The beautiful Jessica Simpson has had a busy two years giving birth to not one but two adorable children, Maxwell and Ace.

However, Jessica also received quite  a lot of criticism surrounding her weight gain, particularly during her first pregnancy.

The singer has admitted that she ate without thinking during her first pregnancy and so gained much more weight than she should have.

But now, crediting the help of Weight Watchers, Jessica has reached her weight-loss goal and is one proud mama!

Posting this gorgeous photo to her Instagram account, Jessica wrote: “AND…a white t-shirt!!! #goalreached thx @weightwatchers”.

Being packed with a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, seaweed has long been known for its goodness, but it seems there is more to the ocean’s slimy algae than first thought.

According to Scientists from the University of Newcastle’s Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences, alginate found in kelp is to be the latest tool in our fight against fat.

The findings were published in the journal Food Chemistry and lead scientist Professor Jeff Pearson said: “We have already added alginate to bread and initial taste tests have been extremely encouraging. Now the next step is to carry out clinical trials to find out how effective they are when eaten as part of a normal diet.”

Researchers found that alginate helps suppress the digestion of fat by blocking the action of the enzyme and avoid the “side effects of convention anti-obesity drugs that inhibit enzyme activity.”

Now all we need to do is find a few seaweed recipes.

There’s nothing worse than the feeling we get after overindulging. It can make us feel bloated, sluggish and hopeless.

If you’re tired of feeling this way and want to start the New Year with a clean slate, take a look at the feel-good snacks below.

Get some protein into you.
The right amount of protein can help you feel fuller than most carbs and it’s better for you. Greek yoghurt and cottage cheese are both great sources of protein and energy.

Replace Tayto with popcorn.
Popcorn is a great alternative for crisps. It’s a low-calorie snack that will keep you going without having to feel bad after.

Stack up on vegetable sticks.
You can chop up some carrots and bring them with you to college or work. The more healthy food you have easily available, the less likely you are to eat junk food.

A new exciting app has just been released onto the Apple apps store that is designed to make the lives of those suffering with type 1 diabetes easier.

Those who suffer from diabetes know it can be both difficult and dangerous to calculate the portion of carbohydrates needed and how much insulin is required. Sick of guesswork and calculations, Health Apps founder and health psychologist Deborah Wilder came up with the Cook & Count Carbs App.

Wilder developed the app after learning how difficult it can be for diabetes sufferers to monitor their carb intake when her son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes age ten years old.

The Cook & Count Carbs App allows quick access information about carbs content of nearly 2000 ingredients and can stop the nightmare of counting and calculating for type 1 diabetes sufferers.

The app can also be useful for those trying to control their weight through low-carb diets such as Atkins or athletes who need to monitor their carb intake.
