25.01.2022 Are you the kind of person who eats even when you know you aren't [or shouldn't be] hungry? This is called emotional eating and you are probably self-soothing with food. Why is it important to understand that? Because you need to develop non-food "soothers" for times when you're anxious, sad, angry, tired, or any other emotion on the spectrum.... If your habit is to eat ice-cream in response to a break-up, or have a glass of wine to soothe the pain of a bad day at work, you will always be in the cycle of yo-yo dieting until you can establish new coping strategies. Go for a walk, call a friend, take a boxing class if you have to. Want to lose weight the betterway? Contact us to find out more.

24.01.2022 Lifespan is how many years you are when you die. If you live to 67 years, your lifespan is literally 67 years. Healthspan is how many QUALITY years you live before you aren't able to do all the things you could previously. For example, you might have a stroke at 55 years, lose your ability to eat solid food, lose your ability to speak coherently and lose your ability to walk without assistance. You might live this way for another 15 years. Therefore, your lifespan i...s 70 years, but your HEALTHSPAN is only 55 years. Want to learn how your diet is impacting your lifespan?

Stir through 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley and a serve of my olive oil mayo mixed with 1-2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and a 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder.

23.01.2022 The humble mushroom Whether you eat them raw or cooked,, mushrooms can provide some surprising health benefits. Mushrooms are rich in B vitamins and a few varieties also contain Vitamin D. Vitamin B12 is especially important for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet as this vitamin is mostly found in meat products. B vitamins convert food into fuel at cellular level, proving us with energy. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that our bodies can make with exposure ...to the sun. It helps our bodies absorb calcium and promotes strong bones and healthy teeth. Mushrooms have strong anti-inflammatory properties. They contain ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant which helps to lower inflammation in the body, suppresses tumour growth, and helps fight infections. Studies have even shown that mushrooms contain cancer-fighting properties; suppressing cancer cell growth and synthesis. If that has put you on the mushroom-eating band wagon, then over over to the Australian Mushrooms website for some fantastic recipe ideas (link in bio). #healthyeating #eathealthy #mushrooms @australianmushrooms #vitamins #bvitamins #nutrition #seeadietitian #dietitian #dietician #weightloss #weightlossmotivation #meatlessmonday #loseweight #lowcarb #vegetarian #vegan #plantbased #pcos #diabetes #T2DM #type2diabetes #eatrealfood #healthyrecipes #easy #easyrecipes See more

22.01.2022 If you had a lactose intolerance, would you be drinking milk, or eating ice-cream and creamy foods? Or would you limit these foods or swap to lactose free products? It's the same for individuals with Type 2 Diabetes [T2DM]. Their bodies have developed an intolerance to carbohydrates and have trouble transporting the glucose out of their blood and into the cells to make fuel. This disease is cruel. A person with T2DM may choose to ignore this disease, thinking they're... getting away with it. But they aren't! Over time, the damage is being done and it can't be repaired. The small capillaries in your fingers, toes, eyes and kidneys are being destroyed, leading to neuropathy, blindness and kidney failure. This cruel disease destroys other organs too but you can't see it. Just like the damage that can be done to your car's engine, without the correct maintenance, if you never look under the bonnet.

21.01.2022 Eating for energy and carb-loading just aren't beneficial UNLESS you're an elite athlete. If your goal is weight/fat loss or to improve your health, then all the recent good-quality evidence suggests there are more benefits when we exercise on an empty stomach. If your goal is fat loss, why would you add more fuel instead of using the onboard fuel (stored body fat)?... Eating carbs before exercise signals insulin which promotes fat storage. Plus, lactic acid signals your body to repair damage and generate more stem cells to keep your body younger. #fit #exercise #exercisemotivation #fitnessmotivation #fasting #goalsetting #fitnessaddict #weightlossmotivation #weightloss #losingweight #fitnessjourney #fitnessmodel

19.01.2022 We aren't meant to ignore hunger because had we done this a thousand years ago, we wouldn't have survived as a species. Diets that severely restrict your caloric [energy] intake will inevitably leave you hungry and searching for more. They rely on willpower, which just doesn't work in the long run. This is one of the main reasons why so many people have success with low carb or keto diets! It takes a lot longer to metabolise proteins and fats, keeping you feeling fulle...r for longer.

18.01.2022 What is a low-inflammatory diet? Under the guidance of a qualified dietitian, you can lower the chronic inflammation that is rampant in adults in the western world by using food as medicine. Chronic inflammation is thought to lead to heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes, among other chronic health conditions.... A low inflammatory diet has also been linked to improvements in the effects from rheumatoid arthritis and polycystic ovarian syndrome [PCOS]. If you live in Australia, and you have newly diagnosed diabetes or cardiovascular disease, or you're having trouble getting control of the impacts, you can see one of our dietitians under the Medicare scheme, and it won't cost you a cent!

