📖 Read my new book Your Weight is Not The Problem
🎧 No Wellness Wankery Podcast

So far… THIS is the most popular quote from my n

So far… THIS is the most popular quote from my new book Your Weight Is Not The Problem. Because when you live in this world, you get tricked into thinking your weight is the problem. But the real problem? It’s the way we’ve been taught to think about food, weight and health. Your body is not the problem. The blueprint you’ve been given is wrong. The book explains how our hyper fixation with trying to weigh less is making is much harder to be healthy, to take care of our selves. And suggests a new way to approach health without the obsessing over food, body hate or yo-yo dieting… cause you can’t hate yourself into a version of yourself that you like. And there is nothing healthy about body shame or food guilt. It’s time to stop trying the same old approach and expecting a different outcome. If you’ve tried countless diets, and they have all failed you, it’s time to read Your Weight Is Not The Problem. For a free sample of the book, write “freebies” in the comments and I’ll send you the first 30 minutes free. And if you want to come here me speak this Thursday Eve in Bondi, come to my book launch party. Write “tix” in the comments and I’ll send you details. (There are only 10 more tickets though)!

To my nutrition, health and fitness colleagues.

To my nutrition, health and fitness colleagues.

Your clients and patients will come to you desperate to be made thinner - imagining that their lives will be infinitely better if they just weigh less.

At times like this, remember: It’s not your job to make people the thinnest version of themselves. You can do SO much more for them.

Hear them (with bucketloads of empathy) when they tell you how they hate their soft tummy that’s never quite flat - or how they’ve spent years trying to weigh less.

Then when they’re ready... gently explain the beautiful, awesome truth that is: Healthy food can and should taste good. Exercise should always be enjoyable. Their weight will naturally find its sweet spot when they’ve found a flow with healthy habits - no struggling, restriction or body hating needed. .

Make a suggestion. What if they simply redirect their energy away from focusing on their weight - and put that glorious energy into adopting truly healthy habits bit by bit? Isn’t that much more sustainable?

I know they are desperate to look a certain way but don’t get tricked into selling them a quick fix. Don’t use before and after photos that actually tell nothing of someone’s health. Don’t hand out meal plans. Let them know there is a better, more long-term approach.

Remind them their body wants them to be a healthy weight for them - wherever that healthy weight is. Remind them that real health takes time. And let them know that it’s time to finally stop fighting their body - and instead, learn to sit back and listen 🙌.

Give them permission to know it’s time to stop recording everything they eat in an app (as though it can measure their worth when it sure as hell can’t). Tell them it’s OK - and beneficial - to stop counting macros and cutting out whole food groups. And help them (one healthy habit at a time) become the healthiest, best, happiest versions of themselves.

And if you need guidance on how to do this all, be sure to read my book Your Weight Is Not The Problem, essential reading for practitioners and clients alike.

Write “freebies” in the comments section to get the first 30 min sample to the book sent to you.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or fussy. If making this dressing feels too much, just buy a pre-marinade and call it a day. Cause home cooked food will not only save you heaps of money, it’ll most often be healthier - even if you are still taking shortcuts to make your life easier.

You see - I’m all about shortcuts in recipes because DONE really is better than PERFECT. In fact, I’d say it’s the key to more consistency and breaking the all-or-nothing pattern.

If you want to take the guesswork out of planning, cooking and shopping - if you want to cook more without having to think all that much about it - try my Back to Basics app. The recipes are SMART… quick cook times, minimal washing up, cost-effective and healthy. Oh, and your family will ACTUALLY want to eat these meals soooo…. Try it free for 7-days. And If you want my free recipe ebook, to save you $$$ in the kitchen, write “thrifty” in the comments section and I’ll get a copy to you.

BMI is outdated. Before and after photos are usele

BMI is outdated. Before and after photos are useless. Your scales can sabotage your health. Let’s start measuring health using the myriad of other metrics that actually tell us how your lovely body is doing - from how you feel, to bowel movements and things like blood pressure. Let’s move towards real health - and find a whole lot more consistency! To learn a new non-diet approach to health, read my new book Your Weight Is Not The Problem. If you live in Sydney, come to my book launch party on the 9th of feb! There will be a live Q&A, great discussion and book signing supported by @gertrudeandalice. Write “tix” in the comments section to find out more about the event!

Note: health is different for all of us. If you live with chronic pain, moving easily might not be how you define health. Let’s stop applying a one size fits all approach to wellness. Define what health means to you 💃

Stuck in a food rut? Let’s say GOODBYE to boring

Stuck in a food rut? Let’s say GOODBYE to boring vegetables. If you have been following me for a while now you would know that I’m a huge fan of vegetables. And I hope you are too 🤞 But if by chance you’re part of the 95% of Australians who don’t eat enough veggies... I’ve recruited back up. @aliceinframes is a certified lover of all things veg and obsessed with flavour. The combo we need in my mission to end sad salads and make veggies something exciting.

Catch our full chat all about spicing up vegetables by listening to No Wellness Wankery - wherever you get your podcasts.

This book has the diet industry worried. Because,

This book has the diet industry worried. Because, if counting points or calories worked then diet companies wouldn’t grow larger and more powerful. But every year they need to rebrand themselves. “We’re not a diet” they promise while giving a list of foods to limit, which only drives emotional eating and feelings of restriction. “We’ve changed!” They promise while being fundamentally the same. Well - The science is in and the evidence is clear. Not only do diets fail you, but they set you up for a lifetime of weight regain and disordered eating. How many times will you re-sign up to the same approach before you consider it’s time for a totally new approach.

This book isn’t trying to sell you a quick fix or prey on your insecurities. If you’re looking for another fad diet - don’t buy this book. You will be very disappointed. But if you’re interested in long term health and want to build healthy habits that last a lifetime, I’ve got you covered with this book, Your Weight Is Not The Problem.

If you want a free sample of the book, to make sure it isn’t yet another thing to waste money on, write ‘freebies’ in the comments I’ll send you the first 30-minutes.
