Client Success Story TIME! A 2025 Wellness Warrior!

This 51-year-old woman started her journey struggling with emotional eating, gut sensitivity, low energy levels, poor sleep, anxiety, and high stress.

Her first year went very well, with a weight loss of 18 kg. However, over the following six months she experienced an emotional setback and regained some weight. Importantly, she never stopped attending follow-up sessions.

By shifting the focus away from strict dieting and extremes, and instead returning to balance, consistency, and realistic habits, she found her way back. The goal was never perfection, but steady progress — aiming for 1–2 kg weight loss per month.

Today, her results speak for themselves:
• 23 kg total weight loss
• 19 kg fat loss
• 13% body fat reduction
• Visceral fat reduced by 50%

Most importantly, she has learned that this is not about dieting, but about building sustainable habits she can maintain for life.

Client Feedback:
“My journey with Izette started in August 2023. Despite many emotional challenges (as an emotional eater), I never gave up on my weight-loss journey.
The results of persevering, starting again every day, and not waiting for Monday to begin, can now be seen.

My advice if you are feeling discouraged: Don’t give up. Consistency wins. Thank you Izette for always being there for me, for your professional advice and motivation.”

One of the biggest myths we hear often as Dietitians is “I’d love to eat healthier, but it’s just too expensive.”

Here’s the truth:

❌ Constant takeaways
❌ Wasted groceries
❌ Supplements you don’t need
❌ Trend diets that don’t last

That is what gets expensive.

1. A dietitian helps you:
2. Use everyday, affordable foods
3. Plan smarter (less waste, more value)
4. Improve health before medical costs increase
5. Get results without fancy products or extremes

Good nutrition isn’t about luxury foods — it’s about knowing what works for YOU. If you want health that’s sustainable and budget-friendly, we’re here to help. Book your consultation on www.izettefaul.co.za

Many clients tell us: “I wish I came sooner.”

Why? Because one dietitian appointment can help you:

✔ Understand your body better
✔ Reduce fatigue and cravings
✔ Improve digestion and energy
✔ Prevent long-term health issues
✔ Save money on trial-and-error solutions

Nutrition isn’t just about weight, it’s about how you feel every day. If something feels “off” with your health, that’s your body asking for attention — not punishment.

Invest in knowledge. Invest in prevention. Invest in yourself.

January can feel never-ending and after the holidays, wallets often feel it too. The good news? Healthy eating doesn’t have to be expensive.

Enter this underrated, budget-smart hero: Fish Cakes!!

Maybe not everyone’s first choice — but packed with nutrition and BIG on value.

Why this recipe works in January:
✔️ Affordable ingredients
✔️ High in protein
✔️ Rich in omega-3s for heart & brain health
✔️ Oats add fibre and keep you fuller for longer
✔️ Make once, eat twice (hello leftovers!)

Perfect for lunches, dinners, or freezer-friendly meals when the month feels extra long.

Budget-Friendly Fish Cakes (Makes 12)

You’ll need:
1 x 410g tin pilchards in tomato sauce
400 g poached white fish (e.g. hake)
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped or grated
30 ml fresh parsley, finely chopped
375 ml oats
2 eggs
30 ml oil, canola

As an alternative you can substitute the Hake with another 1 tin of Pilchards.

Method:
Remove pilchards from the tomato sauce and flake. Reserve the sauce.
Flake the poached white fish and mix it with the pilchards.
Add the onion, parsley, oats and some of the sauce from the pilchards to make a firm batter.
Mix in the eggs, but be careful not to overmix.
Shape the mixture into 12 fish cakes or burger patties, or 24 mini fish balls.
Heat 15 ml oil in a large frying pan and fry half the fish cakes quickly, as one batch over medium heat. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and quickly fry the second batch of fish cakes.

Dietitian tip: Pilchards are one of the most nutrient-dense and affordable proteins available. Don’t underestimate them!

Wishing all learners a great start to the new school — new routines, new goals, and lots of learning ahead!

Practical Lunchbox Idea: Pack a cheese stick or cheese cubes, a small whole-wheat roll or crackers, and an easy-to-eat fruit like a naartjie or apple slices. No spills, no mess — just simple fuel to keep energy and focus steady through the day.

Healthy school lunches don’t need to be complicated — consistency matters more than perfection.

This year, forget “New Year, new me” let’s focus on New Year, Know Your Body!
Your body is unique, and real progress begins with understanding what’s inside — not just what you see on the outside.

That’s where an InBody Scan comes in.

Unlike stepping on a scale, an InBody scan gives you a full body composition breakdown — including muscle mass, body fat, body water, and how lean and fat are distributed across each part of your body. It doesn’t rely on age and gender averages, so the results reflect your body alone.

An InBody scan gives you:

1. Total body fat vs. skeletal muscle mass
2. Segmental analysis (arms, legs, trunk)
3. Body water balance
4. Precise, personalised metrics to guide your health and nutrition plan
5. A baseline to track real progress over time without guessing

Because your health journey shouldn’t be based on weight alone — it deserves clarity, not confusion.

Start the year empowered with knowledge and a plan that really works for you.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and hopeful New Year!

When you’re on the go during the holidays, snacks that include protein and healthy fats are your best friend. They help keep energy steady, hunger under control, and cravings at bay, even on busy travel or beach days.

Here are a few smart, travel-friendly snack ideas to pack:

🥜 Trail mix – Nuts, seeds, a little dried fruit (and optional dark chocolate for balance).
🍎 Nut butter snack packs – Enjoy with apple slices, rice cakes, or celery sticks.
🥚 Hard-boiled eggs – A quick protein hit (just keep them chilled).
🧀 Mini cheese portions – Babybel, string cheese, or feta cubes in a cooler bag.
🌱 Roasted chickpeas – Crunchy, satisfying, high in protein, and easy to pack.

Easy Recipe: Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas

Ingredients:
• 1 tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Pinch of salt & black pepper

Method:

Pat chickpeas dry with a paper towel.

Toss with olive oil and spices.

Roast at 200°C for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden and crunchy.

Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Perfect for snacking, topping salads, or packing for road trips.

Dietitian tip: Pair protein with fibre and healthy fats to stay fuller for longer especially during holiday routines.

Enjoy your holidays and feel good doing it.

Hot days and busy schedules call for snacks that actually work for your body, not just quick fixes. The key? Fresh, hydrating, and balanced options that keep energy steady and cravings in check.

Here are a few dietitian-approved summer snack ideas (perfect for a cooler bag with ice packs):

🍉 Fruit skewers or fruit salad cups
Watermelon, pineapple, grapes, and berries = hydration plus antioxidants.

🥒 Veggie sticks with dip
Cucumber, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, or sugar snap peas with hummus, tzatziki, or cottage cheese for protein.

🥗 Mini salad jars
Quinoa or couscous with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, feta, and a little olive oil & lemon dressing on the side.

🌯 Cold wraps
Whole-wheat wraps filled with chicken, tuna, or chickpeas, avocado, and crisp veggies — filling but still light.

Dietitian tip: Pair fibre + protein to stay fuller for longer and avoid energy dips.

Small, smart choices add up — even on holiday.

As the year winds down, remember that rest is also part of good nutrition. A calmer body digests better, craves less, and makes healthier choices more naturally.

If you need support staying balanced through the festive season, we’re here to guide you with simple, sustainable nutrition plans.
