🎄✨ Feeling Tempted by All the Festive Treats? Totally Normal.

As a dietitian, here’s what I want you to remember this season 👇

✨ 1. Festive Foods Aren’t “Bad” Foods
Gingerbread, mince pies, chocolates, mulled wine — they’re part of the joy and connection of the holidays.

✨ 2. Restriction Makes Cravings Stronger
Telling yourself you “can’t” have something often leads to overeating later. Permission reduces the pull.

✨ 3. Satisfaction Matters
Choose the treats you actually love — not the ones you eat just because they’re there.

✨ 4. Balance Over Perfection
Pair treats with meals, keep up your protein + fibre, and add movement where you can. Small habits add up.

✨ 5. Enjoy Mindfully, Not Guiltily
Slow down. Taste it. Enjoy it. Guilt has zero nutritional value. This is my favourite treat at the moment! What’s yours? 🙋🏼‍♀️

💛 You can enjoy festive treats AND nourish your body.
This season isn’t about “being good” — it’s about feeling good.

❄️🍽️ Cold Weather Making You Crave More Food? You’re Not Alone!

When the temps drop, many people notice their appetite goes up. Here’s why 👇

✨ 1. Your Body Wants Warmth
You naturally crave warm, hearty foods because your body is trying to stay cozy and regulate temperature.

✨ 2. Comfort Food = Comfort Feelings
Shorter days and less sunlight can make us reach for foods that feel nostalgic, soothing, or comforting.

✨ 3. Energy Needs Can Slightly Increase
You may burn a little more energy staying warm — especially if you’re outdoors more.

✨ 4. Holiday Treats Are Everywhere
Let’s be real… December is a whole vibe. Extra snacks and sweets become part of the season.

💛 The good news?
There’s nothing wrong with increased hunger in winter.
Try leaning into balanced, satisfying meals that keep you warm and full:

🍲 soups + stews
🍠 roasted veggies
🥚 eggs + grains
🥜 nuts + warm oats
🐟 protein-rich meals
🍫 and yes… the occasional seasonal treat ✨

Listen to your body — winter cravings are normal, and you can honour them without guilt and still stay balanced.

🌈 Multivitamins… Which One Should You Take?
With shelves full of options, choosing a multivitamin can feel overwhelming. Here’s what actually matters 👇

✨ 1. Choose a Multivitamin That Fits Your Needs
Age, s*x, health conditions, and diet all change what your body requires. There’s no “one-size-fits-all.”

✨ 2. Look for the Basics (Not Mega-Doses)
More isn’t better. Choose a multivitamin that provides around 100% of your daily needs, not 500–1000% of everything.

✨ 3. Check for These Key Nutrients
Depending on your needs, you may look for:
• Vitamin D
• B12 (especially for vegans/vegetarians)
• Iron (for those with increased needs or iron deficiency)
• Folate (important for pregnancy/planning pregnancy)
• Calcium & Magnesium

✨ 4. Avoid Gimmicks
Fancy labels, detox claims, or “superfoods” added don’t make a multivitamin better.

✨ 5. Form Matters
Look for brands that use well-absorbed forms like methylated B vitamins and chelated minerals — but again, only if you need them.

✨ 6. If You Eat a Balanced Diet, You Might Not Need One
Multivitamins can fill gaps, but they’re not a substitute for nutrition.

✨ 7. When in Doubt — Ask a Dietitian
A dietitian can help you choose the right supplement based on your blood work, lifestyle, and goals.

⸻

💊 Bottom line: The “best” multivitamin is the one that matches your actual needs — not the most expensive bottle on the shelf.

First attempt at roast potatoes in the air fryer! Perfect crunch on the outside and nice and fluffy in the inside! Used oil but will use goose fat next time! Better than shop bought so much tastier!

💙 Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes? Here’s Why Seeing a Dietitian Matters

A diabetes diagnosis can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
A Registered Dietitian can help you take control of your health with confidence. Here’s how:

✨ 1. Personalised Blood Sugar Guidance
Learn exactly how different foods impact your blood sugars — no guessing, no generic advice.

✨ 2. Build Balanced, Enjoyable Meals
You don’t have to give up the foods you love. Dietitians help create flexible, realistic meal plans.

✨ 3. Understand Carbs (Without Fear)
Carbohydrates aren’t the enemy. Learn portioning, pairing, and timing that keep glucose steady.

✨ 4. Improve Energy & Prevent Crashes
Get strategies to avoid mid-morning slumps, cravings, and blood sugar spikes.

✨ 5. Reduce Risk of Complications
Nutrition is a powerful tool in protecting your heart, kidneys, eyes, and long-term health.

✨ 6. Manage Medications With Food
Learn how to time meals and snacks to work with your medication — not against it.

✨ 7. Ongoing Support & Accountability
Diabetes management is a journey. Dietitians walk with you every step of the way.

⸻

💬 You’re not alone — and you don’t have to navigate diabetes by yourself.
Working with a dietitian can make managing type 2 diabetes clearer, calmer, and more achievable.

💡 Why You Should See a Registered Dietitian
Your health isn’t one-size-fits-all — your nutrition shouldn’t be either. Here are real reasons people work with a dietitian (and why you might want to, too!)

✨ 1. Personalised Nutrition Guidance
No more guessing. Agree a treatment plan suited to your body, lifestyle, and goals.

✨ 2. Manage Chronic Conditions
From diabetes to PCOS, high cholesterol to digestive issues — nutrition can make a huge difference.

✨ 3. Build a Healthy Relationship with Food
Break free from dieting cycles and learn balanced, sustainable habits.

✨ 4. Sports & Performance Nutrition
Fuel smarter, recover better, and optimize strength + endurance.

✨ 5. Weight-Neutral Support
Focus on how you feel — energy, digestion, strength — not just the scale.

✨ 6. Preventative Health
You don’t need a diagnosis to take care of your health. Small steps now = big results later.

✨ 7. Trusted, Evidence-Based Advice
Skip the TikTok trends. Dietitians translate science into real-life strategies.

⸻

🙌 Your health is worth expert support.

☁️🇬🇧 Are you getting enough Vitamin D?

If you live in Scotland, the answer is… probably not. 😅

Between October and March, sunlight just isn’t strong enough for our skin to make vitamin D — even on a clear day.
That’s why many adults in Scotland are at risk of deficiency.

⸻

💡 Why Vitamin D matters:
• 🦴 Supports bone, teeth & muscle health
• 🛡️ Helps regulate the immune system
• 🧠 Linked to mood and mental wellbeing

⸻

☀️ How to stay topped up:

✅ Take a daily supplement – recommended adults have 10 micrograms (400 IU) per day
✅ Eat foods rich in Vitamin D like oily fish, eggs, mushrooms & fortified products
✅ Get outdoors when the sun does show up (but it’s not enough in winter!)

⸻
