While losing 40 kg as a nutritionist, I realised something that honestly surprised me. Some of the “healthy” foods I was adding to my diet because I kept seeing them everywhere on Instagram were actually slowing down my weight loss. In fact, at one point, I even started gaining weight. Not because these foods were unhealthy. But because I was eating too much of them. 🥑 Avocado I thought, “healthy fats, fibre… this HAS to be good for weight loss.” But 100 g is around 160 calories, and my portions were definitely not 100 g! 🥜 Peanut butter Another Instagram favourite. I was adding it to everything because it was “healthy” and had protein. But 2 tbsp can be around 190 calories. And those extra spoonfuls add up VERY quickly. 🍌 Smoothie bowls They looked healthy. They felt healthy. Fruit + milk + dates + nuts + seeds… But put them all together and you can easily end up with a 300–500+ calorie breakfast without realising it. 🌰 Nuts Healthy fats, fibre, minerals… absolutely...
