Hello and welcome !
Did you know the average Aussie consumes 42% daily energy intake as UPFs*
Australians get 42% of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods (UPFs)—even toddlers consume 30%. By 2030, this could reach 50%. Poor diet is now the leading cause of early death and “fast aging,” surpassing smoking.
Too much fat around our waist is the #1 risk for The Western Lifestyle Diseases. Reducing junk food, alcohol & sugary drinks is the most effective way to lose body fat. Yet, the modern food supply pushes profit over health, fueling constant cravings and overconsumption.
The key? regaining control of our appetite, getting organised around meals & snacks, strengthened with personal strategies to make eating healthy more appealing than unhealthy eating because we like our junk food.
There are 3 things our government would love each Australian to do, to turn the tide of Lifestyle Disease (NCD’s):
reduce junk food and beverage intake (UPF’s) to less than 20% daily calorie intake
eat 2 pieces of fruit most days.
eat 5 serves (2 big cupped handfuls, fingers spread as wide as you can) vegetables (includes salad) most days. This usually leads to portion control at meals.
It is simple but not always easy to maintain healthy eating. I provide the structure and support needed to build motivation, adapt strategy, get back on track when you lapse and healthy swaps whilst maintaining the benefits of convenience, time saving and eating satisfaction.
Our modern food supply is making us sick. The power is in your fork.
UPF’s = *ultra-processed (junk) food & beverages
