Do you need to track your food when you’re in ketosis?

The short answer is yes — at least to begin with.

When you first change your diet, it’s surprisingly easy to eat more carbohydrates than you realise. Tracking helps you keep carbs low while also understanding how much protein and fat you’re actually eating.

But do you need to track forever? Absolutely not.

You just need to track until you become familiar with what your daily targets actually look like - for example:

🥑 20g carbohydrates
🥩 100g protein
🧈 100g fat

Once you understand portions and what those numbers look like on your plate, you can become much more intuitive with your food.

I use Carb Manager and recommend a simple set of kitchen scales when you’re getting started. Because if you don’t track, you often don’t realise just how much you’re actually eating.

And ketosis can bring some lovely benefits too:

✨ More stable energy
✨ Ketones as an alternative fuel for your brain
✨ BHB (beta-hydroxybutyrate) has signalling and anti-inflammatory effects
✨ Weight and visceral fat loss
✨ Less hunger and food noise
✨ A greater sense of control around food

🥒 Marrow season is almost over… and I’m genuinely sad about it!

Marrow has such a short season here in the UK, which is exactly what makes it feel so special. I look forward to it every year — especially when I can get it from Ian down at the market. ❤️

I’ve been thinking more about seasonal eating and how different our food environment would have been for our ancestors.

In summer, longer days and sunlight naturally support the growth and ripening of fruits and vegetables, so food would have been more abundant. We could eat more of these seasonal plant foods.

But as summer ended and autumn arrived, that abundance would naturally decline. Winter meant fewer fruits and vegetables and less readily available food.

From an ancestral perspective, this seasonal shift would have meant less carbohydrate availability as we moved into autumn and winter, potentially encouraging greater reliance on stored body fat and ketones for fuel.

I love the idea of reconnecting with the seasons and eating what naturally grows around us, when it grows.

And summer gives us some beautiful options:

🍓 Strawberries – vitamin C, folate, manganese & antioxidants
🌱 Asparagus – folate, vitamin K, vitamin C & potassium
🫛 Runner beans – fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K & folate
🥒 Marrow – potassium, vitamin C, B6 & magnesium

So I’ll be making the most of these last few marrows… because before we know it, they’ll be gone until next summer! 🥒❤️

Do you eat seasonally?

Body changes take consistency and patience — especially at 53. 🤍

Strength training, stretching, good nutrition and hydration all play a part.

From around our 30s, we gradually begin to lose muscle mass, and this accelerates through perimenopause and menopause. This age-related loss of muscle is known as sarcopenia.

Which is why I truly believe muscle is your currency for old age.

The more muscle and strength we build now, the more we have to draw on as we age — supporting strength, mobility, bone health, metabolism, balance and independence.

And it’s never too late to start.

If you’re in your 40s, 50s or 60s, don’t just focus on losing weight. Focus on building a body that is strong enough to carry you through the decades ahead.

Because we’re not just chasing lifespan…
we’re chasing healthspan. 💪🏼

And yes, having a great PT who teaches you how to lift safely makes a huge difference too. 💪💪

It’s not just about the weight loss… ❤️

Yes, women following a ketogenic approach can see some really impressive changes on the scales.

But honestly, the weight loss often isn’t what they talk about most.

They talk about how they feel.

✨ Waking up with more energy
✨ Brain fog lifting
✨ Sleeping more deeply and waking feeling rested
✨ Less bloating, puffiness and swelling
✨ Feeling less inflamed
✨ Clearer skin
✨ Feeling stronger in their bodies
✨ More stable energy and fewer cravings
✨ Better moods
✨ And that feeling of finally feeling like themselves again.

Because this journey isn’t just about becoming a smaller version of yourself.

It’s about feeling healthier, stronger, more energised and confident in your body.

That’s why my 8-week Keto Group starts September 15th. 🎉

I’ll be guiding you through the foundations of keto, helping you understand what to eat, how to make it work in real life, and how to create sustainable changes — with a supportive group around you.

It’s not just about the weight.
It’s about how you feel when you wake up every morning. ❤️

Why do I love a ketogenic diet? 💫

For me, it’s about so much more than weight loss.

