I like this post because it is a reminder that everything that is working for someone else may not work for you. It is not because that is something wrong with you, it's because all our bodies are different. Different things works for different people. @beh353 #beh353
The trolls love to say "Don't listen to her about nutrition - you might end up looking like her." But I'm not telling you to eat like me (that would be silly; you're not me & I don't know enough about you)
But as instructional as I get is to say -- be wary of instructional one size fits all advice.

There’s so much content out there, and it isn’t always evidence-based. That’s why I chose to share this post about Thanksgiving turkey myths. Its breaks down common myths with clear, easy-to-understand facts from a registered dietitian instead of just a random person posting. @beh353 #beh353
Think your turkey’s full of hormones or antibiotics? It’s not. And tryptophan isn’t what’s putting you to sleep. “Talking Turkey” breaks down the biggest Thanksgiving myths.

The food I am most looking forward to eating on Thanksgiving is stuffing and mash potatoes. I eat mash potatoes sometimes but eating it during Thanksgiving is different. I don't have any secret recipes because we go to my mom's friends house! I hope everyone has an good Thanksgiving! @beh353 #beh353

I love this reminder. Especially with the semester ending and finals coming up, it’s so important to pause and check in with ourselves. Progress really is about awareness, not perfection. @beh353 #beh353

That’s such an important reminder! I agree, food isn’t just fuel, it’s emotional and cultural too. Building a healthy relationship with food means appreciating it for nourishment and enjoyment without guilt. @beh353 #beh353
“food is just fuel” is a popular saying in the fitness world. and sure, food can be fuel, but it can also be so much more.
food can be a way to connect with other people, cultures, and our memories.
you don’t have to moralize foods or punish yourself for enjoying them.

I agree! I feel like when people want to loose weight, they go on a strict diet and try to cut out all sweets or processed food. I feel like it is okay to have snack or sweet treat once in a while. #beh353 @beh353
Exactly! Using what I've learned in class this week, ultra-processed foods shouldn't be shamed, just limited. Tom's weight loss using Chick-fil-A reminds me of this post because although he had his default salad, he allowed himself to snack occasionally without ruining his pattern. #beh353 @beh353
There’s no need to shame yourself for enjoying chips or soda. “Junk food” is a loaded term. Try thinking of it as a sometimes food. Health is about patterns, not all-or-nothing. One snack doesn’t undo your well-being. #RealWorldNutrition

That’s a really good point! Obesity affects so many aspects of health like mental health. As future healthcare workers, being aware of how widespread it is can help us focus on prevention, patient education, and promoting healthier lifestyles in our communities. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
