Good morning & Happy New 2026, Foodies! ✨🍽️

This page has been a little quiet for far too long. The end of 2025 was epic — so much happening in such a short time! But I’m stepping into 2026 with an open mind and a grateful heart. ❤️

This year, I’ll try to share more recipes, tips, and little food moments from my kitchen. Over the past months, so many of you told me how my tips and recipes helped you make more mindful food choices. It means the world to me, and I’m truly grateful that I could help, even from afar. 🙏🙏

Wishing you all a 2026 filled with happy moments, good health, and delicious food. ❣️❣️

Lately, I’ve been reflecting deeply on my own food choices. This is the time of year when invitations come every two days, and celebrations seem endless. And in our Mauritian culture, food isn’t just food — it’s love, tradition, and connection.

But let’s be honest… you won’t always find the healthiest plate on the table unless you’re surrounded by truly health-conscious people.

So at the end of the day, your plate depends on you.

🍽️ Do you want to eat as much as you can?
🍽️ Do you prefer tasting a little bit of everything?
🍽️ Or maybe sharing your plate with someone feels better?

The same goes for drinks.
Are you really thirsty every 15 minutes… or are you just enjoying the free flow?

This season is beautiful, festive, and full of joy — but our health does not take a holiday.

As we celebrate the end of this year, let’s remember:

✨ Mindfulness is a choice.
✨ Balance is a habit.
✨ Your body is your home — protect it, even during the festivities.

A small handful of dried fruits and nuts can be just as comforting as a heavy plate. Tiny choices add up.
Enjoy the celebrations, but let your health remain your priority — today, tomorrow, and into the new year. ❤️

✨ Nourish Before You Garnish ✨

I always remind my community that a nutritive plate is far more important than a beautiful plate. A dish doesn’t need to be fancy or aesthetic to fuel your body with what it truly needs.

Last night’s dinner was the perfect reminder of that:

🍆 Baked eggplant with tomato sauce & mozzarella
🥦 Cauliflower gratin blended with grated pumpkin
🌶️ Grilled bell peppers

All fragrantly seasoned with oregano, thyme, garlic, ginger, a touch of olive oil and a little butter.

This simple, colourful combination offered:
✔️ Fiber for digestion
✔️ Antioxidants for cellular health
✔️ Healthy fats for hormone balance
✔️ A good balance of vitamins & minerals
✔️ A comforting, satisfying meal

Often, the most nourishing plates are not “Instagram perfect”—they’re wholesome, balanced, and made with intention.

So next time you cook, focus on building a plate that supports your wellbeing. Beauty fades… but nourishment stays with you. 💛

🌍✨ World Diabetes Day — 14th November 2025 ✨🌍

Today, we join the global community in celebrating World Diabetes Day, a date that also marks the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, who, along with Charles Best, co-discovered insulin in 1922 — a breakthrough that changed millions of lives.

According to the International Diabetes Federation, the prevalence of diabetes in Mauritius in 2024 was 20.1%.

Across Mauritius, countless campaigns, NGOs, and awareness workshops continue to do incredible work educating the public on diabetes prevention and management. But awareness must go hand-in-hand with action.

As a dietitian, I want to remind you that diabetes prevention and management is not just about cutting sugar or avoiding rice. It goes far beyond that.
It is about adopting a balanced lifestyle:

✔️ Eating wholesome, balanced meals
✔️ Adding fiber-rich vegetables to every plate
✔️ Moving your body regularly
✔️ Prioritizing sleep and stress management
✔️ Staying consistent with medical follow-ups

Managing blood glucose is not a one-day effort. It is a lifetime routine, shaped by mindful, sustainable habits.

Let this day inspire you to take one step toward better health — for yourself, your family, and your community. 💙

Hey foodies! Eating to support your health and reduce inflammation doesn’t have to be complicated—in fact, it’s easier than you think! 🍎🥦

We are surrounded by local, natural anti-inflammatory foods—colourful vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Every meal is an opportunity to add nourishing foods rather than just cutting things out.

Why adopting an anti-inflammatory diet matters:

👉Supports a healthy weight naturally

👉Helps balance hormones

👉Keeps your gut happy and digestion smooth

👉Protects your heart and overall health

👉Can even help your skin glow

Eating this way is simple, sustainable, and delicious. Your body thrives on it—one colourful plate at a time! 🥗✨

✨ Happy Diwali, Foodies! ✨

Diwali may be over, but those leftover sweets in the fridge are still calling our names! 😋

Remember: our blood glucose levels take at least 2 hours to return to normal after eating sweets. And let’s be honest—yesterday’s celebrations may have caused our blood sugar to peak repeatedly.

