Yes!! Diet is a crucial piece to managing immunocompromised patients. Food is fuel & a lack of nutrients is fuel for these diseases to continue getting worse! @beh353.bsky.social

I plan to work closely with dieticians and create realistic & comparable diet plans that focus on quality of life without being overly restrictive. I plan to use evidence based pop press articles as they are easier to understand. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This is such an interesting read! It is so true, patients are always asking for caffine. We restrict during inpatient stays then discharge them to drink caffine independently. We should dissect a patients diet and find alternatives rather than force feed the textbook diet #beh353
More evidence that our overly restrictive hospital diets could actually be causing harm. There aren’t many interventions out there that can improve both clinical AND patient satisfaction outcomes quite like a cup of morning joe! ☕️

After taking this course I learned how easily people are swayed by popular press articles. Now I know to make sure they're peer reviewed and hold scientific backing & can be cross-verified with other sources rather than word of mouth!! @beh353.bsky.social

Especially when caring for children it is important not to demonize and restrict foods. Nothing is good for you without moderation and discipline. @beh353.bsky.social
"Omg that is full of calories and full of sugar! So bad for you!" Have you ever considered that it is also full of joy, and with the dystopian reality we're currently in that's equally important? There is room for both nutrients and joy. It's possible.

In times like this it is important to find budget friendly meals and recognize that the affordable options are often processed. The $6 a day once offered by SNAP will not produce protein and produce packed meals. Fed is best. @beh353.bsky.social
Feed a family of 4 for under $5! Try budget-friendly meals like chili, veggie stir-fry, or bean quesadillas. Shop smart: use coupons, BOGO deals, bulk buys & store brands. Cook once, eat twice—save money & reduce waste. #BudgetMeals #FoodSecurity #SNAP dietitians-online.blogspot.com/2025/11/budg...

After reading Tom's story, it is important to remember that even when a person loses the weight they still feel the affects of former obesity. With my patients I will approach weight sensitively as there is always the fear of gaining it back. @beh353.bsky.social

Don't let greasy food be the killer. Air-fried and grilled reheats better anyways!! @beh353.bsky.social
Greasy foods are tasty but can cause bloating, weight gain, and increased health risks if eaten excessively. Fried foods slow digestion, strain your gut, and impair brain function. Opt for grilled, baked, or air-fried instead. #NationalGreasyFoodsDay www.healthline.com/nutrition/gr...

I really appreciated that James Corden said that when we are trying to encourage others on what to eat we should watch what comes out of ours. I will take this with me and approach weight management sensitively and be mindful of how hard it truly is. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

This is so important. The craze about non-iodized salt has created a large iodine deficiency in the United States! @beh353.bsky.social
Iodine is crucial for brain and thyroid health. A deficiency can lead to mental delays, goiter, or thyroid disease. Get iodine from seafood, iodized salt, and plants grown in iodine-rich soil. #Nutrition #Iodine #GlobalIodineDeficiencyDisorderDay dietitians-online.blogspot.com/2017/10/glob...

I usually have a bowl with chicken & rice once a week. I could make it with quinoa, chickpeas, chicken, lentils, feta, carrots and cucumbers. I could also have some frozen pineapple and straberries for dessert. to really hit all the main groups and fulfill my nutritional needs. @beh353.bsky.social

I recorded from 5pm last night to 5pm today. I have done this before for my Dr. so I didn't find it hard. It's accurate bc I am restricted & I was surprised on how many carbs I eat. They are one of the only things I digest so not surprised; weird seeing my restrictions on paper @beh353.bsky.social

I found it really interesting that the media talks about avoiding fats but fails to mention that cell communication is dependent on our lipids. Without lipids supporting our cells and their function we'd be unable to even THINK about demonizing them. #lipidsrock @beh353.bsky.social

When talking about nutrition we often ignore the living conditions of others. Demonizing food not only creates unhealthy habits but ignores that fact that nutrition is all about balance. These inescapable processed foods must be balanced with 'healthier' things. @beh353.bsky.social
I know we like to demonize “processed foods” but those foods sure are there in times of emergency, like when you’ve been displaced from your home due to wild fires, for example.
