You don’t need a new diet — you need better daily habits.

And the best part? They don’t have to be big, dramatic, or overwhelming.

Fat loss becomes so much easier when you build habits that regulate hunger, support your energy, and reduce all-or-nothing thinking.

These 11 small changes are the ones I see my clients succeed with over and over again.

➡️If it feels doable, you’ll do it.
And if you do it often enough, it works.
Pick one small habit, practise it daily,
and let consistency do the heavy lifting. You’ve got this!

10 facts about me that don’t match my appearance 

Because even in the world of health and nutrition — there’s always more beneath the surface 👀

1️⃣ I’m an ambivert; I love connecting deeply with people but need quiet time to recharge.

2️⃣ My empathy score is sky-high; listening and helping people heal their relationship with food is my superpower.

3️⃣ I can procrastinate like a champ… yet somehow thrive when deadlines are tight.

4️⃣ I never go out without makeup — but at home, you’ll find me makeup-free in my PJs, hair in a bun, tea in hand bingeing medical drama series.

5️⃣ I look organized; but my creativity usually strikes at midnight.

6️⃣ I teach food freedom, but I’ve had to brave diet culture and society’s expectations too.

7️⃣ I love rules; but I also believe in balance and flexibility (in food and life).

8️⃣ I’m confident on camera, but small talk drains me. Deep, real conversations? Always.

9️⃣ I look calm, but I feel deeply; my patients’ struggles often sit with me long after sessions.

🔟 I help people rebuild healthy habits…but I’m human too; some days it’s me vs. my own motivation.

Let’s be honest — it’s never just one square, right?

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to cut out chocolate to lose weight or improve your health. The real magic happens when you learn how to fit your favorite foods into a balanced plan

💬 Tell me in the comments — what’s your biggest weakness: chocolate, chips, or wine gums?

❤️Share this with a friend who you’d share your chocolate with.

💊 Most weight-loss supplements promise miracles… but science says the results are tiny, temporary, or totally overhyped.

Let’s break it down ⤵️
1️⃣ “Fat burners” raise your heart rate, not your metabolism.
2️⃣ Garcinia cambogia? More hype than help.
3️⃣ Green tea extract works — but only slightly, and real tea does the same job.
4️⃣ L-carnitine won’t melt fat; it might just melt your wallet.
5️⃣ Protein powders are optional (not mandatory), when real food can meet your needs for half the price.

💡 Here’s the truth:
The biggest fat-burning combo is still…
Protein + Fibre + Sleep + Movement.

Stop paying for “metabolism in a bottle.”

Start fueling your body with real food — it works better, safer, and cheaper.

You can’t control everything — but you can control what you feed your body every day. As we end off October soon, I’d like to share some insights on breast cancer and nutrition and lifestyle.

Nutrition isn’t a cure — but it is a powerful ally in prevention. Research shows up to 30–40% of cancers can be influenced by diet and lifestyle choices.

Here’s what helps protect breast health:
✅ Fiber – binds excess estrogen for healthy hormone balance. Choose whole foods and whole grains, aiming for 6g fibre per 100g. Oats, quinoa, brown rice, lentils and legumes are all great options to use.
✅ Colorful fruit & veggies – antioxidants fight cellular damage. Plan 5 servings of combined fruits and vegetables every day- eat the rainbow 🌈 and choose a variety of colours.
✅ Healthy fats – from olive oil, avocado, nuts, and omega-3 fish. Try to include at least once a day
✅ Soy – in moderate, natural forms (edamame, tofu, soy milk). It supports hormone regulation.

What to limit:
⚠️ Excess alcohol, processed meats, added sugars, and ultra-processed foods

Every meal is a message to your body — choose one that says nourish, protect, thrive.

💫 Power in showing up for yourself, every day.

This week, protect your balance, honour your boundaries, and step into your most glowing, grounded self.

💜 World Menopause Day 💜

Let’s talk about one of the most common questions I get from women in midlife 👇

“Are there specific foods or supplements that can help with my menopause symptoms or weight changes?”

Here’s what the current evidence tells us:
1️⃣ Nutrition plays a key role — but not in a ‘quick fix’ way.
Balanced nutrition supports every system affected by hormonal shifts: bone, heart, muscle, brain, and mood.
* Adequate protein helps preserve lean muscle and metabolism.
* Fibre and low-GI carbs stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings.
* Healthy fats (omega-3s, nuts, seeds, olive oil) support heart health and inflammation.
* Calcium + vitamin D remain vital for bone strength and fracture prevention.

2️⃣ Supplements can help — but they’re not a replacement for food.
Evidence-based options may include:
* Calcium + vitamin D, if intake or sun exposure is low
* Omega-3 fatty acids, for heart and mood support
* Soy isoflavones or phytoestrogen-rich foods, which may ease mild hot flushes in some women
* Magnesium, for sleep and muscle relaxation (if dietary intake is insufficient)
But many supplements marketed for menopause relief show mixed or minimal benefit. Always assess your individual needs — not every bottle on the shelf is worth your money.

3️⃣ Weight gain in menopause is common — but not inevitable.
Hormonal changes shift how and where fat is stored (especially around the waist), but lifestyle factors make the biggest difference.
✅ Prioritise muscle maintenance through protein + strength training
✅ Focus on nutrient-dense, balanced meals
✅ Manage sleep and stress (both drive appetite and fat storage)
✅ Be patient — the goal is body composition and wellbeing, not the scale alone.

Menopause is a transition — not a diagnosis.
Nutrition, movement, sleep, and self-compassion are your best “medicine.” 💜

If you’ve been struggling with fatigue, hot flushes, or midlife weight shifts, a tailored nutrition plan can help bring balance back.

Feeling tired, dizzy, or stuck with slow progress?

Iron isn’t just about preventing anemia — it’s vital for metabolism, energy, and recovery.

After bariatric surgery or while using GLP-1 medications, your iron needs can increase while absorption and food intake decreases — putting you at higher risk of deficiency.

Low iron levels result in low oxygen delivery to muscles, fatigue, poor workout recovery, and slower fat loss.

👉 So what should your next steps be?
➡️ Regular blood checks, the right supplements, and iron-rich foods are key to keeping your metabolism firing.

14/10/2025

You thought bariatric surgery would spare you from feeling tired and drained?! 

Low energy levels and feelings of tiredness are not just signs of hard times and year-end stress. It’s a sign your body is trying to tell you something is up!

Up to half of patients stop taking their prescribed supplements within the first year — not because they don’t care, but because life gets busy, symptoms aren’t always obvious, and those capsules feel endless.

But here’s the catch…
Micronutrient deficiencies can sneak up quietly — leaving you with fatigue, hair loss, brittle nails, mood changes, and even anaemia long before your blood tests flag it.

Your surgery changed your anatomy — not your body’s need for nourishment.

Those capsules? They’re not optional extras. They’re your safety net.

Here’s how to make it easier 👇
✅ Set a daily reminder or pair it with a routine (morning coffee, brushing teeth)
✅ Try chewable or liquid forms if swallowing is tough
✅ Ask your dietitian to review brands and simplify your regimen
✅ Book your follow-ups; don’t wait for symptoms to scream help 🪫

You’ve come too far to let something so small undo all your progress.
