Why Weight Nutrition: Weight Loss Coaching & Online Programmes

07/05/2026

Mindset and motivation can be so simple.

This photo was all the motivation I needed to lose 30kgs.

It was taken when I was living in Japan. When I got the photo developed, a comment was made from a 'friend' when they saw the pic. They said, “Have you noticed that your plate is empty and everyone else still has food on theirs...”

Honestly…how rude!

But the annoying thing was… it was true.

I always ate quickly.
I was always the first to finish.
And if I’m honest, I probably ate more than everyone else too.

That one comment made me really aware of my eating habits, so I put this photo beside my dining table.

Every night after dinner, when I was sitting there thinking:
“Mmmmm… I want more…”

…I would look at this photo and think:
“Maybe not.”
“I’m not even that hungry.”
“I don’t need more.”
I didn’t want to be the biggest friend in my group who always ate the most and finished first.

And it worked. Within one year, I had lost 30kgs. 🥳💥

Over time, I got used to having one plate of food for dinner and feeling satisfied with that.

And apart from pregnancy, I’ve kept that 30kgs off for 25 years now.

It’s amazing how powerful simple visual reminders can be.

If you have a photo that motivates you… put it where you can see it often.
On your fridge.
Beside your dining table.
As your phone wallpaper.

These little mindset hooks are powerful.

🥗 Everyone's talking about growing vegetables to save money. But here's what nobody is saying…
A plate of veggies will NOT keep you full, nourished, or in optimal health
So what should you actually be stocking up on right now - especially if food prices keep climbing?

This is the nutrition conversation nobody else is having right now. 🎙️
👇 Hit the link to listen — and let me know in the comments: how many days of protein do you currently have in your pantry? Be honest! 😄

Forget the veggie garden hype. Nutritionist Sheryl Takayama shares the best budget proteins and healthy fats to stock now for your health, weight, and wallet.

20.2kgs down. No perfection — just consistency.
I've been working with this client for nearly 10 years. She lost the weight, life got hard, lockdown happened, it crept back on - and she came back anyway.
That took guts.

This is what real weight loss looks like. Not a straight line. Not overnight. Just the determination to get on the wagon and keep showing up.

I'm a nutritionist specialising in low carb nutrition for blood sugar balancing and fat loss and this is the kind of result I help my clients achieve every day.

If you're ready to start your own story, my 4-week Foundations of Fat Loss programme kicks off this Monday. Simple, structured and a great way to get momentum going in the right direction again.

A programme designed specifically for the unique needs of over 35's. Weekly meal plans that change each week, to ensure ongoing results.

I had a really interesting conversation with a new client today about the scales, and how this data can help or hinder us when we are on a weight loss journey.
After 25 years on my own maintenance journey and 14 years helping others, I have clear thoughts on the best strategies for weighing.
If you struggle with the scale and want a fresh perspective, check out my podcast episode on this topic here:

Most women don’t need more motivation.
They need a clear plan.

Right now it probably feels like:
- You’re trying to eat “healthy”… but not seeing results
- You start strong… then life gets in the way
- You know you should exercise… but don’t know what works

Now imagine this instead…

In 6 weeks, you could:
✔ Feel stronger and more confident
✔ See real fat loss (without extremes)
✔ Know exactly what to eat each day
✔ Feel back in control again

That’s exactly what we’ve created with the 6-Week Reset & Rebuild.

A simple, structured plan:
• Low-carb nutrition
• Targeted workouts for women over 40
• Full support and accountability

No guesswork. Just results.

We start Monday.

It’s definitely a day for soup and toast!
I use the Keto Store NZ chicken soup and add cottage cheese for protein and a tablespoon of butter for extra fats - and flavour 😍
The Gerry's bread roll adds extra protein too.
