Danny Malin: ‘From Rate My Takeaway to healthier takeaways’ – Column

Every week I’m in the gym, but it’s not for exercising.

My daughter goes to Puddle Ducks swimming classes at The Village Hotel. T’old wife takes her in the pool and I enjoy a coffee while doing my admin.

I shared recently that I’ve been on a health kick but we’ve also been moving, which is super stressful house and I’ve fallen off the wagon. 

It’s amazing seeing them go swimming even when the house move is chaotic because my wife looks stressed before jumping in and after a splash, swim and some games she’s buzzing. Baby Athena is too, and then she has a good sleep. It reminded me I need to stick to my get-fit plan of walking more and eating healthier even when things are busy and stressful. Rather than just reach for quick fixes, I’m determined to use this lent period to add to my life by moving more with the help of t’old wife who’s a PT, as well as eating foods that are good for me. If I’m grabbing a healthier takeaway I’d head to Sqew in Leeds or for eating out I’d try Estabulo for their meat and salad bar. Or Kerala Canteen for healthy Indian grub. 

All my family keep asking me to review healthy takeaways but sadly people don’t want to watch me eating salad bowls and falafel. 

People often watch me when they’re on a diet to taste the food through the screen. 

As for the exercise I’ll be getting my steps in to start off with, drinking more water and eating more regularly.
