100 cal doesn’t make a food healthy.

I listened to the radio the other day in complete bewilderment when a producer flippantly named a new product “healthy“ because it only had 70 cal per serve. It was a bag of chips.

This post isn’t about targeting particular foods and whether they’re good for you or not (you know that ain’t not my jam!) but rather how a simplistic message of THIS = HEALTHY is wrong and dangerous.

When you start to view foods in a ‘less than’ way it completely devalues what food provides both nutritionally and emotionally and it sets up a pretty fragile relationship with yourself and with food.

Then it becomes a competition - can I go with less? How little can I eat? It’s a slippery slope from here….

Disordered food and dieting thoughts don’t have to plague you all day, and it is possible to heal from this way of thinking when you seek the right help and support from an eating disorder professional.

Feeding kids is a LOT. 😮‍💨

The mess (!!), the ‘yuk’, the running off every 4 secs between mouthfuls.

Not to mention the angst we as parents carry of “but they didn’t eat enough [said vegetable/meat].”

Something that’s helped me as a mum is the guidance of:

🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Parents decide (what to serve)
👶🏻 Kids decide (how much they eat)

I also serve everything at the same time to reduce the novelty of the sweet/dessert aspect & allow my kids to self regulate their tastes and appetite - hence a chocolate biscuit between zucchini slice and noodle stir fry!

Claire is speaking on Monday 17th November on fussy eating.

Spots are limited, bookings essential to learn about super practical tips to help you and your family eat with confidence.

Probiotics - do they make a difference?!?

Here’s the protocol I use in practice and with clients (noting a deep dive into your symptoms and situation is always needed first before taking these).

And although I haven’t mentioned a prebiotic here - there’s a few newbies that were trying atm so stay tuned!

*this is not a paid promotion - I genuinely like and have seen results with this brand.

Let’s clear the air around peri/menopause nutrition 💜

Plus we're really good at myth busting here!

At The Nutrition Circle, we take a gentle, evidence-based approach that focuses on nourishment, not numbers. We want you to feel empowered and in control at all times.

Peri/Menopause is a time to support your body - not fight it.

Happy Menopause Month!

I love that this topic is HOT 🔥 at the moment, but acknowledging it can also be super overwhelming.

Here's why I believe these two areas of food are important from a health perspective. Understanding why protein and calcium are ESSENTIAL (now and for the next 25 years) will leave your future self thanking you.

If you're feeling a little lost with your eating patterns - perhaps its time to book in for a chat, and let us review and guide you to a way of meeting your nutrition, without the crazy diet or overwhelm.

The Diet Train 🚂

Whether you're on it, been on it or beginning to realise the impact of dieting - sometimes it can be helpful to see what's really going on.

When you feel down about your body, society has primed us to think you need to 'fix' or shrink your body and everything will be better.

What no one talks about is the deprivation - the hunger, the rules, the feeling of missing out. Eventually the diet breaks and you're left feeling gutted, guilty and shame.

And before you know it, you're either looking for the next diet trend… or you go “rogue” until you're ready to start again.

💛 Here’s the truth: you are not the problem. Diet culture is.

If you’re tired of riding the diet train, there is another way — one where food feels easier, more joyful, and a whole lot less stressful. 🌿✨

People ask me what is and this ☝️ kinda sums it up nicely.

The journey back to YOUR inner wisdom.

My big belief is that we all have the ability to know and listen to our body cues. Whilst it may take more work for some to understand it, we are all born with it.

Preoccupation about body weight and trying to lose it is the BIGGEST BARRIER to becoming an intuitive eater. It clouds, undermines and keeps you stuck in the same sh!ty place.

I have so many women who have experienced life without having to count or follow strict food rules and instead, turn up to a party and decide what they want to eat with full conviction.

Would you love this to you too?

What’s one food ‘rule’ you’d LOVE to ditch?

🍞 No bread
🍫 No chocolate
🥩 No carbs at night
🙅‍♀️ Other (comment and share with me!)

I can honestly say, hand on heart that I don't live by a single rule when it comes to my eating. I grew up eating pasta for breakfast, apples microwaved with sugar (& even Nutella!) sprinkled on top after school and mum reminding me I still had to eat my broccoli.

This exploration and fun-ness around food has allowed me to tune into my body and interpret a genuine want or desire for food, and when enough is enough.

There's NO rules in my head telling me what to eat, or not eat.

There IS information in my head to guide me but MOST of it is informed by body trust and experience.

For example. If I eat a large bag of S&V chips = burnt tastebuds, a sickly feeling in my stomach and a belter headache an hour later. NOT FUN but this does not make chips a bad food, or something to rule out.

This is what intuitive eaters do, and YOU can learn to be one too. My E.A.S.E program is due to start in less than 3 weeks so jump on board the waitlist and be the first to know when spots are open!
