Second week of Restart and the weights are already going up at the gym! 🔥

Let go of the idea that “eating well” means restricting calories to the point where progress stalls.
You can fuel your body properly and build muscle. In fact, that’s exactly how you get the best results.
💞When your nutrition and training are aligned, your strength, energy and confidence grow together. 💪✨
Proud of this team!

✨Supplements I don’t usually recommend as a dietitian (and why):

‼️Vitamin C – You can easily meet your needs with 1–2 serves of fruit a day. High-dose tablets? Your body just excretes the excess in urine—literally money down the drain.

‼️Regular fish oil – Many brands have low EPA/DHA levels. To get enough, you’d need around 4 capsules daily. Better to invest in a high-strength fish oil instead.

‼️Multivitamins – Nutrients can compete with each other for absorption. It’s rarely “one size fits all.” With support of a dietitian, you can target what you actually need.

‼️Gummy vitamins – Usually full of sugar and low in nutrients. Fun? Sure. Worth it? Usually not.

‼️BCAAs – If you’re eating enough protein (from dairy, meat, eggs, tofu and whey), you’re already getting BCAAs. The evidence doesn’t really support extra benefits for most people.

‼️Metamucil – It’s just psyllium with flavour and a higher price. Plain psyllium husk is more natural and cheaper—a win-win.

‼️Pre-workouts – Often very high in caffeine. I’m cautious about stimulants, especially since so many people already struggle with anxiety, sleep, or mental health. Some cleaner options exist, but always count your total daily caffeine.

✨These are a some of the supplements I don’t routinely prescribe in practice.

‼️Are your evenings full of cravings? You’re not alone.

Most of my clients tell me they eat “pretty well” during the day - only to find themselves snacking nonstop from late afternoon into the evening.

Here’s what’s usually happening:
✔️ Low calorie intake throughout the day
✔️ Meals lacking in protein, fibre, and healthy fats
✔️ Tiredness + hunger + poor planning = late-night overeating

If you check the graphs above, both scenarios show the same total calories - but how and when those calories are consumed makes a big difference.

Instead of restricting all day, try the opposite:
✅ Fuel your body consistently
✅ Prioritise nutrient-dense meals
✅ Support your energy and satisfaction levels
✅ Organise your meals for the week

Give it a try and let me know ✨

🍊Are you skipping protein at breakfast?
Have you been fasting in the morning for so long that your body’s telling you it’s time for a change?

☕️Then grab a cuppa and have a seat — because we’re diving into why protein at breakfast is especially important (and no, two eggs alone won’t make it!).

We all know protein helps build muscle — but did you know that starting your day with a high-protein meal (around 25-30g protein) can also support hormone balance and help stabilise blood sugar levels throughout the day?

✨ When you’re intentional about adding protein-rich foods to your breakfast (along with fibre from complex carbs and healthy fats), you’ll notice:
✅ More energy 🔋
✅ Better focus 🧠
✅ Greater satiety 😋
✅ Fewer cravings 🍫

And behind the scenes, you’re supporting your insulin sensitivity, cognitive function, hormonal health, and muscle maintenance. That’s a lot of wins from just one meal! 💪

I shared some high protein options that I love adding to my clients’ dietary plans 🫶
