What about this for 2020? Can ‘new year, new you’ be about your outlook and not your body? Can it prioritise your self-compassion? Your willingness to address what’s underneath the desires? The top of New Year’s resolution lists are inevitably: Lose weight Go on a diet Join a gym Where 2 + 3 are in […]
Could you rate your hunger and fullness on a scale? One of the most valuable exercises I do with clients is guide them through rating their hunger and fullness. I love this exercise as it allows for a connection to the unique sensations and signals that your body is sending you. And cultivating these […]
The question that seemingly everyone wants an answer to. Say you’ve rejected the idea of fad diets but surely there’s a “sensible” diet plan to lose weight right? Maybe one where you eat smaller meals, exercise more and/or restrict certain types of foods? What could be the harm? I want you to consider something right […]
I use this term a lot. And for good reason. If you’re not the expert of your own body, then who is? The reality is however, that virtually everything around us leads you to believe that you’re not the expert and that you couldn’t possibly know what you need. Except that you do. Anything else […]
This recipe has fast become a favourite of mine. It honours so many of the attributes that makes food satisfying, nourishing and pleasurable to eat for me. Those attributes encompass how simple food is to prepare, how versatile the dish or meal can be, the variety of textures and temperatures involved, the deliciousness (of course!) […]
I’ve used the term. It’s in the media. And social media influencers are certainly (mis)using it. So what is this Intuitive Eating thing? Another diet? Something where you only eat donuts and ignore health? Another fad? No to all of the above. Intuitive Eating is a foundation for developing a new and positive relationship […]
This is a recipe that ticks off a whole heap of boxes. The ‘too tired and uninspired’ box. The ‘don’t know what to cook’ box. The ‘I want something yummy, nourishing and fast’ box. The ‘can use whatever I’ve got at home’ box. Not bad for one little recipe right? I’m a huge fan of […]
Do you know about the Dunning Kruger effect? In short, those that know less say more. Or at least, believe that they know more. The mind-bender that is – you don’t know what you don’t know. No area of human society is exempt from this effect, though Nutrition as a field and industry certainly falls […]
I’ve been blogging about health since 2013. It started with my Personal Trainer mum and quickly became my journey, my story. I blogged through calorie deficits, ‘clean eating’ trends and ‘no sugar’ movements. My own experience. But things have changed, as they should. You don’t know what you don’t know right? And now as a qualified Nutritionist, […]
I’ve never been a huge fan of labels. Right-wing, hippie, girlfriend, hustler, whatever. A label to me can signal belonging to something sure. An idea, a community, a tribe. But equally, it can feel closed off to other ideas and options. Call it being a millennial because who doesn’t love another option or call it […]
