Gluten!!!!🌾 🌾 🌾 ⠀ ****⠀ For some reason gluten has become the devil with people fearing its very existence. ⠀ ****⠀ FACT CHECK: ⠀ - Gluten is a protein found in plants such as wheat, rye, oats & barley.⠀ - Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disease NOT a allergy or intolerance. ⠀ - Having coeliac disease really sucks - not only does it affect what people eat but can have other serious health complications associated with it. ⠀ - If you cut out gluten from your diet ( & you do not have a medical reason to do so) you are missing out on a huge range of foods that provide many other beneficial nutrients & could be putting yourself at risk of nutrient deficiencies. ⠀ ****⠀ Gluten is good 😀 🥖 🥖 🍞 🍜 don't cut out any food group unnecessarily and without advice from a professional - you could be doing yourself more harm than good. ⠀ ⠀ #nutritioncoach #transformation #goals #strength #sport #healthylife #gains #breakfast #cardio #fitnessjourney #energy #yoga #coach #inspiration #fitlife

Do you experience tummy upset and bloating during long exercise sessions?⠀ ****⠀ Avoid the F's before and during training - Fat & Fibre.⠀ ****⠀ Eat simple carbs: white bread, rice cakes, white rice, sweets, cereal bars etc. This allows the body to absorb the glucose it requires for energy more efficiently and helps reduce any GI upsets during your session. ⠀ ⠀ #sportsnutrition #nutrition #fitness #sports #healthylifestyle #health #gym #sportsperformance #workout #fit #preworkout #motivation #nutritioncoach #im #nutritionist #training #triathlon #running #healthy #athlete #nutritiontips

Honey is a free sugar, it is classed in the same way as table sugar, syrups and other added sugars. It is not a super food or a healthy option. ⠀ ****⠀ There are no approved health claims that would recommend honey as a healthy alternative to sugar. ⠀ ****⠀ It's advantage is that it's dominant sugar is fructose which is so much sweeter than other sugars (glucose, sucrose). Because it is so sweet you are likely to use less of it. ⠀ ****⠀ So just be mindful when you go to add another spoonful because it is "healthy"! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #honey #sweet #nowthefacts #nutritionist #healthy

This may sound a bit strange but have you ever tried frozen grapes?⠀ If you have a sweet tooth and are always craving something sweet after a meal, try frozen grapes!⠀ I kid you not, they taste so sweet and somehow manage to curb that craving. ⠀ Give it a try 🍇 🍇 🍇 🙂⠀ ⠀ #curbthatcraving #5aday #toptips #grapesaregood #nutrition #stayhealthy

Confused about fats - what you should be eating what you shouldn't?⠀ ****⠀ Fats are made up as different types of fatty acid and are classified as saturated, polyunsaturated or monounsaturated. Within the group of polyunsaturates lie omega's 3 & 6's which are essential for our health (trans fat is an exception to the unsaturated fatty acid groups and should be avoided). ⠀ ****⠀ Omega 3's: These come in 3 different forms eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ad alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Our bodies cannot make ALA and so we must get it through food and whilst DHA and EPA can be made by the body it is more efficient to get them through food.⠀ Foods rich in omega 3's: oily fish, eggs, flaxseeds, green leafy's. ⠀ ****⠀ Omega 6's: The most commonly found omega 6 is linoleic acid, this is not made by the body and needs to be included in the diet. It is commonly found in vegetables oils and some nuts. ⠀ ****⠀ Saturated fats: these need to be eaten in small amounts and should make up no more than 11% of total energy intake or roughly 20g (w) 30g (m). Whilst no food is 100% saturated or unsaturated you can reduce your intakes by: ⠀ using lower fat dairy products, meats lower in fat (lean, white meats), being mindful of oils & spreads and grilling or baking instead of frying & roasting. ⠀ ****⠀ Getting to know your fats is a good way to protect your heart, manage your weight & stay healthy. ⠀ If you want to chat more about fats then visit MMC & book in for a consultation. ⠀ ⠀ #fats #eatsmart #eathealthy #smallswaps #healthyheart #healthyweight #knowyourstuff #nutritionist

Do you meal plan?⠀ ****⠀ It may sound tedious but it is such an effective way to ensure you are eating a good variety of foods and stops you getting to meal times and just cooking the easiest thing you can 🍕🌭🍔 It also reduces food waste AND your shopping bill!⠀ ****⠀ You can download this meal planner from the British Nutrition Foundation or better yet let MMC plan your meals for you 😀 👌 We will ensure you are getting exactly what you need and take the stress out of trying to decide what to eat everyday. ⠀ ⠀ #behealthy #mealplan #5aday #nutritionist #hatefoodwaste #savethepennies #eatsmart

