Raya Belinda Coaching

Best road trip snack 😍

Most road trip snacks are usually way too easy to overeat on and contain minimal protein but these bad boys are always a good choice ✅ not only tasty but super good macros! 😋😋
Raya10 is my discount code if you’d like to grab yourself a box, link is in bio 🫶🏼 xx

Photo 1: my dad holding his two favorite supplements ✔️
Photo 2: my dad the night of his skydiving accident, when both his parachutes failed and we thought he wouldn’t survive the night. 🪂
Photo 3: first time back at his fav place, the ocean 🌊
Photo 4: first time back walking at the beach 🏖️
Photo 5: his first run/walk event our whole family got to do together 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧
Photo 6: his first TRIATHLON after the accident ✔️

Since then he has done SO many running events and tri’s after we thought he’d never be able to walk again. He’d be the first person to say that the recovery was HARD but totally worth all of the effort. From recovering mentally/emotionally and recovering from ‘survivors guilt’ to the physically recovery and learning how to walk again- it was tough but it goes to show how AMAZING the human body truly is- especially if you nourish it with the right foods, move your body regularly and look after your mental well-being. For dad- the beach has always helped his PTSD over the years so it also helped the mental recovery from this accident too. 🌊
He will never walk the same again, and he has broken bits in his body that will never heal (this side of Heaven) BUT he is so grateful to have a body that thrives 🫶🏼

This is a huge encouragement to you ALL, to look after your body. To prioritise your health, and to NEVER GIVE UP.

God is so good 🙏🏻🤍

HORMONE HEALTH 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
(Keep reading to receive a free mini recipe book).

If you’re currently struggling with your hormones; I would recommend first looking at your nutrition ✅

Instead of thinking “what do I need to cut out of my diet”, think “what can I add into my diet to help my hormones thrive”. ✅
Things like healthy fats (eg avo/butter/nuts etc). 🥑
Things like lean proteins (eg grilled chicken). 🍗
Things like complex carbs (like potatoes/sweet potatoes/brown rice). 🥔

This will help reduce your likelihood of overeating on processed/sugary foods. 🍟 🍫
Sugar really does affect our hormones in so many ways!

My second tip would be to reduce stress!
What strategies do you implement to reduce your stress levels? 👇🏼👇🏼

I have created a PDF with a a heap of recipes to help your hormones thrive. I’m going to send it to you for free if you type “HEALTHY HORMONES” in the comment section below! ⬇️

A little bit about me:
I’m Raya, 32 years old & living in Sunshine Coast, Queensland. I am originally from the Great Ocean Road in Vic & I still feel like it’s home to me. 🏝️

I have the worlds most AMAZING husband, I am obsessed with him and the life we have been blessed with 💕

I am a university qualified Nutritionist & a Personal Trainer but I stopped working at gyms a year ago because I wanted to create an online presence to inspire & encourage more people to prioritize their health. 🔥

My main aim in life is to help people experience true joy & optimal health 💕 I also want people to LOVE their bodies and feel good in them. 🫶🏼
I want people to have SO MUCH energy and laugh a lot.
And I want people to walk in the purpose they were created for. ✅

I also want people to be able to know and experience the love of Jesus that I currently feel because it really does make life a zillion times better 💕

This year my main fitness/health goals are:
Get 3 hours sleep before midnight most nights.
Run in an ultra marathon (at least 50km).
Ensure that I take my supps each day (Greens, Collagen etc).
& be able to do 5 unassisted pull ups. 💥

Lean Protein ✔️✔️
Okay let’s talk about the benefits of consuming lean proteins. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Essential for life 🍃
Promotes a higher metabolism rate 🥰
Supports brain functioning 🧠
By choosing leaner proteins it is better for your heart ❤️
Helps promote weight management 💃🏽
& loads more (including lots of sciencey stuff that I’m interested in but probably would bore you haha so I’ll spare you)
🔥🔥🔥
The crazy thing is, that as we age our bodies actually require MORE lean protein & in this day and age we just aren’t eating enough of it. With the rise in fast food availability and processed food items so readily available at our finger tips- we are consuming less and less protein. Do you know what this does? It weakens us, it makes us more hungry and therefore likely to overeat (hello rise in obesity) and also more risk of injury due to weaker joints/bones/muscles.
Think about it; what do most of us opt for breakfast daily? A bowl of cereal? I’m not dissing cereal (I love Weetbix for brekky haha but always add sources of protein to it), but I can tell you that your bowl of cereal is I’ll most likely only contain about 1/4 of the optimal protein amount or less of the optimal protein amount for your first meal of the day. And it’s usually pretty refined leaving you super hungry by mid-morning with your body CRYING out for more food.
When you go out for dinner, the meal you order may have some chicken or steak but most of the calories would be made up of unnecessary fats and refined/processed carbs.
I LOVE fats and carbs (hello avocado 🥑 and 🍚 YUM and so good for you) but prioritizing protein in your meals will help your body feel more satisfied, with longer lasting energy and is also great for aesthetic purposes too 💁🏼‍♀️

If you are a cereal lover like me; try adding some protein powder on top. If you use a great tasting protein powder like me; it’ll taste AMAZING and will benefit your health more than you know! Or opt for a higher protein omelette or some eggs in a protein wrap or something that’s going to give you a good dose of protein to start your day ⭐️
What other tips do you have? 🫶🏼

Let’s talk WHOLEGRAINS 🍞🥟🍚

SO MUCH FIBER, vitamins, minerals, can help control cholesterol levels & blood pressure, keep your full and energized to live your best life!

I’m a sucker for bread. I love it. And I LOVE wholemeal bread 🥖 a delicious salad sanga with crunch lettuce/tomato/cucumber/beetroot and some protein makes the PERFECT lunch. I’m also a sucker for oats. They’re such a good whole grain. A nice porridge with some protein powder and berries makes an amazing breakfast! Or mix up some oats with almond milk/protein powder and sit it in the fridge overnight to soften and in the morning it’ll taste amazing topped with some fruit and peanut butter 🥰😋
I’m also a sucker for rice. How about cook up some brown rice (it’s worth the wait I promise 🤪), and eat it with some curried veggies/protein OR a stir fry with a some lean meat and finely chopped veg! Mix up a yummy sauce or use a store brought one and you have an amazing dinner! 🥰

What your fav whole grain? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
