High-protein Pad Krapow Chicken/Turkey 🌶️

This is one of my favourite quick midweek meals when I want something packed with flavour but still high in protein and relatively balanced.

I’ve swapped the traditional pork for lean chicken or turkey mince, kept all the garlic, chilli and basil, and used soy sauce, stock and a little honey for that salty-sweet flavour. I add marmite instead of fish sauce.

It’s simple, filling and easy to adapt depending on what you have in the fridge. I often add green beans, peppers or broccoli for extra fibre and veg too.

Method:

1. Heat a small drizzle of olive oil in a wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for around 3 minutes. Add the chillies and cook for another minute.
2. Turn the heat up high and add the chicken or turkey mince, breaking it up and letting it brown and crisp slightly.
3. Add the honey, soy sauce and fish sauce or marmite. Stir well.
4. Pour in the chicken stock and let it bubble away for a minute or two.
5. Stir through the Thai basil until wilted.
6. Serve with brown rice and any extra veg you fancy.

Approx. 58g protein per serving.

Day 5 of the 5-Day Reset ❤️

Snacking isn’t the problem.
Unbalanced, distracted snacking is.

Today we upgrade it — not remove it.

Try this with your next snack:
• Start with a glass of water
• Add protein if still hungry
• Pair carbs with protein or fat
• Sit down to eat

Why this works:

Balanced snacks steady blood sugar.
Steady blood sugar = fewer crashes, fewer cravings, less “I’ll just grab anything”.

Sitting down signals to your brain that this is intentional — not background eating.

Small shift. More control.

Day 4 of the 5-Day Reset 💛

If your energy crashes, your choices get harder.

Not because you lack willpower.
Because your blood sugar is swinging.

Today we focus on steady fuel.
• Eat within 60–90 minutes of waking
• Try not to leave more than 4–5 hours between meals
• Include protein in your first meal
• Notice your afternoon energy + cravings

Why this works:

Long gaps without food + low protein intake
→ blood sugar dips
→ cortisol rises
→ cravings increase
→ evening overeating becomes more likely

When you fuel consistently, your body feels safer and more regulated.

Stable energy
→ fewer cravings
→ better appetite control
→ easier weight loss

Small shift. Steadier energy.

Day 3 of the 5-Day Reset 💛

How you eat matters just as much as what you eat.

When meals are rushed, distracted or eaten on autopilot, it’s easy to override your hunger cues.

Today, try this with just one meal:
• No screens
• Slow your pace slightly
• Pause halfway and check in with fullness
• Aim to stop at “comfortably satisfied” — not stuffed

This isn’t about eating less.
It’s about eating with awareness.

Why this works:

When you reconnect with hunger and fullness signals:
– cravings settle
– portion sizes regulate naturally
– emotional eating becomes easier to spot

Small awareness → big long-term impact.

Day 2 of the 5-Day Reset 💛

Yesterday we reset your rhythm.
Today we steady your blood sugar.

You don’t need perfect meals.
You need balanced ones.

At one main meal today, aim for:
• Half your plate vegetables
• Palm-size protein
• Fist-size carbs
• Thumb of healthy fats

Why this works:

Balanced meals reduce energy crashes and cravings later on.
When blood sugar is steadier, appetite is steadier.

Steadier appetite → fewer impulsive choices → easier weight loss.

Start with one meal today.
If that feels manageable, try doing the same again tomorrow.

Day 1 of the 5-Day Reset 💛

If your sleep is off, everything feels harder.

More cravings.
Lower energy.
Less motivation.

Today isn’t about perfection.
It’s about creating a simple rhythm your body can rely on.

Tonight:
• Choose a realistic bedtime that allows for enough sleep
• 30 minutes before bed, switch off screens and dim the lights
• Pick one calming wind-down activity (reading, stretching, journalling, a bath)
• Set a wake-up time for tomorrow morning and try to keep your sleep and wake times consistent throughout the reset

Why this works:

Your body runs on a circadian rhythm — a 24-hour internal clock.
Bright light and screens signal “daytime” to your brain, suppressing melatonin.
Dimming lights and choosing gentle activity tells your nervous system it’s safe to slow down.

