🔧 Improving your diet doesn’t have to be a complete overhaul! As a dietitian I often see the most sustainable and significant results come from small, consistent changes

🥑 Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on progress. Reading the nutrition panels and choosing the best option is one strategy that can make a big difference over time.

🥑 When you need a snack that will help to keep you full, don’t overlook fibre

🍐 In addition to assisting with regular digestion, fibre also has benefits for cholesterol, blood sugar and weight management, plus supports your gut health

🍌 An easy way to help with reaching a minimum of 30g of fibre a day, make sure fibre is included in your snacks

🍎 When looking for fibre foods to include in snacks, gravitate towards plant-based ingredients because all plant foods contain fibre

☕️ It is often surprising how many kilojoules are in coffee

➡️ If weightloss is your goal, a simple swap such as ordering a long black with milk, will save 470kJ (50Cal). If you do this everyday, you will save 3290kJ (770Cal) over the week!

👉🏻 This will have a great impact for such a small change 🤩

🫑 🍄‍🟫 🥦 Volume Eating

▫️Volume eating allows you to prioritise high-volume foods to help increase satiety and fullness without increasing calorie intake

▫️Generally, foods that are high in fibre and/or water content, plus low in sugar are considered ‘high volume’ foods, given that both fibre and water provide little to no calories per gram.

▫️High volume foods include:
- leafy green vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, kale🥬
- cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli
- stem and other vegetables such as capsicum, onions, zucchini, celery
- fruit such as rock melon and berries

▫️Volume eating is a great way to consume nutrient-dense foods and support weight loss. Since high volume foods have a high water and fibre content, they are lower in calories and are more satiating than low volume foods.

▫️Consuming high volume, low calorie foods helps you to eat fewer calories and create a calorie deficit while remaining satisfied

🍽️ Day on a plate - pescatarian

💡 A one day example of a meal plan developed for a client following a pescatarian diet and wishing to decrease body fat whilst maintaining/ building muscle mass

🥗 A helpful way to develop a healthy diet is to focus on what you can add, rather than what to take away

👉🏻 As always, the focus is on protein and fibre to create fulfilling and satisfying meals … plus all the other health-associated benefits

🫛🍄‍🟫Plant-Based Diets

🥜 A plant-based diet focuses on foods sourced primarily from plants. This eating pattern is environmentally friendly and is associated with several health benefits

🫘 When transitioning to a plant-based diet, meat alternatives make it super easy to recreate the familiar textures and flavours of meat while helping you getting used to eating more veg meals

🌮 Not all plant-based meats are created equal. Some are better than others! Most have improved in recent years and are no longer so heavy on the coconut and palm oil, however some do still contain excessive calories and sodium 🧂

👉🏻The following criteria will assist you in choosing the healthiest option …..

> 10g of protein per 100Cal
< 2g of saturated fat per 100g
made from a nutrient-dense source of protein (soy, legumes, pea)
< 400mg of sodium per 100g
Fortified with iron

🍤 10:1 Protein Ratio Rule ….. the secret to identifying sources of low calorie protein

🥣 Not all protein sources are created equal, especially when it comes to packaged sources such as bars, bread, cereals etc.

🤓The 10:1 protein ratio enables you to benefit from feeling more full from protein sources without excess calories, which is exactly what we want when trying to achieve a calorie deficit

👉🏻 To calculate, take the grams of protein in a serving and add a zero to the end. Compare this number to the calories per serve. You want this new number with the added zero to be the same or higher than the calories.

🐟 For example, a 95g can of tuna in spring water has 17g of protein. Adding a zero to this number gives you 170 which is higher than the 75 calories that the tuna contains ….. hence a good ratio!

▫️This post provides the key markers that can be used to monitor your metabolic health

▫️Why is this important? Prevention and management lead to a better quality of life and reduce the risk factors for medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease etc

▫️Together, markers such as: fasting blood glucose levels, triglycerides, HbA1c, HDL-cholesterol, blood pressure and waist circumference can provide a snapshot of your health and can guide lifestyle adjustments to improve your metabolic function.

➡️ Meal plans are an effective way to meet specific health and nutrition-related goals such as weight loss, muscle growth, and the management of specific chronic diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver, high cholesterol etc

➡️ Personalised meal plans consist of your preferred foods, meals and appropriate portion sizes, to assist you to reach your goals … for example, a nutritionally optimised meal plan to achieve muscle protein synthesis on a plant-based diet
