Why Calorie Counting Does Not Work

There’s more to managing weight than just counting calories. The idea of energy in versus energy out is too simplistic. The notion that you need to eat 1200 calories per day to lose weight is ludicrous. Did you know that the average toddler needs 1200 calories per day? The human body is intricate, and each person faces unique …

THYROID FUNCTION & IRON DEFICIENCY 👇 When work

THYROID FUNCTION & IRON DEFICIENCY 👇

When working with clients with weight loss goals, our first goal is to nourish the body adequately and to check for nutrient deficiencies. Your body can't function at its best when you have a deficiency.

If you're iron deficient, you'll likely struggle with tiredness, damping your motivation. This can make it even harder to resist that tempting chocolate or attend that gym class.

Optimal thyroid function relies on iron. Without adequate levels, your thyroid may work sub-optimally.

The thyroid plays a crucial role in the body, including regulating your metabolic rate. Low thyroid function can lead to symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight gain, hair loss, and body temperature regulation issues. This can impede your weight loss efforts.

You could keep trying to lose weight through calorie restriction, but you're going to end up in a worse and worse place and run yourself down. You may finally lose weight, but I can't imagine your mental state or overall health will be optimal.

So when I say let's focus on your health, I say that for good reason!

Don’t sacrifice your health to be small. Your future self deserves to be healthy and happy.

Tempeh: Cook This Probiotic Food 🙌. Tempeh is

Tempeh: Cook This Probiotic Food 🙌.

Tempeh is one of the best meatless protein sources available, right alongside tofu and legumes. Its earthy and nutty taste makes it perfect for all kinds of cooking.

Not only is it packed with protein (nearly 20 grams in just 100 grams!), but it's also loaded with probiotics. Tempeh is great for boosting the good bacteria in your gut, which helps with digestion, fights off harmful bacteria, reduces inflammation, and supports your immune system.

Tempeh can also be super helpful for menopausal health and is excellent for your heart and bones! Plus, it may help with those pesky hot flashes.

Cooking with tempeh is easy, it absorbs other flavours quickly. I prefer using it in stir-fries. How do you like to use it?

By the way, the photo I shared is from a 30-minute recipe in my BALANCED Nutrition Program - and it's seriously amazing! 😊

Lysine is an essential amino acid, one of the most

Lysine is an essential amino acid, one of the most challenging to obtain through a plant-based diet.

In the clinic, I work with many clients on vegan diets. Often, these women need to eat more protein.

If you're not consuming enough protein, it's likely that you're also not getting enough lysine.

Understanding the basics and implementing a few simple tips will help you plan your meals effectively and ensure you're not missing out on vital nutrients.

Maybe try baking some bread with your little ones 😊.

In the journey of successful dieting, it's vital t

In the journey of successful dieting, it's vital to understand that it's not just about having a healthy meal, but rather committing to a new way of living that ensures long-term benefits.

The real focus should be on the life after achieving your desired weight.

The habits and actions that lead to weight loss are the same ones that will help you maintain it. Choosing sustainable methods that bring joy and fulfilment is crucial, as reverting to old habits will only lead to undesired outcomes.

Change may seem hard, but staying the same also brings its own set of challenges.

Skipping breakfast - could it be contributing to y

Skipping breakfast - could it be contributing to your weight issues?

It sure can.

The issue with skipping breakfast is that it can have an effect on cortisol and leptin.

I have introduced breakfast into countless women's diets, and lo and behold, weight loss has started for them.

Dysregulated cortisol patterns can lead to weight gain and hormone imbalances. If you have a particularly stressful life, a long overnight fast may not be for you.

Another significant issue with skipping breakfast is its impact on your body's ability to maintain skeletal muscle mass. Preserving and building muscle mass is a crucial part of any weight loss regime and is essential for good health regardless. Adequate protein at breakfast can help with mitigating muscle loss.

Extended fasting overnight can be a powerful tool, but no one-size-fits-all approach exists. It's crucial to see if it fits your goals and your current health status with a nutritionist.
