Frequently asked
Your questions, honestly answered.
An independent advice site that publishes evidence-based articles on nutrition for women — covering weight, menopause, hormones, meal planning and everyday eating. We don't sell programmes, supplements or coaching.
No. Articles on this site are general information for women, not personalised medical or dietetic advice. For individual care, please speak to your doctor or a registered dietitian.
Articles are written and reviewed against current nutrition evidence. Author and credential information will be added alongside articles as the journal grows.
Nothing on this site requires calorie counting. We focus on plate composition, food quality, behaviour and the bigger picture.
Yes — articles consider vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and other approaches where relevant. For medical diets (e.g. coeliac, severe allergy), always work with a registered dietitian.
General nutrition information is not a substitute for medical care. Speak to your doctor or specialist about any condition, medication, pregnancy or symptoms — including PCOS, thyroid, IBS, perimenopause and menopause.
No. We don't prescribe restrictive diets, ban food groups or promote 'cheat days'. We write about sustainable, realistic ways of eating.
A steady, healthy rate of loss is typically around 0.4–0.7kg per week — far more likely to stay off than rapid loss. Some weeks the scale moves more, some less. The trend matters more than any single week.
Some articles may be helpful, but if there are signs of an eating disorder please seek appropriate clinical support first. Reach out to a qualified clinician, or to a national eating-disorder charity in your country.
Yes — use the contact page to send a question, suggestion or correction. We read everything, even if we can't reply to every message individually.