17.01.2022 Slow cooker roast chicken This is such an easy meal and can be started before you head to work. My tips and tricks are:... Buy a fresh whole chicken, unwrap it at home and place it in a very large zip lock bag. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and your favourite seasonings (I usually go for something like Moroccan seasoning). Seal the bag, shake to coat the raw chicken in seasoning, and freeze in the bag until required. When you want to prepare it, line your slow cooker with a disposable liner, add about 1 cup stock or water and the unwrapped frozen chicken. Cover and cook on low for about 6 hours. What I do is set the timer on the slow cooker to start at 11am and finish at 5pm. The delay gives the chicken time to defrost (I get it ready before work) before it cooks and it's ready when I get home. Serve with your favourite veggies and enjoy leftovers for lunch the following day #eatrealfood #eatforhealth #protein #easymeals #slowcooker #lchfdiet #lchf #ketoeats #keto #ketorecipes #weightlossjourney #weightlosstransformation #weightloss #loseweightnow #seeadietitian #nutrition

14.01.2022 Iodised salt Iodine is used by the thyroid to make hormones that support healing, growth and metabolism.

Hypothyroidism can lead to fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, dry skin, allow heart rate and always feeling cold. Just 1/2 teaspoon of iodised salt provides your daily requirements.

13.01.2022 Plan for success for the best outcome. * Define your goal - set a time frame and make the goal measurable [for example lose 5kg weight in 2 months] * Develop your strategies for success - what, how and when?... * Set a start date - you might need time to get your strategies in place and to be organised *Prioritise - you set this goal because it's important to you. If it's weight loss, then plan your weekly menu, buy everything you need beforehand, keep your expectations real, and set time aside each day to assess your progress. * Be kind to yourself. Nobody is perfect, life gets in the way of a great plan, and sometimes our day can fall into a pear-shaped heap. Get up, get over it, and move on. One bad meal doesn't negate everything else you've done beforehand, or ruin all the good you'll do in the future. Get back with the plan and you'll be fine.

11.01.2022 Why do most low calorie diets fail? Often this comes down to something so simple as not meeting your protein requirements. Protein is the only macronutrient the body can't make. It can make glucose from stored fats and of course, we know the body can make fat [just have a look at that growing muffin top ]. But, if you don't eat enough protein, your body will start to break down muscle and recycle that protein to feed to other areas that need protein NOW! This is so de...trimental to long-term health so your body signals you to keep eating until it thinks it has enough protein to work with. Even more important for vegetarian and vegan diets. So, how much protein? As I've mentioned before, it's generally around 1g protein per 1kg of body weight. Loads of variables will mean this may not be enough to meet your needs, so it's important to see a dietitian to know your number. #seeadietitian #nutrition #diet #vegan #eggs #protein #weightloss #weightlossmotivation #loseweight #PCOS #diabetes #diabetesrecipes #T2DM #vegetarian #lowcarbdiet #eatforhealth #healthyeating #type2diabetes #t1d #proteinmotivation #easyrecipes #healthyfats #brainpower #weightlifting #gethealthy #losingweight #lchf #lowcarb #keto #ketorecipes See more

10.01.2022 Why is water so good for us? There is no universally agreed upon quantity of water that should be consumed each day, however as dietitians, we typically recommend adults consume 30-35ml/kg body weight/day. That will differ if you are quite overweight or you exercise a lot; especially in hot weather. Benefits of choosing water to drink include... - Helps your brain function - flushes toxins out of the body - keeps your skin hydrated which helps protect you against infections Water also lubricates the joints, keeps your mouth moist to keep bacteria at healthy levels, helps you to feel full and not overeat, helps to normalise blood pressure, regulates body temperature and helps prevent constipation. If you live in a developed country with a clean water system, you don't even need to drink bottled water, saving additional plastic waste. So drink up!

08.01.2022 Omega 3 and Omega 6 - what's the difference? Both are polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (oils). They're "essential" because the body can't make them and they're needed for more than just making energy. Omega 3 is well known for it's anti-inflammatory properties. We see it on pharmacy and supermarket shelves as supplements and we're encouraged to eat more cold water fish, which is a good source of omega 3's.... Omega 6 is lesser known. It's thought to be the pro-inflammatory fatty acid. That sounds bad but we need our bodies to become inflamed at times to help us fight infections and viruses, so you can see why Omega 6 is essential too. However, scientists now believe many adults in the western world have developed chronic inflammation and that other chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes stems from that. Those scientists have noted that a balanced intake of both Omega 3 & 6 seems to reduce inflammation, whereby excess intake [read today's western diet] increases chronic inflammation. The optimal ratio of Omega 3 to 6 is 1:4 up to 1:1. The current western diet can be 1 Omega 3 up to 50 Omega 6 [1:50]! So, how can we improve our 3:6 ratio? It isn't just a matter of increasing Omega 3 (taking a capsule for example). We also need to be aware of the rich sources of Omega 6 and start reducing them too. "What are they?", I hear you ask. Great question. See below for a list of foods HIGH IN OMEGA 6 - Processed seed and vegetable oils - Grain fed meats & dairy - Highly processed meats, pastries, grains So, what's the take home message? Don't just increase Omega 3 food sources (cold fish or flaxseeds for example) but aim to decrease Omega 6 foods too. It's not only beneficial for reducing your risk of developing chronic diseases, but it can improve brain function and relieve arthritis too. #seeadietitian #nutrition #diet #dietitian #weightloss #weightlossmotivation #loseweight #PCOS #diabetes #diabetesrecipes #T2DM #antiinflammatory #omega3 #omega6 #eatforhealth #healthyeating #type2diabetes #t1d #proteinmotivation #easyrecipes #healthyfats #brainpower hearthealth #gethealthy #losingweight #lchf #lowcarb #keto #ketorecipes

