I’m a big fan of cow’s milk. It’s delicious, nutritious and natural. However, if you feel this isn’t for you for whatever reason, then a milk alternative is a good idea. Have you noticed how many there are?! Slightly overwhelming, I get it. I’m a dietitian and I feel that way too.
So, to simplify, I’ve created this brief list of things to keep in mind when choosing a milk alternative.
I’m loving this low carbohydrate French toast at the moment! It’s seriously tasty and it doesn’t make your blood sugar levels go through the roof, resulting in sustained energy and feeling satisfied until lunch.
I’ve eaten my fair share of kimchi the last little while, from various locations (including South Korea), and I’ve learnt that there are some okay ones and some seriously delicious ones. For this reason, don’t let your first kimchi tasting determine whether you like it or not. Keep trying it. Better yet, make it!
Semaglutide (e.g. brand name Ozempic) is a medication often prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes but more recently, and popularly, for weight loss. Does it work? Well, I haven’t had a client yet who hasn’t lost weight using Ozempic. Does it come with risks? Read on to find out!
안녕하세요! That’s ‘hello’ in Korean ;) Yes, I recently got back from South Korea, and the DMZ… and had a fantastic time. Have you been? If not, I definitely recommend it!
When packed with flavour, such as garlic and fresh coriander, I find cauliflower rice to be a satisfying alternative to rice and it’s a good way to sneak in some extra vegetables.
This recipe is low histamine, lectin, oxalate and carbohydrate.
Gentle, full of flavour and satisfying, this blue-eye cod poached in broth is also low in histamines, lectins, oxalates and carbohydrates, and is dairy-free and gluten-free!
Iron infusions… have you ever had one? People report such varied experiences with these, some positive and some not so positive. Read on to find out what you need to flag with your GP.
Histamine is naturally occurring and contributes to health however, some people will benefit from minimising their histamine intake through food to help address certain conditions.
We are often told to ‘slip, slop and slap’ however, has sun protection gone just that little too far, with many of us not being clear on the true facts around sun exposure and vitamin D. Prioritise prioritising the sun!
This soup contains HEAPS of vegetables, is souper (get it! wink, wink) comforting and a big batch will last in the fridge for 3-5 days! That’s a big plus if you like eating soup during winter, like me.
It is also a warming and nourishing meal to have when you’re sick!
With Anzac Day just gone, I was motivated to do some further research into my family’s military history and during which I came across a copy of the Manual of Military Cooking and Dietary 1933.
Old books are special and this one is no exception!
