25.01.2022 Does a low carb healthy fat LCHF diet work? When your GP has indicated you have signs of fatty liver, cholesterol or triglycerides are too high and you are threatened with medications unless you do something about it....do something about it! A LCHF lifestyle addresses the cause of these problems and fuels your body in a way that can support improvement in these issues, especially reducing abdominal fat.... These actual blood results of a patient of mine highlight how effective the right diet can be. The results show a 4 month time frame and show the cholesterol, triglycerides and liver function improved to within normal ranges. This was a 76year old female who couldnt exercise. If she can do it so can you. There are many high quality scientific studies supporting the same results from a LCHF diet in insulin resistance. Obviously individual results may vary but do you feel its worth a shot? Please share to anyone you know who may be struggling with improving their health through traditional low fat calorie controlled dieting as there are answers.

25.01.2022 Thinking about intermittent fasting? There are different ways to incorporate fasting or time based eating with some fantastic benefits. However, there may be better approaches for you based on your dieting history, your state of mind or motivation, your exercise regimen etc. If youre thinking about incorporating any kind of time based eating or fasting I would recommend starting with a low carb or LCHF baseline which controls your physiological state of hunger first. Once y...our mind and body is no longer seeking food constantly, then you its easier to significantly reduce your energy intake without feeling you could eat the leg off the table! #insulinresistance #lchfdiet #pcosweightloss #lowcarbhighfat #lowcarbhealthyfat #lowcarbdiet #lowcarbweightloss #lowcarblifestyle #overweight #weightlosstips #pcosdiet #menopause #lowcarbliving #diabetestype2 #highbloodpressure #needtoloseweight #overweightproblems #insulin #highcholesterol #lowcarbs #prediabetesdiet #diseaseprevention #over60diet #intermittentfasting

25.01.2022 Calories are important but equally important is what your body is doing with the calories! Protein and fat calories are metabolised very differently to sugar and carbohydrate calories. Especially if you have metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance, diabetes, pre-diabetes or PCOS, even stubborn abdominal fat that keeps building up. You can learn how to eat that doesn’t require counting calories, that helps overcome food addiction or sugar cravings and even improves energy lev...els. You can even get the ball rolling before Christmas! We have an online program we are about to launch that will get you on the fast-track to success! It’s based on our in-clinic, dietitian led program and starts soon. You can start feeling on top of your game again. Comment or DM me for more details and stay tuned.

25.01.2022 This is my very brief story!...

24.01.2022 Focus on your waist not your weight. Your waist measurement should be less than half your height whether you are male or female. Its this abdominal weight which represents fat accumulation around the organs, that can cause inflammation, insulin resistance and diabetes.... You dont need fancy equipment to tell if you have this internal fat. All you need is a tape measure. Your waist measurement isnt your trouser size, its possibly bigger because your waist is higher up than where your trousers sit. If your waistline is growing, its time to get serious about a different approach. Low carb healthy/high fat is a dietary approach that has been shown to produce significantly better results than low fat calorie controlled dieting. Its an approach that has transformed the health of so many and isnt a restrictive diet because you dont feel restricted or hungry. I am currently taking clients and can get you started right away.

23.01.2022 This low carb family meal scored at the dinner table. Such a simple recipe that you dont even need a recipe. Im not about making multiple meals for 1 family, Im for making one meal, with minor additions or subtractions if required. Can the kids eat low carb meals? Absolutely! ... Should kids be eating very low carb/keto at every meal? No. Its not recommended for kids to eat all meals that are very low in carbs. Most children have a well-functioning metabolism that is not insulin resistant or carbohydrate intolerant. I often add corn or sweet potato etc separately to theirs. My kids all ate this meal and loved it! Slide photos to see more.

23.01.2022 Cold weather calls for hot breakfast. Chia pudding made on coconut milk feels like such a treat and reminds me of sago or tapioca puddings I used to have as a kid. I make mine with stevia instead of sugar so it is a low carb meal or snack and still full of soluble fibre that makes you feel full.... What are your favourite meals and how have you made some lower carb swaps? If you are like me, reducing insulin levels is key to improving your health and feeling of wellbeing, while keeping weight under control. I love looking at ways to make easy swaps so you can eat the foods you love without compromising your health goals. I can help you do this too.

