Everyone knows that missing out on protein could result in loss of muscle mass and weaker hair, skin and nails… But many sources contain dairy in. So, whether you suffer from a dairy allergy or  intolerance, choose to avoid it for health reasons or are vegan: Here are eight of the BEST plant based protein powders - that not only will help you nail your macronutrient goals, but they also taste amazing too! 1. Missfits Why we love it? Missfits is fairly new to the protein industry but is already a must-have from many fitness bloggers and instagrammers. It's crammed crammed with all of the essential nutrients we need for our body to function properly and unlike the others it is only stocked in sachets meaning it's a portable option to keep in your gym bag without weighing you down. Grams of protein? Missfits has 15 grams of protein per 25gram serving Best flavour? My favourite flavour was the berry sachet which I mix into my morning porridge oats and the unique coffee flavour – as a coffee addict it gave me the energy to get into the gym and push through a hard workout without so much of a sip of pre-workout! 12 Sachets available here for £20.00 2. Natures Plus - SPIRU-TEIN PureTrition Why we love it? Natures Plus is the definition of naughty but nice. It tasted way too good to be healthy, yet somehow it is! Filled with vitamins, minerals and chocolate-y goodness this protein powder is to die for. SPIRU-TEIN PureTrition is organic and soy-free for those who have issues with soy products, developed from organic rice, quinoa, spirulina and flaxseed. Grams of protein? PureTrition has 19 grams of protein per serving Best flavour? My favourite flavour has to be the dark chocolate protein which tastes SO much like real chocolate. I'm definitely a dark chocolate...

[title maintitle="Stop fearing carbs and start loving them : Why your booty will thank you" subtitle=""] Bulking is a difficult topic, it's very much a love / hate relationship, especially for us ladies who are so temperamental with our goals. We all love being able to eat more food but yet at the same time it's totally disheartening waving goodbye to all traces of abs and summer bodies. We all admire those sexy curvy booties that have clearly been built in the gym but at the same time envy and find ourselves confused about how to attain them for ourselves without all of the extra calories pouring into our stomachs.

Vegan Bodybuilding: Deni Kirkova's Speech at Vegfest [caption id="attachment_1249" align="alignnone" width="625"] Deni speaking at Vegfest (Picture: Deni Kirkova)[/caption] Speaking up about my biggest passions at Vegfest London 2016 was one of the most important moments of my life so far. I spoke about Vegan Fitness and the speech was titled How to Craft Your Dream Body and Achieve Optimum Health on a Vegan Diet. This is something I am an expert in. People were spilling out of the room to hear what I had to say, which was a true honour and meant so much. In fact, it means more to me than most things in this life to promote veganism, and plant-based health and fitness. What greatly frustrates me is the notion that we need to torture and kill animals in order for our brains, muscles, and other parts of our physiology to work their best. [caption id="attachment_1250" align="alignnone" width="619"] Deni two days after winning her MGU trophy (Picture:: Deni Kirkova / Bikini Girls Diary)[/caption] We seem to think we're 'supposed' to mess around with other creatures, use and abuse them, ignore their free will and inflict unknown pain and suffering upon them because we may benefit from ingesting parts of their bodies or excretions. Of course, no-one is going to stand up and admit they believe in animal abuse. People work hard, mentally, to create emotional dissonance around this. It is unthinkable. And so we distance ourselves from the true and blatant fact. Drink milk? I'd say you contribute to child murder, the breaking of a new mother's heart and abuse of the miracle of bearing children. Rearing cattle for dairy is the most unfeminist practice I can imagine. There are simply no two ways about it. And I'm not sitting her hating on all non-vegans pointing the finger. I just see it as a fact - and I was one of...

So, how can we ensure that we are getting the most out of our workouts and are there any top secrets that can be revealed?

[title maintitle="" subtitle="SCHOOL OF STRUT"] To strut  /strʌt/ - verb: to parade, prance, flounce or sashay to proudly show off one’s best features or talents Well, this is definitely how I would describe School of Strut. I attended the 'strutology' event launched by founder, and curvaceous goddess, Zoe Mcnulty, a body activist whose motto is that although we all want to be fitter, healthier, sexier and more confident. It doesn’t have to involve body shaming, hours in the gym or fad diets. Unsure what to expect I head into the dance hall for the Strutology event and am immediately greeted by a swarm of happy, healthy and extremely confident ladies singing their hearts out and dancing their socks off to a loud, bubbly 'oh-so' sassy gentleman leading a parade of moves to extremely loud pop music. I was in heaven! Two songs in and I'm waving my arms in the air and flicking my hair like I just don't care - and that was only the warm up! Zoe is introduced as the 'Headmistress' of the School and rightly so. As she takes her well deserved place centre stage and stirs up the crowd, the women cheer and wolf whistle in anticipation and I find myself eager to see what is going to happen next. First we start with a 'SexyStreet' class in which Zoe leads her prepared mix of flirty, cheeky and sassy  choreography with looks of flirtation and confidence that has me developing a slight girl crush! The whole class is delivered to popular chart songs remixed into one another without knowing which could be coming next. with loud music this class reminded me of my street dance teenage years and made me instantly want to rejoin. [title maintitle="" subtitle="STRUTOLOGY"] Nobody seemed nervous or judged it was such a warm, friendly and overall extremely empowering atmosphere The second part of...

[title maintitle="" subtitle="Hands up who's done ballet before? "]
Yes, I'm up there with you in the 'yes, but not since I was younger' department...Often leaving us thinking that now we have stopped we have completely ruined those dreams of becoming a prima ballerina - so instead of trying again we invest in either a gym membership or failing that a VERY big dinner...
