Product Information

Because, importantly, Parker doesn't believe in taking a restrictive, crash dieting, approach to mealtimes. For example, women experiencing perimenopause symptoms or who are entering the menopause become more insulin resistant as a direct result of changing estrogen levels, meaning a bespoke approach would be needed here. After gaining about 6-8 inches each of bust, waist and hips after having my first child, I was optimistic that my body would ‘zip’ back to my old lean and leggy size 8-10.

This breakfast always leaves me full and energised throughout the morning – perfect for a tough workout.

Having slowly and greedily gained the 2 stones I worked so hard to lose for my wedding, I decided at the ripe age of 45 that 2020 seemed an appropriate moment to feel good, as well as looking slimmer. I’ll train in my Harrods Clinic three times a week and on the other days I have to do something, even if that’s 10 minutes of a few signature moves.
