Homemade shepherds pie (serves 6 portions) Ingredients: 1kg lamb mince Salt & pepper 2 small onions 2 shallots 3 carrots 3 celery sticks 1 tbsp rosemary 2 tbsp tomato purée 5 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 150ml red wine 800ml lamb stock 1kg potatoes Few chunks of butter Handful of chopped chives Optional: 200ml of thickly made onion gravy Method: Brown off the mince in a pan with salt & pepper, then remove. Add the chopped carrots, celery, shallots and onion to the pan and brown off with the rosemary and tomato purée. Add the mince back to the pan and add the lamb stock, red wine and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer on a medium heat until it’s reduced to the consistency you would like in the pie. Just before I added the mixture to the oven dish, I mixed in the onion gravy. I randomly did this for the texture and flavour. Add the mash ontop, make lines on the top with a fork so it cooks nice and add a few chunks of butter across the top (I did 4 x 20pence sizes on top) Cook for 25 minutes on a 200 degree fan oven, take out and add on the chopped chives and continue to oven cook for 10-15 minutes. For the mash: boiled 1kg of chopped potatoes for around 25 minutes until soft. Once drained I added milk and butter, then mashed until smooth. This makes 6 good sized portions 🫶🏼 #recipe #food #shepherdspie #cooking #foodie #homemade

REVERSE DIET - week 1 ⬆️🥑🥙 What is a reverse diet? When you get to your goal weight after a dieting phase, it’s the process of working your calories back up slowly to your maintenance instead of a big jump as this is likely to cause weight gain. This week my calorie goal has been 1700, with a 140g goal for protein intake. #reversediet #reversedieting #whatieat
Don’t do these ❌‼️ Here are my top 5 tips and what not to do if you want to lose body fat to help you on your journey #dietingtips
Cooking this was definitely out of my normal comfort zone but loved the process and also the taste 😍 This gave me 4 big portions ✅ Ingredients: 2 large oranges 1.5-1.7kg boneless gammon joint 20 cloves (seasoning) 1 star anise (seasoning) 2 bay leaves 500ml cider 6 tbsp honey 1 tbsp Dijon mustard Slice 1 orange and place at the bottom of the slow cooker, add the gammon, stick on the cloves, and add the star anise, cider, and bay leaves. The cloves are the black things stuck into the gammon. I wasn’t that keen on the flavour these gave so maybe use 5-10 if you’re unsure you’ll like the flavour. I then left this in the slow cooker on a high setting for 5 hours. Let it cool down and transfer it to an oven dish with the other orange slices. Score the fat and coat the gammon in the honey and Dijon mustard mix and cook in the over for 30-40 minutes on a 190 degree fan oven. We prefer things crispy so we kept it in for 40 minutes, but depending on the thickness of the fat on top, you may only need 25 minutes. Would definitely make again ✅ #slowcooked #recipe #tryingoutarecipe #gammon

calories = 635 | 69g carb / 9.5g fat / 68.4 protein Ingredients for this one portion: 75g of Gigli shaped pasta (this shape is from Morrisons) 5g basil leaves 100g frozen peas 1 shallot 1 clove of garlic 150g chicken breast 1 egg 50g fat free yogurt Salt Lemon juice to taste at the end if you like also! Gently fry the chopped shallot and crushed garlic in a pan whilst you boil your pasta water. Then add the shallots and garlic to a blender with the basil leaves, salt and peas (dip the peas in the boiling pasta water for 2 minutes before adding to blender) Add around 50ml of the pasta water to the blender so it all blends nicely. Add more if needed. Cook the chicken (I like to fry mine and add salt, pepper, garlic and chicken seasoning) Cook the pasta until it’s almost done and add to a pan with the blended sauce mix. In a separate jug, mix the egg and yogurt together. Once the pasta and sauce is cooked to a nice heat, take the pan off the heat and slowly mix in the yogurt/egg mix (you don’t want to make the egg scrambled that’s why it goes in when the heat is off) Mix all together and add your chicken however you like, I just added mine on top which isn’t that excited 😅 I loved the flavour of this, it took just around 25 minutes because I took my time with it but could be made quicker depending how you cook the chicken #food #superfood #healthyrecipe #uniquerecipe #greenfood #health #calories #macros #foodie