When sleep timing is inconsistent, hunger hormones, energy levels and cravings become disrupted.
When timing is steady, your body feels more regulated.

Better sleep → better energy → better choices.

Small shift. Big ripple effect.

Today feels like the perfect day to give yourself something.

Not chocolate.
Not flowers.
Not pressure to “be better”.

But a small act of care for your future self 💛

I’m running a free 5-Day Reset starting Monday.

No restriction.
No extremes.
No calorie counting.

Just 5 small, supportive habits to help you feel:
• more in control
• more energised
• less all-or-nothing

This isn’t a diet. It’s a gentle shift.

If you’d like to join us, comment RESET below and I’ll send you the details personally 💌

Let’s build habits you can actually keep.

When motivation drops, it’s usually not a discipline problem —
it’s an energy one.

Dark mornings, cold days and low light all affect mood, appetite and consistency.

This is why small, supportive habits matter more than pushing harder.

Gentle > extreme. Always 💛

Food doesn’t have to be complicated to be nourishing.

This is what food looks like in our house a lot of the time:
• simple ingredients
• hands involved
• meals that work for more than one day

Egg, banana and sweet potato muffins are one of my go-tos — easy to batch cook, naturally sweet, and gentle on little (and big) tummies.

Roast veg in the oven at the same time = lunches and dinners sorted with minimal effort.

And sometimes… it’s just an apple in the playground, eaten slowly, outdoors, with no pressure.

These small, everyday food moments matter. They’re how we build trust with food — not through rules, but through repetition and ease.

If you’re trying to make eating feel simpler (for yourself or your family), this is your reminder that it doesn’t have to be perfect to be supportive.

Lasting change rarely comes from big overhauls. It comes from small, repeatable habits that fit into real life.

When people come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with their health, it’s often not because they don’t know what to do — it’s because they’ve been trying to do too much, too fast.

These are a few gentle habits I regularly encourage with clients.

Nothing extreme. Nothing all-or-nothing. Just small shifts that support consistency, self-awareness, and long-term change.

You don’t need to do them all.
Just choose the one that feels most doable right now and try it this week.

Which one are you drawn to? 💬
Save this for later if it feels helpful.

When someone is using a GLP-1, this is what I focus on first 👇

Not weight.
Not restriction.
Not “eating as little as possible”.

I focus on:
• making sure they’re still nourishing their body
• protecting energy, digestion, and muscle
• building simple habits that fit around reduced appetite

GLP-1s can be incredibly helpful — but appetite suppression alone doesn’t create long-term health or confidence around food.

Support alongside medication is what helps people:
– feel better day to day
– reduce side effects
– maintain results long term

This applies whether you’re using a GLP-1 or not.

Weight loss works best when it’s supported, not forced 💛

🌤️ As the days get lighter, our sleep rhythms often start to reset too.

And that matters more than most people realise — especially for weight loss and metabolic health.

Poor sleep doesn’t just leave you tired.
It affects hunger hormones, blood sugar control, cravings, energy levels… and even how your body stores fat.

When you’re constantly running on empty, your body is in “survival mode” — not “fat-burning mode”.

So if you’ve been doing “all the right things” with food and still feel stuck, sleep might be the missing piece.

Here are a few gentle ways to support better sleep as we move towards spring:

🌙 Keep a regular bedtime and wake time (even at weekends)
🌙 Limit caffeine and alcohol in the evening
🌙 Get daylight early in the day to reset your body clock
🌙 Create a calm wind-down routine (screens off, lights low)
🌙 Aim for a cool, dark, quiet bedroom
You don’t need perfection.

Small, consistent changes add up.

And better sleep = better energy, better food choices, better metabolic balance 💚
