Low cook options are for everyone. Perhaps you’re just learning how to cook, or your in a phase of life where your capacity for food preparation is lower, maybe you struggle with chronic fatigue.

These meals typically require at least one or two cook steps using an appliance such as the use of a microwave, toaster or kettle. 

🥣 Instant protein oatmeal and frozen fruit
* Finding an instant oatmeal packet that has added protein invites a more satisfying low-cook meal option and adding frozen fruit offers an additional flavour punch, along with vitamins and minerals.

🍳 Eggs, toast and fruit

🥯 Smoked fish + bagel + cream cheese
* If you aren’t a big fan of fish, try this same meal with smoked tofu to achieve the same savoury flavour.
🧀 Loaded Nachos 
* Grab some tortilla chips and get creative with the toppings - cheese, beans, salsa, corn, tomatoes, avocado, and more!
🍚 Rice bowl - Broccoli (or vegetable of choice), rice and already prepared rotisserie chicken 
* Did you know that you can get both rice and broccoli in microwavable bags?
🍜 Ramen noodles with toppings of your choice (e.g.boiled egg, veggies, sauce)
* Yes, ramen noodles can be a part of your food landscape if you enjoy them. These offer a carbohydrate base to add to, prepare as directed and add your toppings! If you don’t enjoy eggs, you can find protein-enriched ramen noodles, prepare as directed and add some frozen veggies into the mix.

Your body is a miraculous vessel that keeps you alive, not an object to be scrutinized.

What if we lived in a world where we were taught to appreciate our body from a young age?

It would mean a shift in focus from “how do I look?” to “my worth and value are inherent and do not changed based upon my looks.”

You don’t have to make everything from scratch to be “doing it right.”

Let’s normalize outsourcing meal prep.
Pre-chopped produce.
Pre-cooked proteins.
Store-bought sauces.
Frozen foods.
Ready made meals.

Feeding yourself is not a process of collecting points or gold stars for doing it a certain way.

You are worthy of nourishing yourself in a way that feels supportive to all parts of you.

What if this is the year you call a truce with diet culture?

Finding peace with food doesn’t mean giving up on caring for yourself — it means learning to trust your body again. Food freedom looks different for everyone because our experience with food is so incredibly unique. And that’s something diet culture doesn’t want you to know, it wants to sell you a cookie cutter approach that was never meant to “work” in the first place.

A non-diet, weight-inclusive approach can include:
• Letting go of weight as a measure of worth or health
• Practicing self-compassion instead of self-criticism
• Caring for your body without needing to love it
• Removing morality from food — no “good” or “bad” foods

As we move into the new year, know that healing your relationship with food and letting go of diet culture is possible. Although the journey is rarely linear — more like a tangled ball of yarn (which is completely okay), know that support is here — whether through our online courses, or individual nutrition therapy.

You don’t have to do this alone. ✨

During the month of December, the holiday season kicks into full swing. This may mean you’re attending more social events that involve food, it may also mean there’s more of a constant stream of messages telling you to “prepare” for these events by “saving up” calories.

These messages can come from social media, coworkers, friends or it may even be your own internal dialogue - leaving you convinced that the only way to get through this holiday season is with discipline and control.

But, here’s the truth, you don’t need to save up calories, and in fact it often backfires.

Read our latest blog, “You Don’t Need to “Save Up” Your Calories for Holiday Events — Here’s Why” to explore how you can support yourself in having an enjoyable holiday season. You don’t need to shrink yourself to fit the season.

We live in a world that moves fast—sometimes faster than humans were ever meant to. Technology never needs a break… but you do.

When exhaustion becomes your norm, it’s harder to listen to your body’s cues, including hunger, emotions, and energy needs.

Rest isn’t laziness.
Rest is essential.
Rest is human.

Consider this your reminder: pausing is productive too. 💛

It can take time to rebuild trust.

Steps you can take to build trust between you and your body includes honouring your body.

Speak to yourself the way you would speak to a dear friend.

Listen to your body; working with a Registered Dietitian can be helpful to discover what this looks like for you.

Honour the subtle and not-so subtle cues your body is giving you. These cues could look like a grumble in your stomach, a craving for a particular food, irritability, or changes in your bowel routine.

The body has many different ways of showing you what you need to live a well-nourished and full life.

If you’re ready to dive deeper into understanding your relationship with food, observe the tools you’re engaging with surrounding your relationship with food ➡️ tracking apps, meal plans, scales, movement trackers, etc.

Are they helpful or unhelpful in building a supportive relationship with food?

Are there spaces that feel accessible to help you make space for your inner wisdom?

What would it be like to build a bridge from where you have been in your food relationship to where you would like to be?

It is okay to eat in the absence of hunger.

In fact, when we are in recovery, and beyond, there may be many times that we are eating in the absence of hunger.

Hunger is often thought of as this grumbling stomach kind of queue that everyone experiences in the same way. That simply isn’t true.

Hunger can show up in many different ways, and it exists on a spectrum, not a simple on or off type of sensation.

Your hunger cues could be showing up as:
* Feeling irritable (hello hangry)
* Headache
* Nausea
* Thinking about food
* Having difficulty concentrating on the task at hand
* Stomach pain
* Shakiness
* Perhaps what feels like sudden cravings
* Low energy or fatigue
* Daydreaming about food

Do any of these surprise you?

It is okay to eat in the absence of hunger, it actually could be the most supportive thing you do for your body today.
