Have you started to feel spring in the air yet?
Here in Melbourne we are starting to feel a whiff of it!
Here's to a season of new beginnings and the start of habits that last the distance.

There is a recipe for this low carb chicken burger on my website.

Thanks so much to my new followers and hello to everyone who has been here for a while!

Do you eat pretty well — but still feel like something's not quite working?

I'm a Melbourne-based nutrition writer (graduate degree in human nutrition, ten years writing about food and eating) and I offer a food diary audit: you keep a simple record of everything you eat for 7 days, and I send you back a personalised written review — what your week of eating is actually showing, where the gaps are, and the two or three changes that would make the biggest difference for you specifically.

No judgement, no diet plan, no lecture. Just an honest, informed look at what you're really eating — which most of us have never had.

I have 4 spots available at an early-bird price in return for feedback and a testimonial.

Comment below or send me a message to grab one.

Let me know if you have any ideas!! I am thinking something (like) this: (maybe)

Maybe with some olives, , , and baked potatoes. . What DO YOU THINK??

Slow cooker Mediterranean salmon is a fool-proof & flavorful recipe that produces perfectly cooked salmon. Salmon, tomatoes, bell pepper, and fresh herbs cook together in this healthy seafood dish. Instructions

Just polished off a cup of banana cake. It was inspired by amazing baking skills! We go NUTS for her pavlova and brownies (and more things besides!)

I am so happy. I am finally working in nutrition!
It has become more than a hobby or a cherished interest.
It is becoming a business now. 🙃 🌱 🥗
Yay!!

Are you still eating the classic cereal, fruit and yoghurt for breakfast?

The problem with that particular style of breakfast is that it is mostly a combination of different types of sugars. And it will lead to a large spike in your blood sugar.

I plan to talk about why blood sugar spikes are particularly bad for your health some other time, but if you are already aware of the dangers of repeated blood sugar spikes (and crashes), then you might want to switch to a savoury breakfast.

Here is a recipe and some more details about eating protein and fibre for breakfast:

There is a recipe that I have been keen to get to you, because it is going to leave my favour and high rotation in...
