Here’s a little metaphor that I found myself using this week and that I thought you might find helpful.
It’s not unreasonable to want to be safe but what if you never needed the helmet?
What if you needed to slip to learn how to fall and that you won’t automatically get hurt?

There is a fine line between eating well and wellness eating.
They can overlap but because the noise out there is so loud, and because the boundaries are not very clear, it can be easy to slide from wanting to eat well into “wellness eating” and crash land into a full blown eating disorder.
This is because wellness eating is often (but not always, so do calm down) akin to disordered eating, especially when driven by unqualified influencers.
It may have been well intentioned and it may have seemed pretty harmless back in January when everyone else was seemingly avoiding anything remotely fun to atone for their mince pies, but what about now?
Are you feeling better or have you become:
🙋🏻‍♀️More preoccupied with food?
🙋🏽‍♂️More preoccupied with your body image?
🙋🏼‍♀️More rigid around food and exercise?
🙋🏼‍♂️More attached to numbers (calories, steps, reps, macros, etc.)?
🙋🏿‍♀️More isolated from your peers and/or family?
If the answer is yes, then you may want to reconsider your health kick.

I often hear that dairy is inflammatory and that it is the cause of acne. I have lost count of people who have sworn to me that since removing dairy from their diets, their skin has improved. That’s excellent news but is it really because you have stopped eating dairy, or because you started paying more attention to your diet in general (and perhaps filling the dairy gap with fruit and vegetables that are traditionally thought as anti inflammatory)?
If some people might be more sensitive than others to dairy, most of us can handle it without ensuing skin problems.
Ask me to remove cheese, yoghurt and especially butter from my diet and I will become miserable.

You owe nothing to no one. Your body, your choice.
Remember, be who you want to be because those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.

Spoiler alert if you’re just starting on your health journey (and by that I mean restrictive diet): it won’t make you happier, or fix the problem.
That’s because a) no one has ever been happier when they were starving and b) the real problem has nothing to do with food or your body.
Until you uncover (or let yourself put into words) what is really troubling you, the pull towards “bettering yourself” through restriction will always remain.

What you tell yourself matters, so stop being your prime bully. Focus on what’s good and notice how your perspective changes.

Eat the carbs kids, your brain (and the rest of your body) will thank you.

Perhaps we can’t find our way because we try to follow other people’s journeys?
Your recovery is unique and, chances are, you already have all the answers. You just need more time and, perhaps, a Sherpa to show you the different routes.

I’m going to start by saying that I like both. I’m not normally a fan of “alternative” recipes but the tofu mousse is legit. I’ve done it for years (albeit slightly differently), without knowing it was a thing.
Anyway, the TikTok tofu mousse has five ingredients, the classic mousse only four (who cares but I felt I had to say it).
The tofu mousse, per serving, is higher in calories but has less fat. It has more protein but also more sugar.
Protein wise, because that’s what got people really excited about, deep down. We’re talking 8.4g for the tofu pot and 6.4g for the classic pot.
Tofu wins! Yay! Although again, who cares?
2g difference?! What’s that going to do overall?!
Also, it’s a dessert, so treat it like one.
Eat what you like and if you’re making your mousses, make what you have time for.
The end 🐰

Difficult doesn’t mean wrong, it just means difficult. The only way out is through, so keep going.

RED-S is a condition that is relatively straightforward to fix. One needs to reestablish the energy balance, mostly, by increasing food intake and decreasing exercise.
However, before doing that, we must start to talk about it more openly about the condition so that men and boys know that there’s help out there for them too.

My eyes are at risk of flipping inwards they’re rolling so much. At least, I’m not drinking matcha.
