Make a Nutritious Salad In Less Than 10 Minutes

Posted on by Ayanwola Titilayo A

This delicious, nutrient dense salad took less than 10 minutes to make. ⁠

This salad was made up of: broccoli, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers, avocado, tomatoes and grilled artichokes. This was tossed together with pink Himalayan sea salt and a garlic vinaigrette. It’s a plant based meal and vegan option which can be eaten as a main or a side dish. You can add an animal protein of your choice on the side if you wish. ⁠

I teach my clients how to eat nutrient dense, fiber packed meals that are satisfying, and health supportive. Eating fiber rich food translates into:⁠

1) Improved blood sugar levels⁠
2) Reduced cholesterol and triglycerides ⁠
3) Promoting healthy weight loss⁠
⁠⁠

With my nutrition coaching program my clients have access to recipes that are yummy, satisfying, and don’t take hours to make. This frees up their time so they can focus on other things that matter. The beauty of it is: They are not counting calories or macros, but are still shedding pounds in a healthy way. ⁠

Eating Your Greens Can Protect You

Posted on by Ayanwola Titilayo A

Greens are rich in fiber, vitamins and nutrients. Eating a healthy portion of greens every day can protect you from developing diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Research has shown that greens can slow down the aging process by delaying the shortening of telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA that shorten with age.⁠ They are nutrient dense and low in calories, which aid in weight loss. Leafy greens are also a good source of calcium for bone health. ⁠They are rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, the disease-fighting compounds found in plant foods.⁠⁠

Eating a serving of leafy greens with every meal can support normal blood glucose levels.⁠ With so many varieties of greens to choose from, it’s easy to add them to your plate. ⁠If you’re finding it challenging to eat healthy, we can talk through whatever difficulties you’re experiencing and develop options specifically for you. ⁠

FAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU FAT

Posted on by Ayanwola Titilayo A


Fat does NOT make you fat. Yup. It’s true. The body needs fat to function and contrary to popular belief; skimping on fat WILL NOT help you lose weight. ⁠Low fat products are typically higher in sugar, which triggers the insulin response in favor of weight gain. ⁠
If you keep reaching for low fat foods like your ‘healthy’ packaged low fat yogurt, it’s time for an intervention. ⁠Once you read the label, you just may be surprised by how much sugar your favorite low fat foods contain. ⁠

Research shows consuming excess amounts of refined carbohydrates to replace fat as a cause of weight gain. This might be why you’ve been struggling to lose weight, by unknowingly consuming excess amounts of sugar. ⁠Fats interact with your hormones in complex ways that don’t cause a massive spike in insulin. This is why eating good quality fat can actually help you lose weight. Some fats are healthier than others and good fats are important for your body to function properly. Examples of healthy fats to add to your diet are: avocados, salmon, nuts, olive oil.⁠

As a Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Expert I understand the science of weight loss and translate this information into practical applications for my clients.⁠If you’re ready to work with a true weight loss expert, are tired of counting calories, dieting without seeing any results, and want to LOOK and FEEL amazing without starving yourself, then let’s chat.

Ghrelin The Weight Loss Sabotaging Hormone

Posted on by Ayanwola Titilayo A


Did you know that your hormones could be sabotaging your weight loss?

Ghrelin is a hunger hormone, which your body secretes more of when you engage in dieting and calorie restriction. Its main function is to stimulate your appetite, making you eat more calories and signaling your body to store fat. Ghrelin also intensifies your hunger, making it very difficult to lose weight. This is why you might be feeling miserable, cranky, ‘hangry’, and unable to lose and keep your weight off for good. Basically, the more you diet, the more your body works against you by making you want to eat more.

You can improve the Ghrelin effect by:
1) Not over restricting your calories
2) Eating enough protein
3) Reducing excess sugar intake
4) Avoiding processed foods
5) Getting adequate sleep
6) Managing your stress levels

It might feel like the cards are stacked against you when it comes to achieving sustainable weight loss, which is why to seek the right expertise and work with a nutrition professional that understands the science of how to lose weight and keep it off for good.

As a Registered Dietitian and Nutrition Expert I understand this science and translate this into practical applications for my clients.
