    #348: As A Dietitian, Here Are Things You Need To Stop Believing!

    There are so many things in the nutrition space that we believe, have believed, and will believe in the future. And unfortunately there are a good chunk of these that will be simply untrue or misconstrued for clicks and fear. That is where a Dietitian can come in. I want to help clear the air for some common beliefs around food and fitness and give you some insights into things I wish you would stop believing for the sake of your progress and as well as sanity.  In this episode, I go through a list of some common nutrition misconceptions you need to stop believing.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #347: Maintenance = Progress?! Let me explain.

    Did you know that I believe that maintenance can and sometimes should be seen and considered as progress? Not crazy talk. Real talk. Something I explain and incorporate into my client’s programming too, which helps give a much more realistic, sustainable and human approach to nutrition goals and journeys.  In this episode, I explain how and why maintenance can be seen as progress in the right circumstances.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    What happens when you have 2 nutrition goals you need to juggle? Can it be done? What do you need to know? Let’s address some of that.

    #345: The Delay - A Last Quarter Mindset Block

    There is a particular mindset that impacts many a people focusing on their nutrition, health, and fitness around the end of the year. The final quarter of the year mindset. What I call The Delay.

    #344: Clarifying the Protein Game: Protein Targets vs. Protein Food Amounts

    Does talking about protein amounts confuse you? Do you find yourself wondering what it means when you are told you need to be eating XYZ amount of protein in grams? Well, this one is for you. I realised that there was sometimes a bit of confusion around the dialogue around protein and how much protein one needs to eat. So what do we as Dietitian’s generally mean when we say you should be eating X amount of protein? In this episode, I breakdown the protein game and explain the differences and nuances of protein targets, total needs, food amounts, and protein content of food.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!

    #343: The High Protein Food Marketing “Trap” - My Dietitian Take

    You walk into the supermarket and left, right, and centre… No matter where you look you see “protein this, and protein that”. Safe to safe the whole protein train has gotten out of hand, even in my Dietitian opinion as someone who is very pro-protein. Does everything really need a protein version?  Feel overwhelming getting a sense of the food supply these days? Well, you are not alone and I want to clear things up.  Let’s chat food marketing and protein craziness! In this episode, I explain why you need to take a step back and pick and choose your focus around protein foods and why going back to basics and simplicity may be just want the Dietitian ordered.  DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualised advice for you!
