Have you got enough food and liquid to last a few days?

Don't panic buy as that doesn't help the bank balance or the food supply chain.

Just be aware about items you regularly eat and whether you have extras you could fall back on that don't require heating up.

I think about it like stock for my camping holiday.

Don't forget that long life milk and juices count towards hydration, so we don't need to overflow with bottled water!

I'd love to know if you've thought about this and what items you've got in your just in case kit?

Comment P**P for the details in your DMs.

Psyllium can be great for normalising stools.
The key is to start off slowly with the amount you have.
Them be consistent daily with your dose.

Note that if you're taking medications, leave 1-2 hours either side as pysllium (similar to chia) can affect absorption.

Eating on or around cancer treatment days can be difficult, so a bit of planning ahead can be super handy.

Remember that nutrition doesn't have to be perfect every day. Some days will be beige. Some days will be less or more than others.

What matters most is the trend over time.

If you want to try the meals they can be great to pop in the microwave and a few minutes later you've got a nutrient dense balanced meal. Great for when you're tired or don't know what to have. Use discount code GREENLIGHTNUTRITION25 at checkout for 25% off

Low appetite can make large meals feel overwhelming.

So try mini meals and protein and energy dense snacks at regular points throughout the day.

Eating doesn't need to be perfect during treatment especially on a bad day, some days getting through it is enough.

If you're struggling and not sure what to eat, or if you're losing weight unintentionally you may be best seeing a cancer specialist dietitian.

I'd love to hear what nutrition advice you've been given from someone who isn't qualified in nutrition.

Sometimes the advice is spot on, and there are doctors who are also qualified in nutrition ( is a great example!) But more often than not, your doctor has only had a few hours of nutrition training, and eating themselves or being interested in nutrition isn't the same as a dietitians degree!

For nutrition advice that is personalised to you and your medical condition that is exactly where a dietitian comes in. We work with your medical team to support you.

What's your thoughts on this 🤔

Smoothie time! 🫐

I get asked all the time whether smoothies are ok to have. And the answer is yes! Smoothies, unlike juices, keep the fibre and so can be a great breakfast or snack.

To build a balanced smoothie, add nuts and seeds (and maybe even oats) which will give a great nutritional profile as well as help slow the release of naturally occurring sugars to give you steady energy.

What's your favourite smoothie recipe? I'd love to know!

This woman makes something sound credible when it comes to starving cancer. But she can't be trusted. She's not allowed to give health advice in some parts of the world because she's not qualified to. And yet people still believe her and are following her sometimes dangerous and often misleading advice.

We don't need to cut out all sugars and fruits. Sure reducing added sugars can be beneficial but it isn't going to starve cancer cells and make them self destruct.

Gut symptoms aren’t driven by one meal or one ingredient.

It's easy to believe that it's the foods fault.

So you start cutting things out to work out the trigger.

And it might help for a while, but then you find your need to cut out more.

Until you're left with a restricted diet and worse symptoms than ever (bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhoea etc)

The truth is it's not the food. Not all of it anyway.

The gut lining can become stuck in a hypersensitive state.

When we target the right place with the right strategies we get relief.

So what are the strategies?
Sorry to be annoying, but they're slightly different for everyone, because you're all so unique! Though the right types of fibre plays a role, as does the gut-brain communication.

Clients who have been through our Gut Reset package report not only symptom relief, but also less fear around food, and the freedom to eat out again knowing that you're in charge of your gut and not the other way around.

If you'd like to get on top of your symptoms once and for all, get in touch DM or comment RESET, or the link in the bio has the details you need.

Remember to follow for evidence based gut and cancer nutrition content

And if you have questions, I'm here for them whilst I'm raving in my kitchen.

Sugar and cancer. The complicated relationship and the never ending fear of food.

You don't need a nutrition degree to know that a high sugar diet isn't optimal for health.

But food is energy. That's what calories are, units of energy. And food is more than energy, it's taste and textures give us pleasure, and that's important.

No one is saying we should eat a tonne of added sugar foods in the diet.

But I am giving you permission to eat something sweet if you want to. It on its own won't cause or feed cancer.

There's no reason to exclude ALL forms of sugar, as we know there's loads of evidence for the benefits of foods which also pack in fibre and micronutrients.

Have you been told by someone you should cut out sugar?
