Carmen Beard - Mobile Nutrition

My name is Carmen Beard. Nutrition has been of interest for me for quite a few years and before doing my Advanced Diploma in Nutritional Medicine, I learnt so much through independent research. I am always and constantly looking up information and reading articles, not a day goes by I'm not learning something new and I love it!

From a young age I struggled with my weight, and it got worse around the age of 14 when I ended up with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I ate the wrong foods, slept a lot and gained a lot of weight. The struggle was real; I knew I needed to do something about it but didn't know what. I didn't have the motivation or guidance to do it. In the time been treated for CFS I was having stomach problems and was told I was Lactose Intolerant.

After my first child I managed to lose 20kg by changing my meal sizes; but in that time I also had to have my gallbladder removed and ended up with digestive problems. Seeing a gastroenterologist I was diagnosed with Fructose Malabsorption (and also found out I wasn't Lactose Intolerant after all). My second pregnancy I piled all the weight back on and I knew I needed to make some big changes. I tried many things (diet pills, personal training, I even started dancing) but nothing budged, until I saw someone about my digestive problems.

I changed my diet drastically at this stage; I was on bland restrictive elimination diets trying to work out what I could and couldn't tolerate; and the weight just started dropping off. I went from processed, packaged, unhealthy food, to clean, fresh and healthy options, and not only did I start looking better, I felt it! It's a long term, life changing pathway, but it's worth it, I lost in total around 50kg from food changes and been active.
