20.01.2022 ...of the all or nothing mindset! The idea you need to ‘stay on track’...Viewing foods as rewards or punishments...Obsession with counting calories...Ignoring your hunger pains & pushing aside the feeling of fullness when adhering to your latest diet - Do any of these sound like you! I would like to introduce the concept of to you! ...Mindful Eating is not the latest diet trend - It’s about creating:... : To allow you to see food is just, FOOD! Permitting you to eat for nourishment To eat foods which will leave you feeling satisfied, to then help balance your mood & energy : So you don’t feel guilt or shame for eating a balanced meal or foods you enjoy (even when you may over-indulge) : From emotions which fuel your habits - empowering you to eat without fear or judgement & learning to control impulsive choices ‘HEALTHY’ is not a certain body weight or size - And foods aren’t ‘good’, ‘bad’, ‘clean’ or ‘treats’...‘Healthy’ looks different on everyone!! Mindful eating is a subject I specialise in teaching at my clinic through the 28-Day Nutrition For LIfe Program. If you’re ready to get started with a routine which promotes mindful eating - Message me to have your questions answered & schedule your appointment! With love Julie #mindfuleating #nutritionist

NOW...unmute the video, put your earphones in/on, & listen to my story ...AND my purpose to help women live a healthy non-diet life free from food guilt & shame . Love Julie xxx #foodguilt #fearfood #ayrnutritionist

18.01.2022 SUGAR FREE & FAT FREE does not equal healthy As you walk down the aisles of your local supermarket you’re bombarded with options touting sugar & fat free labels, like they are your ticket to health & wellness. This clever marketing term is just that - MARKETING! When we see this wording printed across a food product we need to delve a little deeper...Has the sugar been replaced with artificial chemical sweeteners? Or perhaps the product has been highly processed to remov...e the fat & more sugar has been added to ensure the product still tastes great. To really grasp the nutritious value of the product you need to be able to read & understand both the ingredients list & nutrition label. It’s also equally important to understand that fats & sugars have their place in a BALANCED diet! I’m really passionate about educating my community on this subject as it empowers you to be able to make INFORMED choices with what you are putting into your body & how to eat a balanced diet, to then help with your overall health & wellness. If you’re wanting to learn how to make an informed choice for your health...I am here to help you - PM me to have your questions answered & book in your appointment! Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post where I will be discussing the education side of this subject! Love Julie See more

16.01.2022 Today is the 3rd & final post in the GUT HEALTH series, touching on the importance of looking after our gut health! The gut contains a substantial microbe population which plays an essential role in digestion, regulating our weight & immunity. Inadequate sleep, highly processed western diet & decreased variety of foods we are eating all may cause an imbalance in our gut microbiome, which then affects our overall health & wellbeing. ...GOOD NEWS - We can help to promo...te a healthy, balanced gut microbiome through the following: Eat the rainbow Eat prebiotic & probiotic food Reduce stress where possible Move more Get plenty of sleep What is even more fascinating is we all have our own, unique colony of microbes who have colonised our gut! We also have our own contributing lifestyle factors which can be causing us to have an imbalance within our own colony. If you are wanting to learn how to nurture your gut health an individual assessment which is specific to you is required - MESSAGE me to have your questions answered & book in your appointment!

14.01.2022 Cutting calories for weight loss & severely restricting food intake is not a long-term solution!!! In fact it’s actually having the opposite effect on your body by slowing down your metabolism & holding onto fat stores... ...This occurs because your body needs to conserve energy so your brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and nervous system can function properly, which inadvertently decreases the number of calories the body burns, & may also cause muscle loss . The ev...idence of this can be seen when we try a new fad diet, lose a lot of weight initially but then put it all back on again a few months later. My 28-DAY NUTRITION FOR LIFE PROGRAM is a great educational tool for those who are wanting to jump off the yo-yo dieting rollercoaster, & focus on a long-term solution to a healthy NON-DIET way of eating. During this program you will learn: How to transform your mindset & behaviours toward food To differentiate your body cue’s & how you react to them including how your body feels when it is full, hungry, dehydrated, tired or stressed How to find your ideal weight, the NON-DIET WAY! About nutrition education & how to properly nourish your body Instead of hoping for overnight success and opting for extreme measures, consider your path to healthy eating one that is paved with the right nutrition education & of a holistic approach. If you’re ready to take your first steps down this path & quit your restrictive relationship with food, so you can start to love eating, your life and yourself I am here for you!

