15 years of Porter Nutrition!

It's been a journey

I have loved working with a range of different organisations and individuals. I have tagged a few of the organisations.

If you have benefited from my work, do let me know in the comments.

Here's to the next 15 years.

Thanks to my biggest cheerleaders. You know who you are!

Why did a nutritionist who promotes wholemeal options end up buying a whole lot of white bread this week?

Because I couldn't get cheesy topped rolls or finger rolls in wholemeal.

I would like to see this changed.

Yes, I could have made my own. We make most of our bread using flour from in our bread maker and love it. But I don't always want to make my own (I didn't want the oven on for bread rolls in hot weather for a start).

And yes, it's ok to have white bread sometimes but I believe it should be a choice.

Could offer other varieties? (And the other supermarkets of course but I shopped at Aldi today)

Consistent messages are key.

Loved this response from Naga on this morning to the news that tariffs on biscuits and chocolate amongst other foods would be reduced to help with the cost of living for families.

I'm not anti biscuits and chocolate BUT when we are saying children should eat less of these foods in their nursery and in their schools, why can't we have joined up thinking.

Why I didn't answer your emails today....

I was in the park! I chair the Friends of Old Moat Park. I had the pleasure of organising an event today to open the brand new seating/performance space in the park which was funded by and .

Children from 3 local primary schools came for an interactive story time session led by the fabulous Cathy from . We provided a fruit snack, bought from Withington Fruit and Veg shop and the children all got to take a book home provided by Read Manchester.

Was wonderful to work alongside fellow volunteers and staff and staff. Thanks to too for the loan of the gazebos and tables and Withington Library for being out wet weather option.

Team work makes the dream work

How much salt are you inadvertently adding to your food?

Check the label.

Use less

Use reduced salt options

Switch to flavour from onions, garlic, ginger, chilli, herbs, spices, lemon, limes...

How salty is your sandwich?

In a survey by of over 500 supermarket and high street sandwiches…
🔹 44% were high in salt
🔹 97% were low in fibre
🔹 25% were classified as ‘less healthy’ due to high levels of salt, sugar and fat – banning them from current mainstream advertising and promotions.

This I'm joining the call for government to:
✔ Update the Salt Reduction Targets
✔ Introduce tougher mandatory limits on salt and calories
✔ Hold the food industry accountable through meaningful financial penalties

Our lunchtime meal-deal shouldn’t come with a side of hidden salt. Let’s for good.

Don't take my word for it....

Hear someone else's take on my training ...

"This training really boosted my confidence on my ability to deliver 1-1 nutrition consultations, and Aliya was very kind and patient during the session. She encouraged us to develop our own style of consultation and I'd highly recommend this training!" (Jess)

You will get a great amount of knowledge, and it will give you the confidence to step into the professional nutrition world. (Pooja Chavan)

Very useful, enjoyable, confidence boosting and time efficient (Laura Street)
