A number of women have said to me that since being in #lockdown #isolation #stayingathome they are eating more often, snacking throughout the day and their food of choice is you guessed it – comfort style foods.

They’re eating because they’re stressed, feeling anxious, feeling unsure, out of sorts, lonely and often because they’re just bored and looking for a distraction….🤔

This reaction to #COVID is totally normal and there is no point beating yourself up about it. We haven’t been here before…

I know in the first couple of weeks of #stayingathome I found myself in front of the fridge on a regular basis…

All of my mindful eating tools went out the window!🤭

Now I’ve hit the RESET button and feeling so much better for it. My emotions have changed to – accepting the situation we now live in – and wanting to be as healthy as I can be. I refuse to be COVID fat!

When hitting this RESET button I realised you too may be ready to do the same? Stop the emotional eating..snacking..overeating and take back control and create a new level of ‘healthy’ just for you.

I thought to myself what is the best way I can share these tools with you that are relevant for right now.

I’m excited as I’ve created a brand new 4 week workshop series

Biohack Yourself Healthy

Biohacking is a crazy sounding term for somethings that is not crazy at all – creating the BEST version of ourselves.

This is not a diet, (though you will drop kilos)  it’s a Reset – giving your body a chance to recover and turn your health around.

I believe in order to achieve fabulous health there are 3 Pillars you need to have in place supporting you:

Did you know it actually keeps a record of every germ that it has defeated in your body ?  Why ? So that if in the future that germ dares enter your body again,  it recognises and destroys the germ/microbe quickly.

To know that your immune system is at all times working to protect you and keep you healthy is pretty amazing huh?

Most of us do not give it a second thought, but perhaps now is a good time to think about what you can do to boost your own immune system so its performance is optimal.

Your Top 5 Tips To Boost Your Immune From Food:

1) EAT REAL FOODS AT ALL TIMES:

Shop around the edge of the supermarket where all the fresh fruit, vegetables meats and dairy are. Fill your plate with an array of colourful veggies, healthy proteins and fats. The more variety the better. As each food provides a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.

Stay away from aisles 2- 10 in the supermarket (they’ve been raided anyway!) As that is where you will find the heavily processed foods laden with high sugar, salt, trans- fats, preservatives, additives and nasties that will deplete your body and your immune system. 🤢

(ps I know there are exceptions like legumes, canned veggies, pasta, rice etc but I know you know what I’m talking about!)

2) VITAMIN C – A crucial vitamin for fighting infections. So what are your best sources? There are many but think…

Citrus Fruits – to load up on your Vitamin C in turn helping increase the production of your white blood cells which fight infections on your behalf!

Remember Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and not stored in your body, (you pee what you don’t need) so I highly recommended a daily dose at the moment.

Think oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins. 🍊🍋

Vegetables – like red capsicum (bell peppers) have even bigger doses of Vitamin C than citrus! Broccoli and spinach are also absolute winners. Just don’t over cook them as that bleaches out the nutrients.

Garlic, onion and ginger are all immune boosters so find ways to add them to your everyday meals. 🧄 🧅

3) VITAMIN D – due to a very successful ‘slip, slop, slap’ campaign many Australians,  now find themselves Vitamin D deficient. This is a real concern as we can no longer rely on the vitamin D we source from foods. The changes in soil management sadly has resulted in much lower traces of Vitamin D in our foods.

Vitamin D facilitates normal immune system function. So if your levels are low then your immune system will be compromised.

I recommend 20 mins of sunlight a day, on your skin without suntan creams. Be smart do it early in the am or later in the afternoon when UV rays are lower. 🌞

Food sources are: –

• salmon, tuna and fatty fish (eat the little bones)
• sardines
• egg yolk (eat the whole egg)
• mushrooms
• prawns
• Cheese
• milk (fortified)
• yogurt (fortified- full fat natural or greek)

4) ZINC – is not a vitamin but a mineral that keeps your immune system strong. We know and it’s been proven to reduce the severity of a common cold and possibly shorten it’s duration.

What you absolutely need to know its that zinc is an essential nutrient, meaning your body can not produce or store it. Therefore you need to obtain zinc from your diet, constantly.

