Instagram post 2223462789913275917_2079668344 Is this the secret weapon to stop you snacking! Jokes 🤪 Struggling with comfort eating while you’re at work? Deep down, you probably know that you’re not genuinely hungry but you snack anyway. Ready to start breaking the cycle? Are hidden beliefs playing a part? Comfort eating is linked to your emotions If you’re bored at work, feel unappreciated or are having too much pressure piled on you, you may be turning to food to deal with the emotions, for example. It can go a lot deeper than this too, and hidden beliefs can also play a big part. Maybe you’re lacking confidence in your abilities and the anxiety that this creates pushes you towards comfort eating. Or maybe you believe that you have to go above and beyond in your job role and are on the fast track to burnout as a result. Whatever the situation, dealing with these underlying factors is super important for helping you to stop comfort eating at work. Without this, you’re likely to carry on comfort eating. . . I have put together some of my top tips for beating stress eating at work. Follow the blog link in my bio 🤩
Instagram post 2218978528762086598_2079668344 HOW DID YOU GO? We’ve touched on 4 key cravings and how to healthily handle them. Hopefully, you can begin to feel the effects of your changes you are implementing in order to kick those cravings to the curb and live a healthier, more energetic life. Let’s recap on what we’ve covered this week: Day 1 we looked at sugar cravings and the negative health impacts it has on our body. What healthy alternatives did you swap for this week? Day 2 we looked at consuming a little less salt. Have you been reducing deep-fried and processed/packaged foods this week? Day 3 we touched on almost everyone’s favourite guilty pleasure – chocolate. While chocolate can be good for you, it’s better consumed in its raw state to make the most out of its nutritional benefits. Did you have a nice raw cacao chocolate bar? How did it taste? Day 4 we beat the coffee rush by reducing our coffee intake and replaced it with matcha tea. Not only is matcha a natural energy boost, but it’s also a powerhouse of nutrients. Did you have your cup of matcha today? For more of a group approach to getting a grip on your cravings and kick-starting the New Year, join my 30-Day New Year, New You, Kick Start Challenge starting Sunday 12th January. Alternatively, work with me one to one, my plans are simple to implement and they work, it does not have to be complicated and it certainly doesn't need to be this hard. I will guide you every step of the way and be there through the days you feel like giving up or self- sabotaging your efforts because of one night out! I teach about long term changes, so you can manage nights out, weekends away, holidays without the guilt and feelings of undoing all that hard work. Life is there to be lived. It has worked for me and I continue every day to implement these strategies so I can manage my weight and mental well-being all without sacrificing all the fun things in life! It is all about balance! 😘
Instagram post 2218351195562787947_2079668344 Beat the Coffee Rush How did you go yesterday with your chocolate cravings? I certainly hope you are winning and using your cacao sparingly. It is a superfood after all. It’s now time to look at yet another craving that is at the centre of most people’s daily routines. Coffee. Coffee is much appreciated throughout the world. However, there is an element inside coffee that draws people to it like a magnet and keeps them attached—caffeine. Here’s how caffeine works. When you feel low and lethargic in the morning and you take a cup of coffee, it’s not long before you feel “revitalised”. This is due to the caffeine causing our bodies to release the hormone adrenaline. However, there’s a serious downside to drinking coffee that most tend to ignore. After some time, the adrenaline levels go down and you begin to get withdrawal symptoms. Just like that, you are back to where you started. What happens? You grab another cup of coffee to help bring your adrenaline back up again and the cycle goes on and on. This wreaks havoc on your adrenals – which help fuel your overall energy levels. But what if there is a healthier alternative that gave you energy but gave you a nutritional boost too? That’s where Matcha tea comes in. Matcha Tea contains 1/5 of the caffeine found in coffee but still has all the benefits of a natural energy boost. What’s even more amazing, the caffeine is released slowly which means you will not have to deal with the highs and lows. You can buy matcha in powder form – you simply take a spoonful, mix with hot water and drink. If you find it difficult to swap the coffee, then try limiting your cups to one a day and drink a cup of matcha tea to replace that second or third cup you might normally go for. Have you ever had Matcha tea? How many cups of coffee do you have a day?
