Confused about what the keto diet actually is? 🥑💡 You're not alone. In this video, we break down the basics of keto — what it means, how your body produces ketones, and when it happens (hint: not just from dieting!)

Whether it's from low-carb intake, fasting, or intense exercise, ketones are an alternative fuel source.
But here’s the catch — while a keto diet can offer benefits, many struggle with its long-term sustainability due to lifestyle and social factors, often leading to rebound weight gain.😬

So… is keto really the best strategy for your metabolism and overall health? In the next few videos, we’ll compare keto to other popular approaches like intermittent fasting and simple caloric restriction. Stay tuned to get the full picture.

Let’s ditch the all-or-nothing mindset because consistency matters more than perfection.

You don’t need a 6-day workout split or 2-hour sessions to make progress. If the choice is “go to the gym” or “do nothing,” choose the 10-minute walk. It still counts.

💡 ALL movement MATTERS!

The more your muscles move, the better your metabolic health, energy, and overall well-being. Don’t pressure yourself to stick to a routine that doesn’t fit your life. Build habits you can actually maintain and give yourself credit for showing up.

👉 What’s your favorite way to get movement in on a busy day?

Want to level up your fibre game? Here are some easy dietitian-approved ways to sneak in more fibre without overthinking it:

👉 1️⃣ Bean-based dips — think edamame, lentil, or chickpea dips for a satisfying fibre + protein boost.

👉 2️⃣ Add beans to salads — black bean & mango salsa is a delicious, high-fibre twist.

👉 3️⃣ Load up your eggs & toast — sauté extra veggies to stir into an egg bake or pile onto whole grain toast.

👉 4️⃣ Choose high-fibre bread and pasta — look for “whole grain” on the ingredients list and check for at least 4g fibre per serving.

👉 5️⃣ Chia seeds — just 2 tablespoons pack in nearly 10g of fibre and can easily be added to smoothies, yogurt, or overnight oats.

🌱 Remember: fibre = fuller for longer, happier gut, and steadier blood sugars.

💧 Bonus tip: As you add fibre, don’t forget to increase your fluids to keep everything moving smoothly!

Move over protein, FIBERMAXXING is the new diet trend that has taken the internet by storm this summer!

This trend is all about intentionally maximizing your fibre intake from a wide variety of foods to support gut health, balance blood sugars, and keep you fuller for longer. As a dietitian, I love to see fibre take center-stage because the truth is, most people fall short of the recommended intakes.

🎯How much to aim for? The recommended daily fibre intakes are 25g/day for women and 38g/day for men.

🌱We get fibre from a wide variety of foods like wholegrains, fruit and vegetables, legumes, nuts & seeds and even fortified products and supplements (hello protein AND fibre-packed pancake mix 😍

✨ Tips to fibermaxx smarter:
✔️ Check the nutrition facts table for grams of fibre per serving. Aim for foods that offer 15% or more Daily Value (DV) for fibre.
✔️ Aim for a variety of fibre sources — pulses, seeds, whole grains, veg, and fruit. More variety = greater gut microbiome diversity
✔️ Increase fluids as you add more fibre to keep digestion running smoothly!

Want results without the setbacks? Injuries often happen when we push too hard, too fast, especially when our body hasn’t had enough time to recover.

The key? Progressive overload, a proven strategy to build strength, endurance, and resilience while lowering your risk of injury. 💪

✔️ Increase your training load slowly (aim for no more than 10–15% per week)
✔️ Plan for recovery — muscles may recover in 24–72 hours, but tendons and bones take longer
✔️ Use deload weeks every 4–6 weeks to stay on track

Consistent, smart progress > crash-and-burn training every time. Ready to train smarter? Let’s do it right.
