  • #176: The Menstrual Cycle and Dieting - What You May NOT Know

    Female athletes not only have to contend with their competition and the complexities of sports nutrition strategy and fuelling principles…

    They also have to take into consideration their menstrual cycle health and the hormone part of the equation when it comes to assessing their progress and better understanding their body when training and dieting with intent. 

    In my time as a Sports Dietitian, I have found out that unfortunately too little time has been provided by health professionals to helo their female clients understand the complexities of menstruation when it comes to considerations relating to exercise performance and dieting contexts. 

    That is why I wanted to reveal the potential considerations and outcomes you may experience with your nutrition across the menstrual cycle. 

    The aim is for you to be able to better intercept your progress, results, and understand how your body operates beyond just “movement and eating basics”. 

    In this episode, I share:

    • The menstrual cycle 101
    • Why is menstrual health pivotal for female athletes? 
    • Exploring the potential nutrition considerations across the mentrual cycle (what changes occur and how do they impact you?)

    Hope you enjoy!

  • #174: Post Holiday Weight Gain - 3 Possible Reasons Why That Aren’t Related To Bodyfat Increase

    There is a good chance that at least once in your life you have found yourself looking at the scale after a holiday or break and thought to yourself…”why did I gain weight?”

    Sometimes the reason is obvious but other times it is less clear as to why the weight gain occurred. This can leave you feeling frustrated and confused.

    Sound familiar?

    As a Dietitian and Nutritionist, I have seen time and time again how people come back after the holidays a bit heavier than they wanted to be, and help them get back on track.

    Part of this is interpreting the weight change properly and not just automatically freaking out and believing you have gained body fat when the reality might actually be a lil different. 

    In this episode, I share:

    • Post Holiday Weight Gain Blues (where many dieters find themselves)
    • How much does it take to gain 1 kg of bodyfat (the simple math revealed)
    • 3 Possible reasons why you gained weight after a holiday (that are not related to gaining bodyfat)

    Hope you enjoy!

  • #173: Travel Nutrition Tips: How To Stay On Track (Without Missing Out On Culinary Adventuring)

    Travel is one of life's pleasures. So is food. However, what is one to do when both of these converge together while you are working on some nutrition goals?

    The fact of the matter is that when we travel, our food game changes and we are likely also to be wanting to complement our literal adventure with some culinary adventures as well.

    However, this does not need to mean you need to fall completely off track nor does it mean you can’t enjoy your holiday and all the foods that come with it.

    As a fellow travel enthusiast and long-standing food lover…I have a bit of know-how and experience with this tango myself. Plus given that tomorrow I jet off to Japan for my long-awaited trip, this episode seems fitting. 

    In this episode, I share:

    • The difficulties of travel nutrition (why it can be overwhelming for some)
    • Should you put your goals on pause? (the truth)
    • My tips on how to stay on track while traveling (and still enjoying yummy foods)

    Hope you enjoy!

  • #171: 5 Diet Adjustments To Cut Calories (Without Counting Calories)

    Calories are king when it comes to body composition change.

    Whether you are trying to lose weight or build some muscle mass, calories will be the driving factor to determine how you go and how successfully you get results.

    Specifically, for fat loss you need a calorie deficit which means cutting calories consistently. To help you with this, I wanted to share some easy diet adjustments that will cut calories without the need to specifically count them.

    Think of it as some low-hanging fruits of fat loss I want you to consider picking at if you want to get some easy wins to kick off your journey (or if you don’t want to count calories at the moment). 

    In this episode, I share:

    • Fat loss and calories 101
    • 5 diet adjustments to cut calories quickly

  • #170: Why motivation is NOT enough to help you succeed with your nutrition plan/diet

    We all grow up hearing about how we need to be motivated to do XYZ. That motivation is the driving force behind change and that those who succeed are “more motivated” than others.

    What if I told you this is false and more so a facade than an actual real truth and strategy?

    Especially when it comes to your health and nutrition…

    The truth is that motivation is NOT ENOUGH! You need something more…so what is this one thing?

    In this episode, I share:

    • The Motivation Conundrum 
    • Why motivation is not enough (common mistake)
    • What you need to leverage instead (the real difference maker)

    Hope you enjoy!