Instagram post 2217656647652003296_2079668344 Chocolate I hope you are doing well in beating both your sugar and salt cravings and replacing them with healthy alternatives. What is your body experiencing? Are you craving other foods instead? The more you share and comment, the more I can help you achieve that healthier cravings mode to start feeling better each and every day! Some people relish eating chocolate. Coupled with the fact that it is sweet, it does provide our bodies with much-needed minerals if we choose the good stuff. One of those minerals is magnesium. While magnesium is among the most abundant minerals inside the human body, you would be surprised to know that most people simply do not get enough of it. It’s the type of mineral that depletes easily. This fact alone could be the reason behind your chocolate cravings. From lowering blood pressure to soothing the nerves and preventing muscle spasms, the benefits of magnesium are plenty. On the downside, regular chocolate as you know it has a lot of sugar and other man-made chemicals – being far from nutritional food. BUT, what if I told you that you could enjoy chocolate each day AND fuel your body at the same time as providing nutritional energy? YES PLEASE! Today, we are going to switch chocolate to raw cacao. What’s the difference? Well, raw cacao is the cacao bean ground in its pure raw nutritional form. Cocoa powder is usually heated, processed and mixed with additives such as sugar. Cacao contains no fat, sugar or cholesterol plus it comes loaded with antioxidants. Here are some ways to get your healthy chocolate fix each day: - Take a spoonful of raw cacao and mix with warmed nut milk for a hot chocolate - Mix a spoonful of cacao with your yoghurt - Add a spoonful to your smoothie - Sprinkle on fruit or muesli - Mix a spoonful with chia seeds and nut milk to make a pudding What kind of chocolate do you usually reach for? Comment below and I’ll help you with a healthier and energy fuelled version. 😘
Instagram post 2216873835722200290_2079668344 A Little Less Salt! 🧂 Did you steer clear of the sugary sweets for the last 24 hours or do you need more guidance on this? I’m here to help you! Over the course of human evolution, we have been drawn to salt mainly because it was necessary for survival. It provided our bodies with the minerals needed to remain healthy and fit. Times have changed and the modern human now has salt in abundance causing overconsumption. Like sugar, too much salt in our diet can wreak havoc on our body which in turn has been linked to conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure. There are many factors that cause our bodies to crave salt. Almost too many to mention. One of the most common? Dehydration. Lack of sufficient fluid can prompt our bodies to ask for salts. So before you reach for that salty snack, it’s a good idea to have a glass of water and re-hydrate. Extra points for a squeeze of lemon as it acts as a natural replacement of electrolytes. Our bodies lose fluid as well as body salt in the process of sweating, prompting the body to ask for even more salt. Similarly, like sugar, we can also develop a taste for salt. This obviously will have repercussions further down the road if you don’t keep it in check. • It’s time to get rid of those chips (use sweet potato) and make your own baking them in the oven. • Eliminate deep fried foods altogether and swap for baked versions of foods • Replace table salt with a good quality pink Himalayan salt • Don’t add salt to your cooking, add Himalayan salt to your plate afterwards • Reduce the number of take-away and processed foods you eat, they are full of salt, oils and unknown ingredients. • Re-hydrate well with lemon water after your workout routines What kind of salty foods do you crave and what time of the day? I’ll help you find a better and healthier alternative to your favourite snack! Comment below…👇
Instagram post 2216201672090639731_2079668344 After Christmas and New Year or for some people all year round, we can find it difficult to manage our cravings. Trying to reach for an apple when your body is craving chocolate can seem like an impossible task, but over the next 5 days, I am going to share with you 5 simple yet effective swaps to get you listening to your body and craving the good stuff. Ready to kick those cravings to the curb? The Sweet Stuff: Sugar! Did you know that the most common addiction in this day and age is sugar? Studies show that it plays a huge role in diseases such as diabetes. But why do our bodies crave sugar in the first place? There are plenty of reasons behind sugar cravings one of which is a lack of quality calories. When you are hungry, your energy levels plummet. The body then wants to replenish its energy levels fast. And if you aren’t eating a healthy balanced diet…..well our body crashes even faster! Sugar offers a quick alternative. But sugar isn’t all that great for you! In fact, studies are showing rapidly each and every day that sugar is causing our bodies more harm and than good with links to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, poor oral health and hormonal imbalances (just to name a handful!) Another reason sugar has become one of the most common addictions is due to habit. If your body gets used to eating a chocolate bar or sweets at 3pm, guess what? Your body will be craving that chocolate bar or sweets at 3pm. So how do you overcome the shoving sweet stuff in your mouth? By swapping out for something healthier but still a little sweet. Here are some quick guilt-free ways to replace the sugary sweets in your life: • Instead of a teaspoon of sugar, use raw honey. • Instead of baking with sugar, replace with mashed bananas, honey or maple syrup • Craving something sweet? Eat a handful of berries drizzled with honey and crushed nuts • Worried about the office vending machine? Take your own homemade healthy muffins or healthy treats to work instead. • Need a 3pm “wake me up”? Stand up, stretch, jog on the spot and drink a glass of water. Do you crave sugary sweets each day? If you do, what do you crave? Let me know in the comments 😘
Instagram post 2216058131104190790_2079668344 A wee snippet of my latest blog! To read it in full please follow the link in my bio. • • • How often do you compare yourself to other people? This time of year can be a time that we can be extremely tough on ourselves. Reflecting on the year that past and setting ourself a mountain of goals to achieve in the year ahead which can be overwhelming. Whatever my goals are I always put my Physical health, mental health and wellbeing at the top, why? Because if I don’t look after these aspects of my life I won’t achieve much else. • • • Often when goal setting we will compare our lives to other peoples. If you’re constantly telling yourself that other people are fitter, more successful or “better” than you, it’s pretty rough on your self-esteem and can have far-reaching consequences for your wellbeing. I know, I have been there myself. These negative comparisons are something that lots of us do on a very regular basis and it’s also one of the big reasons why we struggle so much with the idea of self-love. When you’re constantly comparing yourself unfavourably to other people, it’s really hard to appreciate yourself and see yourself in a positive light. Here’s why it can be so unhealthy to compare yourself to anyone else and how you can move away from doing it. Follow link to blog in my bio to read on 😘