07.01.2022 Cheap Low Carb Meals Is there such a thing? There's a belief that eating low carb, or keto, is really expensive but it doesn't have to be. Below are my top 5 tips for eating low carb on a budget. 1. Eggs - these little pockets of goodness can be served as simply as scrambled or boiled, or made into a taste sensation as an omelette filled with cheese, greens and tomatoes!... 2. Tinned fish - save the day with a simple tuna/veg bake, salmon patties, or mix with a creamy sauce and serve over zucchini noodles 3. Sausages & mince - There is simply no end to the number of recipes you can create with these guys. Meatloaf, sausage casserole, and savoury mince are just a few. A quick search of Google will give you even more ideas. 4. Slow Cookers are your friends - You can turn the cheapest, toughest cuts of meat into a delicious, tender delight using your slow cooker. Buy in bulk, cook, and freeze to eat at a later date for those times when you are too busy to prepare a fresh meal. 5. Veggies - load up on fresh seasonal, canned or frozen non-starchy vegetables. Turn veggies into the star of the meal with just a small serve of meat on the side. Veggies are great served as a hearty soup topped with crunchy bacon bits, or a fresh salad served with a small can of flavoured tuna or a boiled egg or two.

04.01.2022 Vegan, vegetarian and plant-based diets have been in the news a lot lately, touting the benefits of limiting animal products in the diet, but is this really better for everyone? Or our environment? Evidence shows eating unprocessed meats and other animal products is the best source of quality protein. It's also the best strategy to correcting malnutrition in children and adults. Most plant-based 'meats' are highly processed products with loads of ingredients, created in a fa...ctory. Often, these products don't even contain all the essential amino acids that are needed to make the protein content useful in our bodies. Studies have even shown these products cannot be sustainably produced at the levels required to replace natural meat products without significant detriment to our environment. You may choose to limit animal products in your diet for religious or ethical reasons, but if your goal is to optimise your health, buy the best quality meats you can afford, and limit the highly-processed stuff #eatrealfood #eatmeat #lchfdiet #keto #lowcarb #protein #weightlosstransformation #ketosis #healthyeating
03.01.2022 Think you shouldn't have too many eggs? I was reminded again this morning on the confusion surrounding how many eggs we can eat before they start to raise our blood cholesterol levels. The science of nutrition is relatively new and it continues to evolve and change as we increase our knowledge and understanding. Previously because eggs do contain cholesterol, and high levels of cholesterol have been linked with cardiovascular disease, it was recommended we don't eat ma...ny eggs each week. Now, we know that about 80% of cholesterol levels in our bodies is actually produced by our livers and cholesterol consumed in our food makes very little difference to the levels in our blood. Cholesterol is actually a necessity in our bodies which is why the liver can make it. It's what provides the structural integrity to every single cell in the body, makes our hormones, helps fight infections and does loads of other things too. Where do we stand on eating eggs now? Thankfully, there isn't a limit to the amount of eggs we recommend be eaten. So, if you like your eggs, get cracking (pun intended!). NB: This is general advice only and may differ if you have certain chronic diseases. Please see your regular doctor if you have concerns, or, DM us for personalised support.

02.01.2022 Type 2 Diabetes is mostly a lifestyle chronic disease that is AVOIDABLE. New evidence and the results from many studies show this awful, cruel disease can be pushed into remission by following a low carbohydrate diet or a Mediterranean diet. Type 2 diabetes, when poorly managed often leads to complications such as chronic kidney disease, heart attacks, blindness and amputations of limbs....

01.01.2022 How much protein do you need? How long is a piece of string? As a general rule of thumb, it's about 1g of protein per kg of body weight per day. So that means an 80kg person needs about 80g of protein every single day. Red meat contains about 25% protein, so, if you only ate steak for breakfast, lunch and dinner, you would need to eat 320g per day to meet your protein requirements. Not much, is it?... You may need more if you do a lot of exercise, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or recovering from illness or injury. High protein foods are mostly from animals [meat, eggs, dairy] but nuts, legumes and seeds are also good sources. In fact, protein can be found in most foods in varying quantities, but the best sources are those from animals as they contain all the essential amino acids our bodies can't make. Want to know more?