You will find zinc in every cell in your body and your body has countless uses for it, so it is not a mineral to be ignored. Be aware, a deficiency will lead to a weakened immune response. 🙅🏻

In terms of your body absorbing zinc, there are some things to be aware of.

A) Animal products contain high amounts of zinc that your body finds easy to absorb.

B) Plant based sources like legumes, cereals, whole grains, yes are sources of zinc but the absorption is less efficient. What happens is there are other compounds in these foods that interfere with the zinc being absorbed by your body.

Your foods sources are:-

• Shellfish
• Meat
• Poultry
• Fish
• Legumes
• Nuts and seeds
• Nut Butters
• Dairy products
• Eggs
• Whole grains
• Certain vegetables: Mushrooms, peas, asparagus, kale and beet greens.
• Certain”processed foods” like cereal, snack bars, baking flours have zinc added, but I’d prefer you to source yours from fresh foods!!

Sleep is the best meditation for your mind and your body.

We now know from research that when you sleep waste is cleared from your brain, your body’s cells are reenergised, your learning and memories are supported and your libido, mood and appetite are all regulated.

When we sleep, the momentum of our thousands of daily thoughts subsides, Negative Nancy and all her negative comments shuts up for a while, allowing your mind rest…

We can’t underestimate the importance of a good nights sleep.

A night of peaceful, deep and quality sleep is a blessing that only the sleep deprived and insomniacs can truly appreciate. To have not just one, but plenty of your nights filled with rest and sleep, try adding following foods to your diet, especially if you find yourself tossing and turning in your bed at night instead of sleeping.

Let’s Take A Look At Foods to Help You Sleep…

1. Chamomile:

Chamomile tea is a popular sleep-inducing tea that helps eliminate stress and anxiety. Before you go to bed, take a moment to sip a warm cup of chamomile herbal tea to relax, unwind and de-stress. Practice some deep breathing while you’re at it, to help bring you into a more rested state. A minimum of 6 breaths pulls you across for stress to rest!

2. Pistachios:

Pistachios are not only tasty, but they are a jackpot for sleep. They are jam packed with magnesium, protein, and vitamin B6, which have a major role in inducing sleep. You can eat them raw, a small handful is perfect. However, if you over indulge pistachios will have a reverse effect on your body; eat in moderation to avoid exacerbating your sleep issues.

3. Tart cherry juice:

This juice contains high levels of melatonin, which is responsible for inducing sleep in your body. It can improve the quality of your sleep by regulating your body’s sleep cycles. A study conducted by Louisiana State University found that by insomniacs who drank tart cherry juice increased their sleep time by 90 minutes!

4. Bananas:

This fruit is a powerhouse of magnesium and potassium, which serve as natural sleep aids for your body. If you are feeling wide awake late into the night, try a banana to get yourself to sleep. You can even whip yourself up a thick sugar-free banana shake before you go to bed. If weight loss is on your agenda then I would rethink the banana!

5. Walnuts:

Walnuts contain an amino acid called tryptophan that helps induce and enhance sleep. This amino acid is responsible for the production of melatonin and serotonin, which improve the quality of our sleep by regulating the sleep cycles. The best part about walnuts is that they contain melatonin, so they are not only helping in the production of melatonin, but they add a little more to help you fall asleep even faster.

6. Pumpkin seeds:

A cup of pumpkin seeds contains around 420 mg of magnesium, which is around the daily recommendation . Magnesium is also a sleep-inducing agent for your body. If you cannot find any, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds or sunflower seeds are great substitutions.

The search for the elusive “good night’s sleep” can be frustrating and exhausting, particularly if your hormones are out of whack!

When your hormones are not ‘in flow’ then your sleep, your moods, your hunger  turn into your own personal battle ground.

Sound familiar?

Before you reach for any man made synthetic over-the-counter sleep aid, try some of these natural remedies, yes REAL food,  to get your body on the right path to sound sleep!

Sleep is a hugely important tool in your weight loss tool box. If you would like to learn more about dropping the kilos, don’t hesitate to connect with me!

Balanced blood sugar levels are crucial to a healthy and prosperous life, not to mention dropping your unwanted kilos/pounds! Balanced blood sugar levels prevent disruption of your body’s functions and help your overall health.

