Wouldn’t you rather tweak your existing diet instead of going on another diet? 🤷‍♀️

I discovered macro nutrition in 2020 when I was at my highest weight. It literally changed the trajectory of my entire life. Investing in a Macro Nutrition Coach was a game-changer and the best investment I could have made in myself and my health and an investment that continues to compound itself month after month, year after year.

I faced burnout in Dec 2021. Inspired by my own success in my health transformation journey, I developed a passion to help others who have struggled just like me! In Feb 2022, I walked away from a 6 figure multi-year IT Project Management contract to pursue my coaching career full time, and I've never been happier. 🙌

Having tried all the fad diets (meal plans, weight watchers, keto, cleanses, cabbage soup diet, paleo, beach body, etc.) metabolic resets, juice cleanses to detoxes - I've learned they DON'T work. I loved my previous career of IT PM because of the success I’d bring my clients, but it came with a cost. What I love about Macro Nutrition Coaching is getting my clients results THEY LOVE! The women that join my programs completely transform not only their nutrition habits but their confidence by the time they finish. The transformation starts with the transaction.

I’m just a simple girl with a simple message that has so much to offer.

Are you ready to clear away the confusion around nutrition which will open so much potential transformation and results like you've never been before?

Sometimes I hear, "They cost less," or "Don't you do what everyone else does?" Sure, there are plenty of nutrition coaches—but not all offer the expertise, experience, and genuine commitment that truly transforms lives.⁠
⁠
I've lost count of how many clients have told me, "This program is so much more than just nutrition—you literally changed my life." When I left my corporate career to pursue nutrition coaching, my goal was simple: help people improve their nutrition for sustainable fat loss. Little did I know I'd also be restoring their confidence and transforming their lives.⁠
⁠
Your health is your most valuable investment, and I'm here to invest in you. I'm not just a coach; I'm your partner in transformation.⁠

If you're tired of restrictive dieting and want real, lasting results, I've got you.⁠

Breakfast, handled for the week. 🍳

Ham, tomato and spinach in a muffin tin. Eggs whisked with pepper. Bake, cool, and grab one on your way out the door.

Mornings are busy. A breakfast that’s already made means one less decision before you’ve had your coffee.

What’s your go to breakfast on a rushed morning?

It’s 5:45. Everyone’s hungry. And there’s no plan.

M2 fixes the plan. One morning, 5 high-protein crockpot dinners in your freezer, macros already worked out.

Sunday, Oct 25 at 10am, at the acreage. 4 seats.

Willpower is a terrible dinner plan. 🍽️

By 5pm you’ve made hundreds of decisions. The last thing you need is one more: what’s for dinner, and does it fit what you’re working toward?

You don’t eat better by trying harder. You eat better when the decision was already made on a calmer day.

What’s one decision you could take off your evening plate this week?

The bottled stuff doesn’t come close. Homemade ranch is herby, tangy, and tastes like what’s in it: buttermilk, sour cream, herbs, a hint of garlic and onion.

Whisk it together, give it two hours in the fridge so the flavours come together, and it’s ready as a dressing or a dip. It keeps up to 5 days, though the herbs fade a little each day.

Good on a salad, better as a dip for whatever you’re already roasting.

Per serving (makes 6): 180 calories, 1g protein, 3g carbs and 18g fat.

Make it higher protein by substituting protein milk for buttermilk and plain greek yogurt for sour cream.

Week 1 of 8. Here are my numbers. All of them.

I’m doing the Fall Fat Release Challenge right alongside my clients. Same standards. Same tracker. Same weekly check-in.

Swipe to see my goals vs what actually happened.

The win: I hit my macros every day but one, and that day I was sick and couldn’t eat. Steps, sleep and hydration were 100%.

The lesson: meal timing matters. On days my breakfast was late, I spent the rest of the day chasing my macros.

The scale: my weight bounced all week, from 147.4 one morning to 143.8 another. My weekly average came in at 145.89, down 1.11 lbs from my start. The average is the number I watch. One morning on the scale tells you almost nothing.

And notice I hit 6 of 7 days, not 7. That’s the point. You don’t need a perfect week. You need a consistent one.

Which of these standards would be hardest for you right now? Tell me below. by @designedbyshar

M2 is back, and this one is all about weeknight dinners.

Dinner at 5:45pm isn’t the hard part. Planning it is.

So we’re taking the planning off your plate. In one morning at the acreage, we’ll assemble 5 high-protein crockpot dinners into freezer bags. You take them home. On a busy night, thaw one, dump it in the slow cooker in the morning, and dinner is ready when you walk in the door.

Every recipe has the macros worked out, and you go home with the recipe book.

Sunday, Oct 25 at 10am. Only 4 seats.

Week 2 of the Fall Fat Release Challenge starts today.

The plan gets less exciting from here, and that’s the point. Water. Steps. Macros. Ten pages of a book. Thirty seconds with your goals.

This round is sold out. Comment HABITS1 and I’ll send you my free Habit Tracker.

These three are my favourite people to share a table with.

Brendan, our two kids, and me. Between work, school and their sports, our weeks move fast. Thanksgiving is a good reminder to slow down and actually sit together.

What I am most thankful for this year is the people. The friends and family who keep showing up and supporting me, in every season. The new connections I’ve made. And the experiences I get to create, for the women who choose to work with me and the guests who stay with us at Ravines Edge Geo Glamping. @ravinesedgegeoglamping

Family meals are about connection. That is what this weekend is for.

One meal does not make or break anything. Patterns do. So enjoy every bite, and the people next to you.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Who is at your table this year? Tell me below.

This was dinner at our campsite. 🏕️

Steak skewers. Roasted potatoes and green beans from the garden. A bagged salad from Costco.

Protein, real carbs, colour and fiber. And yes, the salad came out of a bag. That counts.

You do not need your usual kitchen to eat well. You need a plan and enough food on your plate. 🍱

Family meals are about connection. Your nutrition is about consistency. This dinner did both.

One meal does not make or break your progress. Patterns do.

What is your go-to camping dinner? Tell me below.
