HARD TRUTH: Letting go of diet culture is harder than starting another diet 💯

Because most of us didn’t choose these beliefs… we absorbed them.
👉 Skipping meals. Fighting hunger. Chasing quick fixes. Trusting trends over our own bodies.

Diet culture has normalized behaviours that are actually abnormal:
• under-eating
• chronic restriction
• fearing carbs
• outsourcing health to pills, powders, programs, and prescriptions

And let’s be honest, it’s excellent at taking our money! New plans. New products. New promises. Yet somehow… the weight struggle never really ends.

That’s not a personal failure.
That’s a system designed to keep you stuck.

There is a better way — one rooted in enough food, real nourishment, nervous system support, and habits that actually fit a normal life. No punishment required.

Healing your relationship with food and your body is uncomfortable at first because it requires unlearning what you were praised for.

But health shouldn’t feel like a constant fight.
And weight loss shouldn’t come at the cost of your hormones, metabolism, or mental health.

🤍 You’re allowed to opt out

🚨 “Everything in moderation” sounds balanced — but for many people, 80/20 isn’t freedom. It’s friction.

This isn’t about demonizing food.
It’s about prioritizing the foods that actually nourish you — the ones that stabilize blood sugar, support digestion, reduce inflammation, and keep you satisfied.

Education is power: When you understand how food affects your body, choices feel intentional, not restrictive.

Here’s why 80/20 often backfires 👇
Inconsistent fibre and micronutrients = louder cravings, because your body isn’t fully nourished.

That’s how 80/20 turns into 50/50.
And why moderation can feel harder than simply cutting out the junk.

And let’s talk about the double standard.

“I don’t drink” → respected.
“I don’t eat junk food” → questioned.

Choosing foods that make you feel good isn’t a punishment. It’s self-respect.

Let’s start doing what feels best for our bodies (and stop judging people for doing the same) 🌱

🛑 READ THIS BEFORE CUTTING CARBS OR ADDING ANOTHER PROTEIN SHAKE

7 things I wish more people understood about nutrition

1️⃣ FOCUSING ON WEIGHT INSTEAD OF HEALTH IS NEVER SUSTAINABLE
When the goal is health (energy, digestion, strength, nourishment) weight often takes care of itself. Chasing the scale without supporting your body is what keeps people stuck in the yo-yo cycle.

2️⃣ THE PROTEIN OBSESSION IS MISPLACED
We are obsessed with protein, yet most people are under-fuelled when it comes to fibre, micronutrients, and minerals — the things that actually stabilize blood sugar, support hormones, digestion, and fullness.

3️⃣ CARBS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM
Potatoes, rice, fruit, beans, and oats are the exact foods that helped me lose (and maintain) 45 lbs. Carbs fuel your brain, support your thyroid, and help regulate appetite.

4️⃣ NUTRITION DOESN’T NEED FEAR
Every year there’s a new food to avoid, but most whole foods have been eaten for generations without issue. Context, portions, and your overall diet matter far more than cutting out random foods.

5️⃣ YOU DON’T NEED EXPENSIVE SUPERFOODS
Frozen vegetables, beans, lentils, rice, potatoes, and fruit are some of the most powerful foods for health AND they’re accessible.

6️⃣ EATING WELL DOESN’T NEED TO BE COMPLICATED
Simple meals built around real food, repeated often will always beat a perfect plan you can’t stick to.

7️⃣ ONLINE PERFECTION ISN’T REAL
That fad, cleanse, or “what I eat in a day” will never beat consistency, balance, and nourishment that fits your life.

If this resonates, you’re not broken.
👉 You’ve just been navigating an industry that profits from making something simple feel impossibly hard 🌱

Most chronic diseases are largely preventable ➡️ And that is some of the most empowering news we have!

It means we’re not powerless.
It means daily choices matter.
It means the future isn’t just “luck” or “genetics.”

This isn’t about blame.
People don’t choose illness.
But we can choose to learn from the science (and from the people who came before us) so our kids don’t have to experience the same loss or repeat the same suffering.

Seeing the toll chronic disease takes forces an important question:

If so much is preventable… why wouldn’t we try everything we can?

We’ve been sold the idea that life can’t be enjoyable without ultra-processed food, drinking excessively, and shrugging off the warning signs from our bodies

But when you experience real wellness —
steady energy
clearer thinking
less inflammation
a body that actually works with you —

there is nothing restrictive about that.

Wanting to live longer in a healthy, functioning body isn’t extreme.
Wanting to be here longer with the people you love isn’t obsessive.

It’s love.
It’s hope.

