I was there, it was me. Scalp psoriasis, pelvic pain, low energy and poor sleep, all sitting alongside un managed obesity. And it was hell.

The reason ‘dieting’ just didn’t work was because I was hugely inflamed and reacting to the foods I was eating, making weight loss impossible.

Stubborn weight loss isn’t always a matter of willpower, in fact, it rarely is. Excess body fat can influence immune signalling and contribute to low grade inflammation. In turn, pain, fatigue, poor sleep or an inflammatory condition can make healthy routines harder to sustain.

That doesn’t mean inflammation explains every plateau or even stops every starting point, but it is part of the picture - AND a reminder to look at the whole person and not just the number on the scale, or think that one approach fixes every broken fat attempt.

I used to come back from holiday feeling deflated. No energy, and dreaded the ‘back to normal’ routines.
Now, because I have such good habits (that I find enjoyable) I come home feeling great and ready to get back to normal life.

Sustainable habits are what I share with my clients. If your ‘healthy changes’ seem forced they are not sustainable and you will drop them at the first hurdle.

I went into the kitchen this morning with no real idea what I wanted to eat.

I knew I wanted protein. I knew I wanted lower carb. I knew I wanted something nutrient-dense. But I also wanted something that tasted REALLY good.

So I played.

And this is something I think we’ve lost a little in our modern food environment.

We follow recipes. We follow meal plans. We buy convenience foods. We look online to see what someone else tells us we should eat.

But when you understand food, you can start asking a different question:

What do I need today and how can I make that delicious?

This breakfast wasn’t planned. It came from ingredients I already had, a little inspiration from , and being confident enough to experiment.

Eggs, tuna, butter, sourdough discard, fibre, botanical flour and greens.

Simple ingredients. Proper food. And genuinely one of the tastiest breakfasts I’ve made in ages.

Healthy eating shouldn’t feel like punishment.

Learn the basics. Get back in the kitchen. Play with your food. Make meals you actually look forward to eating.

Because that is much easier to sustain. 💚

You can do all the testing.
You can take supplements until your hair turns green.
You can spend a fortune on medication.

But if you don’t know your why, if you don’t change your emotional grid or your food beliefs, they will all fail in the end.

Understanding your daily habits and which ones do YOU the most harm is stage 1 in your health recovery.

A quick walk meant taking in as much nature as possible, so in the river I got.
is a practice where we touch natural surfaces and exchange electrons. Yes electrons. We are electric ⚡️

Nothing gets us out of our heads and into nature quicker than green, water, texture, natural daylight.

We are electric and we run off of signals. Dark, light, hot, cold…..
Comfort is a killer. Get comfortable being uncomfortable 💚

We are what we eat, what we digest and what we absorb.
For all of our evolution we ate foods as we found them. We learned to preserve them using various techniques like fermenting, pickling, drying etc, but we were always consuming food that was as we found it.
Modern foods are here to stay, but we should remember that our food should mostly be in its natural state with the least amount of INGREDIENTS, especially those that we cannot pronounce, easily have access to, and are completely unnecessary.

I left the picture on of my completely over cooked eggs simply to show you that this is what real food sometimes looks like 🙄

Eggs
Tomatoes
Onions
Buckwheat sourdough
Skyr yoghurt
Rhubarb
Milky coffee 💚

Would you have yoghurt and fruit on toast as part of your meal?

This may not be your idea of a great breakfast (it may be in the future though 😉), but the principle can work with whatever you enjoy eating.
The message isn’t that everybody should eat eggs, kimchi and sourdough.

It’s about getting back into the kitchen, reclaiming some control over our health and keeping more of our hard-earned money rather than continually handing it to large food companies selling products designed for convenience, long shelf life and repeat consumption, not necessarily our long-term wellbeing.

This entire plate cost approximately £2.93. And I didn’t choose the cheapest ingredients.

It includes organic eggs, branded fermented kimchi, liquid egg white, sourdough, vegetables and healthy fats.

Healthy eating can become expensive, but it doesn’t have to involve exotic powders, endless supplements or a trolley full of “wellness” products.

Start with foods you already like. Build your meal around a good source of protein, add fibre and colour, then include enough healthy fat to make it enjoyable and satisfying.

Cooking more food at home doesn’t require perfection or hours in the kitchen. It simply gives you greater control over the ingredients, the cost and what your food is doing for your health.

Perhaps the real question isn’t whether healthy eating costs too much but how much we are already paying for food that keeps us hungry and gives very little back.

Fasting - can be helpful. It can also be far too much for an already stressed body

Work outs are fabulous - unless your body is not ready for them

Keto is a game changer / for some people, not others. You do not need to start here

Calorie counting is super helpful - unless it means you discount nutrients

Every approach has its benefits and its downsides.
Your personal history, health, food beliefs and habits all mean that not all of the approaches are suitable for you.
It is so very easy to get lured into the next big thing, but are these constant mental shifts what are keeping you stuck.
Health always comes first, fat loss come second.

Breakfast like a King
Lunch like a Prince
Dinner like a pauper
If you suffer from food noise (a term that is being cashed in in) instead of fasting in the morning, or having a coffee and white knuckling it through to lunch, try a big old breakfast to set you up for the day.

It feels really counterintuitive when we have lived with restriction for years, but eating (whole foods) until you are full is one of the easiest ways to reduce food seeking behaviours in the afternoon and evening.
