Ever noticed you want ALL the biscuits after a bad night? 😴🍪

It isn’t a willpower problem. In one review of sleep studies, people who were short on sleep ate around 385 extra calories a day on average, without burning any more energy. That’s an average across small studies, not a prediction for everyone.

Why might this happen? More hours awake can mean more chances to eat, and tiredness may make quick, energy-dense foods more appealing.

My tip: on a bad-sleep day, don’t try to make up for it by eating less. Keep your regular meals and have filling, convenient options ready.

And if your nights are broken right now (hello, newborn days 👋), be kind to yourself. Weight loss may feel harder for a while, and that’s okay.

Sleep is one of 8 things I cover in my latest blog, “Why Am I Not Losing Weight?” Link in bio 💚

Save this for your next rough night, and send it to a friend who’s running on coffee ☕

10 years of dieting doesn’t always look like 10 years of weight loss.

It can look like losing weight, regaining it, starting again on Monday, cutting out more foods, trying the next plan… and wondering why you still haven’t found something that sticks.

The problem isn’t necessarily that you haven’t tried hard enough.

Often, it’s that the approach was never designed to work in your real life.

Sustainable weight loss should mean learning how to eat in a way you can actually continue — including meals out, chocolate, holidays, busy weeks and the foods you enjoy.

Because the goal isn’t to get really good at dieting.

It’s to eventually stop needing to diet.

💚 Save this if you’re ready to do things differently.

You start a new diet and suddenly there are 47 terms & conditions you didn’t realise you’d signed up for 😂
No bread. No alcohol. Track everything. Gym 5x a week. 10,000 steps. No pizza. No chocolate. Don’t even think about the birthday cake…
And then we blame ourselves when we can’t stick to it.
If your weight loss plan only works when life is perfect, it’s probably not a very good plan.
You don’t need more willpower. You need an approach that leaves room for real life.
Anyone else tried a diet with a ridiculous rulebook? 👇

A diet can help you lose weight and still be a terrible long-term weight-loss strategy.

That’s the bit we don’t talk about enough.
I’ve worked with plenty of people who are actually very good at losing weight.

They’ve done it several times.

The problem is that the method they use requires so much restriction, planning and motivation that eventually normal life takes over.

And then they’re back looking for the next diet.
So when I’m helping someone lose weight, I’m not only thinking about what will get their weight down.

I’m thinking about whether they could realistically still be doing it when it’s a busy Tuesday in six months’ time.

Because losing weight isn’t much use if your strategy keeps sending you back to the beginning.

Stuck at the same weight despite feeling like you’re doing everything right?

It’s very easy to assume you need to eat less, exercise more or just have more “willpower”.
But often, that’s not the problem.

There are some surprisingly common reasons why weight loss can slow down or stall, from what happens at weekends, to drinks that don’t feel like they “count”, poor sleep, changes in activity and completely normal weight-loss plateaus.

I’ve broken down 8 of the most common reasons I see as a weight loss dietitian, plus one practical thing you can try for each.

No detoxes. No cutting out entire food groups. And no blaming yourself for lacking willpower.

And if you’re not sure what might be getting in the way of your progress, my free weight loss audit is there too.

Which one do you think affects you most — weekends, drinks, sleep or plateaus?

A little bit more about the person behind The Weight Loss Dietitian 👋

Yes, I’m a dietitian. But I’m also a mum, a dog mum, a Disney lover and a big food lover 🍫🥞
And I think all of those things influence the way I work.

I know that healthy eating has to fit around real life. Busy days, broken sleep, meals out, holidays, family life and eating food simply because you enjoy it.
You don’t need to eat perfectly to look after your health or manage your weight. You need an approach that actually works with your life.

Now I want to know about you 👇
Which one are you too? Mum, dog lover, Disney fan or foodie? 😂

Know exactly how to lose weight… but always end up putting it back on? 🤔

You probably don’t need more nutrition information. You need to work out what’s actually derailing you.
My FREE 5-Minute Weight Loss Audit helps you find exactly that 💚

Maybe you don’t need to try harder. Maybe you need to stop trying to be perfect.

I see this pattern all the time.
Someone decides they want to lose weight, so they give it everything. They overhaul their diet, track everything, cut out the foods they enjoy, hit their step target every day and promise themselves this time will be different.

And for a while, it works.
Until real life gets in the way.
A holiday. A stressful week. A meal out. A birthday. A terrible night’s sleep. Christmas.

Suddenly the plan that worked brilliantly at 100% doesn’t work at all.

That’s often where long-term weight loss becomes less about learning how to be “good” at losing weight, and more about learning how to keep going when you can’t give it 100%.

You don’t need a diet you can follow perfectly for 8 weeks.

You need an approach you could realistically still be doing a year from now, including the pizza, the holidays, the meals out and the weeks when life is chaotic.

70–80% consistently beats 100% temporarily.
Save this for the next time you feel like you’ve “ruined” your progress. 🌿

And if you’re tired of repeatedly losing weight only to find yourself back at square one, I help people build a way of eating that works in real life.

You can book a free discovery call through the link in my bio or try my free 5 minute audit to find out what is really getting in the way of your weight loss success.

✨ The Weight Loss Dietitian is growing!

I’m really excited to be looking for an Associate Dietitian to join the practice from January 2027.
Over the last few years, the practice has grown to the point where I’m now looking for another dietitian who shares my approach to evidence-based, compassionate and realistic weight management.

I’m looking for an HCPC Registered Dietitian with at least one year of post-qualification experience and experience working within weight management.

Experience in women’s health, particularly PCOS and menopause, would be a real bonus.

💻 Predominantly online consultations
📍 Opportunity for face-to-face work in Surbiton
🕐 Flexible, self-employed associate role
💷 £52.50–£65 per consultation
🌱 Initially a small caseload, with the opportunity to grow

You’ll be joining an established private practice with clients, marketing, booking systems, resources and support already in place.

If this sounds like you, or you know a brilliant dietitian who might be interested, I’d love to hear from you.

Please DM me for the full role description and details on how to apply.

What do you eat when you’re a mum who wants to eat well… but has absolutely no energy to cook? 😴

Since becoming a mum, I’ve realised even more how unrealistic some healthy-eating advice can feel.
Sometimes you don’t need a new recipe, a Sunday meal-prep routine or 45 minutes in the kitchen.
You need food that takes 5 minutes, very little thought and almost no washing up.

As a dietitian, I’m a big fan of convenience foods. Frozen veg, microwave grains, tinned beans, ready-prepared ingredients and other shortcuts can make the difference between getting a balanced meal together and not managing one at all.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to mean cooking everything from scratch.

And when you’re tired and looking after a baby, making things easier isn’t “cheating” it’s practical. 🤍
