What’s your statement?

I fear I’ve peaked. 😩
Ever since I tasted Moro Pistachio Cream, nothing else compares.
It might genuinely be the most heavenly thing I’ve ever tasted… and now I’m ruined for life. MORO gelato

Viral Woolies rotisserie chicken salad… but made low calorie to support the calorie deficit that helped me lose 45kg 👏🏼

~250 calories per portion
24g protein
Big volume. Big flavour. Smart swaps.

💡This is how you diet without feeling like you’re dieting.
I cooked my rice in the Rice Cooker using the CarbReduce cycle.

If you’ve fallen into the trap of believing the conspiracies, clickbait and “skinny jab” hysteria online about GLP-1 meds… you NEED to listen to this podcast episode.

🎧 What’s The Difference? (Woolies Food Podcast) — the Ozempic / GLP-1 episode is one of the most sensible, science-based conversations I’ve heard in a long time.

Here’s what people are getting wrong:

✨ GLP-1s are not “new”
GLP-1 was discovered in the 1980s, with human research building through the 1990s.
The first GLP-1 medication was approved in 2005 (for Type 2 diabetes) — and Ozempic (semaglutide) was approved in 2017.

✨ They weren’t created for weight loss
They were originally developed for Type 2 diabetes — weight loss was a (very helpful) side effect.

✨ They’re not “cheating”
They’re peptide-based medicines that mimic a hormone your body already uses.
This is healthcare, not a moral test.

✨ They’re being used for WAY more than weight
We’re talking blood sugar, insulin resistance, heart risk, fatty liver… and yes — emerging research around binge eating and addictive behaviours too.

✨ For many Type 2 diabetics, they’re becoming a preferred option before insulin
Not because insulin is bad — but because GLP-1s can treat the underlying metabolic dysfunction with added benefits.

If you’ve ever judged someone for using GLP-1s… or felt ashamed for needing them… this episode will reset your brain in the best way.

Go listen. Then come back and tell me what part finally brought you back to science. 👀

BERRY COULIS + VANILLA PROTEIN PUDDING 🍓🤍 (meal prep friendly!)

Eat on repeat is one of the biggest strategies I used to lose 45kg — and this is one of my weekly breakfast preps.

You guys LOVED my chia seed mango pudding… but a lot of you wanted a lower calorie option, so here she is 😮‍💨

Makes 4 servings

Per serving: ±99 cals | 11.5g protein | ±10g carbs | ±1.7g fat

Ingredients

Chia base:

Chia seeds (your usual amount per serving)

1/3 cup low fat milk per serving (or milk of choice)

Protein mix:

1 scoop protein powder

6 tbsp fat free yogurt

2 tsp sugar-free vanilla syrup

Berry coulis:

1 cup frozen berries

Squeeze of fresh lemon juice

2 tsp sugar-free vanilla syrup

To finish:

A few fresh berries (optional)

How to prep

🍓Chia seeds first, then milk (this helps prevent clumping). Mix well.

🫐Blend protein powder + Greek yogurt + 2 tsp syrup until smooth.

🍓Add to the chia mixture and mix again.

🫐Berry coulis: frozen berries into a pot, roughly mash, add lemon juice + 2 tsp syrup and simmer until saucy.

🍓Portion into 4 jars, spoon coulis on top, add a few fresh berries, and refrigerate overnight.

Breakfast is ready‼️

💾Save this for your next meal prep.

RESPECTFULLY: no matter how you overcome the disease of obesity, there’s no moral high ground. Different tools. Same win. With love, from me and my GLP-1

From peeling disaster to wearable again 🙃
Flocked Vinyl is a velvety cool-peel lifesaver, hides old imprints beautifully, and feels so good once it’s pressed properly.

Alcohol is the silent fat loss saboteur 😅
High calories, lower willpower, chaotic cravings, trash sleep.
I’m not judging you — I’m just telling you the truth I didn’t want to hear either. 🫶

I didn’t realise how many of you love an unboxing… so here’s one of the biggest ones I’ve ever done. 📦✨
What started as “should I even film this?” turned into me squealing over product drops I’m genuinely excited to use — from upgrades I’ve been needing for ages to gadgets that might finally stop me from burning the house down 😭🍚🔥

This is also a little reminder that the best partnerships come from playing the long game. Real relationships, real trust, and working with people you’ve grown with over years — not just chasing the cheque.
