Fitness influencer Kayla Itsines 'told off' for her choice of breakfast - after sharing emotional health update
Kayla Itsines has been called out by a surprising critic over her choice of breakfast food.
The fitness influencer, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a clip which showed her tucking into her morning meal.
She appeared to be enjoying a plate of leftovers as she scooped forkfuls of pasta into her mouth - but one person was unimpressed with her culinary choices.
It seems Kayla's breakfast did not sit well with her eldest child Arna, six, who was quick to call out her mother for being 'unhealthy'.
'What did you say, Arna? What's wrong with my food.' Kayla asked in the clip as she continued to enjoy her pasta.

Arna said she couldn't understand her mum's unique breakfast choice, particularly given she and little brother Jax, two, ate healthy for their first meal of the day.
'Why would you have pasta for breakfast?' she asked.
'Look at me and Jaxy and Jae [Woodroffe, Kayla's fiancé] - we're eating healthy breakfast. And that's not good breakfast. That's dinner food.'
Not bowing to the dressing down, Kayla continued to enjoy her pasta breakfast while explaining to her daughter: 'It's still healthy.'

It comes after Kayla shared an emotional video this week when doctors found a lesion on her cervix.
The fitness influencer posted to Instagram on Tuesday as she prepared to go to her cancer appointment a year after the lesion discovery, breaking down as she expressed her nerves.
'I had one of those appointments a year and a bit ago and they found a pre-cancerous lesion on my cervix and I had to go and get it removed,' she told her fans.
The fitness influencer took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a clip which showed her tucking into her morning meal - and her choice of dish did not sit well with daughter Arna, six.
'I'm going in today and I'm so anxious,' the 34-year-old confessed to the camera with tears in her eyes.
'I'm so nervous and I'm trying to train. I don't know why I feel like I'm about to cry,' she said as her voice broke.
She then posted a follow-up video as she was getting into her car to make her way to the appointment.
'I'm not going,' she began the post, before quickly backtracking.
'I'm kidding. I'm going. I'm going!
'I'm gonna go there and there's going to be nothing wrong. I'm going to be like, "Oh wow, beautiful, amazing,"' she said as she pep-talked herself.
She later thanked her fans for the outpouring of support she received in the wake of her Instagram clips.
In January, Kayla opened up about a shock health scare which led her to be hospitalised.
Alongside a photo of her lying in a hospital bed, Kayla revealed she had been suffering from some frightening symptoms.
She said she couldn't talk properly, was having trouble focusing her eyes and had a headache which felt like her 'brain was going to explode'.
The post was re-shared by Instagram account Influencer Updates with Amber Paul.
A second image was a photo of Kayla smiling at the camera as she wore a pair of white headphones.
The image also included a screenshot of a period tracker app, displaying the words: 'Period: day 2.'
'Now, should be right mate,' she captioned the second image.
'I think @kayla_itsines is saying she was hospitalised with these symptoms and turns out it was her period coming,' Amber captioned her re-post.

Coles ' own-brand peanut butter has been urgently recalled after it was contaminated by liver cancer-causing chemicals. The 1kg tubs of both the smooth and crunchy Coles Peanut Butter, marked with the date February 5, 2027, have been sold across Australia in supermarkets and online.

'Food products containing aflatoxin may cause illness/injury if consumed,' the notice said. 'Consumers should return the product(s) to the place of purchase for a full refund.' 'Aflatoxins are poisonous and liver cancer-causing chemicals that are produced by certain moulds which grow in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, grains, oilseeds and tree nuts,' Food Standards said in 2023.

