5 things you’ll never find in my kitchen (as a nutritionist)
1. Refined oils
High in omega 6 unstable when heated and deeply inflammatory.
They slow fat loss at a cellular level.
Result: stubborn fat, water retention, dull skin, slower skin repair.
2. Ready made sauces & dressings
Hidden sugars, seed oils & preservatives = silent inflammation.
Result: puffiness, breakouts that don’t respond to skincare, dullness from glycation.
3. Poor quality protein powders
More protein ≠ better body.
Excess, low-quality protein ferments in the gut and spikes stress hormones.
Result: bloating, hormonal acne, weight plateaus. Stick to real natural protein sources.
4. Bad carbs
White bread, biscuits, crackers, breakfast cereals.
They spike blood sugar leading to higher insulin & this causes fat storage & inflammation.
Result: skin flare ups and stalled progress.
5. Ultra processed foods
Instant noodles, frozen meals, chips, flavoured snacks, packaged desserts.
Result: inflammation overload, poor detox, tired skin.
Never forget - your skin, hormones and body composition are built in the kitchen❤️
