Portion sizes can be confusing but getting them right doesn’t have to be complicated.

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we focus on simple, practical strategies to help you manage portions without strict rules or constant measuring.

Here are a few easy ways to get started:

1. Use your hand as a guide
A quick and practical way to balance meals:
• Protein = palm sized
• Carbohydrates = cupped hand
• Vegetables = two handfuls
• Fats = thumb size

2. Build a balanced plate
Aim for:
• Half your plate = vegetables
• Quarter = protein
• Quarter = carbohydrates
This helps support energy, fullness, and overall nutrition.

3. Slow down and listen to your body
Eating slowly allows your body time to recognise when you’re full, helping prevent overeating without restriction.

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we provide personalised, practical nutrition support

Eating well doesn’t have to be expensive. With a few simple strategies, you can support your health while keeping your grocery bill under control.

Here are 3 practical, evidence-based tips:
1. Choose seasonal produce
Fruit and vegetables that are in season are often more affordable, fresher, and more nutritious. In winter, options like carrots, pumpkin, apples, and leafy greens are budget-friendly and versatile.

2. Choose canned and frozen fruit & veg
Frozen vegetables and canned options (like beans, lentils, and fish) are:
• Just as nutritious as fresh
• Often cheaper
• Long-lasting, helping reduce food waste

3. Plan simple, balanced meals
You don’t need complicated recipes to eat well. Build meals around:
• A quality carbohydrate (rice, pasta, potatoes)
• A protein source (eggs, legumes, tinned fish, lean meats)
• Plenty of vegetables
Planning ahead can help reduce impulse buying and keep costs down.

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we provide practical, affordable, evidence-based nutrition support tailored to real life

Osteoporosis can impact bone strength, mobility, and independence but the right nutrition support can make a real difference.

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we provide evidence-based, practical nutrition strategies to help manage osteoporosis and support overall health.

Here’s how we help:
Optimising calcium intake
We ensure you’re getting enough calcium through food choices and, where appropriate, supplements, supporting bone strength and reducing fracture risk.

Vitamin D support
Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption. We guide safe ways to maintain adequate levels through diet, sun exposure, and supplementation if needed.

Protein for muscle and bone health
Adequate protein intake helps maintain muscle mass, which supports balance, strength, and reduces fall risk.

Maintaining a healthy weight
Unintentional weight loss can increase fracture risk. We help create balanced nutrition plans to support strength and energy.

Simple changes can make a big impact when it comes to bone health.

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 – “𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁”
Carbohydrates often get blamed for weight gain but the science tells a different story.

The truth: Carbs don’t automatically lead to weight gain. Like all nutrients, it’s your overall intake, balance and lifestyle that matter most.

Here’s the evidence to debunk this myth:
Carbs are your body’s main fuel source
They provide essential energy for your brain, muscles and daily functioning. Cutting carbs too low can lead to fatigue, poor concentration, and low mood.

Rapid weight loss on low-carb diets is mostly water
When you eat carbohydrates, they are stored as glycogen in your body.
Each 1g of glycogen is stored with around 3–4g of water.
When carbs are reduced, your body uses these glycogen stores and releases the attached water, leading to a quick drop on the scale. This is not the same as fat loss, which is why weight can stabilise or rebound once normal eating resumes.

Not all carbs are equal
The quality of carbohydrates matters most. Focus on:
• Wholegrains (oats, brown rice, wholemeal bread)
• Fruits and vegetables
• Legumes (beans, lentils)
These provide fibre, vitamins, and support gut health, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

The bottom line
You can absolutely lose weight while including carbohydrates. The key is choosing quality sources, managing portion sizes, and maintaining a balanced approach without unnecessary restriction.

At My NutriHealth Tasmania, we provide practical, evidence-based nutrition support tailored to you.