08.01.2022 GO FROM CONFUSED TO INFORMED... Following on from yesterday’s post.. Labelling a food product ‘Fat Free’ or ‘Sugar Free’ does not make it a healthy option. In fact, without knowing what this product is actually made from you might be consuming something that contains no nutritional value at all! Education is the most useful tool when it comes to learning how to eat ALL food groups in moderation. It also gives you the power to make informed choices, rather ...than relying on what the marketing team at food companies tell you. I know first hand just how difficult it can be to get the correct information when it comes to food! For this reason I have compiled my three years of study, plus in-clinic practice as an Accredited Nutritionist into a program which will teach you how to: Create nutritionally balanced meals incorporating all macronutrients - carbohydrates, fats & protein Plan your meals - weekly meal planner, & carbohydrates, fats & proteins lists, & shopping list for the week to plan out your trip to the store so you’re prepared for meal preparation Understand nutrition information on food items If you’re ready to start educating & empowering yourself, feel confident about what you are consuming AND start living a healthy NON-DIET LIFE...Then I would love to have you on board my 28-Day Nutrition For Life Program Sign up today through the DIRECT link here https://www.poweroffood.com.au/28-day-nutrition-for-life-pr Or PM me for more information.

03.01.2022 GUT HEALTH Let me introduce you to prebiotic & probiotic foods! PREBIOTICS are foods which contain fibre, travel through your digestive system undigested, to then feed & encourage the growth of certain ‘good’ bacteria in the large intestine - EXAMPLES include - Brown rice, raspberries & sunflower seeds. *Please note not all fibre foods are a prebiotic. PROBIOTICS are foods which maintain good bacteria in your digestive system, support absorption of nutrients & also he...lps with your immunity, as approx. 80% of your immune cells reside within your digestive system - EXAMPLES include - Greek yogurt (not Greek-style yogurt), kombucha & apple cider vinegar (with the mother included). When both of these foods are included in your diet you are able to help create a healthy & well balanced digestive system! To start improving your gut health you can try my RASPBERRY VANILLA OVERNIGHT OATS / RICE PUFFS PUDDING recipe which includes both prebiotic & probiotic wholefoods - Your gut & taste buds are going to love it!! To create...add together oats or rice puffs, greek yoghurt, chia seeds, vanilla, milk & honey, shake together, add a few berries & soak overnight MAGIC, breakfast is served! One thing I have experienced with my clients is that every individual is UNIQUE and everyone has a different gut biome. To really get a good grasp on your gut health & see an improvement I always complete an individual assessment on each person. During these consultations, I will assess your current health & then tailor a nutritional plan based on your personal requirements. Follow this link https://www.poweroffood.com.au/consultations to book your individual assessment or MESSAGE me to have your questions answered & book in your appointment! Love Julie P.S.

02.01.2022 GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION...Today I challenge you to sit down & enjoy a piece of food you would normally restrict from your diet. Despite what the advertising companies may tell you, there is no such thing as ‘GOOD or BAD’ food...It’s time to stop feeling super proud or ashamed about every single food choice you’re making. Every food is ok in moderation! If we are nourishing our body with mostly wholefoods everyday there is no need to feel guilty about occasionally enjoying... the foods we love. Think about what foods you are currently restricting from your diet Is it a piece of cake? A glass of wine? Whatever it might be, I want you to yourself permission to ENJOY a serving of this GUILT FREE today . Understandably, this is easier said than done! If you are thinking to yourself, ‘I can’t enjoy that piece of chocolate today as it will undo all my hard work’ or ‘I can’t just eat one serving as I will then eat the whole thing’. It might be time to seek help with your food moderation mindset. My 28 Day Nutrition For Life Program will help you transform your mindset & behaviors towards food, allowing you to find the balance of eating whole, nutritious foods as well as the foods you LOVE TO EAT! Sign up for the program today here https://www.poweroffood.com.au/28-day-nutrition-for-life-pr OR send me a message to schedule a complimentary 15 minute call to see if this program is right for you. Much love Julie

02.01.2022 GUT HEALTH PART 2 Last week we spoke about the importance of prebiotic & probiotic foods in order to maintain a healthy gut biome. This week we will be touching on the Gut-Brain Connection & the importance of managing stress to help maintain optimal gut health, to then effectively help with a healthy state of mind. The gut is often referred to as the ‘second brain’! In fact, it is constantly talking to our brain via the vagus nerve - And the gut also produces over 90% ...of the body’s serotonin which is known as our HAPPY hormone (enhances mood, appetite, digestion, sleep, memory), this is why it is so important we nurture our gut health. Have you ever noticed when you are under stress that your sleep is disrupted, you might be more forgetful, you might lose your appetite & you’re not in a great mood? Not only is this due to stress having a negative effect on our gut bacteria, it is also because when we are stressed our body switches off the parasympathetic nervous system ‘rest and digest’ response & activates the sympathetic nervous system ‘fight or flight’ response. With the combination of these two stress responses our happy hormone production is disrupted! So how can we switch back in ‘rest and digest’ & help our body to produce serotonin? Some effective techniques you can try are: Gargling Singing Slow or deep breathing Whilst the stress response is a biological process that your body performs, this can manifest with different symptoms in each person. We also need to remember that every individual is unique & everyone has a different gut microbiome. For a more specific assessment which is correct for you, an individual consultation is required - MESSAGE me to have your questions answered & book in your appointment! Love Julie See more