Here are a few foods to add to your diet to help balance your blood sugar:

1. Greens:

You can never eat too many greens. For the best blood sugar benefits, go for nutrient-dense,  greens like spinach, kale, and broccoli. These greens are also very rich in protein and calcium, which help your body in multiple areas. You can toss these greens in salads with olive oil and chunks of salmon or tuna, a boiled egg, some avocado and yum! Studies have shown that these three vegetables contribute to dramatic improvement in patients who are constantly battling with their blood sugar.

2.Low fructose fruits:

Fruit is always a must, but for blood sugar-specific management, choose fruits that are low fructose, such as cantaloupe, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, and blackberries. You can snack on them throughout the day, or toss them in your salad, smoothies, or acai bowls.

3. Protein:

Protein is essential for slowing down glucose absorption in your body, which helps regulate your blood sugar levels. Add foods to your diet that are packed with protein, like wild salmon and other types of fish, beef and other types of lean meat, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and eggs. Make your diet interesting; try snack ideas like celery sticks dipped in all-natural peanut butter. This snack is rich in protein and only contains the good kind of fat. Remember everything in moderation, however. Too much protein actually can become sugar in your blood, creating a condition called gluconeogenesis; Love that word! Guess what? We don’t want that because more sugar, higher blood sugars! Believe it or not 40 to 70 grams of protein a day is enough.

4. Herbs and Spices:

Herbs and spices are natural supplements for balancing your blood sugar levels. They not only add flavour to your dishes but they may also help your hormone’s lower your blood sugar. Some spices, like turmeric, contain anti-inflammatory properties, which help in balancing out your sugar.

5. Low-calorie drinks:

Cut out sugary, high-calorie drinks from your diet. Add drinks like cinnamon tea, lemon water, and cucumber juice and water, water, water in your daily routine.

6. Whole grain foods:

Whole grain foods that are also rich in protein, like millet and quinoa, provide and store energy without causing spikes in your blood sugar levels. However, if weightloss is on your agenda, keep the grains to a minimum until you reach maintenance mode!

7. Beans:

Beans are a good source of protein, low carb, and rich in fiber, all important factors in balancing your blood sugar. For example, hummus, lentils and garbanzo beans are great dietary choices. Remember to soak them the night before to promote easier digestion. Or if from a can I usually rinse before using.

8. Nuts:

Nuts like almonds and walnuts contain healthy amounts of fiber, protein, and healthy fats, and are a low carb snack idea.

To sum up try balancing your blood sugar the natural way by changing the way you eat. You’ll be amazed at the difference!

_{I just had a birthday.}

_{It wasn’t one of those big celebratory style birthdays but it was still significant.}

_Why?

<sub>Because I’m surprised how old I am! 
I’m surprised how fast time has flown and….

I’m too young to be this old!!

Do you still feel like you’re in your 30’s like me?
I’m not sure I’m ever going to feel like I’m the age number I am. And that’s a good thing! 

I remember one of my beautiful great aunts telling me exactly that. She was in her late 70’s and said “Darling I still feel like I’m 35 just hanging around in an older woman’s body!”

As woman age we want to defy the aging process. Interestingly this ‘want’ is much more prevalent in women than in men. But lets not go there…

I know many women who have turned to Botox and fillers to correct the passage of time that has been left on their face. And it’s not only those over 40+, many of the gorgeous young girls do it too as a preventative measure.

I don’t believe I will walk that path, but for those that do and it makes them feel fab then… to each her own!

What ever you do remember food can be a powerful way to combat the aging process.

Here are 7 foods full of anti-aging nutrients to include in your everyday.

Let’s start with one of my favourites!

