Overnight Chia Fruit Pots
Here’s the recipe for my overnight chia fruit pots layered with caramelised figs, strawberries and blackberries. I based this recipe off the Jamie Oliver one and just added/changed a few things. Chia seeds are pretty cool if you flavour them well. They’re really high in protein & fibre & are a good source of magnesium! […]
Thoughts on self-sabotage and how my “so what” rule helps me out
The following is something I sent to my newsletter email list a couple of weeks back, but I reread it today and thought it would make a great blog post too, especially with the CrossFit Open competetion in full swing at the moment! (If you want to get on my newsletter list where I send […]
Spicy Thai fish curry with rice noodles

Exercise bulimia: the new eating disorder
Did you know there are other eating disorders that can be a lot more subtle and less talked about than the bigger, more well known ones like anorexia? For example, constant yoyo dieting and binge eating is one, where someone keeps going into a binge-punish cycle in which they restrict themselves from consuming enough calories, […]
Pad Ka-Prao (Ground meat stir fired with Thai basil)
Growing up in Thailand, this was one of my favourite dishes. It’s a simple & very tasty dish you can make. You can have it on its own, in lettuce leaves or with Jasmine rice. It’s great for meal prep as well as it tastes even better heated up the next day! You can actually […]

How much weight loss per week is healthy and sustainable?
I always laugh when someone comes to me and says something along the lines of: “I need to look good in this swimsuit in two weeks!!” or “I want a six pack in 6 weeks” No. just no. What you need to do is have realistic expectations before beginning your diet and training program or […]

5 unpopular truths about losing weight that no one wants to hear…
…But that will make fat loss so much easier once you accept them! 1) Until you accept calories in, calories out, no diet for fat loss will ever make sense If your diet is specifically to change your eating habits and be more well-rounded nutritionally, and weight loss is not a part of it, then […]
Health and performance hacks for athletes
We all know that training hard is a pretty big stressor to our bodies. Sometimes you just feel a little “off” and you can’t put your finger on what is causing it. I get this way from time to time, when I start overly stressing, under-performing and I just feel blah in general. Over the […]
10 things your personal trainer wants to tell you!
Today’s post is a collaboration between my boyfriend (who has been a PT and S&C coach for many years as well) and myself. He was a bit of an inspiration behind this post. We often discuss common trends we see happening with our clients, so it’s thanks to a few late night conversations that this […]
15 Truths Women Need to Hear about Diet and Fitness
A few weeks back I wrote the following on my Facebook Eatercise page and I received quite a lot of positive feedback on it: Hey girls, eating 1200 calories a day, a bowl of no-fat yogurt with berries and cornflakes or muesli for breakfast (where is the protein? and PLEASE DON’T tell me it’s the […]
