Resolve with Rachel

24/08/2020

Well, look. It's been 18 months since my last blog post. Which is awkward because my last post was about getting back into blogging.

But my motivation to write content comes and goes, and today it is COMING IN STRONG. And like Taylor Swift and 'Folklore' I'm not going to overthink it. I'm just going to put it out there (and obviously it will also go to number 1).

Motivated by an excellent online discussion I have been involved in on 'Thin Privilege':

DOES WEIGHT = HEALTH?

Read it. Share it. Comment on it. Ask about it. Be respectful, please.

Disclaimer: I acknowledge that my perspective is shaped by my experience as a white, straight, cis-gender, small bodied, university educated female. I have a lot to learn, and a lot more to unlearn.

Studying. Eating. Training. Studying. Training. Eating. Eating. STUDYING. Week 11 of my last semester of uni is nearly over.

This picture is actually from my first week of semester 1... when I was young and fresh and motivated to take myself out for breakfast 😂 It’s been a long road to get here (this is my 7th year of Uni) but I’M SO CLOSE ✊🏻

Throwback to a date night on our tiny Sydney balcony earlier this year. So much has changed in the last few months 🏡🐶📚, but I’ve still got that strong appreciation for sharing a meal and a good beer with excellent people.

Finished product from a few weeks back. Spanakopita, resolve style 💅🏻 It amazes how the more I learn about food, health and nutrition, the less I think about it. It’s just eating. It’s just food. It’s just life (like death, taxes and pooping).

Don’t call your steak a protein or your potato a carb. Don’t call it good or bad or clean or dirty. Call it dinner and get on with you life.

I know this is a confusing message coming from someone who’s dedicated 4.5 years of her life to becoming a Dietitian, but I guess what I’m trying to say is ‘relax, eat some fruit and veggies when you can and try not to have hot chips everyday’ - your body will thank you.

I think I need to blog this out. ✌🏻

The Return of Resolve.

My first blog post in 10 months is now live. AND it's only a 1 minute read.

She's back ya'll. And she's excited.

This is a fantastic read for your Friday morning commute.

I'd love to hear from you. Are you following a ketogenic or paleo diet? Have you been considering it? Have you watched The Magic Pill? Thoughts on Paleo Pete?

The most important message here is not who is right or wrong, but to get you questioning where and from whom your nutritional advice comes from.

Be scrupulous when deciding who to trust. Peer-reviewed scientific research should always form the foundation of your decision making 🤓

A documentary by celebrity chef Pete Evans depicts a high-fat, low-carb diet as a treatment for autism, asthma and even cancer. But how do these health claims stack up?

Long time, no blog! Busy semester of Biochemistry, Food Chemistry and Public Health Nutrition had me a little preoccupied!

Check out the latest edition of Sydney Uni Sport and Fitness' ROAR magazine for my take on nutritional supplements.

There's also a great piece by Think Gray Psychotherapy on exercise and mental health!

Hi guys, if you're at the Fitness Show this weekend make sure you head past the Fit Fest Stage from 12pm to catch a bunch of us doing some super cute Les Mills demonstrations, including BodyPump, BodyBalance and Les Mills Barre.

Also, we'll be on Sunrise tomorrow at 5:30am which I know you'll all tune in for 😂

Get your pump, plie, swag and stretch on during our taster classes on the Fit Fest stage at Sydney's Fitness Show Friday April 20 - Sunday April 22 from 12:00pm - 3:00pm.

Featuring some of your favourite Les Mills presenters and local Sydney instructors, stay for one, or all five of the 30-minute classes and sample the best of Les Mills, including the latest program LES MILLS BARRE: ballet inspired training.
