This weeks meal prep 🫶 slow cooker chilli with salt and pepper seasoned crispy kale🥬

Thrown into slow cooker (literally) to avoid a long winded process (I really do not have spare time to be standing cooking meals for the week like most of us dont)

6️⃣ work lunches sorted. 5️⃣0️⃣g protein per serving.

Prep time around 1️⃣0️⃣ mins - then left in slow cooker for 4️⃣ hours while i carried on my day 🙌

Meal prepping does not have to be a complicated long process - also not expensive💲

💲Ingredient cost = approx £10 for the whole lot for 6 meals. Much less than I would spend if buying lunch on the go daily.

Snack wisely 🙌

Calorie difference ➡️ protein difference ➡️ fibre difference➡️ sugar difference.

You dont necessarily need to 'eat much' to eat too many calories.

Calories are not equal.

you dont need to be hungry❗️. Whatever "diet" in the world you do, puts you in a calorie deficit. Eating more whole foods 🫘🌰🥦and foods with nutritional value with portion control and calorie awareness can help with 'volume eating' which ensures you still get to eat lots of nutritional and tasty foods and feel full and satisfied.

If you are more aware of your portion sizes🍝, your macros and the actual nutritional content of food🍓🥬, it CAN become alot easier to manage a calorie deficit.

That doesnt mean it is easy though‼️. It isnt. But education is a key to being able to understand and action this.

And yes we can factor in things we enjoy (I LOVE a kit kat🍫) - but i dont eat them all the time. We weren't designed to be able to eat ultra processed foods all the time unfortunately🤷‍♀️

Ever think - BUT I DONT EAT THAT MUCH?

Food quality is important.
Calories are not equal.

Ultra processed foods are now believed to be related to imbalances with hunger hormones. This is because of the sugar spikes and insulin surges that come with such foods resulting in insulin resistance.

These are all things going on that we cannot see or feel.

Ultra processed foods are designed purposefully to be highly palatable - this is why you can keep on going and going 🍦🍦🎂🍰🍫🍩🍪🍭🍭🍬🍬 and never feel full.

If you rarely feel full or satisfied and are struggling with blood sugar management, snacking or weight loss then UPFs may be playing a huge part in this.... think food quality.

Change habits. More whole food is needed for health.

New month 🧡🫶

As we head into a new month and approach a new season use it as a time to reset and re-focus your goals.

Review your previous month - what could be different this month?

Month by month those habit changes matter. Every month gone by without change is a delay in reaching your goals.

Keep chipping away.
Change doesnt happen without action.
Remember that your personal goals are important.

Have a positive September 🧡🫶

Consistency before perfection 👌

Dont let anyone call you 'boring' for staying active on holiday, or for making any choices in life which help YOU feel the best version of yourself.

Its taken years of habit building for me to look and FEEL the healthiest and happiest version of myself I have ever felt. That doesnt happen over night or on a 6 week plan (or it does but doesnt last long term).

It happens when you are consistent, dedicated and believe in yourself.

Everyone deserves to feel happy in their own skin.

Its not about looking 'instagrammable' its about longevity, overall health, overall energy and mental well being....

Your health is the wealthiest thing you will EVER own. Invest in it.

Habits habits habies.

Stick. To. Them.

Healthier habits = long term results.

There is no quick fix - if there was, nobody would struggle.

Life long habits are vital.

Choose what works for you.

Stick with it.

Start somewhere.

Start today.

Remember that consistency is the only key.

Progress. Not perfection.

No matter what type of diabetes you have - understanding and knowing your numbers is vital.

Understanding what these numbers actually mean is key to improved management.

Pre-diabetes/borderline diabetes is just as important to understand. Pre diabetes does not mean you 'dont have to worry' this is a warning sign that metabolic disease is happening.

Know your numbers.

❗️If you have any queries, questions or require any support in managing diabetes or wish to understand the Hba1c in more detail give me a message ⬆️ Happy to help 🥰

Super quick and easy meal prep 👏

352 calories per portion
43g protein per portion.

Filling and tasty lunch.

No need for complex time consuming prepping. I dont have much free time, i have to keep it simply, quick and easy.

Volume eating - filling out food portions with low calorie whole foods such as vegetables helps keep your meals low but helps keep you full.

Seasoning - make it tastier and more exciting. Plain vegetables wouldnt satisfy me either👌

Exercise is not punishment.

Movement is freedom, strength and a celebration of what your body can do.

Not everyone has that luxury.