23.01.2022 Love my new toy! My new Multicooker arrived this week and has already proven itself worthy of a permanent spot on our bench. Like a slow cooker but has stirring function plus other automated functions. Love coming home from work and smelling the dinner from the driveway! Did a vegetable soup and a curry. Might try a chia pudding and a bolognaise next...mmmm.... Lots of lower carb, high fibre healthy meals to be made with this baby! #easycooking #weightlosscooking #lowcarbdinner #lchfdinner #vegetablesoup #healthydinners

22.01.2022 Why do I follow a low carb lifestyle?? - I struggled to lose weight after pregnancies despite following what I had always done ie. followed a low fat, calorie controlled lifestyle. As a dietitian, this really made me feel down on myself! - I no longer had the patience for calorie counting and restrictive eating.... - Really enjoying my food has become more important to me as I give more to others. Its a simple pleasure. - Low carb high fat helps me enjoy my food and feel truly satisfied so I dont feel the need to eat as often (dont have time anyway lol) - I can actually control my weight without high intensity exercise. I run if I want to not because I have to. - I can control inflammation and pain in my joints from #rossrivervirus. Definitely a thing for me I have noticed. - I was a carb addict - whole grain bread, potatoes, especially pasta..and lollies/chocolate. Still like them but there is no craving there and lollies seem too sweet.Big difference. - I want to grow old without the chronic disease that is so prevalent - heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers, liver disease, cancer. I keep up to date with the scientific literature that evaluates lower carbs and higher fats and conclude for myself that I support this way of living. If you already live this way, what are your reasons? Or if youre thinking about it what would you like to be different if your life?

22.01.2022 85% Low carb bread with real butter,egg, tomato and spinach LCHF or low carb healthy/high fat is a way of eating that helps regulate your appetite. This makes it easier to eat less in the long run without feeling deprived.... 1)protein helps you feel full 2) fat helps you feel satisfied and makes food taste good! 3) fibre from vegetables and low sugar fruits, nuts and seeds helps you feel full and is good for your gut health and mood. 4) lower insulin levels allows Leptin (the hormone that tells your brain youre full) to work better. You may find your main meals are higher in calories but you probably wont feel the need to snack as much resulting in a lower calorie intake (not a fan of daily calorie counting).

22.01.2022 If you cant exercise, enjoy movement as much as you can. Exercise not only burns more calories/kilojoules to assist weight loss,which independently improves insulin resistance, but has also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity for 2-48hrs afterwards depending on the exercise. If you struggle with weight loss, have high blood pressure, high blood fats and tend to gain weight around the middle, these may be signs that you are insulin resistant. ... #insulinresistance #weightlosssurgery #diabetestype2 #lowcarbdiet #pcosweightloss #menopauseweightloss #prediabetes #lchflifestyle #lowcarblifestyle #metabolismbooster

21.01.2022 If you are feeling a bit limited in what you can eat with a lower carb approach, remember there are quite a few alternatives to wheat flour when cooking that can easily be substituted into your regular cooking. For you could swap flour in pancakes for such things as coconut flour, almond meal, lupin flour or chick pea flour which will reduce the carbohydrate density and increase fibre. Whats your fave alternative flour?... www.dnagroup.com.au #insulinresistance #menopauseweightloss #lchfdiet #pcosweightloss #overweight #weightlosstips #lowcarblifestyle #lchflifestyle #lowcarbdiet #lowcarbdiabetes #lowcarbliving #menopause #lowcarbweightloss #highbloodpressure #needtoloseweight #pcosdiet #metabolicsyndrome #lowcarbs #LCHF #overweightproblems #lowcarbfood #dietitianapproved #fattyliver #sugarfree #insulinresistancediet #whycantiloseweight #healthyeatinghabits #progressnotperfection #mealplanning #lowcarb

21.01.2022 This study is another example of how a low carb high fat diet can improve weight and metabolic health in older people by reducing unhealthy abdominal fat. This study group even included 3 eggs daily as a protein source, further defying the long held notion that eggs, and indeed high fat diets, are bad for cholesterol levels and weight. This is the type of research that fascinates and excites me and I love seeing lives change in my clinic! https://medicalxpress.com//2020-08-focuses-low-carb-high-f

20.01.2022 LCHF pancakes. I cheated and didnt make from scratch. But these low carb pancakes with sugar free maple syrup totally hit the spot! Typically, LCHF or low carb healthy/high fat has a focus on using real food, not commercial, to avoid added nasties like hydrogenated fats and hidden sugars. There is place for occasional time saving exceptions to making from scratch I believe. This mornings Sunday pancakes was one such occasion.... Actually these pancakes are so much higher in fibre due to the resistant starch and chick pea flour that they are suitably impressive. The sugar free maple syrup is sorbitol and sucralose amongst other things but I couldnt bring myself to add pure sugar after my 75min walk! According to my calculations I consumed a total 9g carbohydrate in my version vs around 50g in typical pancakes with syrup. Calorie wise, mine was approx 130kcal vs 250-350kcal depending on how much syrup you might add. Worth the swap and equally satisfying. If you need help planning your LCHF menu or need to know where to start DM me and we can get the ball rolling, or book online at www.dnagroup.com.au #pancake #sugarfree #lowcarbhighfat #nosugar #insulinresistance #lowcarbdiabetes #lowcarbhealthyfat #lchflifestyle #lchfdiet #diabetesdiet #lowcarbdiet #lowcarbweightloss #diabetes #lowcarblifestyle #menopause #overweight #weightlosstips #pcosdiet #lowcarbfood #lowcarbs #lowcarbliving #diabetestype2 #lowcarbaustralia #fattyliver #needtoloseweight #overweightproblems #insulin #lowcarbcooking #highbloodpressure #highcholesterol @ Tweed Heads, New South Wales

