Do you find yourself constantly snacking or thinki

Do you find yourself constantly snacking or thinking about food between meals?
Always needing that something extra afterwards?
YES?

Then looking at the satiety & satisfaction of your meals is the priority here ✅

Feeling satiated is different to feeling physically full. This is important because satiation is that mental feeling of "I'm good" and then being able to go at least a few hours without being fixated on food or needing to raid the kitchen for a snack.

SIDE NOTE: Many people feel super full (bloated and uncomfortable) after meals, yet are still thinking about food. This is very common when eating meals filled with vegetables, greens & other high fibre, high volume, but low calorie foods.

HOW to make meals more satiating:

1. Make sure you are actually eating enough at meal times - the purpose of meals is to leave you feeling full and satisfied, not needing more food.

2. Aim for good macronutrient balance in your meals - a source of protein, complex carbs, a good amount of healthy fats as well as your veggies.

3. Make sure your food actually tastes GOOD! Use hearbs and spices, add salt and pepper, try different cooking methods and recipes, add some yumminess and texture (nuts/seeds, dressing, cheese etc.). No one feels satisfied with boring and bland food.

4. Eat mindfully - yes i know it sounds "woo woo" but it can be as simple as putting away your phone or not sitting at your desk. Remove as many distractions as possible and enjoy your food whilst you eat it.

Life is good when you arent constantly thinking about food or the next meal/snack!!!

I think the favourite part of my job is helping people figure out what is going on for them.
My work isn't lightbulb moments every minute by any means, but when something clicks with someone and they understand themselves a little bit better.

It really is fulfilling 😊❤

Training together.
Accountability, healthy competition and laughs that go along with 60sec rounds (which sometimes go for a few seconds longer 🙊)

Get stronger. Get fitter.

WEIGHT LOSS ⭐⭐⭐ I often stray away from wei

WEIGHT LOSS ⭐⭐⭐

I often stray away from weight loss posts here as i know it's a sensitive and vulnerable topic for many, also there is SO MUCH more to health than just weighing less.

In saying that, i know many of you DO have the goal of shedding some weight. Which, if done in a healthy way, not compromising your physical OR mental health is also fine. So lets chat!

REMEMBER: eating as little as possible isnt the answer here!!

Eating too few calories only impacts your body in negative ways, causing it to make "energy saving" adaptations to hold onto as much energy as possible. Such as: muscle mass losses, feeling low in mood and energy, sleeping poorly, then training performance and recovery will suffer. Sounds fun right? (*no)

THE KEY: eating as much as possible. Wait, WHAT?

Stay with me.

1. Lose weight slowly and steadily with a slight energy deficit. That means eating 2-300 calories less than your needs (based on your individual size, activity level, age etc.). And no, you dont have to count calories, this can look like slightly smaller portion or swapping some foods for lower energy foods.

2. WEIGHT TRAIN. I cannot emphasise how important this step is. Preserving your muscle tissue means we aren't losing the weight from muscle. Plus, it's amazing for your overall health, bone density, metabolic function, and helping you look banging :)

3. Meet your protein requirements. Aiming for no less than 1.5g per kg of bodyweight per day. Ideally spread over all meals.

4. SLEEP. Get enough of it. Super important for muscle retention and building, performance, mood, food choices, productivity, sanity....just everything!

AND be nice to yourself! To make it healthy and sustainable, it will take time. If you make a less than ideal choice, its ok, its only food, the sun will still rise tomorrow and you have the opportunity to make the next choice your best choice. You also don't have to deprive yourself, that never lasts.

AND AND as always, i recommend working with a nutrition professional to ensure you're meeting all your needs 🙋‍♀️
