Food guilt can creep in during the festive season but it doesn’t have to. At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we believe that all foods can fit into a balanced lifestyle. Whether you're managing a health condition, training as an athlete, or simply enjoying time with loved ones, eating should be a source of nourishment and joy, not stress.

Here’s a gentle reminder:
One meal won’t undo your progress.
You don’t need to “earn” your food.
Your body deserves kindness and care, always.

Our dietitians offer compassionate, evidence-based support for older adults, NDIS participants, and athletes alike. We help you build a positive relationship with food, without guilt or restriction.

The holidays are all about connection, celebration and yes, delicious food! At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we believe in enjoying all foods in moderation and building a positive relationship with what’s on your plate.

Here are a couple of our dietitians’ festive favourites:

Mini Egg & Ham Quiche with Leftover Christmas Ham
These bite-sized quiches are perfect for using up leftovers
Here’s how we like to make them:
Whisk together eggs, a splash of milk, and a pinch of pepper.
Add chopped leftover ham, diced onion, and grated cheese.
Spoon into mini muffin trays lined with shortcrust pastry or even just greased directly.
Bake until golden and set about 15–20 minutes at 180°C.
Optional extras: chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, or herbs from the garden

Rocky road
So simple and versatile - just choose your favourite toppings, mix with melted chocolate, and let it set in the fridge. Our favourite combo?
Milk chocolate
Clinkers
Scotch finger biscuits
Raspberry lollies
Marshmallows
It’s a nostalgic treat that’s fun to make and even better to eat.

Food is meant to be enjoyed, not judged. So, this season, give yourself permission to savour the flavours and celebrate without guilt.

During the holidays, it’s easy to get caught up in labels, rules and guilt around food. But here’s a gentle reminder: food is more than just fuel. It’s connection, culture, comfort and celebration.

Whether it’s a slice of pavlova shared with family, a BBQ with mates, or a quiet cuppa and biscuit with someone you care about, these moments matter. They nourish more than just your body.

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we support a balanced approach to eating that includes enjoyment, flexibility and kindness. No strict rules. No guilt. Just practical, personalised nutrition that fits your life.

The holidays are a time for celebration, connection, and yes - delicious food! But festive eating doesn’t have to derail your health goals. Here are some practical ways to enjoy the season while still feeling your best:

Plan Ahead
Eat regular meals leading up to events to avoid arriving overly hungry. This helps with portion control and mindful choices.

Balance Your Plate
Aim for a mix of lean protein, veggies, and wholegrains. Enjoy treats, but pair them with nourishing foods to keep energy levels steady.

Be Drink-Aware
Alcohol and sugary drinks can add up quickly. Alternate with water or sparkling mineral water to stay hydrated and reduce excess kilojoules.

Savour, Don’t Overdo
Take time to enjoy your favourite festive foods - eat slowly, and stop when you’re satisfied, not stuffed.

Stay Active
A walk after meals or a fun activity with family can help digestion and boost your mood.

Our dietitians can help you navigate the festive season with confidence and balance. Whether you're managing a health condition or just want to feel good through the holidays, we’re here to support you.

Reducing sodium doesn’t mean sacrificing taste. It’s all about smart swaps and flavourful additions. Whether you're managing high blood pressure or just looking to eat better, here are some easy ways to keep your meals delicious and heart-friendly:

Herbs & Spices to Try:
Garlic, onion powder, paprika, cumin
Fresh herbs like basil, parsley, coriander, thyme, rosemary
Lemon zest or juice for a bright, tangy kick

Low-Salt Alternatives:
Choose “no added salt” or “low sodium” canned goods
Use salt-free seasoning blends (like herb mixes or chilli flakes)
Swap soy sauce for reduced-salt alternatives

Tip: Taste your food before reaching for the salt shaker - you might be surprised how flavourful it already is!

Our dietitians at My NutriHealth Tasmania can help you build a low sodium eating plan that suits your lifestyle and health needs.

Looking after your heart doesn’t mean giving up flavour or enjoyment in your meals. Two of the most trusted approaches to heart health are the DASH and Mediterranean diets and they’re easier to follow than you might think

DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension):
Focuses on reducing sodium intake
Encourages plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins
Limits saturated fats, added sugars, and processed foods

Mediterranean Diet:
Rich in olive oil, nuts, seeds, and oily fish
Includes daily servings of vegetables, legumes, and whole grains
Promotes moderate dairy and minimal red meat

Both diets support lowering blood pressure, improved cholesterol levels, and better overall heart health. Whether you're cooking for yourself or your family, small changes like swapping butter for olive oil or adding an extra serve of veggies can make a big difference.

Need help tailoring these diets to your lifestyle or health needs? Our Accredited Practising Dietitians at My NutriHealth Tasmania are here to support you.

Diabetes is a condition that affects how your body processes blood sugar (glucose). Whether it's type 1, type 2, or gestational diabetes, managing blood sugar levels is key to preventing complications and staying well.

So, where does nutrition come in?
Eating well helps:
Keep blood glucose levels stable
Support a healthy weight
Improve energy and mood
Reduce the risk of heart disease and other complications

Key nutrition strategies include:
Choosing low-GI carbohydrates like wholegrains, legumes, and vegetables and evenly distributing them throughout the day
Including lean proteins and healthy fats to slow digestion and reduce sugar spikes
Watching portion sizes and meal timing
Limiting added sugars and highly processed foods

Our experienced dietitians at My NutriHealth Tasmania can help you build a personalised plan that fits your lifestyle, medications, and health goals.

Creating a healthy home environment doesn’t have to be complicated. Small, consistent changes can make a big difference. At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we support families with practical strategies to build lifelong habits that support wellbeing.

Here are some easy ways parents and caregivers can promote healthy eating at home:
Make Healthy Choices Visible
Keep fruit bowls on the bench, chopped veggies in the fridge, and water bottles within reach. When healthy options are easy to grab, they’re more likely to be eaten.
Eat Together When You Can
Shared meals help model positive eating behaviours and create opportunities to talk about food in a relaxed setting.
Get Kids Involved
Let children help with shopping, meal planning, or simple food prep. It builds confidence and encourages curiosity around food.
Keep It Simple
Quick meals like veggie-loaded wraps, stir-fries, or baked potatoes with toppings are nutritious and easy to prepare — perfect for busy families.
Offer, Don’t Force
Encourage variety by offering different foods regularly, but avoid pressure. Kids are more likely to try new things when they feel in control.
