Sunday often means braai- when choosing snacks be on the lookout for little words like- Baked, Fried, Roasted etc
Always choose the option with the least amount of fats in and dont forget to watch the sodium intake too!

Its weekend- If you have some time on your hands, why not make your own home made ice lollies 🩷🧡💛💚🩵

Use fresh fruit, plain yoghurts and sugar free cordials to get creative with colours and flavours

Instead of loads of chocolate, rather opt for a few little gummy sweets.

Jelly sweets still have sugar, but chocolate has sugar and fat

so choose the lesser of the 2 evils and remember to limit portion size

Portion sizes Matter!!!

Most people will end up finishing the bag of chips no matter what the size!

So when you doing your shopping rather buy the smallest bags available to help limit overall quantity🗯🗯🗯

Instead of grabbing a bag of crisps, rather grab some popcorn.

This is lower in calories and higher in fibre🍿🍿🍿

We still hitting some high temperatures this holiday.

If you dont have time to make your own healthy Ice Lollies, have a look for these sugar free options 🍧

Instead of stocking up on Fizzy drinks this holidays, why dont you encourage your children to rather grab some water.

It is so important to keep our children hydrated, especially when they are busy and active🇽🇰🇽🇰💦

Holidays are starting soon and with this come all the requests and cries from our children for treats and Take Aways 🍟🍕🍿🍦

So I am going to encourage you to get ahead of the game and already plan your Friday night treat.... Why not BUILD A BURGER at home.

🍔Doing home made burgers allows you to cater to everyone's taste
🍔You are able to cut back on hidden fats- No extra butters, sauces, fried patty's etc
🍔You can increase the fibre by using a wholewheat roll and loading it with veg and salad

Kidneys are organs we don't really pay much attention to until it's too late.
They are vital organs in our body, so look after them by following a healthy diet.

If you are already struggling with your kidneys, reach out and let a Registered Dietitian help you ❇️

Sometimes we become easily disheartened.
We need to remember that no matter what the goal, there are always going to be difficulties and we need to learn to adapt and just do our best no matter what.
Its the consistency of trying that is most important.
NEVER GIVE UP💪

🤱This week we celebrate the wonderful act of breastfeeding. 🤱

🤍I am fully aware that not everyone has the ability or opportunity to breastfeed and at the end of the day fed is best.

Did you wake up this morning only to realise you spent your evening up late and eating.
Is this happening more frequently?
Maybe its time to start looking at why this is happening?

Start today with one little thing you feel manageable and before you know it the domino effect would have set in and you will be well on your way to the healthier you🐛🦋

The mind is such a powerful tool if we just use it wisely. 🧠
I often find as soon as we focus on what we can't have, we feel deprived and its suddenly all we want. 🤯

Try and change your' I cant have' to I Choose not to'
Give yourself the feeling of power over your choices and feel empowered🤩

Over the last while I have had many conversations with patients on how hard their journeys are. It's true, there are challenging times and it's not always easy for most people, irrespective of their conditions or goals.
One thing we need to remember is to take one step at a time.
Its a journey, it doesn't have to happen overnight.
Focus on the positives and all you have already achieved and you will get there🏆

20/05/2024

Something to think about as we start the week.
Encourage your children to eat all the colours of the rainbow to ensure a variety of nutrients 🍏🍋🍊🍎🍌🍉🍇🍍🍒🫐🍓

🌟Most important of all- Lead by example 🌟
