The bigger question is: Pepsi max or Coke Zero?
Seriously though, it’s ok to choose zero calorie/diet soft drinks.
And if you are actively trying to lose weight, they may offer you a benefit.

The health halo.
All food contains calories regardless of how “healthy” they are.
You can (and probably should) still eat these foods, but just be aware of portion sizes *if you are actively trying to lose weight* Enjoy them.
YOU NEED CALORIES BECAUSE THEY GIVE YOU ENERGY. AND YOU NEED FOOD BECAUSE IT COMES WITH BENEFICIAL NUTRIENT SO YOU CAN SURVIVE & THRIVE.

Ps. Eat your veg.

Stress free fat loss.
It can be done.
Think *sustainability*
Don’t go too low too quick, you’ll just feel too hungry.
Choose satiating foods with plenty of variety. Health matters.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. You control what you eat, the food doesn’t control you. You can make things work regardless of the situation.
Ok… that’s multiple reasons.
And if you need help, give me a shout.

Let’s talk all or nothing.
Or, all or something?!
Stop striving for perfection. Just a conscious action, a choice to engage in a health behaviour is enough.

Happiness is…
When your long-term nutrition client, first time bodybuilding client, completes her first season as a bikini athlete with a first place @pca_official Naturals.
I’m so over the moon for you @ellencmanning 🤩
We’ve said it before, this was so much more than a bodybuilding prep.
Only you & I know the full story & it’s one to be proud of.
Now go enjoy so much needed rest & sunshine ☀️

Sorry this is a lot longer than normal but heres a bit of chocolate/sugar reduction education.
Why we can’t “just take the sugar out” of our favourite foods.
The real question is “do we even need to”?
Foods are meant to be enjoyed. Foods like chocolate are meant to be enjoyed in moderation.
The problem is never the food itself. Chocolate is delicious, as it should be.
Ps. Chocolate labelled as sugar reduced tastes like 💩 It’s not chocolate.
Need help? DM me.

PLEASSSSEEEE stop believing everything you read!
If we keep listening to the next new big thing in dieting, we’re going to run out of things to eat.
We didn’t get it right with grapefruits.
We didn’t get it right with cabbage soup.
Gluten free faded out.
If we believe everything we read now, we would currently be dying from…
Carbs 🥖
Meat 🥩
Carbs 🥔
Vegetables 🥦
Processed foods 🍪
Anything cooked 🍝
Carbs 🍐
Solid foods 🍣
Anything Tim Spectre doesn’t like 🧁
Carbs 🥪
Your own gut microbiome because you ate a carb 🦠
Instead, let’s focus on the tired & tested.
Want to lose weight? Calorie deficit. In whatever way is most sustainable for you.
Eat your fruits & vegetables (please carnivores).
Eat fibre (also, please carnivores).
Eat less saturated fat 🥓 & more polyunsaturated fats 🥑
Eat lean sources of protein 🐓
❌DELETE anyone with extreme views that preach the removal of entire food groups.
… anyone that works in absolutes “it WILL ruin your health”
… anyone who doesn’t understand inflammation.
Thanks.

Give me strength ☕️
The theory is that coffee [caffeine] has been “proven” (it hasn’t) to “encourage fat storage around the mid-section” through the stimulation of adrenaline, in turn stimulating cortisol (stress hormone) release.
In the body, every action has MULTIPLE reactions. It is the NET of these reactions that matter, i.e., do the positives outweigh the negatives or vice versa?
So yes, caffeine intake does stimulate a small increase in cortisol, but…
Caffeine intake actually promotes weight loss (or at least reduces weight gain) because it ALSO increases metabolic rate, fat oxidation, & energy expenditure, & reduces appetite.
In addition, moderate caffeine consumption is generally associated with some health benefits e.g., reduced risk of certain diseases, improved physical & cognitive performance.