I am always on the look out for snacks I can take on walks to keep my daughter happy.⠀ I found this on the bbc good food website - it's a no added sugar banana bread - I made them into muffins and they were delicious. ⠀ I'm normally not a fan of cakes/sweets that are no sugar, no fat (if your going to have a cake you might as well enjoy it) but I am a bit more careful when it comes to feeding little people and so many of the "kid friendly" snacks are packed full of rubbish. ⠀ ⠀ Give it a go - you will be really surprised how good it tastes. ⠀ ⠀ #bbcgoodfood #littlepeople #lovebananas #snacktime #healthy #nutrition

Do the foods you eat impact on your mood and how you feel?⠀ ****⠀ Emerging research labelled as "nutritional psychiatry" looks into how dietary patterns are associated with the risk of depression. ⠀ ****⠀ As with all nutritional research there are a lot of if's, buts and confounding factors, however, the research is showing that adopting a Mediterranean style diet may reduce a persons risks of depression alongside other illnesses such as cardiovascular disease. ⠀ ****⠀ A Mediterranean diet is one made up of lots of fruit and veg, olive oil, cereals and legumes (chickpeas, beans, lentils etc), moderate amounts of fish and a small intake of red meat and dairy.....not to forget - the small glass of red wine on the side 🍷 👌 ⠀ ****⠀ Why not give it a go and see how it makes you feel 🍓 🍊 🍉 🍇 🍞 🍷 ⠀ ⠀ #food #5aday #MedDiet #nutrition #feelbetter #feelgood #eatandbehappy

Have you decided to get into endurance sports but found that you are constantly hungry, ill, sore and irritable?⠀ ****⠀ Fuelling correctly is just as important as training. You need to be thinking about food all of the time! Pre, post and during exercise.⠀ ****⠀ Fuelling is not as simple as calories in, calories out you need to be eating the right foods to ensure maximum performance. ⠀ ****⠀ Here are a few things to look out for:⠀ 1. Eat carbs - they are your bodies fuel. ⠀ 2. Protein intake - you need to be eating high quality proteins to help aid recovery (milk is awesome for this!)⠀ 3. Think about your vitamins & minerals: zinc, magnesium, calcium, vitamin D, sodium & potassium. They are co factors to 1000's of biochemical reactions including: energy production, muscle function, immune function & the maintenance of fluid levels. ⠀ 4. Eat lots of fruit & veg - these are full of antioxidants (among other things) which help protect your immune system, reduce inflammation & aid recovery. ⠀ ****⠀ If you are worried about your diet visit us at MMC and book in for a consultation 😀 ⠀ ⠀ #endurance #fuel #food #healthyfood #5aday #eattotrain #endurancesports #keepgoing #staystrong #performancenutrition #swimbikerun

New year social media is full of promises of a new you but with so many people telling you so many different things about food how do you know who to trust?⠀ ****⠀ The UK has certified registers made up of qualified professionals who base their advice on scientific evidence. Although the advice might not be as sexy as other advice out there it works and more importantly keeps you healthy. ⠀ ****⠀ These professional bodies hold registers for certified: nutritionists, dietitians, sports nutritionists & nutritional therapists. ⠀ ****⠀ Individuals associated with these have a degree, or other higher level qualifications. They didn't pay £50 to do an online course or decide that because they stopped eating carbs everybody else should. ⠀ ****⠀ Check who's advice you are taking because it could be doing you more harm than good.⠀ ⠀ #nutritionist #factcheck #science #begood #nofads #evidencebased #food #healthy

How many times have you heard the phrase "you are what you eat"?⠀ Yes there is truth to it but eating and eating habits are complex- a constant battle between internal controls and external stimuli. ⠀ *****⠀ Hormones, stress, friends, the weather, socio-economics, education, family, exercise, advertising, emotions, smell, photos and even the clothes we are wearing can all influence our food choices. ⠀ *****⠀ Unfortunately we live in an obesogenic environment - an environment that has us surrounded by unhealthy & convenience foods.......petrol stations, vending machines, advertising, promotions, 241, BOGOF deals etc. ⠀ ****⠀ Whilst some work can be done to control these external drivers ( I mean try changing out of those joggers into something smart to eat your tea 😉 ) it is the internal ones we need to pay more attention to. Your body is trying to keep you alive, everyday - that is it's goal. It knows you pretty well and will let you know when you need more food & when you have had enough. You just need to learn how to listen to it 💆⠀ ****⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #nutrition #healthylife #youarewhatyoueat #5aday #nutritionist #mindfuleating