One of my goals at the moment is to try and eat healthier foods, even if it means my ‘meal’ not actually looking like a normal meal 😅 (rather a random selection of foods) The bacon for this is obviously not healthy, and other meats with less fat would be so much better but this is all we had in the fridge at the time please don’t come for me in the comments 🤣 I’ve found that always thinking about the protein source first helps, then building the rest of the meal around that. I am also thinking lots about fibre, nutrients and healthy fats where I can because all of these are so important! My current calorie goal is anything above 2200 per day, with a protein target of 140g+ to make sure I can build muscle whilst on these lower than normal calories (I’d say this was my maintenance amount) I used to worry about my meals looking nice, now I’m more focused on the benefits I’ll get from eating certain foods 🥙 This for me is a healthier meal than a McDonald’s breakfast or cereal covered in sugar 😅 #food #whatieat #highprotein #foodie #breakfast #basicfood #easyfood #macronutrients #caloriecounting

I use full fat mayo because I still want to eat a good amount of fats per day (even if they’re not the healthy kind).

If you’re serious about wanting to gain weight, don’t waste time at the wrong amount of calories. This was a big mistake I made in previous attempts at gaining weight.

Little insight into some of the foods I eat as part of my balanced diet! 🥙 Since starting this healthier eating series I’ve found I actually really enjoy eating what people would call a ‘clean diet’. The meals I share on here are boring and basic, but I enjoy them and that’s that 🤷🏻♀️ I do need to state I also eat takeaways, high saturated foods and some processed foods every week, but my overall focus is to eat as healthy as I can as often as I can because it makes me feel good.

Calories in and calories out are really important no matter what your goal is, and the best way to reduce the amount you have to eat when trying to gain weight is reduce your activity and calories burnt. I don’t have a step target or do any form of cardio within my workout program.

Gently fry the chopped shallot and crushed garlic in a pan whilst you boil your pasta water. Then add the shallots and garlic to a blender with the basil leaves, salt and peas (dip the peas in the boiling pasta water for 2 minutes before adding to blender) Add around 50ml of the pasta water to the blender so it all blends nicely. Add more if needed. Cook the chicken (I like to fry mine and add salt, pepper, garlic and chicken seasoning) Cook the pasta until it’s almost done and add to a pan with the blended sauce mix. In a separate jug, mix the egg and yogurt together. Once the pasta and sauce is cooked to a nice heat, take the pan off the heat and slowly mix in the yogurt/egg mix (you don’t want to make the egg scrambled that’s why it goes in when the heat is off) Mix all together and add your chicken however you like, I just added mine on top which isn’t that exciting😅 I loved the flavour of this, it took just around 25 minutes because I took my time with it but could be made quicker depending how you cook the chicken #food #superfood #healthyrecipe #uniquerecipe #greenfood #health #calories #macros #foodie #nutrition #eatingclean #cleaneating #healthy #nutrition #cleaneating #eatingclean #healthyfood #funrecipe #highprotein
100g of protein Vs 100g of carbohydrates?! All calories are equal as they are just a unit of energy. BUT during the digestion process, protein requires more calories from the body in comparison to fats and carbs. This means that by consuming more protein everyday. Our bodies are burning even more calories. It’s not a huge amount, but it’s still something to be aware of. #calorieinformation #nutrtiontips #learnaboutfood #carbs #protein #understandingmacronutrients

Final soup of 2024 🥕 I love thick soup and this tasted amazing! If you want a thinner texture, just use more vegetable stock. This made four portions Ingredients to roast: 800g carrots 1 red onions 2 shallots Salt & Pepper 2 tbsp olive oil Additional ingredients: 1 tbsp butter 2 x Garlic cloves 2 tbsp ground cumin spice Vegetable stock (300-500ml, this depends how thick you want it!) 100ml double cream Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes on 200 degrees. Melt a tbsp of butter in a saucepan and add 2 garlic cloves and the roasted onions. Fry for a few minutes then add the carrots, and vegetable stock. Leave to simmer for 10-15 minutes Add to a blender and it’s at this point you can tell what the texture will be like, add more vegetable stock if it’s to thick for you. Put the mix back in the saucepan, add 100ml of the double cream and leave to simmer for 10 minutes. I added some more cream to finish before serving 🫶🏼 #vegtables #homemade #soup #healthy #carrot #carrotsoup #micronutrients #recipe #food

