Look, ideally you’d crumb your own fish. No one will dispute that.

If crumbed fish is something you eat regularly, I’d recommend crumbing a big batch and then freezing in portions.

BUT.

If you’ve been caught with your pants down and you need to get dinner on the table in

The two are often confused.

Now, I’m not trying to be all holier than thou. This is something that we all need to be constantly working on.

It’s so, so, so easy to jump on to PubMed (or SciHub 🤫) to find some studies that support something I believe to be true. And I will always find those studies. It might be a rat study from 1987, but I’ll find it.

But that’s not research.

Research involves looking at aaaall the evidence, the for and against, and piecing it all together.

It’s really freaking hard, even if you’ve spent years and years developing your ability to do so.

I can’t help with that, but hopefully this helps a little:

1. Social media, websites and non-text books aren’t subject to peer review, which means they can say whatever they want. There’s obviously lots of valuable information available via these mediums, but there’s also lots of garbage. Tread lightly (and no the irony is not lost on me)
2. Being a doctor/dietitian/having a PhD does not make you immune to being an idiot, nor does it make you all knowing
3. Your government’s health department is actually pretty invested in making you healthy
4. The experts probably aren’t wrong, and you haven’t been lied too
5. When investigating a topic, try and use as neutral search terms as possible. Ie. “dairy pro inflammatory” or “dairy anti inflammatory” are terrible search terms. You’re going to find exactly what you’re looking for. Instead “dairy inflammation” or “dairy inflammatory markers” etc. etc. might be a better place to start.
6. Be open to the other side of the argument. You don’t have to accept it, but at least try to understand why they’re saying the things they’re saying

I still stuff it up. You will too. But if we’re trying to stick to the above, we’ll all improve ❤️

Guys, I have not been this excited about a product in a long time.

It is a serious box ticker.

✅ Great source of fibre
✅ Huge plant diversity (seriously, FIFTEEN)
✅ Cost effective
✅ Quuuuuuuuick
✅ Actually delicious

I had this for lunch yesterday to try it out and I was half expecting to need to add a sauce to dress it up a bit (which would still be fine) but NOPE. It’s delicious.

Pair it with your protein of choice for a complete meal, but if you want your meal ready in less than three minutes, I’d look at a smoked salmon fillet, microwaved edamame, tin of tuna or sandwich press tofu. BAM

Even the kids liked it*

Grab a few to keep in your freezer for those “Oh 💩” moments 😍

PS. I haven’t tried the fried rice because we cook our own all the time. It looks good on paper too though!

*this is not a great endorsement though because they may actually hate it next time

This is by far one of the weirdest double standards in my industry.

Weetbix are bad for you, because they’re too processed.

But somehow, these “super” powder supplements aren’t too processed?

What am I missing? (other than the incredibly high margins on supplements which I’m SURE is not relevant…)

BATTLE OF THE DAIRY FREE YOGHURTS*

Here’s the deal. Nutritionally, the Vitasoy smokes the Chobani.

It’s got more protein, more calcium and less saturated fat.

It’s also soy (duh), so if you or your kids have a soy allergy, it’s no bueno.

The Chobani DOES taste better. But it’s lower in protein and calcium, and also has more saturated fat. It does have more fibre though!

It’s also soy free, so perfect for any dairy + soy allergies (a pretty common combo!). It isn’t gluten free (can’t have everything I guess 😢)

So which is better?

They’re both awesome. We’re so incredibly lucky to have access to these quality, allergy friendly options that don’t taste like 💩.

It’s boring, but there is no winner! It’s like U10 soccer! Everyone wins!

Greetings, and welcome. I want to play a game.⠀
⠀
(Sorry if that quote makes anyone 💩 themselves)⠀
⠀
On the way home from a long day at work, you drive past a McDonald’s. ⠀
⠀
In scenario one, you have a coffee

for breakfast, a tiny lunch 6 hours ago, no concrete plans for dinner, and no effective habits for coping with stress or appetite awareness. ⠀
⠀
In scenario two, you have a filling, substantial breakfast and lunch, a satisfying snack that contained protein and fibre a few hours ago, a plan for dinner that you brainstormed on the weekend, plus effective strategies to deal with stress and appetite awareness. ⠀
⠀
GUESS WHICH ONE IS GOING TO END IN DEATH BY CHEESEBURGERS*⠀
⠀
If you’re in scenario one, you’re probably going to take the Drive Thru Detour. And you’re probably going to blame your lack of willpower. ⠀
⠀
Instead you should be blaming your lack of a plan and your poorly constructed day of nutrition that forced you to rely SOLELY on willpower. ⠀
⠀
Yes, there are absolutely times you’re going to need to do things you don’t want to do. Achieving health and fitness goals often requires a bit of grit and determination. ⠀
⠀
But I have lost count (and I’m pretty good at counting tbh) of the times a client blames their lack of willpower for a slip up, when in actual fact there was a whooooole string of events that lead to that point. ⠀
⠀
Maybe you’ve got all the willpower you need? Maybe the issue is a.) you don’t actually have a plan or b.) your plan sucks?⠀

⠀
⠀
⠀

*Not saying that’s a bad thing, but it needs to be on your terms, not McDonald’s

Poor oats.

There’s a bit of a move to demonise sweet breakfasts, largely driven by the DextroseDeity, but then parroted by endless other keto/low carb enthusiasts.

Did you know, after you eat oats, your blood sugar goes up?

Do you know after you eat most things, your blood sugar goes up?

Do you know that it’s ok if your blood sugar goes up?*

The… SugarSpirit may say otherwise, but I assure you the majority of the evidence supports including oats in your diet. People who eat oats tend to die less (1) and, ironically, have better blood sugar control (also 1)

Look, I’m not going to argue that a bowl of oats and water is nutritionally complete.

If you’re able, I would strongly recommend adding a source of protein (yoghurt, milk/mylk, protein powder) and some fats (nuts or seeds) to add to your excellent source of carbohydrates (oats) and to also provide some extra micronutrients (ie. vitamins, minerals, other stuff).

What’s that? You feel like you can get a good source of protein, some healthy fats, a good source of carbohydrates and some extra micronutrients from a savoury breakfast?

So you’re saying you could tick these boxes with a savoury breakfast OR a sweet breakfast? Maybe you could even mix it up throughout the week?!😮

OH MAN. You just might might be on to something.

*certain medical conditions need to monitor their blood sugar levels more closely but if you have one of these medical conditions, you probably already know and shouldn’t be taking dietary advice from social media
