25.01.2022 What do you think is Mindful Eating? . . Mindful eating is basically being aware. .... As I Dietitian I usually suggest my clients: 1. Enjoy the moment with your loved ones. 2. Be accepting and non judgemental of what you eat. 3. Savour the taste - I believe it all about choosing and loving what you are eating. 4. Lastly listen to your body! Ask yourself if you are satisfied? . . . #mindfulness #lovingfood #satisfying #beaccepting #beaware #mindfuleating See more

19.01.2022 Going on a road trip this silly season? What do you pack for snacks in the car? I pack a variety of natures lollies - FRUIT! Packed with Vitamin C, Vitamin B and fibre. ... Being prepared with food and mindful when eating is the key to keep your health goals in order through the silly season! #sillyseason #fruit #healthysnacks #travelingdietitian #registereddietitian #healthyeating #mindfuleating

17.01.2022 #latergram Easter was so busy at this household with school holidays and ANZAC break. Thank you to @thermobysarah by doing a yum demo! Cant wait for #hotcrossbuns 2020!

17.01.2022 Awesome visual! Which one would you choose? The burrito... considered a healthy option but has more calories than a Big Mac meal! The calories are coming from the wrap bread, rice, beans, cheese, tiny amount of protein and sour cream! It has limited vegetables and protein...not enough for a lunch or a dinner portions ... The salad bowl...still yummy, full of vegetables, protein and carbs from bean! This is what I would go for! Much more balanced. You can hit it with flavour by adding chilli, coriander and an avocado! My Pick - the Salad Bowl When eating out ... think of the bigger picture. And eat like a Rainbow thanks to @collegenutritionist #healthyeating #foodfacts #eattherainbow #saladforthewin

17.01.2022 This Valentines Day enjoy eating Red - Fruit and Vegetables! Red fruit and vegetables are an excellent source of 1. Lycopene - which is protective against prostate cancer 2. Vitamin A - helps your eyesight ... 3. Fibre and Prebiotics both very important for gut health 4. Vitamin C - helps with out immunity These natural foods are excellent for Heart Health Australian Guidelines suggest - 2 serves of fruit / day - 1 serve is equal to 1 medium size fruit or 1/2 cup cut up fruit 5 serves of vegetables/ day - 1 serve equals 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw Are you getting enough? I would love to hear how your eat your red vegetables and fruit. #happyvalentinesday #foodfacts #lovered #hearthealth #dietitian #redfruits #redvegetables

14.01.2022 Weekend vibes!! #longweekend #queensbirthdayweekend #staysafe

13.01.2022 What do you think? I honestly love this pic > for 3 reasons! . 1. Simply shows that avoiding carbohydrates doesnt make your meal healthy. Personally I find it will only lead to snacking after your meal which would be high in saturated fats, sugar and energy! ... 2. Carbohydrates are a part of a balanced meal 3. Avoiding a food group is not sustainable and honestly not necessary. . Including Protein, Carbohydrates and Vegetables are an important part of healthy eating! Thank you @drclaudiatfelty for sharing this picture! #healthyeating #foodfacts #rdeats #carbsarelife #balanceddiet #eatingeverything #carbsaregood

13.01.2022 Happy New Year 2019! I am loving this post to kick of the New Year! January is the month when most people start a detox or a fad but we forget to think that our bodies will naturally detox! Our liver and kidneys are designed to flush the toxins naturally. . .... No Diets Needed! . . Drinking water preferably 8 cups a day is all you need. Save some money in 2019 and stay away for special teas, cleanses, fads and diets. If you want the right advice see an Accredited Practicing Dietitian. Thank you @life.cycle.wellness for posting a fab pic. I couldnt have said better myself! . .

11.01.2022 One week to go! . I try telling my clients that this time of the year is about enjoying food with family and friends and celebrating another year of Ups and Down! . Your health goal shouldnt be to overindulge or be restrictive. ... . Instead enjoy eating your favourite food but in a Mindful way. . #mindfulness #mindfuleating #merrychristmas #holidayseason #havingfun #celebrate See more

11.01.2022 My latest SBS Punjabi radio interview!

11.01.2022 Today I attended a beautiful breakfast at the Parliament House Sydney hosted by @nutritionaustralia for #nationalnutritionweek2019. We raised awareness about healthy eating and increasing our vegetables intake! A few facts I learnt today: 1. Only 4% of Australia get the recommended 5 serves of vegetables per day - Try for 5 vegetables per day! 2. Between 20-30 years of age is when we put on the most weight in our lifetime 3. Alcohol is a bigger problem than we think! ... So what can we do as Dietitians - raise awareness and advocate for change! Thank you to our lovely politicians for also sharing their stories!

