📢 I can't afford a coach.
Sound like a familiar excuse? Lets talk about it.

Investing in a coach is one of the most powerful decisions you can make for your personal or professional growth. But I get it—money can feel like a barrier. Here’s the truth: You can’t afford NOT to invest in yourself.

Here’s how to make it happen:
1️⃣ Budget for it. Treat coaching like a necessity, not a luxury. Cut back on non-essentials (like daily coffees or subscriptions you don’t use) and redirect that money toward your growth.
2️⃣ Payment plans. Many coaches (including me!) offer flexible payment options to make it easier for you.
3️⃣ Start small. If a full program feels out of reach, look for workshops, group coaching, or shorter sessions to get started.

❌ Excuse: "It’s too expensive."
💡 Solution: Think about what you’re losing by not investing in yourself. What’s the cost of staying stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled?

❌ Excuse: "I don’t have time."
💡 Solution: Coaching saves you time. Instead of wasting years figuring things out on your own, a coach helps you fast-track your progress.

❌ Excuse: "I can do it on my own."
💡 Solution: Sure, you can, but why struggle alone? A coach provides accountability, expertise, and a fresh perspective to help you achieve your goals faster.

My advice on how to navigate your menstrual cycle 🔁

1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1–5)
The uterus sheds its lining, causing menstruation, i.e. your period 🛑
Estrogen and progesterone levels are at their lowest, this means:
💤 fatigue
🤕 cramps
📉 reduced energy levels
📈 increased cravings for comfort foods due to hormonal changes.
💧 water retention can cause temporary weight gain.
😪 reduced motivation and performance in workouts

✅ Tips:
- Focus on light to moderate exercise like walking or reduce your training to 60%
- Prioritize iron-rich foods (spinach, lentils) or supplement more iron with hydration.
- Don’t stress about temporary weight fluctuations—this is not fat gain.

2. Follicular Phase (Days 6–14)
Estrogen slowly starts to rise, this is where you hit your training hard as:
🔋 energy levels increase
😄 mood improves
🥗 digestion improves as the body is more insulin-sensitive

✅ Tips:
- As energy will be higher, get back to training at a high level!
- Focus on getting back on track

3. Ovulatory Phase (Days 15–17)
Estrogen peaks, and the luteinizing hormone (LH) triggers ovulation. This means:
🔋 energy levels and confidence are at their highest.
🤰 may experience bloating and slight weight gain due to water retention.

✅ Tips:
- Aim to smash those PR's
- Appetite may slightly increase but is manageable. If needed you can increase calories slightly so you can train a little harder

4. Luteal Phase (Days 18–28)
Progesterone rises, preparing the body for a "potential" pregnancy.
😤 mood swings
😫 fatigue
🥵 body temperature may increase, slightly affecting sleep.
🍴 increased hunger and cravings for high-calorie, sugary, or fatty foods.
💪 reduced performance in workouts due to fatigue or bloating.
💧 water retention can mask fat loss progress.

✅ Tips:
- Focus on steady-state cardio or lighter strength training if energy dips.
- Incorporate high-fibre, nutrient-dense foods (berries, whole grains, legumes) to curb cravings
- Don’t be discouraged by temporary weight fluctuations—fat loss is still occurring.

End Of The Day 🤷‍♀️
☺️ Be Kind to Yourself - Acknowledge that fluctuations are normal and progress is long-term.

Whether you're counting calories, watching your macros, or just trying to stay mindful, this cheatsheet has everything you need to enjoy your sushi without sabotaging your progress.

✨ 100 Calorie - Fruit Swaps ✨

One of my clients recently asked if it was ok to eat fruit on top of their diet plan because it’s ‘healthy’.
I believe fruit and veg is super important for a well rounded diet BUT if your goal is lose fat then you must take into account the calories as they taste so GOOD that it can put you out of your calorie deficit 🫢

🍓🍇🍉 Here’s what 100 calories of popular fruits look like and why they’re awesome for your goals:

🍓 Strawberries: ~300g. High in vitamin C and super filling for low calories!
🍇 Grapes: ~150g. Naturally sweet and perfect for on-the-go snacking.
🍉 Watermelon: ~350g. Hydrating and packed with refreshing flavor.
🍌 Bananas: ~115g. Great for pre-workout fuel with potassium.
🍎 Apples: ~115g. A crunchy, fiber-rich snack.
🍍 Pineapple: ~200g. Tropical vibes with vitamin C.
🥭 Mango: ~150g. A creamy indulgence without overdoing calories.
🫐 Blueberries: ~150g. Antioxidants galore for your recovery needs.
🥝 Kiwis: ~165g. Tart, sweet, and vitamin-packed.
🍊 Oranges: ~200g. Immune-boosting and refreshing.
🍐 Pears: ~160g. Soft, sweet, and satisfying.