20.01.2022 Do you feel your metabolism has changed? Your metabolism in simple terms, refers to the processes going on in your body that utilise energy and nutrients. It can change naturally over time but one major factor influencing metabolic change is Insulin Resistance, often caused by overweight in the first place, but may also be a genetic trait, or affected by hormonal change. IR is when your bodys insulin receptors are not responding as well to the hormone insulin so your body ...produces extra in order to keep trying to regulate your blood sugar levels. Studies have shown high levels of insulin to be associated with inflammation, blood pressure, excess fat storage, high blood fats, even bowel polyps and changes in iron levels. Interestingly we measure blood glucose regularly but rarely do doctors test insulin. Up to 80%of the US population is reported to have some degree of insulin resistance due to the overweight stats and Australia is likely not far behind (though again, hard to determine if were not measuring). For those who have or are likely to have insulin resistance, a lower carbohydrate dietary approach may be the missing link to getting back in control of your health and this is where I can help!

18.01.2022 Instead of no-carbs I went lower carbs this morning because I havent had granola in a while. Lowest net carbs of all the cereals there - super high fibre and resistant starch.

17.01.2022 Measure body fat not body weight! This person has a BMI in the overweight category..but is not overweight. A body composition scan is a great way to determine what your body is made of and to track real progress, meaning, changes in body fat and muscle weight.... Body Mass Index (BMI) is purely a measurement of the density of your body and is your weight (kg) divided by your height squared (m). This photo is actually one of my scans - my weight & BMI post-children is higher than my previous which could be a concern. On further investigation though, it seems I carry more muscle weight than I used to. I exercise differently, plus carrying prams, small humans and all manner of bikes/tricycles all the time makes a difference! It is good to have high muscle but the trick is maintaining that whilst losing body fat at the same time. Thats where your diet comes in...And thats what my team and I do!

17.01.2022 Im not saying dont eat fruit but for those who have hyperinsulinemia (meaning you produce excess insulin in response to sugar) you need to be aware of how your body responds to it. Finding your balance with LCHF can be tricky right? Are you nailing it on your own or could you do with some expert help? Your soccer team has a coach to teach you soccer strategies, you have an accountant to guide your finances, a personal trainer helps to push you to keep going with your exerc...ise when it feels uncomfortable.

16.01.2022 If you are not metabolically healthy, the way your body processes fat, carbs, protein and fat can be altered leaving you tired, craving food or gaining weight. Even seemingly healthy, raw, paleo, vegetarian or vegan foods may be contributing to your apparent inability to lose weight. A lower carb healthy fat approach can be beneficial for managing diabetes, fatty liver, menopausal weight gain, PCOS, stubborn abdominal fat, blood lipids, blood pressure, inflammation and even... some digestive issues. It addresses one of the main metabolic problems, insulin resistance. If you would like to find out the best approach for you, schedule an appointment with me.

14.01.2022 Have you thought how another lockdown or isolation may impact your health goals? Ive been seeing many many people in clinic recently who have gained generally between 4-15kg since Covid-19 changes took effect. No more work routine; always at home amongst temptation or boredom eating, gym closed or just zero motivation. Just when you establish a good routine, more changes come into effect and the rug is pulled out from under you again.... If you can relate, you are not alone. What you do need is accountability. To yourself or to someone else to help keep you moving forwards, not backwards. If you have gained weight and gone backwards dont despair. You can still change that trend starting today. You dont even need to leave you house. Seeing a dietitian online involves either phone or Zoom consult where we can talk through your goals, your current struggles, your past dieting history, your medical history, your social situation, your current eating pattern and your physical activity level. All these factors are considered by a university trained, accredited nutrition expert and combined with scientific and evidence based recommendations to give you a step by step plan to get you moving forward. No judgement. All just based around what you already do. We are also fully set up for Medicare and private health fund claiming, even from your home so it is totally worth investing in yourself and your health. Lets get started!

