๐Ÿšซ Stop skipping lunch!

Hereโ€™s a quick, high-protein lunch hack you can whip up in under 10 minutes ๐Ÿณ

These Air Fryer Egg Cups are one of my go-tos when I want something nourishing, balanced, and full of flavour.
What youโ€™ll need:

* 3 wholegrain wraps
* 3 large eggs
* 1 tbsp Greek yoghurt (for extra creaminess & protein)
* 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
* 1 tbsp chopped herbs (parsley, coriander, or spring onion)
* ยผ tsp cumin powder (optional)
* Salt & pepper to taste

1๏ธโƒฃ Prep: Cut wraps into strips and curl around the edges of a lightly greased muffin tin or silicone cup to form a base.
2๏ธโƒฃ Mix: Whisk eggs, yoghurt, herbs, salt, pepper, and spices.
3๏ธโƒฃ Fill: Pour into wrap cups and top with cherry tomatoes.
4๏ธโƒฃ Air fry: Cook at 180ยฐC for 8โ€“10 mins until set and golden.

Enjoy warm with a side salad for a balanced, high-protein, high-fibre meal.

They also keep perfectly in the fridge for up to 3 days โ€” ideal for meal prep.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Save this recipe for later and tag me when you try it!
Iโ€™d love to see your version โค๏ธ

You might be overlooking one key factor โ€” your sleep.

Poor sleep throws off your hunger hormones (ghrelin + leptin), increases cravings for carbs and sugar, and slows down recovery after workouts.

And one nutrient that plays a huge role in good sleep is magnesium.

Magnesium helps your muscles relax, calms your nervous system, and supports melatonin โ€” your sleep hormone.

Low magnesium levels = restless sleep, tired mornings, and a sluggish metabolism.

Hereโ€™s how to get more of it naturally ๐ŸŒฟ

๐Ÿฅœ Sprinkle pumpkin or sesame seeds over oats or yoghurt.

๐Ÿซ Enjoy a small square of dark chocolate after dinner.

๐Ÿฅ— Add spinach, okra, or amaranth leaves to your curry, stew, or stir-fry.

๐Ÿ› Include lentils or black beans in your weekly meals.

๐Ÿ’ค Sleep better โ†’ reduce cravings โ†’ lose weight more easily.

Periods make weight loss feel impossible ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Even dietitians experience it. During your cycle, hormones like oestrogen and progesterone fluctuate, increasing appetite and cravings for energy-dense foods.

In the luteal phase (the week before your period), progesterone rises, and your body naturally seeks extra fuel to support mood, energy, and the stress of your cycle.

This is why chocolate, carbs, or comfort foods suddenly feel irresistible โ€“ itโ€™s not a lack of willpower, itโ€™s your body asking for energy.

The key?

Fuel your body wisely: protein, fibre, iron-rich foods, healthy fats โ€“ and yes, a little indulgence is perfectly fine ๐Ÿซ.

Periods arenโ€™t a setback for weight loss โ€“ theyโ€™re a signal to honour your body and stay consistent without guilt ๐Ÿ’›.

Letโ€™s talk about it!

๐Ÿ˜ฉ Lost weightโ€ฆ and then gained it all back?

Youโ€™re not the only one โ€” and itโ€™s not because you failed.
When you lose weight too fast or cut out too much, your body fights back.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Your metabolism slows down.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Hunger hormones ramp up.
๐Ÿ‘‰ And before you know it โ€” the kilos creep back.

Thatโ€™s why quick fixes never last.

Real, sustainable weight loss means focusing on balance โ€” not restriction.

Think: steady routines, cultural foods you love, and habits that actually fit your lifestyle.

If youโ€™re trying to eat healthier but still love your cultural snacks, this oneโ€™s for you.

Samosas are a fan favourite โ€” crispy, comforting, and full of flavour. But when it comes to deep-fried vs air-fried, the difference isnโ€™t just in the textureโ€ฆ itโ€™s in the macros too.

Just one fried samosa can rack up around 300 calories and 17g of fat โ€” mostly from the oil it soaks up while frying.

In comparison, an air-fried samosa with the same filling has nearly half the calories and a fraction of the fat, while still giving you that crispy bite you love (especially if you brush a little oil on top before air frying!).

The best part? You donโ€™t have to give up your favourite foods. Itโ€™s all about making small, sustainable swaps that work with your lifestyle and cultural plate.
