How many diets have you tried?

Low fat. Low carb. Slimming clubs. Counting calories. Detoxes. Meal replacements. Hormone gummies. Green powders. 🤯

No wonder so many women feel exhausted and confused around food.

As nutritional therapists, we’ve spent years working with women who thought they just needed more willpower or another plan.

But here’s what we’ve learned…

Diet culture has taught women to fight their bodies instead of understand them.

And honestly? Most women don’t need another diet.

They need to understand the body they’re living in.

Because one size doesn’t fit all.

What works brilliantly for one woman can leave another feeling tired, hungry, bloated and frustrated.

That’s why we created Breaking Fads.

No calorie counting.
No food guilt.
No magic products.

Just real food, real science and learning what works for YOUR bodytype.

MATCHA LATTE DRINKS… ARE THEY ACTUALLY HEALTHY? 🍵

Matcha itself can be a fantastic addition to your diet.

It’s rich in antioxidants, contains L-theanine for calm focus, and can provide a steadier energy boost than coffee.

But here’s the catch…

Not all matcha drinks are created equal.

Many ready-to-drink versions contain:
❌ Added sugars
❌ Sweeteners
❌ Flavourings
❌ Very little actual matcha

Some are closer to a flavoured milkshake than a traditional matcha tea.

Before you buy, flip the can over and check:

✔ How much matcha is actually in it?
✔ What’s on the ingredients list?
✔ Is sugar one of the first ingredients?
✔ Are you buying matcha… or a green-coloured dessert?

At Breaking Fads, we’re always more interested in what’s IN the food than what’s written on the front of the packet.

Have you tried one of these?

👇 Tell us your favourite matcha drink (or your worst one!).

🍔 Who said veggie burgers have to be boring?

These beauties are packed with sweet potato, chickpeas, spinach, onion, herbs, spices and plenty of flavour. Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle, and so satisfying you won’t miss the meat.

✨ Make them as big burgers for dinner
✨ Roll them into burger bites for lunchboxes or snacks
✨ Batch cook and freeze for busy days
✨ Family-friendly and budget-friendly

Because healthy food shouldn’t taste like a punishment. 😉

Drop a 🍔 in the comments and we’ll send you the recipe!

Matcha really watched us take a 1,000-year-old wellness ritual and turn it into a neon green milkshake with 47 pumps of syrup and candy clouds on top. 😭🍵

What the hell… the monks did not meditate on mountains for this.

Matcha is meant to support calm energy, focus, antioxidants and balance.
Not send you into orbit with enough sugar to power a toddler’s birthday party.

We’re out here calling it “wellness” because it’s green… while drinking dessert in activewear. 💚

Can we please stop traumatising healthy foods? 😂

Ignore my chipped nail polish 💅 look at the food 👀
Start your day with food that fuels and you’ll find the rest of the day so much easier!

I love a good bowl
Loads of fruit and coconut yoghurt, then a sprinkle of granola and nut butter.
What was you’re brekkie this morning, come on give us some inspo 🥣

Poor cortisol.
Just out here trying to keep you alive… and somehow became the villain of wellness TikTok. 😭

Cortisol is not “bad”.
You actually need it to wake up, think clearly, respond to stress, exercise, work, parent tiny humans and survive modern life.

The problem?
We’ve turned “fight or flight” into a full-time personality.

Coffee on an empty stomach.
Running on 5 hours sleep.
Stress scrolling at midnight.
Calling burnout “being productive”.
Then blaming cortisol for doing its job. 💀

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s protective.
We’re just pushing the system like it’s got unlimited battery life.

Maybe the goal isn’t to “eliminate cortisol”…
Maybe it’s to stop living like we’re being chased by a bear 24/7. 🐻

DO YOU NEED MORE COLOUR IN YOUR LIFE? 🌈🍅🥭🥬

Not in your wardrobe.
Not in your highlighter collection.
On your plate. 👀

Somewhere along the way, “healthy eating” became beige protein bars, powder in a shaker cup and sad little lettuce leaves.

Meanwhile, the healthiest traditional diets around the world are bursting with COLOUR. 🇮🇳🌶️🇲🇽🥑🇹🇭🍋🇲🇦🫒

Think:
✨ Rich tomato sauces
✨ Fresh herbs and spices
✨ Crunchy rainbow salads
✨ Warming curries
✨ Olive oil, garlic, ginger, turmeric
✨ Mango, berries, aubergine, courgette, beetroot, peppers
✨ Big bowls of real food that actually taste GOOD

Your body LOVES variety.
Different colours = different nutrients, antioxidants, fibres and plant compounds that support:
✔️ Energy
✔️ Hormones
✔️ Gut health
✔️ Skin
✔️ Mood
✔️ Weight balance

And honestly? Life is too short for boring “diet food”.

The diet industry made healthy eating feel restrictive.
But real wellness looks like colour, flavour, culture, spice and joy. ❤️

This week, challenge yourself to eat MORE colour, not less food.

🧡 Add one new vegetable
💚 Try a spice you’ve never cooked with
❤️ Build one rainbow meal a day
💜 Eat food that looks alive

What’s the MOST colourful meal you make at home?
Or drop your favourite country/cuisine for flavour inspiration 🌍✨

💡 Our lightbulb moment…

As nutritional therapists, we kept seeing the same thing over and over again…

Women blaming themselves because diets “worked” for someone else… but not for them.

One woman could thrive on salads and fasting…
Another felt exhausted, starving and craving sugar by 3pm.
One lost weight exercising more…
Another gained weight from stress and burnout.

That’s when it clicked for us…

🚫 One-size-fits-all diet advice simply doesn’t work for women.

Because women’s bodies, hormones, stress responses, cravings and weight gain patterns are different.

That’s why we created Breaking Fads 💛

A healthy weight management programme based on 5 Hormone Body Types — helping women understand:
✨ Why they gain weight differently
✨ Why they crave different foods
✨ Why certain diets fail them
✨ And how to eat in a way that actually suits THEIR body

No calorie obsession.
No punishment.
No fads.
Just understanding your body properly for the first time.