1.     Red Wine. Now many will argue that alcohol should not be part of your diet and if weight loss is on your agenda, then I do recommend limiting or removing it until you reach your ideal weight.</sub>

_{2.     Beans – as in legumes – contain unique proteins that thicken and strengthen your hair cells, so you can enjoy a full head of hair unlike our male counterparts! Mind you can someone tell that to my eyebrows please!}

_{3.     Olive Oil, ideally extra virgin olive oil. The healthy fats in olive oil support healthy arteries and a healthy heart. It contains polyphenols, which are potent anti-oxidants, and they fight a number of age-related diseases.} 

_{4.     Brazil Nuts. Selenium, is a mineral which aids in the production of the anti-oxidant glutathione to help slow down the skin aging process. And guess where you will find your daily quota of selenium? Just 2 nuts a day will provide you with enough selenium to reap its benefits.}

_{5.     Tomatoes. Rich in lycopene, which has been shown to support heart health and healthy cholesterol levels as you age.  Did you also know that Lycopene acts as a natural sun block to keep skin youthful and protected from harmful UV rays? Please note I’m not advocating that tomatoes are your only form of sunblock!!}

_{6.     Berries! Another one of my favourites! No doubt you’ve heard before that raspberries & blueberries contain important anti-oxidants to help offset inflammation and oxidative stress. It is this inflammation and stress that contribute to skin aging and wrinkles.  Go for one serving a day and know that they contain more anti-oxidants than 10 servings of most other fruits and vegetables! If out of season there are great varieties of snap frozen, so you have no excuses.}

_{7.     Organic Eggs. I love eggs, and they have received a bad rap over the years due to their cholesterol content, which fortunately now we have regained our senses, you can ignore! They are rich in biotin and iron, which help to promote healthy, youthful skin and hair. Gotta love that!}

I knew that I hadn’t posted for sometime, but I was a little surprised to see that its been 6 weeks!

My intent is to blog weekly, ideally on a Monday, so that I can share my musings of wellness and weight loss with all of those amazing people who care to listen.

But as each week came along, each week I’d think about it and each week I’d do nothing about it.

Was I unmotivated?

Maybe a little…mmm maybe a lot. I think I had a case of the can’t be bothereds.

Interestingly it was not as though I was not doing anything at all when it came to my business. I was sending out my weekly newsletter, posting in my private wellness & weight loss Facebook group (hint hint: come join me here) being active in various social media groups, running one of my 14 day programs. And then of course there is the other half of my life – being a mum, partner, friend, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, aunt, dog walker and employee!

In fact now that I’ve thought about it and listed it above, I have been doing quite a lot…just not blogging. 

When I entered this online world as I did in March 2014 with my enrolment into Bschool (online biz school), I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I knew I wanted to join this world, I knew I wanted to reach more people with my wellness message…share my musings, expertise and stuff!

As we all know hindsight is a beautiful thing, or as one of my coach’s liked to call it kindsight.

If I was to start again I would do it all very differently. I would turn it all around, do it in a way that felt good for me, rather than what I thought I should be doing, or what someone else told me to do.

What is the right way for someone does not mean its the right way for you or me. Each person is unique and everyone has their own path to walk.

It’s true in business, it’s true in your wellness journey and it’s so true in the path you choose to walk in life.

Hindsight is a beautiful thing.

I think we are all guilty of judging ourselves a little harshly.

We have an expectation of where we should be, whether it be in business, in health, in life. There are in many cases, unwritten laws of how we should behave, how we act and where we should be on life’s ladder.

We compare. We feel judged or we pass judgment on others and ourselves.

How do you rate yourself, right now?

Are you a kind or a harsh judge? And if you judge harshly, what or who is your measuring stick?

Be kind to yourself…always. And I’ll be kind to me too!

Oh if I had the answer to the question, is there a right way to lose weight?, I know I’d be in hot demand!!

The Lancet Medical journal published a report stating global obesity rates were increasing worldwide and Australia, is up there with the best of them.  Like many other western countries, the state of obese and overweight people is blowing out of control.

I would argue blown out of control!

In 2014, 63% of adults were overweight and sadly, I can only suspect that number has risen in the last two years. Do you want to know something sadder? One in four Australian children are overweight. Children… who are meant to be under the protection of their parents… How have we arrived at this place of the “unwell’?

Again sadly there are way too many factors that play a role and I would need a book not a blog post to explore them all. And as I’m yet to have any Hay House publishers knocking down my door, the idea I want to talk to with you about is this…

Is there a right was to lose weight?

If there was ONE right way, we would all know about it, it would be called THE RIGHT DIET, and quite frankly we would not be faced with the health problems that we see today.

