My passions

I’m busy. I know you are too. I aim to make it easier for you to eat well, not harder – I hate all those diets and can help you with healthy weight loss long-term – Love testing new products and reviewing new diet books – Enjoy cooking healthy food but don’t want to be chained to the kitchen

My peeves

All the nonsense and confusion that surrounds food, eating and diets these days – Stupid fad diets that promise fast weight loss and suck you in – Unhealthy fast food dripping with grease and overloaded with salt or sugar – and not a vegetable in sight?

My philosophy

Healthy eating is important for everyone, regardless of age or gender – Eat to nourish your body, not to lose weight –  Think nutrient-dense whole foods – Don’t eat if you’re not hungry. Stop when you’re at a comfortable fullness, not over-stuffed.

 

My food rules

Follow my 90:10 Rule. Eat healthily 90 per cent of the time and enjoy a treat 10 per cent – A little of what you fancy makes for pleasure and enjoyment – Aim for balance – ONE chocolate won’t throw your whole diet off track, but the whole box will! Get the balance right.

  • We love using Catherine’s content as our public members find it easy to understand in Nosh Magazine while our professional members also appreciate the detail and references.

    Tracey Emney
    Founder and CEO of www.n4foodandhealth.com
  • I have been receiving your Foodwatch newsletter for nearly 10 years now (or since its inception – it feels like 10 years). I have long retired from the fitness industry but your Foodwatch newsletter is still the best (and only) subscription that I maintain to any mailing list. The quality is second to none and I still refer it to people as the most authoritative nutritional information in Australia.

  • I still have a well-worn copy of your 1986 Nutrition for Life book. It was my bible when studying a health food course :)

    Michelle McCallam

  • I have always been an avid fan of your work and your solid nutrition philosophies.

    Robyn Perlstein
    Dietitian