‘Eat this to lose weight’ ❌🤨 If you want to see dieting results, you need to be in a calorie deficit, not eating certain foods. #dietingtips #weightlosstip #fatlosstip
You don’t need to avoid certain foods, takeaways or social events when dieting ✅ It’s always good to mention that one day in a calorie surplus doesn’t mean you’re going to instantly gain body fat, but if you are someone who wants more balance, try out this approach it worked great for me 🩷 #dietingtips

slow cooker beef & broccoli 🥦 This was a 10/10 It’s one of those recipes you keep thinking about weeks after 🤣 ❗️TIP - mix the cornflour with a small amount of water in a cup before adding to the slow cooker so you don’t get all the chucks in the slow cooker❗️ Ingredients: - 800g beef chunks - 4 shallots - 6 garlic cloves (crushed) - 10 tbsp dark soy sauce - 4 tbsp hoisin sauce - 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce - 3 tsp ginger & garlic paste - 500ml chicken stock - sprinkle of pepper - 1 tbsp of cornflour - 1 tbsp white wine vinegar - 1/2 head of broccoli (could use all) Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker except the broccoli and cook on either high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours. Add the broccoli and cook for a further 30 minutes / 60 minutes. This made 4 big portions, could potentially do 6 smaller portions 🫶🏼 #recipe #easycooking #slowcooker #beefandbroccoli #recipes #food #cooking #eating #healthy

What I did ⤵️ Weight trained 4 x a week (2 upper and 2 lower body split) No cardio other than the natural steps I did every day Eaten in a calorie surplus Always thinking about protein and how I can eat enough. I always recommend 2g of protein for every 1kg of body weight Lift heavy and push yourself. It’s not fun but it works!! The first video is November 2022 and then now 🫶🏼 #weightgain #transformation #howtochangeyourlife #gymconsistency #beforeandaftergym #progress
I count that as 1.5 reps or 2.5 if we can count to initial lift 🤣👀. Every couple of weeks I always push myself to lift a weight that scares me and lifting 17.5kg’s turned out to be what I thought… less than 2 reps 😂. If you don’t try then you’ll never know 🙋🏻♀️ #pushyourself #motivation #lifting #weightgain #progress #gettingstronger #heavy #gymgirl #gymtok #progress
The most perfect chicken thighs 😍 Absolutely love these! Air fryer: 200 degrees for 25 minutes Turn over 2-3 times during cooking 1) Coat the thighs in plain flour 2) Add: 50ml dark soy sauce, 50ml of squeezy honey & garlic granules to the air fryer tray. 3) Mix so the thighs are covered on both sides. 4) Cook for 25 minutes on 200 degrees. #chickenthighrecipe #airfryerrecipe

what exercise I would do instead of step ups and why during your glute workouts you can also increase the range of motion on the glutes more by adding in a weight or small platform under your non-working foot ✅ step ups are a nice exercise but I find the whole set up and motion of them a bit awkward I thank these back step lunges on the sloth machine for the majority of my glute progress over the past few years 🙌🏼 #gluteworkout #stepups #workoutadvice
Why this meal helps me stay lean ⤵️ If you’re new here, I’ll quickly go into some detail: your body fat is determined by how much you eat, not what types of foods. So for me, any food I eat allows me to stay lean because I make sure I’m not over eating and gaining body fat, so I’m essentially eating at my maintenance calories every day after doing my fat loss phase earlier this year. Ingredients for 1 meal: 75 pasta (weight before cooking) 10g red pesto on pasta 210g chicken (weight when raw) 25g sweetcorn Handful of lettuce 40g red pepper 10g Heinz saucy sauce I cooked the chicken in a paprika and onion seasoning #mealprep #lunchidea #mealideas #mealprepideas #dieting
no better feeling than doing it for yourself 🫶🏼
Priorities ⤵️ ✅ protein over 120g per day ✅ eating foods with fibre ✅ eating foods I enjoy ✅ not avoiding carbs ✅ eating at around my maintenance calories everyday to keep the results from the deficit earlier this year #whatieat #fulldayofeating #leanphysique
Excited to get back into training tomorrow morning after 9 days off ✨ #physiqueupdate
I’m all for motivation posts, but it’s also good to remind ourselves that having a less productive day, a workout that felt bad and one of those days you just want to chill is also ok 🫶🏼 #motivation #quotes