14.01.2022 Gaining control of your health and weight needs to be a multi-faceted approach. It is one thing to be planning your meals appropriately. All that you gain from a good diet can all fly out the window if you are eating/drinking superfluously when feeling emotional. If youre coming unravelled by emotional eating/drinking, looking at strategies to improve your eating behaviours and thought processes around eating can help.... Eating should be enjoyable, not something that creates further negative emotions and self-loathing.

12.01.2022 You dont have to give up bread in order to eat a low carb diet. Firstly, its about the total amount of carbs you eat in one go (glycaemic load). Secondly, its about when you eat the carbs that can be important (such as around exercise)... Thirdly, if you know what you are looking for, you can easily find suitable lower carb versions (such as the breads pictured). There may be more to dietary planning than you think you know. If in doubt, dont consult google, go straight to an expert.

09.01.2022 You just cant beat a good spag bog. For me this is a comforting food and I could eat it every night! Often, these highly desired foods (or drinks!) that you feel are important to your enjoyment of life arent ones that align with the health related goals that you also place high importance on (like losing weight or improving your diabetes or fatty liver). This is where your perspective is important. Remember you always have a choice. A choice can have a Price and a Benefit.... The benefit can be feeling fulfilled, enjoying the taste, joining in, not feeling as if you are missing out. The Price could be feeling awful afterwards, not losing weight, having a high blood sugar reading, feeling bloated or having a hangover. Sometimes its a tough choice so just make sure its a conscious choice. You could always choose to make a compromise that doesnt detract from the benefit. For example, I can easily trade pasta for zucchini pasta and thats a win-win. Or I might choose to have a smaller portion of pasta and enjoy more of the bolognaise which has veggies and protein in it. You might choose to reduce your wine and save it for those times you are socialising whilst planning an alternative relaxation strategy for the other days. No one wants to be so rigid in their eating habits that there is no longer any enjoyment in life. So choose, be mindful and make sure you mindfully enjoy your meal, guilt free, either way.

08.01.2022 Easy LCHF lunch done These little frittatas are high in protein and will keep in the fridge a few days to make lunch a no brainer. Use 2-3 eggs per serve, plus any veggies you can find or need to use from the crisper drawer. ... I often fry up onion, zucchini, capsicum, ham and eggplant. Divide this amongst the muffin tray and pour in whisked eggs. Sprinkle some cheese on top and bake in a moderate oven for around 20-30 mins or until firm.

07.01.2022 4 teaspoons of sugar. In relative terms, this is how much sugar is put into your bloodstream after consuming: 1 slice of bread Or an apple Or a cup of cows milk... Or 1/2 a potato Our bodies are designed to process this sugar by producing insulin -the energy storage hormone. If you have insulin resistance it means your body is making excess insulin in order to clear the sugar out of your blood steam. Sometimes it is successful, meaning your blood sugar test looks normal (though all the insulin has led you to store the sugar as fat). Sometimes the excess insulin still is not successful at clearing the sugar from the bloodstream (pre-diabetes and diabetes). Choose low sugar foods for sure. If you think you may be insulin resistant dont forget to factor in the amount of other healthy foods that your body breaks down into sugar!

06.01.2022 After the school holidays and more indulgences than I usually would have, Im feeling like I needed a reset this weekend. I noticed feeling more lethargic and started craving foods that I know dont agree with me. Im also not wanting any joint pain to flare up. So I had a very low carb weekend and might just keep it going because thats when I feel my best.... Started with a Formulite meal replacement shake, followed by some sliced tomato with cheese and pesto, a handful of nuts (not the portion shown.That was the little boy pretending to cook a tray of potatoes) then crispy skin chicken with salad.

Not when you see the size of my salads. Excess in protein, damaging to the kidneys? Nope. And not excessive in red meat or bacon.

04.01.2022 Thinking of appropriate lower carb meals is easier when you start with a structure. Step 1: make half your meal non-starchy vegetables such as salad or cooked veggies. To keep it simple, non-starchy vegetables refers to veggies other than potato, corn or sweet potato. ... Step 2: choose your protein. Not excessive, just 1/4 of the meal so around palm sized. Red meat, chicken, fish, eggs, tofu are some examples. Step 3: the carbs refers to potato, corn, sweet potato, rice, pasta, bread, quinoa, couscous etc. A low carb meal plan would have no more than a serve in a meal but not at every meal of the day. Ideally, swap the carb for low carb alternative such as cauliflower rice, konjac rice/noodles, low carb seeded crackers, zucchini noodles, edamame pasta or simply leave it out. For a very low carb meal dont include the carb portion. Remember though its ok to include some fat.

01.01.2022 Sometimes they way our bodies handle certain foods and components of foods is not always what it should be. Some people don’t react well to peanuts, other people’s bodies don’t respond well to lactose.

Many healthy professionals discredit a lower carbohydrate approach without actually knowing enough about it to make a reasonable clinical judgement.
