💛 R U OK? Day 💛

Today is a gentle reminder to check in—not just with words, but with care and curiosity. While “R U OK?” is often asked in relation to mental health, it’s also an important question to ask those who may be struggling with food, body image, or eating behaviours.

These challenges often go unseen. But they’re real. And they matter.

Here are a few signs someone might be struggling:
🍽️ Avoiding meals or rigid food rules
🥗 Sudden changes in eating habits or adopting restrictive diets
🧠 Preoccupation with weight, food, calories, or exercise
👤 Withdrawing from social events involving food
🙍‍♀️ Expressing guilt after eating or dissatisfaction with body image

You don’t have to be an expert to ask, “Are you OK?”
You just have to be human.

Eating disorders and body image concerns can feel isolating. Your support could be the first step in someone feeling less alone.

Let’s hold space. Let’s be present. Let’s listen without trying to fix. 💛

🫂 If you or someone you know is struggling, professional help is available—and you’re never alone.

🍫 World Chocolate Day ✨

You don’t need a special occasion to enjoy chocolate—but today’s as good a time as any to celebrate pleasure, satisfaction, and connection in eating.

Chocolate isn’t just a “sometimes food” or something to “balance out”—it’s food. And food is allowed to be joyful, comforting, nostalgic, or just… tasty.

You don’t have to earn it. You don’t have to justify it. You’re allowed to enjoy it—just because it’s chocolate, and you like it.

🌈 World Pride Day 🌈

Today (and every day), we honour the strength, diversity, and brilliance of the LGBTQIA+ community.

We also recognise that for many, experiences with food, body image, and healthcare have not always felt safe or inclusive. You deserve care that sees you, hears you, and supports you—without judgment, assumptions, or shame.

At Eat for Life Dietetics, we’re committed to providing affirming, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed nutrition care for all bodies, all identities, and all people. We stand with you—always.

🧠💙 Men’s Health Week: A Spotlight on Eating Disorders in Men

Eating disorders don’t discriminate—and yet, they’re often misunderstood when it comes to men.

While once thought of as “a women’s issue,” we now know that over one third of those with eating disorders are men—and that number is likely much higher due to underreporting, stigma, and a lack of recognition within healthcare.

Eating disorders may look different in men. Some signs to be aware of include:

Exercising while injured, unwell, or becoming distressed if unable to train
- Preoccupation with body shape, weight, muscle tone, or fitness goals
- Repetitive dieting or restricting food groups
- Macro/calorie tracking or obsessive meal planning
- Use of muscle-enhancing substances
- Withdrawing from social situations
- Sensitivity to comments about food, body, or appearance

These behaviours can come from a deeply painful place, often hidden behind “discipline” or “health.” But eating disorders are not a choice—and support is available.

If this sounds like you or someone you care about, you are not alone. Support is available through your GP or the Butterfly Foundation Helpline:
📞 1800 33 4673

🦋 Let’s break the silence. Let’s create space for men to speak up. Let’s remind all people: your relationship with food and your body matters.

Thinking of all the types of mums this mothers day 🧡 🌼

Protein plays a huge role in the body—it's essential for many functions such as:
💪 Supporting muscle repair & recovery
🩸 Helping hormone & enzyme production
🍽️ Can help to keep you fuller for longer
🧠 Supporting brain function & immune health

While we fully support the importance of protein in the diet, it has also been placed on a pedestal in recent years, making it seem like more = better.

However, most people eating a balanced diet get enough protein without needing to stress over it. For example, an average daily intake might look like:
🥚 2 eggs + toast at breakfast
🥜 Handful of nuts as a snack
🥪 Chicken & salad sandwich for lunch
🍚 Stir-fry with tofu or beef & rice for dinner
🥛 A glass of milk or a serve of yoghurt before bed

Protein supplements can be a convenient way to get enough protein, especially if you struggle to meet your needs, but they’re not always necessary — just aim for a balance that works for you!