what I eat in a day for 1800 calories whilst being in week 4 of my reverse diet The goal of a reverse diet is to slowly increase your calories after a diet so you don’t end up reversing your progress and gaining back the weight again. I always try and eat as healthy as possible whilst not eating the same foods everyday #reversedieting #healthywhatieatinaday #fulldayofeating #cleaneating #healthyeating #healthylunch #healthymealideas
Staying disciplined and sticking to it is the best form of self respect we can give ourselves ✨ #selfimprovement #motivation #quotes
November 2022 to now 🫶🏼 #fitnessprogress #beforeandafter #bodytransformation
what are maintenance calories and how can you find out yours? For me, trial and error has always worked. Take your measurements Eat an amount of calories for 2 weeks If your measurements stay the same it’s likely around your maintenance bracket Take 20% off this is you want to lose body fat and add on 20% if you want to start gaining ✅ #fitnessjourneytips #beginnerfatloss #dietingtips

The womens best new pieces and colours of their Define 2.0 collection is now live! It’s their most flattering and comfortable collection yet 😍 My absolute favourite has to be the backless bra paired with any of the scrunch shorts / leggings ✅ code KIRSTY / AD @Women‘s Best #womensbest #definecollection #gymclothes #fitnessjourney #progress #consistency #motivation
Has your deficit stopped working as well? It could be because of the 2 below reasons ⤵️ 1️⃣ Your maintenance calories have reduced because your body weight has, meaning a deficit before, may not be one anymore. 2️⃣ metabolic adaption. This is when you’ve been on a low amount of calories for some time and your body becomes more efficient on lower calories. Meaning again your no longer in a deficit. #dietingtips #whyhaveistoppedlosingweight

Best rep range to see results? Absolutely any as long as you’re pushing yourself during every set.

A super simple one this week with more calories than you would think! ⤵️ 1 bag (250g) golden vegetable rice 185g of roast chicken (this is part of a full chicken I roasted) 80g baby plum tomatoes 10g heinz saucy sauce Because of the type of chicken, it’s higher in fats which means higher calories overall (1g fat = 9 calories, whereas protein and carbs are 4 calories for every 1g) This isn’t a great ‘healthy’ meal, but it’s better than a take out 🥲 #healthy #healthiereating #calories #food #basicfood #easyfood #foodin30minutes #diet #salad #dieting #caloriecounting #rice #chicken #trackingcalories

Sets + reps ranges ⤵️ Lat pulldowns I do 4 sets until very close to failure where I’m doing half reps towards the end. The rep range depends on the weight but it’s usually between 8-15. Single arm pulldowns 3 sets per arm. Rep range between 4-10 I try to do these as heavy as I can! Seated row 3-4 sets depending on time. I do these as close to failure as I can so rep range varies between 8-15. Chin ups 4 sets of as many reps as possible! Each workout tends to be different and the reps range from 4-8. If you do these 4 exercises consistently and you push yourself you will build a strong back 💪🏼 #backworkout #favoritebackexercises #bestbackexercises #backexercises #backexercisesforwoman

working from home full day of clean eating 🥙 the goal at the moment is to get into great shape from my training, and lean up through a calorie deficit which so far is working ✅ I focus on my protein and overall calories mainly, but I do look at the fats/carbs to make sure I don’t have way too much or little of either (sometimes it does happen though). My advice is a 20% deficit from calories and continue focusing on your strength training to make sure you keep hold of as much muscle as possible.

rdl’s, deficit lunges + kickbacks 🔥 You do not need to be doing crazy volume in your workouts to see results.

