I am most looking forward to stuffing this year! We typically do regular stuffing, but a few years ago my brother moved to the south and introduced us to "cornbread gravy". Now we do a mix of both and I am so excited. @beh353 #beh353

This post is perfect post for this week! Different demographics require different nutrition needs and this is so informative! @beh353 #beh353

I chose this article because it is in a clear format that is easy to understand, it is sectioned into different nutrition categories (calories, fats, etc) and gives age/sex specifics to make it more detailed so patients are able to read the sections that pertain to them @beh353 #beh353

This is an important post for this week because the mindset of "earning your food" is what leads to yo-yo dieting and a never ending cycle of restricting/binging @beh353 #beh353
PSA: You don’t have to earn your food. It’s not a reward for being “good” or punishment for being “bad.”

From this essay, my main takeaway is that the best way to live a healthy lifestyle is doing what is best for you. Not everyone could eat chick-fil-a everyday, but that is what worked for Tom and made him happy. The best way to lose weight is by doing it in a way you enjoy @beh353 #beh353

This posts related to my reply this week, so many people just look at someone and assume all these things about them without knowing anything that is going on with that person. Even people who we are supposed to trust, this is why fat shaming is so normalized. @beh353 #beh353

I learned that healthcare cost is significantly more for a patient with obesity. While knowing healthy food costs more, I imagine this causes a viscous cycle of bigger medical bills leading to less money for heathy food @beh353 #beh353

I found this so interesting! It really shows how cooking ang nutrion is a science, which also shows why it is so complex to understand! What a fun fact! @beh353 #beh353
Someone asked why melted cheese tastes so much better...I love these Qs, it's food science we take for granted!
Melting breaks down fats and proteins to release umami + aroma/flavour compounds. The gooey texture spreads to the tastebuds better + the Maillard reaction creates that toasty flavour.

I struggle with unhealthy diet of friends and family. When im in my appt I eat and buy healthy foods and whenever I visit my family I tend to fall into their habits and eat unhealthy @beh353 #beh353

This is such an important topic because the nutrition industry has become profitable so it is so hard to get accurate information @beh353 #beh353

This is such an important take on nutriion, socitety right now has a very strong all or nothing mindset that is more harmful than any specific food could be @beh353 #beh353
There is no “one right way” to eat. Healthy eating is not about being perfect for a day or a few months. Your lifestyle will always be a work in progress. Consequently, making dietary changes is something you commit to for the rest of your life.

Every week there is some new food myth to contend with.  Whether you see or hear it on television, radio, magazine covers or a social media feed, it can lead to confusion. "Influencers" who offer nut...

I got an article from AHA that recommends tips for a healthy heart bc my major is in cardiology;so this article would be helpful to my patients. This is a high quality article bc the information is accurate based on what I have learned in this class and AHA is trusted @beh353 #beh353

This is such an important post relating back to the popular press assignment. People dont want to put in effort to be educated so they believe the things easier to understand @beh353 #beh353
The sheer speed at which people hit a like button or make one-word affirmation comments in response to posts with articles linking to misinformation or propaganda, that they neither read, or question, (ie look up one other source), is astonishing.

The atkins diet claims to be a weight loss method that does not require exercise, which is great because if you completely out carbs lie it wants you to do, you will barely have enough energy to get off the couch! #BEH353 @beh353.bsky.social

I love this post because it is so important to remember the little things besides working out and eating healthy, you wont feel your best if the rest if your self care isnt being focused on
Health is not only about workouts or diets. It is also how stress, sleep, and daily habits are managed. Self-care is keeping the body and mind in balance so there is energy left for what matters most. #RealWorldNutrition #HealthTips

One of my favorite meals is pasta, to make it more nutrient dense I use chickpea pasta for fiber and protein, add some chicken meatballs for protein and then some roasted veggies for minerals and fiber. Its so yummy @beh353 #beh353

Unfortunately I am victim to this. I love to talk about how I dont eat processed food but I do love a protein shake after a workout. Sometimes its about balance! @beh353 #beh353
People love to bash ultra-processed foods (UPFs) til they realize the protein powder in their smoothies is a UPF.

I learned that amino acids are essential things that we need to get through food bc our body does not make them. Going off of that I learned that complete proteins contain all essential amino acids and incomplete proteins do not. #beh353 @beh353

Someone selling something wants you to keep coming back for more and if it works right away or actually changes your lifestyle the company stops making money. Ex. weight loss drugs usually stop working if you stop taking them so they are not always a permanent solution! #beh353 @beh353
just remember that if diets worked, there wouldn’t be a multi-billion dollar weight loss/diet/wellness industry that continues to grow and exceed profits each year.

Something that I never thought about when getting scientific information is considering the fact studies are done on mice and I never thought twice about it. I trusted the science because it was done by scientist, but it is literally on a different spieces. @beh353 #beh353

I am DMS Echo class of 2026. Im an the class because I love cooking and fueling my body. I want to learn more about the benefits and importance of fiber. I associated healthy eating with the word balance. My favorite food is sandwiches:) @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
