I am an accredited clinical dietitian with over 30 years experience treating many conditions using medical nutrition & diet therapy. My private practice operates on Tuesday, Friday and Saturdays in Murrumbeena and on Wednesday in Beaumaris. I am also an Adjunct Associate Professor at La Trobe University teaching dietitians and supervising nutrition research.

Stress can raise cholesterol through raised cortisol levels even if your diet is pretty good.
Does Stress Affect Your Cholesterol?

Stress and cholesterol are probably linked. Here’s how you can reduce both.Interesting study showing that some people have greater drops in their blood sugars than other people after eating which results in greater hunger and in turn a greater intake of food throughout the day resulting in weight gain. There are techniques via food and nutrient manipulation to help reduce these blood sugar dips that I utilise with my patients to help them lose weight. Lupin flour and lupin enriched foods like Skinnybik are part of the therapy. Skinnybik have been shown to reduce hunger in a clinical study. If you wish to see me to get help with managing hunger call 94837013.

Why some of us are hungry all the time
www.sciencedaily.com
New research shows that people who experience big dips in blood sugar levels, several hours after eating, end up feeling hungrier and consuming hundreds more calories during the day than others.I agree with this list, especially about protein balls being high in sugar and that gluten free snacks are not necessarily healthier than gluten containing snacks. Gluten free snacks are usually made with refined nutrient poor high glycaemic index rice flour. Skinnybik low carb bikkies get a 5 star rating because of their wholesome ingredients including lupin, oat bran, almond meal and wholemeal flour.
