Could you be underrating calories? This is a conversation I’ve been having with my clients recently and is quite common in the dieting world.

When you undereat this means you are not giving your body the proper nutrients it needs to function, build enzymes, hormones and structures so these are just some of the symptoms you may experience.

Head to our free calorie calculator (link in bio) to calculate your estimated basal metabolic rate (the calories your body needs for basic bodily functions) and make sure you are not eating below this!

You can choose the life you want for yourself. Don’t forget that. 💫

I was pretty shocked when I looked up the calories in a traditional hot cross bun and this isn't even counting the butter layered on top. The calories in 1 hot cross bun (200-240 cal) roughly equals the calories in 3 slices of bread (200-240 cal), but KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and I'm not trying to tell you not to have hot cross buns (because I LOVE hot cross buns and will never stop eating them either), however what I am trying to say is to be smart about it and factor in the calories and carbs into your day!

Work hair vs (swipe for) weekend hair 😅😅 I’ve definitely given up trying to do anything nice with my hair during the working week! 😅

Swipe across to read about what people DON’T realise about Coeliac disease…particularly restaurants and catering businesses.

This is a condition close to my heart ❤️ because my husband has Coeliac disease.

When I ask a restaurant whether they cater for people with Coeliac disease they often reply with “well…it depends how sensitive he is” but it’s not about his physical symptoms it’s about the damage it does irrespective of the symptoms.

So let’s spread the word to help keep our Coeliacs safe!

Easy swaps can save you quite a few calories! Save this post for the next time you must go through a McDonald’s drive through! 🍔
