Plot twist: that veg juice in your trolley might actually be… mostly fruit 👀

We lined up a bunch of supermarket veg juices and checked the % of actual vegetables (because marketing can be a little ✨creative✨ 🙃)

And turns out that a lot are mainly fruit, although there were a few surprising ones that are genuinely veg-packed!

Why this matters (without demonizing juice):
If you’re drinking these thinking you’re getting the benefits of veggies (i.e fibre, antioxidants, blood-sugar-friendly nutrients) juices can’t fully deliver.

Yes, they’re fun, tasty, convenient… but just not interchangeable with whole veg.

Our TLD tip👇
Enjoy juice as juice, but let whole veggies be your main source of fibre + nutrients. And if you’re choosing a veg juice, higher % veg simply gets you closer to what you think you’re buying.

Save this for your next Coles/Woolies run and tag the friend who loves a “detox juice” moment 😂

Here’s how we celebrated Wholegrain Week👇

2. They cooked up a DELICIOUS storm of wholegrain packed recipes
3. Cheers to eating carbs (and yes, that is how dietitians table scape 🥦🫑🍅)
4. Michelle attended a delicious morning with and to learn about (and eat!) wholegrains + enjoyed the company of a few friendly familiar faces 🥰
5. Sia’s just happy the babysitting fell through because she got to join in on all the wholegrain celebrations 😌

Prepare for an aha moment… 👇

(also tag your fave coffee spot)

The best nutrition advice isn’t the shiny new diet trends that are constantly popping up. Think keto, low carb, raw, paleo, Whole30, carnivore, Atkins, etc. They have a high turnover for a reason 👀

The simple advice that stands the test of time, like eating more veg, fruit, whole grains and lean protein while reducing alcohol and processed foods, is really the best advice.

And we know it’s actually more about the “how” and “why” when it comes to implementing this advice.

That’s why at TLD we have upskilled in the psychology of behaviour change. So we can help you take trusted, familiar advice (that actually works) and turn it into to sustainable habits you can do long term.

So, shift your focus from the “what” and starting focusing on the “why” and “how”. Visit our link in bio to book an appointment or DM us to chat about how we can support you 🙂

Spoiler: sometimes it’s not much avo at all 👀

We pulled nine supermarket “avocado” dips and checked the ingredients list (so you don’t have to 🤝)

Some are 90% avo (we love that for them), while others? More oils, sour cream or cream cheese than green gold.

Why it matters (without the food fear):
Avo = heart-healthy fats, fibre + antioxidants 🥑 Perfect for PCOS, endo, heart health/cholesterol, reducing inflammation, insulin resistance.

So here’s our TLD tip👇
No need to ditch your fave dips, just flip the pack and check the % avocado. The closer to 100% the more likely you’re getting the real deal, not a green catfish 🤡

Save this for your next grocery shop andddddddd share with a friend who’s as loyal to guac as we are 🥑

Plot twist: eating disorders don’t check your birth date

Most people think eating disorders only happen in your teens. But food struggles can show up (or sneak back in) during times of big hormonal shifts. Think perimenopause, postpartum and pregnancy.

Because when your hormones, body, sleep and identity all change at once, your relationship with food can feel different too.

🌙 Perimenopause + menopause: when your body changes and old diet culture messages start creeping back in, it can be tough to feel at peace with food

🤰 Pregnancy + postpartum: where “eat clean” meets “eat enough,” and your body changes faster than your wardrobe can keep up.

🧠 Adolescence: most of us think of this stage first, but we also need to talk about males, who are often left out of the conversation.

💛 Save this post or share it with someone who needs to hear that food struggles aren’t just a “teen thing.”

At first glance, these bloods looked “bad.” All the cholesterol numbers still in red. We remember this particular client came in feeling flat because their GP had only said, “your cholesterol is still high.”

But what wasn’t pointed out…

Every. Single. Result. was trending down over the past year! LDL (the “sticky” plaque-forming kind), total cholesterol, all slowly dropping. And this client had done it through everyday food changes and lifestyle tweaks. No meds 😮

If we’d only focused on “still high,” they probably would’ve thrown in the towel. Instead, we zoomed out, celebrated the wins and turned those habits into a tracker to keep ticking off ✍️

You know, this is exactly why we always focus on progress over perfection in consults. Health changes don’t happen overnight. They happen in small steps stacked over time.

So if you’ve been making changes but the end goal feels so far away, zoom out. You might already be halfway there 🥰

Save this for the next time you feel like your hard work isn’t paying off, or share it with someone who needs a boost
