This is awesome! Although garlic can be stinky, it adds a delicious taste to any savory meal. It’s so much better that it has these benefits. I bet roasted garlic is amazing. I love putting garlic cloves mixed in with roasted potatoes. So yummy! 🧄 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Garlic: tiny clove, big benefits. 🧄 It contains allicin, linked to heart and immune health. Plus, it’s antimicrobial, antioxidant-rich, and delicious. Add it raw for more potency, or roasted for a mellow, sweet flavor boost. #RealWorldNutrition

During finals week, I always make sure to eat a good, healthy breakfast. This helps me fuel my body and mind for the day. I usually eat eggs mixed with cottage cheese and a side of fruit or toast! I also make sure to have good snacks throughout the day just in case! 🥚🥯🥒 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

This looks delicious! It’s important to enjoy these foods sometimes. You should never restrict yourself completely. I feel like a super strict diet could cause disordered eating or a frusturated mindset. As long as you’re not eating these foods everyday, enjoy it! 🧈🍞 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Grilled cheese is one of the classic comfort foods. Want to make it more balanced?
Try adding tomatoes or avocado. Or not.
It's okay if you have it with extra cheese or butter. Just don’t make it a “guilty” pleasure. Enjoy every single bite.

I definitely struggle with mindless eating. That’s why I try to portion snacks when I feel like I need something extra to hold me over. I need to learn to eat more mindfully. I feel like I find myself finishing my food way faster than i should have. I will try this! 🍌🍎 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Mindless eating happens when we eat on autopilot—like snacking in front of the TV. Mindful eating, on the other hand, helps us slow down, savor each bite, and make more intentional choices. Want to find balance between the two? Read more here: www.shelleyrael.com/blog/mindles...

A barrier to healthful eating that I face would be lack of time to plan/shop/cook healthier. I feel that because I am a student with a very busy schedule, it’s hard to make time to cook every meal for the week. Especially since I work a job on top of school. 📝 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I really like this. Sometimes it’s nice to treat yourself without worrying about the added calories. Life is full of joy and it’s important to live life to the fullest. I like going out for ice cream with friends, especially in the summer time 🍦☀️ @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
"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.

An Atkins diet is one that is based on a low carb intake. I would be interested in this approach, as carbs are something I enjoy the most. Doing this could help with weight loss and allow me to focus on eating other food groups like protein and fiber.🥖🥯🥨 @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

Yess! Rotisserie chicken is amazing haha! It helps me reach my protein goals and it’s so good to use when making other meals throughout the week (although it’s best warm🍗) I want to start meal prepping more often, so this will definitely give me some good ideas for that😊. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Once again I’m giving thanks to the precooked rotisserie chicken at the grocery store. I can't even name all the times it has saved me meal prep time and has come in so handy in times of desperate last minute dinner options.
Honestly the best. 10/10. No notes.

A lot of unlearning is needed by medical professionals and society when it comes to weight and health, not just new definitions. Kindness and respect for bodies is needed too.