The greatest gift you can give your family is a healthy you who’s still here 🌱

New Year reminder: listening to your body is not a trend 🌱

There’s nothing extreme about noticing that certain foods can:
• increase inflammation
• spike blood sugar
• disrupt digestion
• contribute to fatigue, anxiety, or low mood

That’s not fear-based eating; it’s understanding how food interacts with your body.

The intention behind rejecting diet culture is important… we should move away from shame, restriction, and punishment.

But swinging so far in the opposite direction that we ignore food’s impact on us isn’t serving our health either.

⚡️ You’re allowed to care about how food makes you feel
⚡️ You’re allowed to adjust your choices based on those feelings (physically and mentally)
⚡️ And you don’t need to justify that to anyone else… they don’t live in your body; they don’t live with the consequences

Avoiding foods that consistently leave you feeling unwell isn’t restrictive → it’s self-respect.

Health doesn’t live at either extreme. It lives in the middle where compassion meets logic 🤍

💫 Holiday bloat ≠ weight gain. Let’s talk about what’s actually happening.

The holidays are magical… but all those festive treats, rich foods, and bubbly drinks can leave us feeling a little uncomfortable 😬

Extra sodium, sugar, bubbles, stress, and late nights can leave your belly feeling… not so festive 😮‍💨 The good news? Bloat is temporary — and your body is incredibly good at rebalancing when you support it 💚

Thinking about detoxing?
➡️ WHY CUTTING FOOD BACKFIRES:
⚠️ Slows digestion
⚠️ Increases stress hormones
⚠️ Leads to rebound eating

✨ Consistency > restriction

Give your body a few calm, nourishing days and let it do what it’s designed to do. Support (not control) is what actually brings relief 🤍

Have you ever felt like you needed to “look the part” before chasing your dream?

✨ REMINDER: It didn’t work if it didn’t last 🤷🏼‍♀️

❌ The cleanse didn’t work.
❌ The pills didn’t work.
❌ The program didn’t work.
❌ The diet didn’t work.

💡 If it worked, you wouldn’t need to keep going back to it.

📉 Weight loss isn’t about what you can lose in 21 days… it’s about what you can keep off for life.
✨ No obsession ✨ No restriction ✨ No burnout

💰 The diet industry banks on you believing you NEED their “solution.”
You don’t.

🌿 You need something sustainable. Something real. Something that supports your health, your energy, and your peace of mind 🧘‍♀️

🚫 Stop chasing fads.
✅ Start building habits.
🔄 Detach from “what worked before” — because if it truly worked, you wouldn’t be stuck in the same cycle now.

🌱 Let this be the season you stop dieting and start healing.

👉 Drop a 💛 if you’re done with diets and choosing real health instead.

✨ People ask me how I lost weight… but when I say “I ate a lot of whole foods,” their eyes glaze over…

They want the next big thing. The fad. The restriction. The quick fix.
The diet culture lie that tells us we need to punish ourselves into results.

I get it.
I lived that cycle for years.
But the truth is — this is the only time I’ve lost weight and actually kept it off.

You don’t need another round of start Monday/ start next month/ start next year…
You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to keep going. Even after a slip. Even when it’s slow.

You are enough — right now.
And when you fuel your body with real food, give yourself grace, and let go of all-or-nothing thinking… everything changes.

✨ Watch the reel here — and if it resonates, let me know 💛

✨ Today I celebrate another trip around the sun — and this year, more than ever, I’m reflecting on how deeply I’ve come to appreciate this body I live in.

Not just how it looks.
But how it moves.
How it feels.
How it carries me through life, day after day.

There was a time I saw my body only through the lens of judgment… picking apart the pieces I wanted to change. But now, after years of learning, unlearning, healing, and growing — I see it with so much more compassion.

This body has grown life.
Held little hands.
Wiped tears.
Run miles.
Carried stress.
Held joy.
And through it all — it’s never given up on me.

And I’ll be honest — it’s still hard sometimes. Even today, trying to take a photo I liked of myself was not easy (and I don’t think I do like it). But. I’m learning to quiet those voices and see myself through kinder eyes. *Progress over perfection — always.

The truth is, health isn’t just about the scale or a pant size. It’s about how you feel in your skin. It’s energy, strength, joy, and being able to show up fully — for your kids, your partner, your purpose.

As I get older, I realise the greatest gift I can give to myself (and to those I love), is a healthy, happy ME. 👉 When I’m nourished, rested, and aligned with what my body needs — I’m a better mom. A better wife. A better human.

So today, I celebrate life. But more than that — I celebrate the commitment I’ve made to honour my health, love my body, and create a life that feels good inside and out.

If you’re on your own journey, please know: you don’t have to do it perfectly 💛 You just have to keep showing up. Your body isn’t the enemy — it’s your greatest ally. And it’s never too late to start treating it with the love it deserves.

Cheers to another year! 🥂
