of money. We are not too interested in health products that we cant pronounce or have to buy online rather than the supermarket, we don’t do fads! We do enjoy healthy eating, healthy living and are very much interested in nutrition. We do enjoy a drink, a night out and (lots of) cake. We understand BALANCE. We want to save time and money while preparing real food to make us feel good. And in all ways, we strive to create an environment and outlook that makes and keep us and those around us happy. We like to share how we do this by following a no nonsense, easy, practical approach.

Does this sound like you too? Well come join us then:

you can find a bigger thank you and ways to join in via this weeks blog right HERE

Getting Fit in Feb week 1

5th February 2016

It’s been almost a week of Getting Fit in Feb. How are we all doing? Anyone actually getting some more activity in their lives this week, anyone eating well, sleeping well, or making and sticking to any other health and wellness goals yet….? Yes? Well done! Keep it up!
I am proud to say I found a suitable beginners running plan, and I’ve pretty much stuck to my intentions of starting it! Treadmill runs twice so far this week with a total of 6kms run. Not a lot to some, but much better than my January efforts…. The image here is a snapshot of wonderfully encouraging reminder I received at the end of Jan that really made me laugh! But it just goes to show – we all have to start somewhere and we can always do better!

For motivation, support and tips on how to Get Fit in Feb, how to shape your goals and actions and measure your results, please get involved HERE and get in contact info@nitakothari.com for more info and a free consultation (any consultation bookings made in Feb will be free)

World Cancer Day 2016

4th February 2016

On World Cancer Day this year, please help us raise awareness that EVERYONE can make healthy lifestyle choices to reduce their cancer risks.

To start you can like/follow/share our social media today using the hashtags #WorldCancerDay and #WeCanICan Facebook / Twitter / Instagram / Google+

And you can see our full blog article here: World Cancer Day blog

This is an issue close to our heart as personally, we have succeeded in achieving optimum health and wellness after surviving cancer in our early 20’s. We discovered a successful focus on nutrition and fitness was the way to overcome the depression, anxiety, nosedive in confidence and self esteem, further ill health and total lack of energy that followed too.

Now living the happiest and healthiest life possible, we founded no nonsense nutrition in 2015 with a passion to help you do the same. As a certified and fully licensed nutritional therapist and health walk leader, my no nonsense focus is on you as an individual. Together we create tailor made, sustainable programs to re-balance health, energy, weight or other related goals – no nonsense consultations and workshops are for anyone ready to put themselves and their health first. no nonsense nutrition provides honest and practical advice on everyday nutrition, health and fitness to aid your overall wellbeing. For an honest consultation, or to find out more please register your interest by contacting us here: info@nitakothari.com

To hibernate or get some winter exercise?

10th December 2015

Welcome back to our Thursday blog! Its already December (yep), so this week we are thinking about how to get in some winter (and perhaps even outdoor!) exercise during these colder months….eg: 1) Buy a new winter workout wardrobe? 2) Get some new tunes? 3) Seek out group activities to inspire each other? 4) The reward of hot chocolate after an early morning run in the cold….? These and lots more tips, ideas, motivators and inspiration in the blog – have a read via this link: nononsensenita blog – winter exercise

Remember, remember…this chilli recipe

5th November 2015

How do you celebrate bonfire night? I think its traditional here that we all gather in someones garden (whoever has the biggest space), the men build a bonfire, we make Guys from paper, balloon faces and charity shop suits…the catherine wheels are lit and never really work scaring the life out us all but we still oooooh and aaaaah when the big bangers go off and the at the “grand finale” of garden fireworks. We do this until our toes and fingers are numb, while wearing all the winter clothes we own and we eat chilli that is hotter than the sun to warm us from the inside out – I love bonfire night!

So as its November 5th and Thursday blog day we are sharing with you our veggie chilli recipe to enjoy tonight, along with some safety tips for your fireworks celebrations.

Be safe and enjoy!