Protein needs do vary, so we recommend seeing an Accredited Practising Dietitian if you would like more advice on protein and how it fits into your overall diet, would like a dietary assessment to determine your protein intake and see if its adequate, are adopting or following a strict vegetarian or vegan diet or have higher protein requirements because of sports or a health condition.

Anti-inflammatory foods: What does the science say?

The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) is a research-based tool that ranks foods based on their potential to increase or reduce inflammation in the body. While inflammation is a normal response to injury or illness, chronic inflammation is linked to conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.

So, what foods have be researched to have anti- inflammatory effects in the body ⬇️

🍓 Fruits and 🥦 Vegetables – Packed with antioxidants and polyphenols, fiber and vitamins that support gut and immune health that fight oxidative stress. Aim for variety and colour

🌿 Herbs & Spices – Again aim for a variety. Examples like turmeric, ginger, garlic, and cinnamon have shown to contain strong anti-inflammatory compounds.

🌾 Wholegrains – Unlike refined grains, wholegrains provide fiber and phytonutrients that help lower inflammation. Oats, multigrain bread/wraps, quinoa, and brown rice are some examples.

🍗 Lean Meats – choosing lean meats like chicken, turkey, and fish due to their lower saturated fat content can help to reduce inflammation

🥑 Healthy Fats – Omega-3s from oily fish (salmon, sardines), nuts, seeds, and extra virgin olive oil can help reduce inflammation.

Again, rather than focusing on individual “superfoods,” an overall diverse, balanced diet is key to supporting long-term health. 🌿✨

28/02/2025

An anti-inflammatory diet is still not clearly defined, but nutrition research has deemed that overall dietary patterns that follow the following features can have an anti-inflammatory effects on the body.

✨Diversity is key – A variety of plant foods (fruits, veggies, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds) provides a mix of antioxidants and fibre to support gut and immune health. Aim for more colour overall

🥑 Balance your fats – Incorporate more unsaturated fats (avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish) in the diet.

🐟 Opting for lean meat and reducing intake of red meat by incorporating poultry, fish, seafood and legumes (lentils, chickpeas, beans) into your weekly rotation

🌾 Choose whole grains more often – fibre-rich options like whole grains bread, crackers, cereal, rice, pasta can help regulate inflammation long-term.

🍽️ Nourish consistently – Skipping meals or under-eating can increase stress on the body, so regular, balanced meals are essential.

☕ Lifestyle matters too – Sleep, stress management, movement, and connection with others all play a role in keeping inflammation in check.

Keep an eye out for more information in our next post

Respecting your body means fueling it in a way that supports your energy, mood, and well-being—without guilt, fear, or unnecessary restriction.

Nutrition isn’t about punishment; it’s about care. 💛

Eggs are one of the most versatile, nutrient-packed foods out there! 🥚💪

✔️ One serve of eggs provides 13 different essential vitamins and nutrients, including quality protein, antioxidants and omega-3s.

In the past, guidelines used to recommend limiting eggs because of their potential impact on blood cholesterol. However with the development in nutrition research, this has been debunked and it is well known that eggs have a minimal impact on blood cholesterol for most people.

For individuals with heart disease, diabetes or high LDL cholesterol levels, the Heart Foundation suggests a limit of 7 eggs per week until further research is available. It can be helpful to speak to an accredited practicing dietitian to help individualise this advice based on your individual circumstance

16/02/2025

Instead of focusing on what to take OUT of your meals, what if we flipped the script and thought about what to add IN? ✨

✅ Add grains and/or starchy vegetables for extra fibre and sustained energy e.g. bread, wraps, rice, crisp bread, potato, sweet potato
✅ Add protein to support fullness and muscle repair e.g. chicken, meat, tuna, legumes, tofu
✅ Add colour with fruits & veggies for antioxidants and vitamins
✅ Add healthy fats for brain function, satiety and hormones
✅ Add flavour with herbs, spices, sauces or condiments

Nourishing your plate doesn’t mean restriction—it means creating a satisfying, balanced meal that fuels your body and mind. 💛