Couldn’t believe how good these were 😍 Plain flour 1-2 eggs Frosties chicken breast fillets 1) Crush the frosties into smaller pieces, I did this by adding them to a sandwich bag and crushing with a rolling pin. 2) Add the flour, egg and frosties to 3 separate bowls. 3) Coat the chicken in the flour first, then the egg, and finally the frosties. 4) Air fry for 15 minutes of 200 degrees I added sweet chilli sauce on top and loved this combo 😍 #frostieschicken #newrecipe #recipe #chicken #food #easyfood #basicfood
Honey & garlic chicken thighs 🥙 Ingredients: 6 boneless chicken thighs 40g plain flour 2 tsp paprika 60ml honey 4 tbsp soy sauce 5 cloves of garlic Coat the chicken in the flour and paprika mix and place on a foil lined tray. Mix the crushed garlic, honey and soy sauce in a bowl and cover over the chicken, making sure both sides are covered. Cover in foil and cook on 190 degree fan oven for 30 minutes, uncover and add some of the sauce onto the chicken from the tray. Put back in the oven (no longer with foil on top) for a further 15 minutes. I rate this one a 10/10.

Couldn’t believe how good these were 😍 Plain flour 1-2 eggs Frosties chicken breast fillets 1) Crush the frosties into smaller pieces, I did this by adding them to a sandwich bag and crushing with a rolling pin. 2) Add the flour, egg and frosties to 3 separate bowls. 3) Coat the chicken in the flour first, then the egg, and finally the frosties. 4) Air fry for 15 minutes of 200 degrees I added sweet chilli sauce on top and loved this combo 😍 #frostieschicken #newrecipe #recipe #chicken #food #easyfood #basicfood

Celebrating the small wins ✅ Even though I really dislike Sunday evenings because it means Monday is looming 🥲, I always like to reflect on how things have gone during the week. For me this week has been great, I’ve continued with my deficit calories, got more steps in and also reached levels with my training I haven’t been able to for a while. This week being that I’m back up to 6 reps on my chins ups. For some reason over the past few months my body would just stop at 4 reps and have non left in the tank - but here we are ✅ All the small things you do week on week create the bigger results and I’m currently enjoying the process 🫶🏼 It’s officially less than 24 hours until the new colours and pieces launch with @Women‘s Best and their Define 2 range.

Mayo as a form of chicken seasoning? 😅 sometimes you have a random idea and just go for it 🤩 winged it here and just added a good amount of sriracha and a tsp of mayo to the thighs and cooked them for 30 minutes covered in foil, then 15 minutes uncovered on 190 degrees (fan oven) Added them to a bowl of pasta with red pesto and some veg 🍅 loved it! #mayonnaise #mayo #chicken #recipe #basicrecipe #food #easyfood #protein #pasta #vegtables #nutrition #mayochicken #nutrition #chickenthighs #basicfood #basicbritishgirl #strangefood #foodcombo

Is cutting out carbs necessary? ⤵️ No ☺️ The reason people tend to lose weight when they initially cut carbs is because carbs hold onto water. So when you first cut them out or limit them, the amount of water will reduce that your body is holding onto. Unless you are in a calorie deficit, you will not lose body fat. Our bodies NEED protein and fats everyday, carbs are not as important but they are usually the foods we all love to eat and all fruit and vegetables are a carbohydrate so you don’t want to be cutting those out. I’ve found having a balanced diet, whilst focusing on healthier options is the best way to eat during a deficit. #foodsforfatloss #fatloss #weightloss #cuttingcarbs #carbs #salad #nutrtion #healthy #healthyeating #food #lowcarbmeal #highprotein #cleaneating #weightlosstips

Part 8 / DID YOU KNOW? The reason your fat loss results have slowed down since you’ve started losing weight is because the amount of calories your consuming depends on how much you weigh. So if you’ve lost weight, your body no longer needs as many calories. Meaning that the 10-20% deficit you put yourself in at the start of your journey is no longer as much of a deficit. Of course this is all dependant on the person and we never want anyone eating ridiculously low calories. If you are already on low calories, it may be worth doing a reverse diet, and again dieting after this. Let me know if you have any fitness/dieting questions! #dietingtip #fatlosstips

Do you ‘lose progress’ after going on holiday? This morning was my first workout after 9 days off and I haven’t lost any progress. The approach I take is if I’m unable to train, I really try and keep my food in an OK routine. I drank, I ate takeaways, I went for meals out but I didn’t over do it everyday with my calorie intake and I tried to have atleast 80g of protein per day (usual target is 120g+) Your holidays are for enjoying and once you get back into your routine, you’ll forget you even had time off 🤭 #fitnessmotivation #onlinecoach

