Welcome to the Krys Lojek Community
I am so glad that you are here. Together we can make this transition work. What ever stage that you are in you can make a difference right now.
Here are my top tips to get you started:
Here are my top tips to get you started:
- Eat fresh food - Aim to eat 6 or more veggies per day. Of course the more the better. Remember that 1 serve is 1/2 cup of cooked veggies or a cup of leafy greens
- Choose pasture and grass fed meats and poultry, and wild caught fish.
- Drink plenty of filtered water - aim for up to 8 glasses per day or till your urine is a pale straw colour
- Let go of sugar - this means all of those supposedly healthy snacks such as muesli bars, protein balls, healthy snickers bars and the like. Avoid going on that sugar roller coaster ride where you end up crashing, craving all the easy to get to processed foods. Not good
- Eat plenty of fibre - fibre is really what keeps us healthy. It feeds our gut microbiome, creates diversity, keeps our blood sugar stable and our appetite under control. Include nuts and seeds, vegetables, whole unprocessed grains into your diet
- Moderate alcohol - aim for 3-5 alcohol free days, and on anyone day avoid having more than 2 standard drinks (100ml each)
- Plan your meals, spend time batch cooking over the weekends, and plan your shopping. Use the resources available to you - whether online, click and collect or farmers markets, local markets, butchers, bulk food supplies and supermarkets. Where ever you go there is always choice.
Nutrition

Hi, my name is Krys and I am an accredited clinical nutritionist. When I started this journey, I honestly thought I was doing everything right by my family. I was cooking from scratch, making "healthy" lunch boxes and cooking healthy snacks. So I thought. I was still plagued with issues with my kids. I have three active boys but when things began to get a little unstuck at school, I cleaned up their diet with great results. Of course nothing is a miracle cure, but with the help of other modalities, together we could create calm and bring focus to the family. This prompted me to retrain as a nutritionist so I can help others. It was a pretty steep learning curve and it never stops. I learnt how important individualised nutrition is to everyone, and how small targeted tweaks in ones diet can help incredibly. My focus in my practice is in diversifying the gut microbiome, strengthen the immune system and make every food choice nutrient dense to support the life stage that we are at.
