As a weight loss dietitian I know that long-term results don’t come from perfection — they come from small habits that you can repeat even when life’s busy.
I don’t follow strict “rules,” but these 5 things are my daily anchors. They keep my energy steady, my mindset clear and my relationship with food balanced.
1️⃣ I eat meals that BALANCE protein, fibre and satisfaction. These are meals that keep me full for hours and stop the grazing cycle. I aim for protein, plants and something I genuinely enjoy at each meal (hello dark chocolate!)
2️⃣ I WALK outside every day — no matter how short.
Fresh air resets my mind. It clears stress, supports digestion and helps me think straight before reacting (to a craving or emotion)
3️⃣ I PAUSE when I reach for a snack — Just a few deep breaths or asking “what do I really need right now?” helps me reach the solution. Sometimes the answer is food, sometimes it’s rest or space.
4️⃣ I protect my SLEEP. If I’m tired, I crave more sugar, snack more often, and lose motivation. 7–8 hours of solid sleep is my real “fat loss hack.”
5️⃣ I choose SELF-COMPASSION over self-criticism.
Guilt , shame and regret do not create behaviour change but kindness and awareness do.
SAVE this post as a reminder that small habits matter more than perfection ❤️