Are you reaching your highest potential with your lifts? Whenever I’ve made progress on any area, it’s usually after I’ve been lifting a heavier weight and pushing my workouts. It’s nice to have more chilled out workouts every so often, but if you’re not progressing / lifting heavier, your muscles won’t be growing. I try and set myself a goal every month to ‘try add on an extra 5kg to this…’ and just test it out to see what happens, and a lot of the time I surprise myself that I can lift it. Try this out yourself during your next workout ✅ also, the ponytail in the first clip 😭 #progress #lifting #hipthrust #PB #workout #onlinecoach

weight gain tip 3 ⬇️ Taking my measurements over the years has been a huge game changer when helping me with motivation. The scales are OK, but your body can stay the same weight with changes happening, so I hardly ever know how much I weigh. Doing your measurements in areas such as: shoulders, arms, waist, stomach, hips and thighs are a great way to track how your body in changes in specific areas, which was always important to me. When I have low days of feeling like I haven’t made progress recently, my measurements always remind me that I have ✅ 🔗 slim to strong program available #personaltrainer #onlinecoach #weightgain #weightgaintips #transformation #skinnytostrong #slimtostrong #surplus #bulking #beforeandafter #gainingweight #gainingweightiscool #fastmetabolism

Part 9 / DID YOU KNOW? Stop copying peoples workouts, focus on INTENSITY PLZ 🥲 The reps you do are only beneficial if the final few reps are challenging you. If you do 10 reps and they don’t challenge you, increase the weight! Challenging ourselves will create change ✅ #didyouknow #fitnessadvice
weight gain tip 1 ⬇️ Even if it’s calories from drinks, start as early as possible so you have more time throughout the day to bulk up your calories. If you skip breakfast, that’s hundreds of calories you could of had to help reach over your maintenance calories #weightgain #weightgaintips #transformation #skinnytostrong #slimtostrong #surplus #bulking #beforeandafter #gainingweight #gainingweightiscool #fastmetabolism

Tips for lifting heavier ⤵️ 🥐 eat eat eat! I noticed a huge energy increase in my workouts when I was in a surplus of calories. Also having sweet treats during my workouts help. 🔁 try it and try again! Test out one set of a heavier weight and take a note of the reps you did. Then try again next week, and the week after etc… I always found my 2nd working set worked best for me to try a new weight. Then drop it back down again if you didn’t get 3 or more reps. 📝 track your workouts: honestly, best thing ever!! 👀 don’t compare yourself to others. We all started at different levels, are at different points in our journey and if you’re comparing yourself against someone else, it’s not a like for like comparison. #weightlifting #personaltrainer #onlinecoach #weightgain

weight gain tip 2 ⬇️ Use weight training as your main focus, not cardio. Weight training is a great tool to change the shape of your body naturally. It takes time but it is 100% worth it. You can still have cardio based exercise in your programme, but you don’t want to be doing crazy amounts when you’re trying to gain, because it may end up being counterproductive. Focus on weight lifting 3-5 x a week I’ve always done a 4 day split of 2 lower body and 2 upper body workouts and it worked well. #personaltrainer #onlinecoach #weightgain #weightgaintips #transformation #skinnytostrong #slimtostrong #surplus #bulking #beforeandafter #gainingweight #gainingweightiscool #fastmetabolism

The basics behind macronutrients & calories Part 2 of 4 = fats 🥑🫒🍳🥩 Did you know that for every 1g of fat, there are 9 calories?

