BBC Radio London with Salma and Lionheart

BBC Radio London with Salma and Lionheart. 22.30pm Thursday night. . Chatting about how the perceptions of the perfect body and young women's positive body image has been dramatically and adversely affected with the advent of social media, especially over the last 10 years. . . Back in the day - in the 1970s, the decade in which my novel "Secrets in the Dark" is set - young women would have scrutinised their bodyshapes in the mirror, wishing they could have been slimmer, taller or even bigger breasted - looking more like their favourite model or pop star - and addressed their issues with a dramatic diet or some slimming pills. They never had the pressure of negative online peer judgement and the skewed perceptions of online reality versus real life, causing comparison anxiety, unrealistic ideals of perfection and mental health issues. @bbcradiolondon @palamedespr @salmaandlionheart

Ask your friends or your family how they see you?

Ask your friends or your family how they see you? The answer will always be more positive than how you believe they perceive you and how you see yourself. You will be so surprised So Think of one word to describe ...... "How you see yourself. And then, "How you think others see you. "How you'd like others to see you." And start asking.... . Did your three answers match? I want you to love what you see in the mirror. The same as how others see you. That unique, glamorous, confident, sexy, ageless beautiful woman who doesn't compare herself to others. . . . Beyourbestyou

Good morning. Good Friday . My happy place by the sea with dogs @misslucy_lou and family for Easter weekend.

Good morning. Good Friday . My happy place by the sea with dogs @misslucy_lou and family for Easter weekend. . This picture was taken by my daughter on our morning dog walk after 4 days of the 5 day Prolon intermittent fast-mimicking 1000 calorie a day diet plan. My daughter commented I was looking significantly slimmer. I don't know how much weight I've lost as I prefer to not weigh as I don't believe obsessing with weight or calories is a healthy mindset. . The scientifically researched mix of vitamin supplements together with the packeted vegan soups, nut and cocoa bars and fresh olives were actually really tasty and quite easy to manage for 5 days without feeling faint or too hungry or deprived. I do like my food. . Prolon do caution no exercise during this period, however I did have a yoga class and dog walks and was fine. . Intermittent fasting is how I live day to day always leaving 12 hours after my last meal to my first of the following day. And when I can, 2 consecutive days a week, leaving 16-18 hours overnight ( an early supper, no breakfast, late lunch) . Not difficult. . So these 5 days mimicked this way of eating but with reduced calorific intake. Much the same as the Michael Mosely 1000 cal a day eating plan for helping to reverse type 2 diabetes. . Happy Easter everyone. I'm now looking forward to family Easter weekend with proper meals which are still healthy and also a bite or two or three of a dark chocolate Easter egg. . @prolonuk @flipside_pr

There is a wonderful local old fashioned-style greengrocers on the New Kings Road london SW6

There is a wonderful local old fashioned-style greengrocers on the New Kings Road london SW6 that sells an amazing array of loose vegetables-no plastic wrap to be seen- and all sorts of yummy health foods too. . These sunflower, broccoli and kale micro greens have a higher concentration of vitamins, phytonutrients, antioxidants and minerals than normal greens contain. Microgreens are also rich in enzymes, which enable them to be more easily digested. . This lunch I threw together looks huge on the plate but is mostly the microgreens, avocado ( for healthy fats) and wilted spinach ( for iron) With a salmon fillet ( for omega3) griddled for a crispy skin in extra virgin olive oil (healthy oils) . . The sauerkraut is for good gut health, a tablespoon eaten before the meal, . and a couple of olives can also act as a natural probiotic as well as all their other antioxidant and healthy oil benefits. . . . . .

With the brilliant Bryony Gordon

With the brilliant Bryony Gordon after her open, honest and funny talk in the first of a series of " Live Well" inspirational talks at the Hurlingham club. . Loved Bryony and her no filter approach to life and being true and authentic to who she is. . That "we should all be kinder to ourselves" And "We should say NO more often" Were two of Bryony's thoughts that resonated most with me. . Most women are so self-critical and often feel they are not enough. But they are and should allow themselves to be who they are. That is why Bryony's Instagram is always real and never filtered and so is mine too- hopefully to inspire women of all ages. Never to try to be something they are not. Be individual and unique. . Great to meet you Bryony and have a chat at the end. . I really enjoyed listening to you talking spontaneously with no prompts, with your energy and joie de vivre and how you now embrace life sober and grab it by the balls. @bryonygordon . . . . . @hurlinghamvenue
