I wanted to talk about this post as I think it would be beneficial if we brought more light about school lunches since kids typically eat what is offered to them and can't make healthier choices that we do @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Limit stuff we already know are big parts of lousy diets: sugar, salt, sat fat (yeah, sat fat).
And the one we don't pay enough attention to: calorie-density.
Make school lunch better the old-fashioned way, without having to re-define ultra-processed foods.

What makes foods so easy to overeat isn’t the level of processing — it’s the density of calories, a.k.a. energy density.

I wanted to highlight this as we have been talking a lot lately in class about fat and we should try to promote more healthy behaviors rather than fat shaming someone in order for them to be healthy. We shouldn't be looking at how the body looks to determine health @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
stop teaching children that only a thin body is a healthy body.
if we want to teach about health, we can focus on behaviors that promote health: finding joyful movement, having a loving relationship with food, and taking care of our mental health.
keep anti-fat bias out.

For the longest time, I had the assumption that any salad is healthy. It was only until I started learning about the dressing, toppings, and amounts also matter. I wonder what type of dressing is the best since a lot are oil based, or what creamy dressing is healthy. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Salads can be super healthy, or sneaky junk food in disguise. Creamy dressings, fried toppings & sugary add-ons = calorie bombs. Go for dark greens, grilled protein, fresh veggies, and healthy fats. Build smart, eat fresh! #Salads #nnm www.webmd.com/diet/ss/slid...

One of the barriers that I can relate with is the lack of time for healthy foods. When I have big exams to prepare for, I try to prioritize my time on studying rather than prepping meals and tend to eat out more often on those weeks which are not the healthiest options. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I think this is very vital to discuss as we have been talking about various diets. Not every diet will work for everyone as there are many and there are so many diets that can result in various outcomes. I wonder what diet everyone should mostly avoid though. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
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.

2 in 5 diets "fail" in the first 7 days.
But this isn't us failing.
It's the diets that fail us.
Highly restrictive diets aren't sustainable because of biology and life. Quitting a diet isn't a personal or moral failing. It's not that you just lack willpower, it's that the system sucks.