Maybe its a winter thing 🫣
Please read to understand more ⤵️ 1. It’s so easy to add sauces to our foods and use butter/oils for cooking, but they are packed with calories. If you don’t track these they could be taking you out of your deficit. 2. Tracking is a great way to understand your food consumption. I do it a few times every week to make sure I’m not over or under doing it. 3. If your calories have been at the same amount and you exercise the same amount every week but your measurements aren’t shifting. It’s likely that Metabolic adaptation has occurred. Meaning you need to lower your calories again as your body have now become efficent on these calories. This is only a good option if your calories are not really low already. If they are, a reverse diet would be best ✅ #dietingtips #fatlosstipsforfemale #dieting #diet #fatlossforbeginnners

Part 1 | What I wouldn’t do to see fat loss results 📈 #dietingtips #fatlosstips
Part 10 / DID YOU KNOW? These two things will help you get quicker results because: you are in control of what you’re eating and also aware of what amount calories you’re having (are you even in a deficit?) And because you’ll be burning more calories from being that little bit more active every day #dietingtips #didyouknow #fatlosstips

Already made this twice now 🍂😍 Method: Marinate the chicken and leave for up to 6 hours to help with the flavour in the fridge. Don’t worry if you can’t, it will still taste good! Sauce: Melt butter in a pan and add the onions until golden, add the ginger and garlic for a further 2 minutes, add the sauce spices and cook for 2 minutes, then add the tinned tomatoes and vegetable stock. Leave to simmer and reduce down to a nice consistency, then add the sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the sauce back to the pan with the cooked chicken and coconut milk. Stir & cook for another few minutes. I served mine with yogurt & rice 🫶🏼 Recipe from @thegoodbite and I tweaked it a little ✅ #food #recipe #foodie #homemade #healthiereating #healthy #curry #easygood #basicfood #autmnvibes

Healthy summer shots 🍋 Here are my favourite nutritious shots you can make at home. For my batch I used: 200ml water 50ml Apple cider vinegar Small tin of pineapple slices (juice as well) 1 medium sized piece of ginger (chopped) Blend until smooth, and add the juice from 2 small lemons and the remaining juice from the pineapple tin. These last in the fridge for around 5 days, shake before you drink 🫶🏼 #homemade #homemadejuice #healthy #lemon #pineapple #healthyshots #healthylifestyle #gingershots #nutrition
2 reasons why is this important ⤵️ 1) if you want to get stronger, your final two reps will usually show if you are pushing yourself enough / close to failure. If the final reps aren’t a struggle, you need to change this. 2) I could have easily stopped on the second from last rep because it was a challenge, but I didn’t. I pushed and got another one in. Doing this over time will mean I progress more and quicker #beginnerfitness
Best soup I’ve ever tasted 🫶🏼 Seen a lot of people making this so I gave it a go and it didn’t disappoint ✅ Ingredients: Whole butternut squash 2 large carrots 2 shallots 5 garlic cloves Fresh rosemary Olive oil Salt & pepper 500ml Vegetable stock Double cream Add all the vegetables to an oven dish and cook on 210 degrees (fan oven) for 40 minutes, let it cool slightly and add it all to a blender with the vegetable stock. Reheat in a saucepan and add the double cream, I also added more cream when serving and it was 10/10 with some sourdough bread 🙌🏼 #soup #autumnvibes #homemade #easysoup #simplefood #foodie #recipe
Another soup for a cosy night in 🥣🍁 500g parsnip (after being peeled) 1 large brown onion 3 shallots 2 cloves of garlic 1 tbsp butter 500ml Vegetable stock 150ml double cream 2-4 tsp ground cumin (depending on your taste preference) Salt & pepper Melt the butter in a saucepan, and add your onion, shallots and garlic and cook until soft/golden brown. Add the chopped parsnips and cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the vegetable stock, boil up the soup, then leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes. Before adding the mix to the blender I broke up the big pieces. Blend until smooth. Add back in the pan with the double cream, salt, pepper and cumin (you can add more of this to add more flavour) I also added more double cream to serve 🫶🏼 #recipe #food #soup #parsnip #parsnipsoup #healthyeating #easyrecipe #cosyfood
Part 1 / did you know?? When I first started to train, the idea was always that the more we did, the better the results and this is not true. You can change your body by doing 4 workouts per week for 1 hour each. If you don’t have time for this, anything you can do every week is a win! I know it’s hard being patient when we want results asap, but nothing worth having comes easy and if you want it, you just have to be consistent at what you can do and it will pay off 🫶🏼 #progress #fitnesstips #didyouknow #didyouknowfacts #fitnessjourney

Telling myself ✨I’ll regret this✨ during times where I’m lacking motivation always gets me through. Usually the first 10 minutes is the toughest, then you know you can do it 🫶🏼 #selfimprovement #quotesoftheday
