When Sarah first reached out, she was nervous. She'd been told by previous coaches that weight loss meant eating six small meals a day and never skipping breakfast. She was exhausted just thinking about it.But here's the truth -  that advice is outdated, unsustainable and scientifically flawed.In this episode, I break down:✨ Why eating 6 meals a day sabotages weight loss – constant eating = constant blood sugar spikes = constant insulin release = fat storage mode✨ The breakfast myth – you don't have to eat breakfast. What matters is what you break your fast with when you do eat✨ How to stabilise your blood sugar – so you can burn fat, balance hormones, and finally feel in control around food✨ What I actually teach inside my signature program –blood sugar mastery and sustainable transformation (no counting calories or hell required)Sarah didn't need more meals. She needed more clarity, better blood sugar control and a strategy that actually worked for her life.If you've been told you need to eat constantly to "boost your metabolism" or that skipping breakfast will ruin your progress, this episode is for you.Ready to transform your sugar intake, lose weight and feel powerful in your body?Join Fuel Your Fire – my premium online program for  women ready to master their weight, energy, hormones and mindset. 👉 www.nutritionqueensland.com/ignite Book a VIP 1:1 Appointment with me:👉 www.nutritionqueensland.comLet's connect:Instagram: @nutrition_queenslandWebsite: www.nutritionqueensland.com

I share my little obsession — collagen in green tea. Collagen’s not just for glowing skin; it supports your gut, joints, hair, nails, and muscle tone.