It can help you feel like yourself again.

✨ More energy throughout the day
✨ Clearer thinking and less brain fog
✨ Less hunger and food noise
✨ Fewer cravings and better control around food
✨ Weight and visceral fat loss
✨ Less bloating and that heavy, “bleh” feeling
✨ More stable blood sugar and fewer energy crashes
✨ Ketones provide an alternative fuel for your brain
✨ Supporting a calmer inflammatory environment
✨ Feeling lighter, clearer and more in control

And perhaps my favourite benefit? The freedom that comes from not constantly thinking about food. ❤️

Why keto?

Why should you follow a ketogenic diet?

For me, it’s about so much more than weight loss.

Since adopting a ketogenic approach, I’ve experienced:

✨ Weight loss
✨ Less inflammation
✨ Less bloating and puffiness
✨ Consistent energy
✨ Better skin
✨ Mental clarity and less brain fog
✨ Ketones helping fuel my brain
✨ Better blood sugar and insulin balance

And the metabolic health piece is particularly interesting. Insulin resistance is increasingly recognised as a key driver or contributor to many chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and is also being investigated in relation to conditions such as Alzheimer’s.

But keto isn’t simply about cutting carbs and hoping for the best. You need to understand what you’re doing and why.

That’s exactly why I’m launching my 8-week Keto Group on September 15th. ❤️

Every Tuesday morning, we’ll have a live Zoom session where I’ll teach you how to:

• Understand blood sugar and insulin
• Understand leptin and metabolic health
• Get into and maintain ketosis
• Understand ketones and beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)
• Use fasting strategically
• Know what foods to eat — and what to avoid
• Track your progress and measure your results
• Build a way of eating you can actually maintain

Plus, you’ll have a private WhatsApp group for the full eight weeks, so you’re supported, guided and never left wondering what to do next.

I’ll guide you step-by-step into ketosis and, more importantly, show you how to maintain it and make keto work for you.

One of the biggest benefits of keto for me?

ZERO food noise.

Once you’ve mastered it and stay in ketosis, the constant thoughts about food can become so much quieter.

No urgency.
No distractions.
No constantly thinking about what you’re going to eat next.

You simply eat when you’re hungry — and you feel in control of what goes into your body.

And honestly? That feeling is incredibly powerful.

Especially through perimenopause, when appetite, cravings and blood sugar can sometimes feel like they’ve taken over.

That’s what I love about keto. ❤️

And if you’d like me to teach you how to do it properly, my 8-week Keto Group starts 15th September.

✨ Weekly educational Zoom session
✨ Private WhatsApp support
✨ Learn about blood sugar, insulin, leptin, ketones and fasting
✨ Learn how to get into ketosis — and maintain it
✨ Understand how to safely get in and out of ketosis
✨ Learn how to feel back in control around food

If you’re ready to take back control, DM me or comment KETO below and I’ll send you the link to join. 💬

What 3 months with a PT has taught me at 53… 💪🏼

Today was my last session of this block — and I’ve already signed up for another 3 months!

✨ Fuel your training.
I’ve experimented with fasted vs fuelled training and I’ve learned that I need to eat before I train. My go-to for a 6:15am session is a bone broth chocolate hot chocolate… because nobody wants eggs at that time! 😂

✨ Three months isn’t long enough.
If you have a goal, double the time you think it will take. Building muscle and changing your body composition takes patience.

✨ Recovery matters.
I lift heavy twice a week alongside Body Pump, Body Balance and core, but I’ve learned I need two proper rest days before my heavy sessions. Otherwise, I’m wiped out.

✨ A good PT is worth their weight in gold.
I started with a shoulder issue. We worked around it, strengthened the muscles supporting it and added stretching and mobility. My shoulder is now completely pain-free.

✨ Be kind to your body.
When I wasn’t well, we adapted the training rather than pushing through. Listen to your body.

And the biggest lesson?

Patience + consistency.

My 14-year-old son’s body can change in a month. Mine at 53 takes a little longer! 😂 But it absolutely CAN change.

So here’s to another 3 months of getting stronger, building muscle and seeing what this body can do. ❤️

It’s never too late to start.
