Preparing your kitchen for weight-loss (pantry + fridge edition).


When working with women clients who want to lose weight, I have a holistic approach to both food and emotions that supports long-term life fulfilment (where weight-loss is a component of that).

Of course food is a component of this and I educate my clients on how to stock their kitchen and pantry to support their weight-loss and health goals.

This is a list of foods I recommend stocking in the fridge and pantry to provide ease in making versatile, nutritionally dense meals that help to keep clients satiated and nourished and create a huge variety of meals.

Protein Sources:

  1. Cuts of poultry (chicken breast, chicken thighs)

  2. Fish and seafood (salmon, tuna, shrimp/prawns). Wild caught or locally caught and/or tinned in olive oil ideally.

  3. Cuts of beef (casserole/chuck steak, mince)

  4. Lamb shoulder (bone in)

  5. Bacon

  6. Eggs

  7. Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)

  8. Cottage cheese

  9. Sour-cream
