For many vegans, the choice to completely eliminate animal products has less to do with health and more to do with strong ethical convictions about the treatment and use of animals. Not to mention the effect that our current food system has on our environment.In modern day cultures. food has become much more than a source of nourishment. For many people it can be about making a statement of who they are, what they stand for and a reflection of their overall belief system.Here at The Hub, we believe that regardless of your ethical convictions, religion or belief system, that healthy eating applies to you. Whether you choose to become vegan, vegetarian or an omnivore, with smart planning and perhaps a little bit of help from an experienced professional, your diet can also help improve your overall health and well-being whilst still reflecting who you are and what you believe.Research does indicate that well planned vegan diets do offer a range of health benefits. There’s a lot we can learn from a good vegan diet.Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating HubThe Healthy Eating Hub’s online program:https://healthyeatinghub.com.au/ The Healthy Eating Clinic dietitianshttps://healthyeatingclinic.com.au Hosted on Acast.

One of the hardest eating habits to overcome is boredom eating.We can easily consume excess energy during the day by snacking on food purely because we can’t find anything better to do or because we can’t be bothered doing anything else.Maybe your work day has started to drag or your daily routine has become mundane. Whatever the reason, eating due to boredom is our way of finding something to provide fulfillment, or a fix.Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating HubThe Healthy Eating Hub’s online program:https://healthyeatinghub.com.au/ The Healthy Eating Clinic dietitianshttps://healthyeatingclinic.com.au Hosted on Acast.

One of the biggest frustrations of my job is working with people to change food choice behaviour in an environment that’s highly influenced by diet culture. And when I say diet culture, I mean the marketing messages of products, detoxes, cleanses, shake programs and so called ‘experts’ pushing their agenda to sell you a gimmick based around food rules, restrictive eating practices and poor science.I’ve been working very hard over the past few years to create a solution to this problem. My solution is by no means perfect and we’re still building and refining it, however, I want to talk you through the process of how you should approach dietary change so you can stop listening to the diet industry and feel confident in your food choices for life!Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating HubThe Healthy Eating Hub’s online program:https://healthyeatinghub.com.au/ The Healthy Eating Clinic dietitianshttps://healthyeatingclinic.com.au Hosted on Acast.

Just love your body. It’s the only one you’ve got.Has anyone else found that this is easier said than done? I know I have.If you’ve been hanging out on social media in recent years, it’s likely you’ve come across some form of the self-love movement. And it’s a super great thing. I like that there’s pushback to the traditional ‘ideal body’ portrayed by popular culture but sometimes the pressure to get that ‘right’ as well is just as overwhelming.Here’s my take on body positivity.Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating Hub Hosted on Acast.

There is lots of confusion around carbohydrates and low-carb diets. Every day I chat to clients who say things about carbohydrates like:“Today I ate this massive bread roll. It was delicious but I know that it’s too much carbs and bread is bad, right?”Or “I can’t believe the Australian Dietary Guidelines recommends eating fruit. Don’t they know that fruit is full of sugar?”Or how about “Gosh I love pasta! But how bad is it for you!? I ate a whole bowl the other day and felt sooo guilty about it!”In this episode, I’ll unpack the key factors that might determine when you need to reduce your carb intake and adopt a low carb eating pattern, as well as how much carbohydrate you should be eating to be ‘low carb’. It’s not as restrictive as you might think!Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating Hub Hosted on Acast.

Happy 100th Episode for The Daily Dollop! I have to say that came up quick, but I suppose it’s easy to hit 100 episodes when you’re podcasting every day!In today’s episode we’re hearing from 3 people who briefly talk through their experiences with dieting and how it’s effected their relationship with food.I was actually hoping that there were more stories to share, but what I’ve discovered is, that our culture makes it hard to share – to share that we failed on diets, when all we’re constantly shown is success is pretty demoralising and I understand why people may not have wanted to share their story with me. I hope that by sharing these stories today that you all feel like you’re not alone in your struggles and that there is another way!Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating Hub Hosted on Acast.

Calorie counting: The practice of keeping track of the number of calories in the food one eats so that one won’t eat too much.There’s nothing inherently wrong with counting calories. It one tool that helps you eat according to your individual energy needs and it gives you good awareness about the energy content of food and how this impacts your long-term weight.However, like all approaches, there are mistakes that can be made that lead to obsessive behaviours or hinder your progress long term.

Both men and women feel a huge amount of pressure to look and feel a certain way and are driven to restrictive, fun-sucking, anti-social obsessive and disordered eating patterns that are socially acceptable and sold under the guise of “diets”.Don’t be mislead, this episode is NOT demonising the desire to lose weight. Weight loss can be done healthily and without restrictive eating patterns. What I do want to talk about is ditching the ‘diets’ that leave you worse at the end, then you were at the beginning.

Camping has recently become one of my favourite things to do.Over the past 5 years, I’ve gathered the little Freeman family and headed out bush for some outdoor fun! The nature. The sun. The time away from technology. The fun. The slow pace. They’ve all been key things that I’ve really enjoyed about the experience. I’ve come to really cherish the disconnect from being ‘online’ 24-7 and simply spending time doing next to nothing!The beautiful, yet also challenging aspect of camping is the simplicity of it all. Being away from your fully equipped kitchen can often mean that meals become quick, easy and super processed. I’m all for enjoying your favourite foods, especially while being away on holidays, but I find that if I keep a basic level of good dietary quality we all feel better along with having a high level of food enjoyment.Here are some tips, from lessons I’ve learnt over the past year, to help you eat healthily while you enjoy the great outdoors.Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating HubOnline Habit Building Program: https://healthyeatinghub.com.au/ Hosted on Acast.

Over the 16 years that I have been a nutritionist I have seen programs, fad diets, detoxes, cleanses and everything in between come and go.I have worked with 100s of people one on one, with the most important goal of all of those people being weight loss.Weight loss, to be maintained long term, at its core requires behaviour change. I’m so passionate about this that I created an online program over at The Healthy Eating Hub that teaches this behaviour change through incremental healthy habit building. The truth is, people who tackle their nutrition in this way get slow results and in a world that wants results ‘yesterday’ this can feel frustrating for some people.While the majority of the members who join my program are loving the slow, steady pace, others aren’t satisfied.

It’s about reducing food chemicals, namely salicylates, amines and glutamates. These chemicals occur naturally in lots of whole foods and can also be added to processed foods and some people are intolerant to them.Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating Hub Hosted on Acast.
