Eating more fruit and veg is one of the most common areas for improvement I see, I call it micro-nourishment.

Most often, diets teach us to focus on how much we are eating, that "calories are king" and flexible dieting with macronutrients is queen. When we are busy it’s simpler to only look at calorie intake as we grab a quick working lunch but as a nutrition coach, I find clients usually have a lack of emphasis on what they’re consuming. I’m talking about nutrients, vitamins and minerals. They are what make the difference in weight loss.

Not eating enough can lead to a TON of health problems: disrupted sleep, hair loss and hormone imbalance to name a few. I know that often what we eat, when and how much, gets put second behind our demanding job, busy mom-life and social commitments. But by not paying attention to our eating habits, such health problems can affect other aspects of our lives. Let me break down the importance of eating the right amount.
