Are You Doing Keto WRONG? (Top 5 Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them)

The ketogenic diet, or keto, has become very popular for weight loss and health. It involves eating very few carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein, and a lot of fat. This way of eating pushes your body into a state called ketosis. In ketosis, your body burns fat for energy instead of sugar (glucose). It sounds simple, but many people make mistakes that stop them from getting the results they want. Sometimes, these mistakes can even make them feel unwell. As someone who works with people on their fitness and weight loss journeys, especially women, I see these common slip-ups […]

Are You Drinking Eastern Tonic WRONG? (Top 5 Preparation Mistakes)

Eastern tonics have been around for a very long time. People use them hoping for better health, maybe more energy, or help with managing their weight. I often see clients excited about trying these traditional drinks. They hear stories about amazing results. But sometimes, the results do not come. Or worse, they feel no different at all. Why does this happen? Often, the secret is not just what you drink, but how you prepare it. Think about baking a cake. If you use cold butter when the recipe says softened, or bake it at the wrong temperature, it just will

Many women I work with enjoy their daily coffee. It’s a ritual, a pick-me-up, and sometimes, they hope, a tool for weight loss. Coffee itself, plain black coffee, has very few calories and contains caffeine, which can slightly boost metabolism and potentially help with appetite control for a short time. However, how you drink your coffee can make a huge difference. It can either support your weight loss goals or unknowingly sabotage them. Let’s talk about some common ways people turn their potentially helpful cup of coffee into something that works against their efforts to lose weight. Understanding these mistakes

Quantum Metabolic Flexibility Scores: Predictive Algorithms for Diet Success

Have you ever wondered why some diets work wonders for your friend but do absolutely nothing for you? Or why you feel energized on certain foods while others leave you feeling sluggish? A big part of the answer lies in something called metabolic flexibility. Think of it as your body’s superpower to switch fuel sources easily. You see, our bodies can run on different types of fuel, mainly carbohydrates (like bread, pasta, fruits) and fats (like avocados, nuts, oils).

Vegan Recipes and Apple Cider Vinegar: The Weight Loss Plant-Based Power Duo You Need Now

Losing weight can feel like a big puzzle sometimes. There are so many diets and ideas out there. One way of eating that many people find helpful is going vegan. This means eating only foods that come from plants. Think fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and grains. You avoid meat, chicken, fish, dairy products like milk and cheese, and eggs. Why might this help with weight loss. Well, plant foods often have fewer calories compared to animal foods. They are also usually packed with fiber. Fiber is amazing because it helps you feel full after eating. When you feel full,
