I’M OFTEN asked if the stories we publish in the magazine are put on our website, and the answer is no. The articles you’ll find on the site, www.you.co.za, are completely different to what we publish in print, with just a few exceptions. So what you find in the magazine you won’t find on the site and vice versa. Best to read both! See top right on the opposite page to see where to find us online if you haven’t yet.

Their metabolisms are almost nonexistent and they’re always ravenous STANDING on the scale he raised his arms triumphantly. “I’ve got my life back,” Danny Cahill said. “I feel like a million dollars.” The crowd went wild. American reality competition show The Biggest Loser thrives on delivering incredible success stories but this one took the cake. In just seven months Danny, an aspiring musician, had shed 136 kg – more than half his body weight – slimming down from 222 kg to 86 kg. This sensational achievement not only made him the winner of the show’s eighth season but also the biggest loser in the history of the contest. Fast forward six years and despite his best efforts, more than 45 kg have crept back onto Danny’s 1,8-m frame. He now…

‘The most beautiful things in the world can’t be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart’– AMERICAN AUTHOR HELEN KELLER HE BROKE MY HEART Q I was friends for a year with a 41-year-old man who’s almost completely blind (he has 15 percent vision in his right eye). I’ve always been attracted to him and the feeling was mutual. A few months ago he said he’d had a glimpse of me in the sunlight and described my green eyes and blonde hair. He said his friends had told him I was attractive and much younger than the girlfriends he’s had before. I’m 38 and had noticed he seemed to attract older women. But he declared his love for me and said he wants a permanent relationship.…

TOMBOY FROM DOWN UNDER “I’m happiest when I’m surfing or out on the farm hunting wild pigs or riding around on motorbikes” says the blonde beauty, who had a rural upbringing. The third of four children, Margot (25) was raised in the tiny Australian town of Dalby by a single mom, physiotherapist Sarie Kessler (61). Margot, or Maggot as her family affectionately call her, says she had a flair for performing as a child. “I was always very dramatic as a child, always putting on performances and making everyone pay to watch.” NO OVERNIGHT SUCCESS STORY Margot was 17 when she moved to Melbourne and landed a role in the soapie Neighbours, a rite of passage for many Aussie stars. In her spare time she worked with dialogue coaches to…

LEMONADE BEYONCÉ Did Jay Z cheat on his wife, Beyoncé? Who’s “Becky with the good hair”? Bey’s latest offering about infidelity has the Beyhive buzzing. From the opening Pray You Catch Me it’s clear: she’s on a mission – to out a cheating partner. But is it Jay Z, or is it all a marketing ploy? The star who was Drunk In Love on her Beyoncé album now seems to be disillusioned with love. She makes social and political statements, and experiments with styles from reggae and blues to country. The title was inspired by Jay Z’s 90-year-old grandma, Hattie…

VARSITY DROPOUT Grant’s acting career kicked off when he dropped out of university to accept the role of Baby John in West Side Story on Broadway. MIDDLE CHILD The 26-year-old is one of three children – he has a younger sister, Gracie (22), who studied social work, and an older brother, Tyler (28), who’s a photographer.

There are positives and it’s important to concentrate on them, says Rakhi Beekrum, a Durban-based psychologist. “Tell your loved ones you’ll have a healthier, happier family life.” There will be fewer arguments about to money as everyone will be on the same page – no whining or nagging for luxuries – and more time to spend together as a family doing things that don’t involve doling out wads of cash. Spending quality time together on a hike or a picnic can be a lot more rewarding than hours of shopping in overcrowded, overpriced malls. “Children often mirror their parents’ behaviour so if you show you’re coping with downscaling, the kids will adjust well to the change” life coach Suyan Budhoo says. Downscaling can be a tough adjustment but it can…

Make sure you get a good balance of protein, wholegrains, vegetables and fruit. Drinking enough water at regular intervals can also aid your metabolism. Dietician Felicity Schoombie advises drinking 35 ml of water in a 24-hour cycle for every kilogram you weigh. So someone who weighs 80 kg must take in 2,8 litres a day. Egg white contains high levels of amino acids, which increase the metabolism. An iron deficiency can slow the metabolism. Red meat and chicken livers contain a lot of iron. Chillies contain capsaicin, a chemical that fires up the metabolism. Studies have shown that regular coffee drinkers’ metabolisms are 16 percent faster than non-coffee drinkers.…

At the time of going to print NPA head Shaun Abrahams had not yet declared the organisation’s intentions. Political scientist Professor André Duvenhage expects that those in the Zuma camp “will do everything in their power to see how long they can postpone the case. Their next step is probably appeal, then possibly the constitutional court.” And by the time things have picked up speed “a few years will have passed and he might by then be hoping to retire under a kind of political settlement.” Unless there’s an appeal process, the NPA must be given the chance to do its constitutional duty by bringing charges against Zuma again, constitutional expert Professor Pierre de Vos says. In the absence of an appeal, the NPA doesn’t have the discretion to decide…