Urgent health warning issued for Sydney after person with measles returns from Vietnam
Thousands of people in Sydney have been warned to stay alert for signs and symptoms of measles. NSW Health issued the urgent warning on Monday after a person who had returned from Vietnam, where there is a large outbreak, and visited the city while contagious. Anyone who was at the cafe Sir Reuben in Rozelle on Sunday between 12 and 1pm, and at Concord Hospital Emergency Department from 10.35pm on Saturday until 3.10am, has been urged to check if they have developed symptoms. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease which can cause serious complications and is a common cause of death in children under five in some parts of the world. It is rare in Australia but there is an increased risk of the disease in the greater Melbourne area, NSW Health said. There have been outbreaks in countries including Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, and Indonesia, which also increases the risk of it being brought back to Australia. Sydney Local Health District Director of Public Health, Dr Leena Gupta urged Australians in the city to monitor their symptoms. 'Measles is a vaccine preventable disease that is spread through the air when someone who is infectious coughs or sneezes,' she said. 'Symptoms to watch out for include fever, runny nose, sore eyes and a cough, usually followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head to the rest of the body. 'It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to appear after an exposure, so it's important for people who visited these locations to look out for symptoms up until 18 July.' Anyone who develops symptoms must call ahead to their GP or emergency department to avoid them interacting with other patients in waiting rooms. Measles is commonly spread when a person breathes in the virus which has been coughed or sneezed into the air. The disease is thought to be one of the most easily spread of all human infections and being in the same room as someone can result in infection. The infectious period usually stretches from just before the symptoms begin until four days after the rash appears. Dr Gupta also reminded Sydneysiders to remain up to date with their vaccinations, adding that the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is 'safe and effective'. 'The measles vaccine can prevent the disease even after exposure, if given early enough,' she said. 'Anyone born after 1965 needs to ensure they have had two doses of measles vaccine. 'This is especially important before overseas travel, as measles outbreaks are occurring in several regions of the world at the moment.' The MMR vaccine is given free for children at 12 and 18 months of age and is free in New South Wales to anyone born after 1965 who hasn't already had two doses. NSW Health advised that children under the age of 12 months can have their first dose of MMR up to six months early if they are travelling overseas. Parents have been told to consult their GP People who are unsure of whether they have had two doses should get a vaccine, as additional doses are safe. This is particularly important prior to travel.

Concern as researchers link 'healthy' snacks to raised risk of a sudden heart attack
Oily fish, nuts and avocados—prized for being sources of 'healthy' fats—may not be as good for us as previously believed, scientists have claimed. The key culprit, according to Australian researchers, is fats in these foods known as omega-3—which studies have previously suggested protect heart health. However new evidence suggests omega-3 is linked to inflammation in the body, increasing the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and even a heart attack. The findings come from a major study involving 2,800 participants in the landmark Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as Children of the 90s—one of the most detailed long-term health studies ever carried out. Researchers have followed the health of over 14,000 families in the Avon area since 1991, when the mothers were first recruited during pregnancy. The latest research looked at data collected when the children turned 24. After accounting for lifestyle factors such as smoking, scientists found that diets rich in omega-6 were associated with higher levels of GlycA—a blood biomarker linked to chronic inflammation, cancer and heart problems. Omega-6, found in vegetable and seed oils, has, in recently years, increasingly been associated with poor heart health. However, surprisingly, the researchers also found increased GlycA in those who consumed foods rich in omega-3 fats, which are usually considered 'heart healthy'. Professor Thomas Holland, from the RUSH institute for Healthy Aging, Chicago, who was not involved in the study, told Medical News Today the results were 'unexpected'. He added: 'Omega-3s are found in dark fatty fish, like salmon and sardines, and in plant-based foods like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. 'Most people think of them as calming to the immune system. Yet in this study, higher omega-3 levels were linked to more inflammation, not less.' Lead author of the study, Professor Daisy Crick, an expert in molecular science from Queensland University, said: 'Our findings suggest that it's not as simple as "omega-3 is anti-inflammatory and omega-6 is pro-inflammatory".' She added that simply upping omega-3 intake may not be enough to cut inflammation or protect against heart disease. 'Improving the balance between the two fats could be a better method for people who want to reduce inflammation in their bodies,' she said. The study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, calls for further research to better understand how different fatty acids affect long-term health. Seed oils—such as sunflower, soybean and rapeseed—are high in polyunsaturated fats and have long been promoted as a 'heart healthy' alternative to saturated fats like butter and lard. But Professor Holland warned that rising consumption of seed oils could be fuelling obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and even autoimmune conditions. Around 6.3 million people in the UK are thought to have raised cholesterol, which if left untreated can cause heart attacks and strokes, and seed oils may be contributing to this, Prof Holland suggested. It comes as alarming figures last year revealed that premature deaths from heart attacks and strokes had reached their highest level in more than a decade. MailOnline has previously highlighted how the number of young people, under 40, in England being treated for heart attacks by the NHS is on the rise. Cases of heart attacks, heart failure and strokes among the under-75s has tumbled since the 1960s. This is believed to be due to plummeting smoking rates, advanced surgical techniques and breakthroughs such as stents and statins. But now, rising obesity rates, and its catalogue of associated health problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes, are thought to be one of the major contributing factors.
