Sometimes, it’s not the big meals you notice, it is the little habits that happen almost every day.
Extra bites, sugary drinks, mindless snacking, large portions or eating when you are not really hungry can quietly add up over time.
Swipe through to see some everyday habits that may be making weight loss harder than it needs to be.
The goal isn’t perfection, it’s becoming more aware of the habits that could be working against you.
100 calories can look very different depending on what you’re eating.
On one side, you have a generous portion of cucumber, mixed vegetables and garden egg. On the other, 100 calories of peanut paste, nutella and sausage looks like just a few bites.
And that’s where it can get tricky.
You might think, “It’s just a little bit. I’ll just have one bite.” But those little bites of calorie-dense foods can add up quickly without making you feel like you’ve eaten much.
When weight loss is your goal, choosing more filling, nutrient-dense foods can make it easier to manage your overall calorie intake while still enjoying the foods you love.
Sometimes, it’s not about eating less food. It’s about making your food work better for you.
Are you struggling with knowing the right meal options for you? Send us a DM for dietitian support.
You went for an evening walk, got your steps in, came home feeling accomplished and then built a mountain of eba and soup with barely any protein.
This is why exercise and nutrition have to work together.
Exercise is important. It supports your heart health, fitness, strength, mood and overall wellbeing. But when it comes to weight loss, what you eat also matters because it’s much easier to consume more calories than you burn through exercise.
That doesn’t mean you have to avoid eba or stop enjoying your favorite meals. It means paying attention to portions and building more balanced meals. Add adequate protein, vegetables or fibre, reasonable portions of your carbs and healthy fats where appropriate.
So yes, keep taking those walks. Keep exercising. Just remember that your workout doesn’t give you a free pass to ignore what’s on your plate.
You can’t out-exercise your diet.

And remember, you don’t have to finish everything on the menu.
Yes, you only live once, but you should listen to your body too.
When you feel full, stop eating.

Most health problems don’t start overnight.
Diabetes at 35 may have roots in habits and lifestyle patterns that started years earlier. Obesity at 30 didn’t suddenly appear at 30. The choices we make repeatedly, what we eat, how active we are, how we sleep and how we manage our health can add up over time.
This isn’t about guilt or blaming your younger self. It’s about recognising that small habits can have long-term consequences, but small changes can also make a difference.
You don’t have to wait until a health problem shows up before you start taking your health seriously.
Your future health is being shaped by what you do today.
PMOS is more than just irregular periods.
It can affect different aspects of a woman’s health and may show up through symptoms such as:
- Acne and skin changes
- Strong cravings, especially for junk foods
- Anxiety, mood swings or depression
- Difficulty sleeping
- Headaches and migraines
- Irregular or absent periods
- Excess facial or body hair
-
- Difficulty getting pregnant
Not every woman with PMOS will experience all of these symptoms, and they can vary from person to person.
If you’re experiencing several of these symptoms, especially alongside irregular periods, speak with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and support.
Understanding your symptoms is an important first step.

Reported improvements after bariatric surgery include:
- Irregular/absent menstrual periods: 80–95%
- Anovulation: 80–100%
- Infertility related to anovulation: substantial improvement, with pregnancy rates of 95–100%
- Excess facial or body hair: 55% complete resolution
- Acne: 70% improvement
- Insulin resistance: 90% improvement
- Type 2 diabetes associated with PMOS: 90% reduction/remission in appropriately selected patients
- Hypertension associated with PMOS: 80% reduction/remission
Weight loss surgery isn’t a cure for PMOS, but for eligible patients, significant weight loss can help manage and sometimes resolve many of its symptoms.

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is a condition that occurs when the pressure around the brain becomes abnormally high, and one of the most common symptoms is persistent or severe headaches. Some people may also experience symptoms such as blurred or temporary loss of vision, pulsatile ringing in the ears or nausea.
For people with this condition who are overweight or obese, weight loss can play an important role in managing the condition. Some patients who undergo significant weight loss after a weight loss intervention, including bariatric surgery or a gastric balloon, report major improvement in their symptoms, and some may experience remission of the condition.
But please don’t assume every headache is caused by Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, or that weight loss is the answer to every headache.
Persistent or unexplained headaches should always be properly evaluated by a healthcare professional, especially when accompanied by changes in vision or other concerning symptoms.
Sometimes, looking beyond the headache itself can help uncover what’s really going on.