Consumers are totally confused as there are so many mixed messages out there and what is considered healthy one day is banned the next. The superfood of last year is out and hale to kale is in! You can low fat, high fat, low carb, no carb, 5:2, high protein, low protein, red meat in, red meat out, fasting, gluten gone, sugar free, grain free, paleo, primal,vegan, fructogenearian, fodmap, dairy free or if you really want food free! And that is just to name a sliver of what is on the diet menu!

So what to do?

Firstly I want you take all your weight loss attempts of the past, thank them for being part of your journey, they have helped shape you (excuse the pun, I want you to smile!) and bring you to exactly where you are now, at this very second here with me!

Please don’t view them as another one of your failed attempts and please don’t beat yourself up either… you are worth so much more than that.

Those diets are not failure, they’re feedback.

Take the time to sit quietly and think about those times, what was working for you and what didn’t, can you see some patterns that repeated themselves?

Do you see that you may have needed support, direction, more in need of meal plans or perhaps you like to find your own way? Your past attempts will reveal a lot about your relationship with food, do see it as healthy relationship or one that frustrates you and makes you feel out of control?

Do you feel as though your weight is letting you down?

Are you questioning why can you be successful in so many other areas of your life, your work, your family, as a partner, sister, mother, aunt, daughter, but you just can’t get your weight and yes your health under control?

Guess what you’re not alone… This is not a problem you need to share on your own, as many amazing women are travelling the same bumpy road.

I believe there is a right way to go about it, and it’s not the RIGHT DIET! Or any other diet for that matter… guess what If you haven’t heard this already, diets don’t work!

First and foremost you need to get your head in right place. The right place for change, the right place so you can refocus, the right place so you have all the tools you need so you can drop the weight easily and I must admit relatively effortlessly.

Imagine that and you can start to see what exciting possibilities there are for you. How you’ll feel, how you’ll look what you’ll hear, or imagine what you’ll do?

I want you to ponder that for me and if you have the urge to start doing something about it right now then why don’t you download my guide teaching you how to eat mindfully.

It’s one of the first steps you can take and research now fully supports mindful eating as a way to freeing yourself from the baggage of weight loss. It’s free – from me to you to say thank you for being here!

I am enough

and I like too how its reads in French

J’en ai assez….

I’ve spent the last 2 days at #yournextchapterlive event in Sydney. It was the coming together of 30 wonderful women 40+ who were thinking of, starting or building their next chapter businesses. Guided by Angela Raspass we delved into all things confidence, clarity and wholehearted marketing.

With so much wisdom and experience in the room it was no surprise that everyone shared resources that could benefit everyone else.

This video is one such resource that was shared. I’ve literally just finished watching it and wanted to share with you…I am enough.

I’ve now googled this amazing women, Marisa Peer,  to learn more as I know that I can incorporate this simple message into the work I do with my wonderful clients.

Take the time to watch this and know that YOU are enough and you can play it forward like me…..Share this blog post with everyone, particularly those who you know may need it most.

What is mindset?

” In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods, or notations held by one or more people or groups of people that is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools . This phenomenon is also sometimes described as mental inertia, “groupthink”, or a “paradigm”, and it is often difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis and decision making processes.”  Source:Wikipedia

What is mindset?

Simply, it is a way of thinking.

Your mindset is your set of ideas and attitudes that shape the way you think about you and the world around you. The mindset you have governs the way you behave on a daily basis; it determines how you view things and your outlook on life. Mindset also defines your attitude – to people, situations events…everything going on around you.

You may have heard of the two different types of mindset

1) growth mindsets

2) fixed mindsets.

Or another way to think about the two types is a positive or negative mindset. Positive mindset is of course aligned with a growth mindset and negative sits comfortably, or perhaps uncomfortably, with a fixed mindset. Let’s take a look at what these two mindsets may look like.

Growth/Positive Mindset – glass half full… ( and sing!) always look on the bright side of life…

• Always opens to learn and discover new things

• Understand intelligence can be developed

• Wants to do the work to always make self-improvements

• Understand that failure provides feedback to learn how to do it differently

• Embrace challenge

• Motivated to do the work to create positive change.