Will this affect your HbA1c?
Yes, it might, if high sugar intake continues. Regular overconsumption can increase your risk of developing diabetes.

Tips to manage post-Diwali sweets:

👉Limit portion sizes – enjoy a little, don’t overdo it.

👉Stay hydrated – water helps your body process sugar.

👉Balance your meals – pair sweets with fiber and protein to slow glucose spikes.

Take care, celebrate smart, and keep your health in check! 💛

🌿 Remember these? The good old mulberries! 🍇

As a kid, I could spend hours under the mulberry tree — hands stained red, clothes a mess, but heart full of joy. Those freshly plucked, juicy mulberries were pure nature’s candy. 🍬

Today, mulberry trees have become so rare… and honestly, the frozen ones can never compare to the sweet, plump freshness of the real thing.

This humble fruit isn’t just delicious — it’s packed with antioxidants, fiber, and nutrients that support your health in so many ways:
✨ Help reduce inflammation
✨ Support blood sugar control
✨ Improve cholesterol balance

The best part? 🌱 It’s an easy-to-maintain plant that gives you so much in return. Maybe it’s time we bring back those childhood trees — for our health and for the memories. 💚

🥄 Let’s be honest… we’ve all been there.

You start a new diet, full of motivation. You cut out your favorite foods, eat the bare minimum, and tell yourself this time will be different.

But two weeks later, you’re exhausted, frustrated, and craving everything you swore off.

And slowly… you go back to your old habits.

Sounds familiar? You’re not alone.

Here’s what I want you to understand 👇

Dieting isn’t supposed to be short-term. It’s not a punishment or a quick fix.
It’s about creating habits that make you feel good — and stay with you for life.

Take small, realistic steps.
Add more veggies to your plate 🥦.
Drink enough water 💧.
Listen to your body, not trends.

My parents taught me this early on — vegetables were never up for debate at home, and hydration was just part of life.
Those simple lessons encouraged me to eat well at a really young age.

And let’s not forget — this isn’t just about weight loss.
It’s for those managing diabetes, high cholesterol, PCOS, or simply wanting to eat well for better health.

Because good nutrition isn’t temporary — it’s your lifelong investment.

Start small. Stay consistent.
Because the real “diet” is the one you can live with — and pass on to the next generation. ❤️

We Mauritians are foodies — and that’s not a bad thing!
But problems start when we eat whatever we want, whenever we want.

Most of the time, when patients talk about their struggle with weight loss, it’s because they want instant results.

Remember — even medication takes time to work!

When you cut food too quickly just to see fast results, here’s what happens:

1️⃣ You get cranky
2️⃣ You feel tired
3️⃣ You give up

If you’ve tried dieting several times over the years and still haven’t built a healthy lifestyle, it’s a sign something needs to change.

Protein Intake: Quality Matters 🥚🥜🍲

Here’s a rough example: a person weighing 60 kg needs about 48 g of protein (based on 0.8 g/kg).

Remember protein needs depend on gender and body weight.

If someone tells you to eat 5 eggs a day to increase protein — that’s not the best advice.

Relying on one protein rich ingredient means missing out on a variety of nutrients your body needs.

Some avoid egg yolks thinking it’s healthier — because yolks are high in cholesterol. While that is true, removing yolks also removes valuable nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, and B12, as well as minerals like selenium.

Combining protein sources — legumes, eggs, oats, nuts — gives you not only protein but also fiber, iron, vitamins, and minerals essential for your health.

Protein is important — but variety is key. 🥗💪

Hello Foodies,

Today marks the beginning of the 10 days of fasting for our Hindu foodies. 🌺

To make this journey easier, I’ve created a 10-day meal plan filled with practical and nutritious ideas.

As a working devotee myself, I understand time constraints — I often repeat my dinner for lunch the next day. You’ll also find some special options included for those observing no-salt fasting days.

You can also share your meal ideas in the comments — let’s inspire each other this Navratri!

Wishing you all a Happy Navratri ✨
May these days bring you peace, devotion, and a blissful week ahead. 🌸

Weight loss is not the same for everyone.

For some, adopting a healthy diet shows results quickly.

For others, diet needs to be paired with exercise to see progress.

And for some, the journey is more complex due to hormonal imbalance, environmental stress, or habits that are harder to change.

That’s why the key is not to rush but to focus on one change at a time.
👉 Start with something simple: have breakfast instead of skipping it.

As a dietitian, I personally get hungry within an hour of waking up — and fueling my body early helps me feel energized and balanced.

Remember, your journey is unique. Respect your pace, and start with one step. 🌱
