When I asked listeners what they wanted to hear about on #apodadayinmay a lot of requests to discuss food, diet and nutrition were sent in. I am now on the hunt for the right sort of expert to discuss things such as emotional eating, binge eating and the more complex issues around our diets and what we eat as it's a topic that deserves its own show and also the right person to contribute to the conversation.In this episode though I'm answering the question about my favourite foods, meals and recipes with my Top 5 Easy meals...Amelia Freer's Beef Curry.Amelia Freer's Simple Prawn, Coconut and Aubergine Curry.Eve Kalinik's Sweet Potato & Halloumi Warm Salad.Eve Kalinik is also the nutritional therapist I saw when I was struggling with gut issues related to stress and anxiety.

I rarely exercise without music and a great playlist can turn a good workout into a great one. In this episode I share the three different types of playlist I like to create to keep me company on my runs and during my resistance workouts. Plus, for your enjoyment, I've created some Spotify playlists for workouts that you can download/follow too.BPM - Steady Jog - a great, pop playlist to accompany a steady, easy jog.Crescendo Playlist - those songs that start off slow, build up and take you beyond your personal best.Feelgood Exercise - the tracks that'll get you in your gym kit even on days when you aren't feeling the pull of the gym. I will not apologise for all the Beyonce and Gaga. 😉To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!
