Whether you are looking to improve your blood sugars, achieve some weight loss or generally feel a bit healthier and increase your plant based fibres and proteins, it can be tedious thinking of ideas.

Dont over think it. There is lots you can do with food.

Overall nutrition with plenty of vitamins and minerals is vital for overall health- they make you FEEL good too which is also very important.

Carbs are not the enemy, but too much of the 'refined type' such as white rices, white breads etc can cause high sugar spikes = insulin production.

Dont forget insulin is a fat storing hormone. We dont want to produce or need too much of this. High fibre and high protein meals can reduce this.

Increase vegetables and pulses such as chick peas above. They are filling. Make them flavoursome just like the ones in this post.

Dont over complicate it. Its not expensive. Its not time consuming. Its just different.

If you aim to be perfect you will set yourself up to fail.

Build better habits. Maintainable habits.

◽️Walk more if you can.
◽️Swap an ultra processed snack for a fruit.
◽️Reduce the 'refined carb' portion on your plate for more vegetables.
◽️Start a short home workout - 10/15 minutes is better than nothing.
◽️Plan your meals.

Be consistent.

It is the consistency that will work long term. NOT what you cut out and deprive yourself of for 4-6 weeks then return to old habits.

Nothing is off limits if you have a balance.

Build better habits. Not perfection. Own goals. Own journey.

Your goals matter. You are important 💛 you can do it.

Massive congratulations to my lovely sister who is now a fully qualified in L3 sports massage and training for her L4.

She has achieved so much in the last 12 months. I may be bias but I am so proud of her but I am also so excited for what this new journey will also add to the future 🥰❤️

This is a great example of someone who does not always believe in herself/have self confidence but has come a LONG way in so many ways recently - she also deserves this.

She is not currently taking bookings but will be in the near future so keep her in mind 🥰

Sports massages and the techniques used are fantastic for recovery, reduced muscle tension/tightness and injury prevention. They have been a god send to myself for so many things!!!

A day in the life 🌟

A simple day but fulfilling and rewarding 🤍

Every hour accounted for - an example of how people who workout regularly dont have bags of time - we MAKE time

We are all busy, we all have different priorities but if you want something to work or you want to make a change you do have to make that happen.

Years ago I wouldnt have dreamt about getting up at around 5am to do a workout before a long day like that - but was i happy in myself back then? no. Now it is part of my life, my day is much more productive, but it took years of building that habit. There is also nowhere else in my day to make it happen - as you can see from this post.

No1 is perfect and not everyday is perfect. Just aim to be better than you used to be, thats all 🤍

Consistent effort WORKS

Keep. Showing. Up.

Just like this wonderful lady is doing. Working hard, following the plan. Making a conscious effort to make better food choices but also not completely depriving herself.

These results are impressive.

Results happen when you work for them, and they stay long term when you build LIFE LONG habits that you can maintain.

We have already come so far in strength and weight loss and she deserves these great results so much ❤️

Just like everyone does - everyone deserves to feel good about themselves. It is not about looking skinny or super lean and muscly, its about a healthier lifestyle, longevity, SELF LOVE and self confidence ❤️👌

You. Can. Do. It.

Stick. With. It. Its not always easy. But unfortunately in life things dont come easy. But it is ALWAYS worth the effort.

Massive well done to this lovely lady on her incredible Progress so far. I cant wait to see what else we can achieve ❤️🥰🫶

Dont forget...

Not everyone in the gym is there to gain minimal body fat, have visible muscles and grow glutes.

Some are there to be healthier, fitter, to gain a better posture, stronger muscles and bones to protect them as they age. Some are there simply because they want to be.

Whatever the reason - it is important to them 💛

Exercise is vital.

Diabetes (no matter what type) is not one size fits all

It is far from this.

Blood sugar control is difficult. In all types of diabetes.

A daily battle.

A lot is to be considered when struggling with diabetes management.

This is far more than JUST what is being consumed with diet.

Let's remove the stigma from diabetes 🫶

**Typo and it meant 26g fibre 😆 every g matters

Plan your meals

Eat protein with every meal

Eat less refined carbs and swap them for natural grains such as quinoa and bulgar wheat - this equals less insulin production, more fibre intake, less sugar spikes, less fat storage and more satiety

Eating well is actually very tasty and there is tonnes of options

Use seasonings, make food tasty.

I hate salad and you will never see me eating one. You dont have to live on anything you dont like.

Think outside the box be creative.

Think clean eating.

Remember that meeting goals and making change doesnt happen over night.

Unfortunately it means showing up - when you dont want to. Meeting bumps in the road, challenges and difficult times - but that is what builds resilience.

It doesnt come easy, but it doesnt happen over night.

Its important to do it when you dont want to - this is different to knowing when you need rest or take time out, its recognising and putting those new habits into your daily routine - no matter what they are.

It might be the simplest goal which seems small to someone else, but it is STILL important. Do it.

Tomorrow is Monday, a perfect time to start the week with a positive move 💛

Keep. Showing. Up.

Your health is the wealthiest thing you will EVER invest in.

Diabetes is very misunderstood.

Blood sugars are not always only related to food. They are related to hormones and other things such as stress/sleep (many others).

If you have diabetes, did you know about the dawn phenomenon?

This is real and may be the reason why you are racking your brains wondering why your levels are high in the morning 👍

Diabetes is not easy. It is a daily battle no matter what type.

Support those with diabetes 💙
