Hey guys!

I firstly just want to apologise for being MIA in recent months. Life has been lifeing! However, I’ve come on here to let you know that I’m officially immersing myself into the world of nutrition FULL TIME 🥳 some of you know that I’ve been in limbo trying to navigate a career change this past year but I will now be leaving the world of marketing behind (to some degree!) and working as a full time Nutritionist!

But this means I will only be able to coach online on Saturdays. So if you’re interested in booking in with me, slide into my DMs and I will send over a pre-consultation form x

Kay has been an absolute dream to work with. She had a goal right from the get-go and her determination, even throughout the festive period, has been amazing and she’s changed her mindset surrounding portion sizes and she’s now fitting back into her favourite clothes and feeling amazing 🤩 what a way to start 2024!

If you’re thinking about getting started on your weight loss journey and don’t know where to begin, DM me today and I can send over a pre-consultation form x

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a relaxing break with your loved ones over the festive period and had lovely NYE celebrations ✨

It’s that time of year again when everyone is making resolutions and goals for the year ahead. The two most popular resolutions are to improve diet and to exercise more so you will no doubt be seeing a lot of adverts like WeightWatchers, Slimming World, Jane Plan, etc.

These may sound enticing when you see these companies pop up on your televisions or on social media but unfortunately, their processes just aren’t sustainable long-term or evidence-based. I mean, who wants to live their life according to how many SYNS they’re allowed to eat in a day? 🤔

Don’t get me wrong, having a quick fix for weight loss would be incredible but these companies shouldn’t base success of weight loss on an inhumane rewards scheme or demonisation of foods (that you know you enjoy and continue to crave during a weight loss phase that you will inevitably go back to when you’ve lost the weight!). Instead, going into a steady caloric deficit whilst eating the foods you enjoy and your family members not being terrified of a ravenous monster sounds much more appealing, right? 😂

DM me ‘HNY’ if you’d like to get started and start 2024 as you mean to go on 🥳

‘Temptation bundling’, ‘habit stacking’… You’ve probably seen these terms floating around on socials as of late.

They basically mean you can start to incorporate habits that you may not enjoy as much alongside the more enticing habits that you have already formed (knowingly or unknowingly). This is a great way to build up positive habits to overcome the procrastination and lack of productivity that naturally comes with doing something that you’ve kept putting off. Instead, you’ve shoved it to the bottom of your to-do list because “you’ll get round to it another day” but with all the will in the world never happens - does this sound familiar?

So if you’re someone who needs an incentive to tick that mundane thing off your list, then temptation bundling might be for you. Try making a table with two columns:
1) Habits, behaviours or ‘temptations’ that you WANT to form but find yourself putting off
2) The pleasurable activities or tasks that you already enjoy that offer instant gratification or know you would enjoy

Then once these are written down, try and see if there are any habits that can be linked. This could be listening to your favourite podcast whilst doing the burpees that you’ve challenged yourself to complete, turning your kitchen into a dance floor whilst you meal prep for the week or doing a sprint on your exercise bike whilst your favourite reality tv show is on in the background.

Don’t let procrastination be the thief of your time, you might just accomplish that thing you’ve always wanted to!

I know how tricky it is at this time of year with budgeting and planning for Christmas so how does a cheeky November offer sound?

The enjoyment of Christmas and managing personal finances doesn’t have to stop you from achieving your goals, whatever that may be. The skills that you will take away from our consultations will leave you feeling confident, without feeling like you need to tackle weight management beyond the 3 months!

The menopause is a time in a woman’s life that can come with a lot of issues and this is after years of having to deal with periods 🩸

As well as the physical implications involved, the peri-menopause can cause low self-esteem, anxiety and depression in some females which can be mentally debilitating and can also contribute to weight management and resistance training being less of a priority.

Amongst environmental factors, weight gain can occur due to a decrease in NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) and EEE (Exercise Energy Expenditure) and perhaps an increase in appetite, cortisol and water retention.

Post-menopausal symptoms will mean that bone health and muscle mass will be affected due to loss of oestrogen. HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) replaces the oestrogen that your body stops making during menopause and can prevent conditions like Osteoporosis. Also, evidence shows that resistance training can help to manage muscle health and make improvements over time.

It’s important to remember that weight gain DOESN’T equal failure and trying to have a flexible mindset when it comes to food is also key. Your body is already going through so much so eat the foods that you enjoy and don’t punish yourself by removing them from your life 🫶🏼

If you’re currently struggling through the menopause, contact me at hello@rachelwalkernutrition.co.uk or give me a call on +44 (0) 7596 130623 and we can discuss your options.

You may (or may not) have seen this term being used more frequently, especially in the media. Don’t get me wrong, being an evidence-based practitioner myself, it makes me happy that this term is being recognised in the industry. It definitely gives more robust stature in a very fast-paced and internet-heavy world where anything can be called a fact without doing your own digging. But there are also many pitfalls associated with this, including those who are mistreating the term.

Some may equate lack of evidence with poor efficacy, therefore completely ruling it out altogether and searching for a quick solution elsewhere (which let’s face it, is very unlikely to be sustained long-term). Enter the quacks and scammers claiming to offer ‘the best solution’ and using ‘evidence-based’ as their mantra when they have absolutely no idea 🤨

With that being said, just because there is little to no evidence on a science-based or nutrition matter, doesn’t mean to say that there won’t be in the future - just don’t expect me to recommend that to you until I have good reason to, regardless of whether it’s trending on TikTok or such.

These people are not only misusing the term but they are also dwindling people’s pockets along with their trust in practitioners who genuinely want to offer their care and support AND always keep up to date with the latest scientific research, which I very much doubt they are doing. I’m so fortunate that I am surrounded with great peers and professionals who are like-minded and looking to focus on ‘evidence-based’ being applied correctly and only with good intent.