HIGH prices have compelled many households to curb their appetite for meat. But there’s no need to be miserable – the umami flavour of mushrooms make them an excellent substitute that won’t break the budget. They’re packed with nutrients that are found in both meat and vegetables, and their low kilojoule count makes them ideal for slimmers. MUSHROOM PILAF SERVES 4 Preparation: 20 min Cooking: 30-40 min 20 g dried mushrooms 1,5 litres (6 c) boiling water oil and butter 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped 3 spring onions OR 1 small onion, chopped 10 ml (2 t) grated ginger 400 g chopped mixed mushrooms 500 ml (2 c) jasmine rice 5 ml (1 t) sesame oil 15 ml (1 T) oyster sauce 20 ml (4 t) soy sauce handful of…

WAVES Actress ZENDAYA usually changes her look with each red-carpet appearance. We love her new finger-waves. DOUBLE BUNS Actress JACKIE CRUZ wears Japanese-inspired odango double buns that are braided at the back. CURLS TAMERA MOWRY’s curls are coiled and lightly coloured at the ends while the soft fringe gives the style a light feel. CIARA’s longer beach-wave curls on the other hand frame her strong jawline and fall perfectly over her shoulders. MOHAWK STYLE REGINA KING’s neat Mohawk suits her face shape. MARGOT BINGHAM might have got it right if her cornrows weren’t so thick and the middle was tidier. KEKE PALMER shaved both sides of her head, adding lines and topping it off with a fringe. TREND ALERT Whether you prefer double buns or topknots, anything knotted is in.…

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII – THE FORCE AWAKENS 2015. 132 min. 10-12PG V. Sci-fi adventure. R139* Thirty years after Return Of The Jedi (1983), military dictatorship the First Order wants to rule the galaxy but is opposed by the Resistance. Both are looking for missing Jedi knight Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). A Resistance pilot (Oscar Isaac) finds a map to Luke’s location but when he’s captured transfers it to his droid BB-8, which ends up with a scavenger (Daisy Ridley) and an Awol stormtrooper (John Boyega). When the seventh instalment of the saga was announced fans were filled with excitement but mostly trepidation after the disappointing prequels. But luckily Star Wars creator George Lucas sold the rights to Disney, where the bosses made the brilliant decision to appoint director JJ…

After 16 years in the music industry the 34-year-old local bluesman is launching his eighth studio album, Introvertigo. We caught up with the singer and guitarist. What can we expect from your new album? In my opinion it’s the best songwriting I’ve done; I think that comes through strong. It’s still heavily guitar-driven music, as always, but with some strong songs as a vehicle. The focus on songs is the biggest difference from my previous offerings, but it’s similar in many ways to my last album. It’s at a place musically where I’ve wanted to go for years. What inspired the title? I’m an introvert at heart, and I’ve often experienced a feeling of what I call “introvertigo”. All the songs are written through the eyes of an introvert, which…

FAMOUS BIRTHDAYS IN LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS A GEMINI . . . Doesn’t do boring and doesn’t do intense. May struggle to show their feelings. Stays interested with fresh news, new fads and good stories.

THE Ancient Egyptian civilisation flourished in northeast Africa for more than 3 000 years – longer than any other civilisation in the history of humankind. It existed from about 3500 BC (5 500 years ago!) until about 300 BC, when Egypt became part of the Greek and then Roman empires. Although it was long ago we know a lot about the Ancient Egyptians because they were the first people to develop a form of writing to record events. The best-known Egyptian writing system is hieroglyphics (meaning “holy script”). The Ancient Egyptians built temples to worship the gods and pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs, the kings of Ancient Egypt. On the walls of these buildings they depicted various everyday events such as farming and hunting. These paintings tell us how…

‘Artist Damien Hirst’s painted Audi A1 went for £350 000 in 2010’ IT MIGHT look as if it were based on a picture of a car coloured in by a five-year-old, but this Bentley convertible is in fact a one-of-a-kind work of art that’s likely to fetch some serious cash when it’s auctioned next month. That’s because the man behind the car’s whimsical colours is renowned British pop artist Peter Blake. The Bentley Continental GT V8 S Convertible usually sells for around £165 000 (R3,5 million) but thanks to Blake’s artistic input the hospice charity it’s being auctioned to raise money for, Care2Save, can expect to make a whole lot more. Art aficionados with deep pockets are expected to part gladly with some of their fortune to own a vehicle…

THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE READING the letter from Devastated Mom (YOU Say, 28 April) made me sad. I just want to say that you’ve done nothing wrong – addiction has nothing to do with the way you brought up your child. You have not failed your child. Your child being an addict is not a reflection on you. I am an alcoholic and a drug addict. I spent 15 years using drugs and wrecking my life. Today I’ve been clean for seven years and I know quite a lot about the disease of addiction. I’ve been a patient in drug treatment centres and I spent a year working in a treatment centre after getting clean. I spread the message of recovery every day, in every way I can. I’m proud to…

No stranger to the big screen, the talk-show queen’s next task is to tackle a starring role in The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks. Oprah is producing the film with Academy Award-winning screenwriter Alan Ball and will play Deborah Lacks, the daughter of a woman whose cancerous cells were illegally harvested and used as the base for many medical breakthroughs after her death. The movie is based on the bestselling book of the same name and Oprah has been passionate about the story for years. Deborah sets out to discover more about her mother’s role in the medical world – which includes helping to find a vaccine for polio and contributing to groundbreaking cancer and HIV/Aids research. Oprah’s other movies include The Color Purple – for which she was nominated…

1 SHE’S A SWEET, EASY BABY, ACCORDING TO HER POPS Doting dad Prince William called his daughter “a little joy from heaven” when she was just two months old. Last month he gushed about her again, saying, “She’s very easy, very sweet . . . but all the fathers say to me, Just wait; when they get to nine or 11 they get crazy.’ I’m looking forward to it. There’ll be some drama.” 2 HER GREAT-GRANNY AND GRANDFATHER ARE SMITTEN Kate says the queen was “thrilled” when Charlotte was born. “I think as soon as we came back to Kensington she was one of our first visitors here,” she said during an interview for the ITV documentary The Queen At Ninety, adding, “She’s very fond of Charlotte and takes an…

‘Since day one everyone wanted to know if I was going to be a doctor’ THEIR father is one of the most famous medical men in history, a pioneer who gave new hope to the dying and inspired generations of surgeons. And even though it’s been nearly 15 years since he died, his presence still looms large over the children he left behind. Armin and Lara Barnard, the son and daughter Professor Chris Barnard had with his third wife, Karin, were just 12 and four respectively when they lost their dad. Lara (18) barely remembers him but Armin (27) has vivid memories of his father reading poetry and spending time with him on his farm in the Karoo. Armin still loves that part of the world and makes the annual…

LOOK AT GROWTH Consider increasing the monthly repayments on your home loan – of which the interest rate is linked to the prime interest rate – rather than putting money in a fixed-deposit account. Say you invested R10 000 in a fixed-deposit account at an interest rate of 8,3 percent. After 24 months you’d have R11 400, says Niel Fourie of the Actuarial Society of South Africa. But if you put R10 000 into your bond account instead – and the interest rate on your bond is prime plus one percent – you’d have paid off R12 160. WHY IS IT MORE? Home loans at interest rates below prime are something of the past for most people. Most South Africans now pay prime plus one percent. With the prime rate…

THE BABYSITTER A young man agrees to babysit for a couple with several children so they can have an evening out. After supper he sends the kids upstairs to bed and settles down on the couch to watch soccer on TV. One boy however keeps creeping down the stairs and each time the young man sends him back to bed. At 9 pm the doorbell rings and there’s the next-door neighbour. “Good evening” she says. “Is my son here perhaps?” “No” the young man replies brusquely. Just then a little head appears over the banister. “I’m here, Mom” the little boy says, “I tried to leave, but he wouldn’t let me!” B FIGG PLAYING IT SAFE A priest is called in to give comfort to a man who’s dying. “Denounce…

SHE’S always believed you can tell a lot about a person by the sweets they eat. This is an idea Joanne Harris explored to tantalising effect in her bestselling novel Chocolat and she toys with it again in her latest offering, Different Class. It’s a dark, psychological thriller so it’s fitting that instead of opting for sticky sweet chocolate her main character, Roy Straitley, almost always has a stash of liquorice allsorts on hand. After 34 years teaching at St Oswald’s Grammar School for Boys in North Yorkshire there’s very little that can surprise the sardonic Latin master – or so he thinks. A shadow from his past is stirring, a boy who even 20 years after leaving his class still haunts the teacher. A boy capable of bad things.…

STUDY BACK-TO-FRONT Er, say what?! Think about it: when you get an exam timetable you always study for your first exams straightaway, right? Start studying for your final exam first – that way, the week before the exams you’ll be studying for your first exam and the content will be fresh in your mind. TURN YOUR MEALTIME INTO A STUDY SESH Teaching others is the most effective study method – even if it does make you the Hermione Granger of the dinner table! Teach your family something each night. You’ll be able to consolidate your knowledge and work out the areas where you can improve. PERFUME POWER Ever noticed that a certain scent can transport you back to a specific time?