And at the other end of the spectrum you’ll find someone who believes their glass is always half empty- a fixed or negative mindset?

• Can’t find the positive in their lives

• Always think from a negative point of view.

• Don’t believe they are capable of expansion and change

• Often don’t start something for fear of failure

• Box themselves into being a specific ‘type’

• Constant negative self talk…can’t…won’t…don’t…!

When you have a think about your close family and friends can you work out which type of mindset they have? Can you work out your own?

When I pondered this question I realised that I fluctuate between the two, which is a common trait. I find myself either being the “promoter’ of me of sometimes the ‘judger’ of me. Because I do the work I do – changing your mindset so you can be fit, fab and happy – I’m very aware when I find my self in a fixed/negative/judgey mcjudgey mindset and I do the work to get the hell out of there.

As you may know it’s not a great place to be and sometimes we can be so cruel to ourselves when we’re there. I often say to my gorgeous clients..would you speak to your best friend the way you speak to yourself?

Take the time this week to look at your mindset. Where do sit on the spectrum? Can you improve? The good news is your mindset is not fixed. It’s actually open and welcomes change and you have the complete power to make those changes.

As my Eat Clean Reset program is coming to a close, I have some time over the next week just for you in my schedule. If you would love some help getting clear on where your mindset is, and some valuable action points to change it for the better, book a complimentary ‘Step Forward’ session with me here

Today is Monday February 1, 2016.

Nothing spectacular about that I know, but from a personal point of view, it is a significant date for me!

Today is the day that I commit to my business 190%.

Now I suppose you might just be thinking…what have I been doing for the past 7 years or so? Was I not committed?

Yes I was committed, but this year is different. For the last two years I’ve been on an enormous learning curve as I’ve studied, researched…gone slightly troppo…learning how to take my business online! I talked recently about the crazy experience right here.

As I said at the end of 2015, I felt like I’d run out of puff.

So what’s changed?

A fabulous (relatively screen-free) holiday in our beautiful Summer sun with family and friends certainly helped. And coming to the decision with myself (it wasn’t a very long discussion!), that I no longer wanted to take this business journey alone.

Yes I’ve learnt and done an enormous amount but every where I looked were signs telling me, that to take your biz to the next level..and the level after that, you need to turn to someone who has done it before…successfully, and can guide you along the right path.

I started my search when I returned from the Camino in October last year. If you’ve spent much time in the online world, you may have experienced its powerful vortex that pulls you in, like the centre of a tornado, and you click after click and then next thing hours have passed and you’re about to sign away your life.

It nearly happened to me. At one point, I came across a business coach, who has a huge following, rave reviews and she invited me to join her in Paris, Italy, New York and Bali. Oh my god I was nearly sold, signing up…

She had me at Paris!

Thanks again to my higher source, I practice what I preach. I took many, many deep breaths, walked away from the vortex and turned off the computer!

When I returned with a calmer, more realistic (Caroline you’re not going to Paris to meet this women…but yes you will go to Paris very soon!) attitude, I continued my journey to connect with the right person.

And the fantastic news is I have and we are in the same time zone! Kinda makes it all a bit more workable don’t you think?

So we had our first session together on Friday, I loved it, I’m excited and motivated to make it all happen in 2016.. and beyond.

That puff that I lost is back…

So that’s why today is so significant for me. I had it in my mind that today (post session) was the day. Momentum on a Monday.

A new year… a new approach.

I know you must be hanging out for what’s going to happen next!! How will this year be different? Well I’m finalising my yearly plan but what I can tell you is…

I ran my Eat Clean Reset Your Body 14 Day Program at the end of last year. Lots of my tribe cried foul that it was a terrible time of year to run it….in the midst of end of year and Christmas celebrations.

Yes they had a point but I did it anyway and we (me and my Resetters) had some fab results. In fact I dropped 2 kgs (4.5lbs) which had been hanging on tightly since Spain, so I was a happy girl.

What I did commit to however, was that I’d run it again in Feb 2016…and I am.

February is now here and if you’d like to learn more about how you can drop that dreaded bloat from around your waist, click here.

p.s This blog post also makes me very accountable…to you and everyone who reads this. I’ve put my intention out there for all to see…best I follow through…oui?
