So...what do you do exactly? | Scale Beyond Scale

A little glimpse into what we do and do not do.

Feel free to add to this list if you have some more specific insights :)
‍

WHAT WE DO?

1. Urge the consumption of healthy foods

2. Encourage elimination of processed and packaged foods; things that are sold under the pretext of ‘quick,”easy,”instant’

3. Advocate exercise as a means to get healthier and fitter and plan good meals to sustain said exercise

4. Suggest nutrient supplements based on individual case history and need

5. Provide evidence based guidelines on meal intake and good lifestyle habits

WHAT WE DO NOT DO?

1. Prescribe a ‘diet’ that demands starvation, restriction, food limitations or elimination of a particular food group such as carbohydrates or fat or solid foods altogether. P.S. We also dislike the term ‘detox’

2. Recommend or endorse a specific brand of tea, seeds, nutrient supplements or the latest health food

3. Push heat treatments, machines that claim ‘fat melting’ and sitting in hot rooms for hours hoping that it would magically have an effect on body composition

4. Promote ‘fat burning’ pills and other medications which claim to have an instant effect on body-weight

5. Support latest diet and exercise trends as propagated by popular media

Fake Intoxication

This write-up is a true hidden gem I re-discovered and it made me so nostalgic! Have you creatively gotten yourself out of situations that need you to overeat and/or drink when you just didn't feel up to it?

Coconut water versus Juice

I wrote this in 2014 - an entire 6 years ago! In the last 6 years, my writing voice has definitely matured and evolved. Phew! But more importantly, in the last 6 years, everyone in the West has caught on to the goodness of coconut water and it has become a mighty wellness trend. The coconut water I recommend is still the same though - the one that comes from the tree and not from a packet/bottle you get at the organic supermarket. P.S. The image at the bottom of the full article is my favourite recent coconut water plug seen and taken from the 'Overheard in NYC' Instagram page.

Client love

It seems as though the thought of doing something professionally which is more "challenging" and "intellectually stimulating" has been gnawing at me for many years now. But all these years, the one thing I have held on to dearly and cherished is how even though on a small scale, my work is making a difference in people’s lives. Here is a little gem I fished out from my Inbox which made me smile ear to ear :)

Pocket Full of Sunshine

I wrote this in 2015 for a magazine and it was only my second time writing a published piece! When I re-read this now, I find it intriguing how while my voice sounds a teeennyy bit immature, all of the concepts are still on point! Happy reading! And feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
