L-Carnitine. Fat-burning hero or just another hype supplement? 💊🔥

If weight loss is your goal, L-Carnitine might support your journey, but it’s not a magic fix 💊

Here’s what it actually does 👇
🚀 Acts like a shuttle, helping your body move fat into cells to be burned for energy
💪 May improve exercise performance and recovery
🧠 May support brain and energy metabolism
🔥 Can enhance fat oxidation (aka help your body burn fat more efficiently)

BUT it works best when paired with good nutrition, movement, and sleep.

💡 It’s a Group B supplement, meaning there’s promising research, but it’s not essential for everyone.

If you’re curious about whether it’s right for you, or how to build a realistic weight loss plan that actually works. Get in touch with us to book a 1:1 consult.🍋

October is here, the days are getting warmer, and wine nights start moving from the couch to the patio🍷☀️

But have you ever wondered how much wine it actually takes to gain weight?

Here’s the breakdown👇
➡️ 1 glass of wine = ±125 calories
➡️ You’d need 56+ glasses (without burning it off) to gain 1kg of fat

The catch?
🍷 Wine lowers inhibitions → more snacking
🥱 Disrupts sleep → cravings spike
🔥 Slows metabolism → harder to burn fat

It’s not just the wine, it’s the extra nibbles and missed workouts that come with it.

So, as the evenings get lighter and braai season kicks in, enjoy your wine, just keep the full picture in mind. 💡

If you want a plan with foods that you will LOVE book a personalised consultation with me today. 💛

It’s not the chocolate that’s the problem, it’s what you do most of the time that matters. 🍫✨

🍫 One chocolate a week? Not a big deal.
One every day? That adds up.

🍎 One fruit a week? Not going to transform your health.
One every day? Now we’re talking.

🥗 A salad won’t cancel out the chips.
🍟 And the chips won’t ruin everything either.

It’s not about one snack or one meal. It’s about consistency, and building habits that actually stick.

Ready to stop second-guessing every bite and start feeling in control again? Book your one-on-one consultation, let’s do this together. 🍋
