MS Dietetics + fiber lover my opinions ≠ medical advice 🍊🐾🥗 [email protected]

Replying to @Kp  Since I’ve had so many asking, here are easy ways to sneak more fiber in!  A lack of fiber has been correlated with gastrointestinal issues (PMID: 33208922), an inflammatory colon (Colitis) (PMID: 33708211), IBS and bowel cancers (PMID: 32493399).  #fiber #nutrition Pinned

Not my usual content, but this trend is just too good not to share! When we got Millie, she was abandoned in a park, covered in feces, underweight and had worms. Now, she is glowing, thriving and living her best life! #rescuedog #adoptdontshop

These are my takes and plans - and yes, they’re all evidence based. Birth doesn’t have to be scary, babies don’t have to be scary - do your research with evidence based sources!  #birth #nutrition

If you’re scared to give your child the vitamin K shot, please let me ease your worries with science backed evidence.  You deserve to make informed decisions for your child, and to have your information coming from correct (and non fear mongering) sources.  #vitamink #nutrition

Yes, I know more about nutrition than you. No, that doesn’t mean I’m better or smarter than you, it just means I’ve spent 6.5 years studying nutrition science.  That doesn’t mean that you need a degree to know that eating fruits and vegetables, lean protein and unsaturated fats are better for you than fast food. That doesn’t mean you don’t know how your diet can affect you. It just means you likely don’t know the full scope of what food is doing for you, or the nuances it holds. That’s why clinicians like me go to school for so long. So we can help you, so you can lean on us.  6+ years of school is not the same as a google search or a short certification course. Don’t pretend it is.  #nutrition #dietitian #hottake

TAKE CARE OF YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. Having a high a1c is a serious health issue and you NEED TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. A1C can come down through medication, diet and exercise. It takes time and dedication. You know what won’t come back? Your leg! Or a toe! Or a foot! Take care of yourself so you can have a whole life!  #diabetes #a1c #nutrition

Like vaccines or not, the vitamin K shot has NOTHING to do with them. PLEASE get it for your baby, it is a clotting agent!  These are just some of the things I’ve seen in the hospital in my short time as a dietetic intern. (I’ve been very busy, hence why I haven’t been posting as much)  #dietitian #hottake

Don’t overhaul your life just because you have PMOS. Small tweaks will get you to a sustainable place - don’t stress yourself out more than necessary.  Eat enough protein and fiber, move your body (in a way you enjoy!) and get enough rest.  Everything else will come with time.  #PCOS #PMOS #Nutrition

Eating doesn’t have to be boring, and doesn’t have to be black and white. There is nutrition in everything you eat - even if it’s a sweet, thick slice of sourdough, or bite of brownie.  Obviously, we want to make sure we are eating *mostly* unprocessed, nutrient dense, foods - but a homemade sweet treat here and there never hurts and brings so much enjoyment to life!  I typically base my meals off of two things: protein and fiber. You’ll see a combo of both on each meal. Green beans with chicken and rice, fruit with yogurt, potatoes with salmon. These partners keep me fuller for longer, with consistent energy, provide my body with loads of micronutrients, and help me to meet my goals. I find that if one of those categories is lacking, I crash and get hungrier much faster.  What have you been eating lately?  #mealinspo #PCOS #PMOS #nutrition

Don’t fibermaxx, just get enough in to meet your needs!  Women need at least 25g of fiber daily, and men need 38g+. This should be a nonnegotiable in your diet (especially if you have a chronic illness like PCOS, endometriosis, type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance).  An important note: if you are consciously increasing your fiber intake, INCREASE YOUR WATER INTAKE. If not, you could feel bloated, have belly aches and constipation - especially if your body is not used to larger amounts of fiber.   Happy eating!  #fibermaxxing #pcos #fiber
