I didn’t lose 50kg by cutting out carbs.

I lost weight by getting smarter with how I build my meals, manage my portions and cook the foods I love.

The CarbReduce function on the Rice Cooker is such a clever way to still enjoy rice, just in a lighter way.

Sustainable weight loss is not about restriction. It’s about finding what works for your real life.

The ultimate clean girl aesthetic.

Short, soft, milky French nails finished with builder gel for that fresh, natural, perfectly polished look.

Minimal. Elegant. So Coco Glam.

Sharing some very personal moments today, because bodies change, journeys change, and sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is talk about it honestly.

Every time I talk about , my DMs go wild.

Hundreds of messages asking for the link, the pricing, how it works, what’s included, where to start.

And I get it, because starting can feel BIG.

It can feel scary. Expensive. Overwhelming. Maybe you’re nervous about the medical side. Maybe you don’t fully understand what the program includes. Maybe you’re worried about what people will think. Maybe you’re just not ready yet.

So I’m doing a little honest market research.

If you’ve ever asked me about Flourish but haven’t taken the next step, I’d genuinely love to know what stopped you.

No judgement. No pressure. Just honesty.

Comment below or DM me privately if that feels easier.

What’s the one thing holding you back?

48kgs down, and these are the exact steps that changed everything for me. 🤍

Not a quick fix. Not magic. Not one perfect day.

Just the right support, the right tools, and small habits repeated over and over again.

If you’re starting out on your own weight loss journey, I’d really encourage you to look into Flourish Weight Loss.

From medical assessments and doctor-led support, to GLP-1 prescriptions if appropriate, exercise guidance, medication support, calorie tracking, health coaches and dietitians — it gives you all the support you could need in one app.

Because you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Comment FLOURISH and I’ll send you the link for more info. 🌿

I’ll be honest… when Lancewood first launched this Fat Free Greek Style Yoghurt, I was sceptical. 👀

But now that I understand the protein ratio and how to compare protein vs calories, I actually think this is a really solid option for those of us trying to prioritise protein while staying in a calorie deficit.

Low calorie, decent protein, affordable and easy to find? We love a realistic option that doesn’t require taking out a second bond to hit protein goals. 😂
