Am I eating too much protein to lose weight? That’s what a friend asked me last month, over coffee in Sydney.

She’s in perimenopause and her doctor told her she needed more protein or she’d lose muscle mass.

So she’d been forcing down 120 grams a day. Sick of roast chicken. Sick of the whole thing.

And her weight? Kept going up.

Clothes stopped fitting.

She felt terrible.

So here’s what I told my friend…

This isn’t just about protein. It’s a skill for all food.

I want to stop mindless eating — that’s the exact thought I had last night, standing in my kitchen with a handful of macadamias I don’t even remember picking up.

My Irishman had left the jar out after breakfast. Next thing I know, macadamias are in my mouth. Then I’m going back for more.

And I catch myself thinking, “Whoa, what am I doing?”

This used to be me all the time. Before I learned to listen to my body, I’d spend whole afternoons in the kitchen, picking.

Grabbing random bites here, there, everywhere.

These days it’s rare. But it still creeps back in… which is exactly why I want to talk about it.

Having support around this makes such a difference. If that sounds good to you, come and join us in the Naturally Healthy Club.

It’s my six-month group coaching program, where you learn to listen to your body and build your own simple, doable process to eat more intentionally.

You’ll become a naturally healthy person who eats what you want and feels good in your clothes.

So you reach your ideal weight, with ease and joy. No rules. No counting.

For years, Sandra avoided mirrors.

She dreaded clothes shopping.

And she’s not in many photos with her own kids growing up — because she couldn’t bear to be in front of a camera.

Within twelve months of joining Naturally Healthy Club, all of that changed.

Sandra can look in the mirror now.

She goes clothes shopping without dread.

And she’s done it while still travelling the world and eating the food she loves.

Here’s how she did it.

Sandra spent decades believing her body and her love of travel, food and family life were at odds with ever feeling calm around food.

She was wrong. It took less than twelve months to prove it to herself.

She put it best herself: “If I can do it, anybody else can, because I had some major issues there.”

If any part of her story sounds familiar — the Naturally Healthy Club is where that changes.

Not through another restrictive plan, but through rebuilding your relationship with food and your body, for good.

Don’t do what Sandra almost did and wait another six months to find out.

Mary had been reading my recipes and following my content for 14 years before she ever joined the Naturally Healthy Club. Read on to discover how to eat cake and lose weight like Mary did.

What struck me most wasn’t how long she’d been around — it was how much has shifted for her since she actually joined.

Not just her weight. The whole relationship.

Here’s the bit that stopped me in my tracks.

Mary told me that friends have started noticing she’s lost weight — at the exact same moments they watch her say yes to something tasty instead of turning it down.

That contradiction is the whole story. Keep reading and you’ll see exactly how she got there.

Mary spent years thinking she just needed more willpower, more rules, more restriction.

What actually changed things was learning to trust herself — with the right framework, the right community, and permission to experiment instead of white-knuckle.

If any part of Mary’s “before” sounds like your today, I’d love to show you what’s possible on the other side.

Recently when I surveyed Stonesoup readers the same theme kept coming up, over and over. You lose the weight. Then you gain it back. Then you lose it again. So today I want to talk about how to stop losing and regaining the same weight, especially if you’re a food lover like me.

If you’d like to learn to actually listen to your body, properly, I’d love you to join me in the Naturally Healthy Club.

I say properly because the first time I heard about intuitive eating, I tried it and it did not go well. There’s real nuance to it.

It’s a group coaching program, six months, slow and gentle.

No 30 day challenge, no pressure.

We work on the habits and the identity shift too, so you stop seeing yourself as someone who yo-yos, and start seeing yourself as someone who is naturally healthy.

Someone who travels, eats out, enjoys her food, without it being a problem for her weight.

We open twice a year and often sell out, so get on the wait list and you’ll be the first to know when doors open.

If you’ve ever borrowed another diet book from the library, promised yourself “this time it’ll stick,” and quietly known it wouldn’t — Helen’s story is for you.

Before joining the Naturally Healthy Club, Helen had tried it all: calorie counting, weighing food, goodfood-bad-food rules, follow-this-plan programs.

None of it lasted.

Six months after joining, she’d lost 20 pounds, healed her relationship with her body, and changed the way she talks to her grandchildren about food.

Here’s her story.

If you want to get to your goal weight with ease and joy…

If you’re trying to stop weekend weight gain, you’ll know this loop.

On weekends, I overindulge. Monday morning the scale’s up. Then it goes back down. Round and round.

For me, because I just want to maintain my weight, I don’t mind the rhythm.

But if you’re after a weight loss trajectory, that weekly bump can keep you stuck for good.

So this week, we’re looking at why why weekend weight gain happens and how to interrupt it.

TURN YOUR CURRENT WEEKEND TREATS INTO A POUND LOST…

Interrupt the pattern that’s undoing your progress

Join my 3 tiny habit flip to maintain or lose a pound over the weekend, without counting, giving up treats, or feeling deprived socially.

So your clothes fit better and staying active as you age is easier.

I have a goal to be happy active and healthy until I’m 122. So today I want to share the anti aging foods I eat most days to help me get there. And because they help me look and feel good as I age.

Then check out my new workshop, 7 Tiny Habits for Natural Vitality.

If you’re searching for how to drink less without quitting, I have good news!

You don’t have to choose between boring sober and messy out of control.

There’s a whole middle ground. And I live there.

I’m a former winemaker.

I still love wine.

And I’ve gone from drinking more than I wanted to one or two glasses a week.

Not because I’m being good.

But because that’s genuinely all I want now.

Before I share the secret to how I achieved this truly miraculous change, let’s first look at why drinking less is an excellent idea…

If you’d like support putting this into practice I’d love you to join the Secret Society of Intentional Boozehounds.

It’s a private weekly group, runs over six months, and you’ll build the skill of drinking less without missing out on any of the fun.