Fruit isn’t just about hitting calorie goals—it’s about nourishing your body with vitamins, fiber, and natural energy. 🍑💪

🏅Client: Jovan

🎯Goal: Get abs, Body Recomposition, Lose Weight, Build Habits and Lifestyle Changes.
❌ Problem: Unsure how to set habits and better Doet control, Under fuelled for workouts, Energy Dips, Support & Accountability

Jovan always had issues with diet and consistency. His diet was shocking as he would always train consistently but couple it with fast food and excess calories. Never counted calories or understood macros, was tired of not seeing the results and feeling s**t.

What we did was create a well structured plan that fit Jovans lifestyle. Picking and choosing his favourite foods and implementing them into the program. Straightaway he noticed his energy much better, his sleep much better and his training went through the roof.

Was still going out, had multiple events and went to numerous raves 💫

✅ 17kg down, 4 sizes down in pants 👖. Super happy with physique and is still pushing 🫡

💪 Low-Calorie Foods to Keep You Full in a Deficit!

Here’s a list of my top picks for low-calorie foods that are easy swaps and will keep you on track while you’re in a calorie deficit:

1️⃣ Strawberries & Raspberries - High in fibre and water, they’re low in calories but keep you full and satisfy a sweet craving 🍓

2️⃣ Casein Protein Dessert - A slow-digesting protein that keeps you fuller for longer, perfect before bed or if you want to space out your next meal 🍨

3️⃣ Watermelon - Super hydrating, refreshing, and only about 30 calories per 100g! 🍉

4️⃣ Non-Fat Greek Yogurt - High in protein and creamy, it’s a solid base for parfaits or smoothies while keeping calories low. You can also mix them with protein powder to make a flavoured protein dessert or you can with chives and lemon to make a sauce 🥣

5️⃣ Hard-Boiled Eggs - Low-cal, high protein, and easy to prep. Great on-the-go snack with healthy fats and protein. Just add salt, pepper and lemon for more flavour 🥚

6️⃣ Beef Jerky - Portable protein powerhouse that’s low calorie when you need a salty fix (make sure its the low-sugar versions!) 🐄

7️⃣ Sugar-Free Drinks - Zero calories and helps with hydration, perfect to replace sugary sodas or juices 🥤

8️⃣ Sugar-Free Jelly - A tasty dessert option with almost zero calories and endless flavor options 🍮

9️⃣ Sugar-Free Gum - Great for curbing cravings in between meals or for a sweet fix 🍬

🔟 No-Sugar Lipton Ice Tea - Calorie-free but with a burst of flavor, a refreshing alternative to regular sugary drinks 🍹

1️⃣1️⃣ Low-Fat Ice Cream - Satisfy that ice cream craving without the calorie overload. A must-try when the sweet tooth hits 🍦

1️⃣2️⃣ Unsweetened Almond Milk - At just 13-20 calories per 100ml, it’s a solid swap for regular milk in coffee, shakes, or recipes 🥛

🏅Client: Matthew Youkhannayoukhanna1
🎯Goal: Body Recomposition, Lose Weight, Build Habits and Lifestyle Changes.
❌ Problem: Previous Injury, Macronutrients Tracking, Time Prioritisation

Matthew came to me as he had just recovered from a pretty serious ankle injury that left him unable to do anything. While recovering the thought of eating healthy slow deteriorated and the motivation to stay active and healthy went too.

I was happy that Matt chose me to help guide him through the process as he is someone I know personally and I know that when he puts his mind to something he always gets it done. Giving Matt the tools he needed to be successful and providing support at every step is what was required from me. Matt asked plenty of questions and learned that he didn’t have to starve himself to get back into shape. He needed to correctly fuel himself so he could train harder and recover faster.

Matt went from zero to anime hero, changing his physique from Mr.Popo to Goku!!

🔥 Fat Loss Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated – Let’s Bust Some Common Myths!

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝟭: You Must Do Lots of Cardio to Burn Fat
Cardio is helpful, but it’s not the only answer. A balanced routine with resistance training will help you build or preserve muscle while cutting fat, giving you a more toned look as you lose weight.

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝟮: You Need to Cut Carbs or Fats to Lose Fat
Fat loss doesn’t depend on cutting out an entire food group like carbs or fats. What counts is the calorie deficit, not avoiding specific macronutrients. Research shows you can still lose fat while eating more carbs or more fats—what matters is staying within your calorie goals

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝟯: You Have to Stop Eating by 6PM to Lose Fat
Eating after 6 PM won’t sabotage your progress. It’s your total calorie intake that matters, not the time of day. Find an eating pattern that fits your lifestyle and helps you stay in a calorie deficit, no matter when you eat.

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝟰: Diets Don’t Work for You
It’s not the diet! Fat loss is about building better habits and systems that support your goals. Start small, stay consistent, and layer on more goals as you go. You don’t need to rely on willpower alone when you have a smart strategy in place.

𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝟱: You Can’t Eat More Than 1200 (female) or 1500 (male) Calories to Lose Fat
Setting a random low-calorie number is not the answer. Your calorie intake should be based on your personal stats, activity level, and dieting history—not on a one-size-fits-all number. Let’s calculate what works for your unique body.

The truth is, fat loss can be simple when you focus on what really matters: creating sustainable habits that fit your life while enjoying the foods you love. Let’s work together to help you reach your goals without all the unnecessary rules!
