Until about a year ago, Belinda Holloway-Laws thought her eating habits were pretty healthy.
She wasn’t drinking litres of soft drink or eating huge amounts of sweets — her typical day would involve sandwiches for lunch and pasta for dinner.
Yet the mother of 10 found herself gaining 20 kilograms per year, to the point where she weighed 163kg.
Speaking to Today Extra this morning, the 35-year-old explained she was simply eating excessive amounts of foods she’d believed to be good for her.

Whilst weight loss is important, there comes a time you need to feed your body good carbs (lentils, beans, nuts) all these are high in carbs. Also , cheese is overused in the low carb diet. It is great for weight loss but eventually you need to actually eat stuff that is varied. There is weight loss with a balance of low carb-high carb-low carb-med carb days to enable your body to lose weight and be healthy too. simply cutting out carbs (good and bad) is not a healthy message IMO.
"rather boring tweaks"... CARBS ARE LIFE.