KARNAK, the Ancient Egyptian temple complex, was a wonder of its time that covered 1,5 km2 by 0,8 km2 on the banks of the Nile River in Luxor. You can still see the remains of its impressive temples, chapels, pylons, buildings and monuments today. A large portion in the middle of the worship complex was dedicated to Amun-Re, the chief deity of the Theban Triad – a threesome of Egyptian gods popular in the area of Thebes. Construction began about 1391 BC and Egyptian rulers who followed left their mark. We show the temple as it once was, a single storey, but we’ve “lifted” the outer walls to show inside (RIGHT). THE HYPOSTYLE HALL It covered a vast 5 000 m2 and once had 134 columns up to 21 m…

‘You speak things into being. I believe that’ IT’S 7.30 on a chilly weekday morning, but she already has her gym session behind her and, dressed in grey tracksuit pants, a black knit top and fluffy boots, she’s practically fizzing with energy. “I’m used to early starts,” DJ Thando Thabethe says. “I wake up very early every day to exercise.” With this kind of dedication and commitment, it’s little wonder the 25-year-old has already ticked most of the boxes on her list of things she wants to achieve. Part in a TV show – tick. Present a radio show – tick. Bigger part in a popular TV soapie – tick. Own mid-morning show on 5FM – tick. And now she can add movie role to that list of accomplishments as…

HE MOTIVATES his star striker by swearing at him and calling him rude names. And when Claudio Ranieri catches his players slacking off at training he has an unconventional way of dealing with them. He holds up an imaginary bell and pretends to ring it. “Dilly-ding dilly-dong!” he chants in his thick Italian accent until he’s sure he has their attention. For Leicester City fans “Dilly-ding dilly-dong!” has become something of a mantra as they’ve watched the eccentric manager and his plucky team defying their critics to achieve one of the most unexpected triumphs in soccer history. At the start of the English Premier League season they were the underdogs – so bad were their prospects that bookies were willing to lay on 5 000/1 odds of them winning the…

HOW could they do it? Game of Thrones fans were dumbstruck when the final episode of season five of the hit TV show saw popular hero Jon Snow lying lifeless in a pool of blood. The series is famous for the ruthless way it culls key characters, but Snow’s death took things to a whole new level – he’s such an integral part of the plot it was impossible to imagine how things could go on without him. So everyone held their breath in anticipation when the first episode of the new season aired. Fifty minutes in and poor Snow was still lifeless after having been stabbed to death by members of his very own Night’s Watch. But just as everyone was starting to despair, the witch Melisandre saved the…

What would your private investigator name be? Hourglass – because it means everything would need to filter through me first. If bad habits were a crime, what would you be guilty of? Going to bed after midnight. I never go to bed earlier than that. Name one unsolved crime/mystery you’d love to solve if you were a real-life investigator? I’d like to investigate all the missing planes nobody can find. We need to understand what we’re dealing with and where they’ve ended up. Who’d be the Dr Watson to your Sherlock Holmes? My five-year-old daughter. She’s my everything and always makes me smile. She’s so inquisitive and likes throwing around big words. If she continues like that she’ll soon be a child genius. What pet peeve do you wish you…

THE mystery surrounding PRINCE’s death continues to deepen as more details emerge against the background of an official investigation and family drama over his estate. The Purple Rain singer’s sister TYKA NELSON (55) and his five half-siblings met in court recently to begin the task of going through his assets. According to an insider the family have agreed to “openly communicate with one another and address any claims as they come”. Prince (57) reportedly left behind a $300 million (R4,5 billion) fortune but according to Tyka he didn’t have a will. Authorities are still searching for one. Meanwhile it’s emerged Howard Kornfeld, a specialist in addiction to painkillers, was called on the night of 20 April by Prince’s team because the musician was “dealing with a grave medical emergency”. Kornfeld…

‘Being away and having no phone service was so amazing!’ – KIM HOLA BABY SAINT! Five-month-old SAINT WEST recently made his long-awaited public debut during a family trip to Cuba. The tot, who’s largely been kept out of the limelight since his birth in December except for the occasional appearance on social media, was spotted in the arms of his dad, rapper KANYE WEST (38), as he and his wife, reality TV star KIM KARDASHIAN (35), and their daughter, NORTH (2), made their way into their hotel. We have to say judging by these pictures Saint takes after his dad in the looks department. They were joined on the trip by Kim’s sisters KHLOÉ (31) and KOURTNEY (37) and at one point the clan, who are filming season 13 of…