I don't think anybody wants to know how many calories are in a mince pie right now, and we have definitely all had enough of 2020. ⠀ *****⠀ So enjoy time off if you have it, enjoy Christmas food, accept you might eat a little more than usual, don't regret it or feel guilty about it.⠀ *****⠀ Don't set yourself eating goals just because it's Christmas - eg. eat as much as you possibly can this week in the promise of starving yourself next - it doesn't work. ⠀ *****⠀ Keep active, walk the dog/kids, get outside & keep eating lots of fruit & veg (even if it is in between mince pies & miniature heroes) 🙂🍓🥑🌽🥕

Did you skip breakfast this morning?⠀ So many people do not eat breakfast - It is definitely our favourite meal of the day when you can choose from all the best foods ; oats, toast, crumpets, eggs, fruit, yogurt, muffins, bagels (etc, etc, you get the idea)⠀ *****⠀ It is true that people who don't eat breakfast are more likely to have weight management issues. Skipping any meal will often result in over eating throughout the day as your body craves those missed calories and nutrients. ⠀ *****⠀ If you are a breakfast dodger start small - a bowl of fruit or a yogurt and slowly build up your portions. You will notice a difference 😀🥐🍞🥑⠀ *****⠀ If your stuck for ideas visit us at MMC. ⠀ ⠀ #nutrition #breakfast #healthfoods #starttheday #5aday #nutritionist #riseandshine

Have your eating habits changed over lockdown? Do you find you eat more, eat less, feel less hungry, boredom eat?⠀ ****⠀ Research has suggested that we have become more aware about what we eat since the beginning of the pandemic. More people understand the links between diet & immunity. Healthy diet = healthy body. ⠀ BUT does awareness = change?????⠀ ******⠀ It is all well and good being aware of these things but putting them into action is another story. ⠀ Here are some tips to help get you started:⠀ - Make small changes - don't go cold turkey! Little food swaps make a big difference. ⠀ - Add vegetables to everything! - carrot porridge, spinach pancakes, courgette muffins - get creative⠀ - Buy (and fill) a fruit bowl so you always have a go to snack. ⠀ ⠀ Visit MMC for some more recipe and healthy eating ideas. ⠀ ⠀ Happy Friday 😀🍉🍊🍓🌽🥕 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #nutritionist #healthyliving #covid #5aday #nutrition #changethehabit #itwillbeok #vegisbest #healthyeating #feelgood

Spinach pancakes have become my latest obsession. I discovered them when trying to add some extra vegetables to my daughters lunch (I am always trying to think of ways to add vegetables to everything!) ⠀ Anyway she loved them and I loved them so give them a try and see what you think 😀 🍽️ ⠀ *****⠀ Follow a basic pancake recipe (English pancake, not American), cook up some spinach (fresh or frozen, frozen works really well & is super easy) then mix in the spinach. Cook as you would a normal pancake, add some cheese, mushrooms, chicken, whatever you fancy & enjoy.

It has been a while since I made a Yorkshire pud.......turned out pretty well 😀 🍽️ ⠀ ⠀ #yorkshirepud #sundayvibes #food

How do you feel on Monday morning?⠀ *****⠀ Do you feel tired, groggy, hungover, exhausted?⠀ *****⠀ So many people tell me "I eat really well Monday - Friday and then eat whatever I like on the weekend" ⠀ *****⠀ It is fine to have days where you eat what you want as long as you are able to accept them and move on. However, so many are stuck in the cycle of Restrictive eating - Binging on unhealthy foods - Feeling guilty - Restrictive eating - Binging on unhealthy foods - Feeling guilty etc, etc. ⠀ *****⠀ So what to do???⠀ - The number 1 rule is NEVER feel guilty about eating something. Accept you have eaten it, enjoy it and move on with your day. ⠀ - Don't save all of your vices for the weekend - frothy coffees, chocolate, puddings, takeaways, alcohol. If you spread them out throughout the week you will find you appreciate them more (and eat less of them). Try wine Wednesday or mocha Monday (you get the idea 🙈 )⠀ - Don't give up on the day just because you have eaten something unhealthy - "I have eaten this now so I might as well eat what I like today and start being healthy again tomorrow" the day is long 😀 you can turn it around!⠀ - Take the dog for a walk, go for a jog, do some yoga just before it gets dark on Sunday, it really helps with the Monday morning blues. ⠀ ⠀ Happy Monday 🙌 🙌 😁 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #mondayblues #nutrition #nutritionist #postitivethinking #healthylife #getitdone