11.01.2022 Smoked salmon (with pepper), crunchy salad mix and fresh herbs. 30 seconds salad! #eatyourvegetables #omega3 #quicklunch #yummy

07.01.2022 Happy New Year 2021 to my dear followers! You must be rethinking new year health goals already by now. Healthy eating isn’t just about the perfect weight, it’s about how we feel overall, our skin, our hair, our teeth...so so much more! It’s about being kind and true to yourself. Make your goals SMART. S - specific ... M - measurable A - attainable R - realistic or relevant T - time based . . . For example my professional goal - I would love to see my page have over 200 followers by end of the year, by posting at least once a week! . . . Health goal - Maintain my current health by eating well and being active (30 minutes /day) at least 80% of the time (5 out of 7 days). . . . Share your goals! Big or small! . #goalsetting #smartgoals #dearfollowers #hny2021 See more

06.01.2022 Our expectations vs reality! . I find start of the year our motivation is the highest and so are the expectation to do everything, but unfortunately sometimes this can be unrealistic. . Being healthy is a long term goal. ... Recipe to success is to have 1. A focus area 2. A Realistic goal And 3. It is important to value the progress you have made. . In my practice My Specialist Dietitian my main point of difference is to allow the clients to have a focus. It is much easier to be successful when we set a realistic goal, realistic time frame and value the progress. More info in my Bio . Success isnt just losing weight, it is about being healthy and most importantly HAPPY.

03.01.2022 I was in clinic today and there was a theme with all my clients. - Which is the best oil for cooking? What is the best fat to include in my food? . Thanks to the #thesavvydietitian this pictorial is an excellent summary! . The left column has the unsaturated fats - POLY & MONO. These are the better fats, cardio protective, cholesterol lowering, help with mood and hormones. ... . To break down further POLY unsaturated fats can also help improve your good cholesterol and are essential fats for our skin and hair. . MONO unsaturated can help lower risk of chronic disease and Alzheimers Disease. . Unfortunately the column on the right - Saturated Fats are the unhealthy, undesirable fats. Even though the media loves to promote butter, coconut, lard, animal fats. Evidence shows these fats are linked to chronic disease and obesity. . Overall - FAT = FAT!! Good fats should also be consumed in moderation and saturated fats should be limited! . I personally love to cook with sunflower oil! I use olive oil in my salad dressing! And I love avocado on my bread. And like most of you I enjoy my occasional chocolate and butter on my Dhal . Live healthy! Eat everything in moderation . #rdeats #unsaturatedfat #goodfats #loveeating #foodfacts #saturatedfat #oliveoil #avocadotoast #darkchocolate #sunfloweroil See more

02.01.2022 Personally I find the hand to be an excellent tool to help measure out meal portions. Your hand is your personal guide to how much you should be plating at each meal! Carbohydrates- are the size of your fist ... Protein - is your palm size Vegetables- is your full hand or infinity (Australian guidelines suggests 5 serve, where 1 serve is 1 cup salad or 1/2 cup cooked) Fats - size of your thumb Exceeding these portions will result in gradual weight gain however eating the right portion will assist in maintaining/ losing weight. USE YOUR ! Thank you @minorityfitness #useyourhands #knowyourportions #eatingright #foodfacts #dietitian #portioncontrol #mondayfacts #starttheweekright

02.01.2022 I am going to be doing series of news this month! Evidence based, easy to understand.. Would love to hear your feedback! Here is my first one! Low Carb diets linked to Higher rate of Atrial Fibrillation (a-fib) or Heart Rhythm Disorder - read the article in Bio... . . Evidence from American Heart Association has shown that limiting carbohydrates to extreme (Paleo, Keto, Atkins) is linked to a-fib. . Best to eat good quality whole grain carbohydrates like grainy bread, pasta, basmati rice in your day to day eating. . #eatcarbs #everythinginmoderation #heartfacts #hearthealth See more
