Someone commented on my muscles the other day, and said ‘I bet you eat a low carb or keto diet!’ Nope. Low carb or keto diets can work for some people, in certain situations (ie. insulin resistance) or to suit their preferences.. but to lean up and get definition you don’t NEED to go on a low carb diet. In fact, I use carbs to ensure I can do an intense great workout and to fuel my muscles and body post workout. The trick is choosing unrefined carbohydrates and also including plenty of vegetables and adequate protein (minimum 1g per kg of body weight, ideally more).

Apart from the plastic bag they come in, I do love pre-made salad bags for quick healthy lunches when I’m pushed for time. I don’t always love the dressings that come with them but it’s so easy to whip up your own healthy tasty dressing - this pre-made mixed salad has chicken added (or add chickpeas, nuts, seeds for a vegan option) and then whisk together a squeeze of lemon juice, 1-2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon of tahini, and a small drizzle of honey. Mix together, and serve! Delicious!

Inspired by the recipe of , (just added a few roasted hazelnuts), this recipe was delicious, satiating, and nutritious (plenty of fibre, and protein)!

Sauce - blend silken tofu with peas and kale. Season with pepper. Gently warm on stovetop. Then mix with cooked wholemeal penne pasta. Top with mushrooms cooked in extra virgin olive oil, roasted hazelnuts, and Parmesan cheese. Serve! Yum!

Post resistance training snack - ~25g protein and ~55g carbs with plenty of fibre. Chobani Greek yoghurt (no added sugar), handful of organic frozen berries, tablespoon of chia seeds and Carmen’s granola. Delicious and hits the spot for a post workout feed to fuel muscle growth! 💪🏻👊🏻

Meal after this will be either a chicken salad with dressing, or a lentil soup, with a large weak latte. Always aiming for adequate protein, fibre, long lasting carbohydrates and healthy fats. Keeps me satisfied and energy levels stable throughout the day.

Dietitians Unite 2024 - what a day and night! I had so many chats that I lost my voice and forgot to take photos of the glamorous vivid cruise 🤦🏼‍♀️
here’s a few snaps of the morning highlights..

First time exhibiting there with our health coaching training company and sharing the stand with the industry body Health Coaches Australia New Zealand Association (HCANZA).

The day kicked off with the Ab Fab Maz who was hilariously engaging and entertaining. I’m off to do ‘boring audits’ of everything I have online! Eliminate white noise and create noise people want to listen to!

Behind the Scenes with my little Co-Worker. An unfiltered photo of my desk!
- Weak coffee (I have reflux so it’s weak but two kids and two businesses mean I still love a little caffeine in a comforting beverage)
- TP therapy ball (to help release or ease the pain of my chronically locked up back)
- nail polish for when I need to keep my hands busy (usually whilst listening to something!)
- to do lists (still love my .k written ones as well as lists!)
- two screens (how do people function with only one?)
- air pods for my health coaching phone calls
- tooth floss in case I jump on a zoom and I have a giant seed or spinach in my teeth!
- water glass to keep me hydrated
- hair elastic as my office gets so hot
- random USB for onsite presentations that require it
- stacks of pens so at least one works and I can grab it quickly for my meetings or discovery calls
- note pads for jotting down notes when listening to health coaching students or for meetings
- and sometimes a little cutie on my lap to give my cuddles for motivation!!