Lots of athletes ask about magnesium - what is it, what does it do and should I be taking a supplement?⠀ *****⠀ Magnesium is a mineral required by virtually every cell in our body. It helps convert muscle glycogen into glucose (and eventually ATP which is the bodies fuel) and is used during muscle contraction/relaxation. SO basically we need it to provide energy and make us move - pretty useful stuff!⠀ *****⠀ If you are an active person or athlete then your turnover of magnesium will be higher. This means that you need to be sure you are getting enough in your diet to help prevent muscle soreness and fatigue. ⠀ *****⠀ To do this eat lots of nuts (almonds, cashews & brazil), seeds, green leafy vegetables, beans and lentils. No need to take a supplement - use a food first approach 😀 🍽️

Pasta salad with chicken and feta. 🍽️🌽🍗🥗⠀ ****⠀ Food doesn't have to be complicated to taste good, do good & fill you up⠀ ****⠀ Check out more of our recipes at My Menu Coach⠀ ****⠀ Happy Friday 😀 ⠀ ⠀ #healthyfood #nutrition #nutritionist #food #healthlife #healthyliving

We all know that the relationship between food and exercise is an important one but like all relationships it can also be complicated. ⠀ *******⠀ It is too easy to get the balance wrong and find yourself either under or over consuming on training and non training days. ⠀ *******⠀ Exercise will make you feel good and impact your food choices throughout the day. Most people find they eat much healthier on the days they exercise and eat a lot more junk foods (highly processed, high in salt, sugar, fat) on the days they don't. This can have negative effects both physiologically and psychologically - It is easy to get stuck in the cycle of "it's OK I will go to the gym/for a run/swim/cycle tomorrow". ⠀ ******⠀ To get the balance right visit my menu coach. We can provide you with tailor made meal plans to suit your needs. No diets, no binging just sustained healthy eating 🍽️🥛🍓🥝🍞🥑🥕🌽⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #helahtyeating #nutrition #nodiets #exercise #healthylife

Vitamin D is an unusual vitamin as it can be made by the body when the skin is exposed to UV light (sunshine ☀️ )⠀ *********⠀ This can only happen when the sun is radiating at certain wavelengths during the summer months. ⠀ **********⠀ Unlike most other vitamins and minerals, there are few dietary sources of vitamin D and so throughout the months of October - March it is recommended we all take a vitamin D supplement. ⠀ *********⠀ A supplement containing 10 micrograms of vitamin D is recommended for ALL ages and is especially important for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people who do not have much exposure to sunlight, people over the age of 65 and infants/young children. ⠀ **********⠀ This is especially important during lockdown times when many of us have not been able to be out and about and get that all important dose of sunshine over the summer months.⠀ ***********⠀ Don't forget to take yours - and remind your kids to take them too 😀 We all need some sunshine in our lives at the moment!⠀ ⠀ #nutrition #nutritionist #vitaminD #healthyliving #healthylife

Ever have those days when all you want to do is stick your head in a bucket of peanut butter?? 😜 #greyhoundlove #thursdayvibes #meridianpeanutbutter #oneofthosedays

Are you following a plant based diet & heard a lot about vitamin B12? B12 is needed by the body for many reasons, if you have too little it can cause all kinds of complications such as nerve damage & increases your risk of cardiovascular disease. B12 is found in animal products & if you are excluding these from your diet you need to find other suitable sources. Look out for fortified foods such as milk alternatives, cereals & yogurts. If you don't like these foods or don't eat them regularly then take a supplement (we wouldn't usually recommend supplements as food first approach is always best but in this case we make an exception!) #nutrition #plantbased #stayhealthy

That's the weekend sorted. Thanks @plan2ride! #allinmoderation #enjoyfood #enjoylife #bakedgoods #bikelife #instacycle

Snack attack! It's OK to snack just make sure your snacking on the right stuff. Be organised and swap those high fat high sugar snacks for more nutrient dense foods such as fruit, nuts, rice cakes with peanut butter, maltloaf or toast. #nutrition #healthyliving #eatright #snackideas

Protein, protein, protein why does everyone talk so much about protein? Protein is an essential part of every cell in the body and is needed for growth and repair. You can find protein in most foods but it is not a magic bullet to weight loss or a healthy diet. Eat a combination of animal and plant sources such as eggs, milk, lentils, nuts and seeds. #Protein #MyMenuCoach #YourMenuCoach

Don’t be a donut... Saturated fats have been linked to excessive weight gain and cardiovascular diseases. Here’s how you can reduce your intakes: use olive, rapeseed or sunflower oil instead of butter or coconut oil, bake or grill your foods instead of frying them, use low fat dairy options or smaller amounts of the full fat versions, be mindful when using dressings, swap cake and biscuit snacks for tea cakes or malt loaf. #MyMenuCoach #YourMenuCoach #AthleteNutrition

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. #MyMenuCoach #YourMenuCoach #VitaminC
