Eating Out of Routine

Is Thinner Always Better?

Is thinner always better? This question came up in a conversation with my 15 year old daughter recently.  And without hesitating, she answered yes.   I pressed her a little, and she wavered and changed her answer but deep in her core, her immediate response was the same as probably all of us listening-that yes, being thinner is always more desirable.  That idea comes from a lifetime of conditioning.   Let's talk about this more today!

Weight Loss in the New Year: Do this ONE Thing to Lose Weight

Imagine if your predominant thought was: "I’m not good enough." "I’m doing it wrong. I am wrong. Something about my life is wrong." "I’ll never be as ___ as her. I’m unlovable." "I’m undesirable." "I need to change." If this is your mind chatter, what type of decisions do you think you will make? Most likely, you’ll emotionally eat, snack on comfort foods, and quite possibly overeat.  And if this is consistently the action you take, obviously it will make weight loss and maintaining w...

Weight Loss in the New Year: Need Motivation? It's NOT Just Willpower

Women I talk to often say things like: I just need to have more willpower.  Or I don’t know why I don’t have the willpower or motivation to lose weight. As women we’ve been lead to believe that willpower is the key to achieving their weight loss goals, but it doesn’t work, leads to frustration, guilt and shame when we fail again.   You want lasting habits so simply focusing on willing yourself to a goal only results in short term results.  If you want to make lasting changes that resulting...

Best New Year's Resolution Suggestion From a Registered Dietitian

It’s that time of year!  When we start gearing up for resolutions and we plan for weight loss, eating, and exercise plans.   I’m all for a fresh start and improving ourselves and health but most of us go about it in a very diet culture centric way.   In fact, the term resolution actually means: A firm decision to do or not to do something. And making a resolution means the act of resolving or determining upon an action, course of action, method, procedure, etc. a resolve; a decision or d...

Using the Food Label the Anti Diet Way: 4 Key Tips

Ever look at a food label and feel overwhelmed by the information available?   What really should you be paying attention to on that label and how should you be interpreting the info?   Are some of the claims manufacturers state actually valid and accurate?  Sometimes those claims that manufacturers make can feel really diety and like they’re promoting diet culture.  I like to use labels in a very careful intentional way so that we don’t go down the rabbit hole of dieting, good foods/bad foo...

Undoing Carb Phobia: You CAN Eat Carbs!

As a registered dietitian, I get asked about carbs way more regularly than you can imagine.  They are definitely the most maligned macronutrient of the most recent years. In fact, there are entire communities on social media that insist that not only are humans not meant to eat carbohydrates, but every day you continue to include them in your diet is a day you are killing yourself and dragging your body closer and closer to diabetes, obesity and heart disease. You can probably guess a dieti...

Obsessing About What To Eat? Four SIMPLE Steps to Eliminate Food Rules

I was at a function recently and talking to a woman I know and her son who is in his late 20’s.  There was a buffet of beautiful food salads, hot foods, etc.  I wrapped up our conversation and said I was going to get a cookie.  And both of them looked at me aghast, as if they couldn’t believe I would eat a cookie.  And I realized they thought because I’m a dietitian I would have really strict eating habits and follow rules about what I can and can’t eat.  Most likely, because they have stric...

NEED to Burn Calories? Instead Embrace Exercise for Pleasure & Benefits

Reinvention Formula: Reinvent Your Relationship with Food

I’ve had a lot of life transitions lately.  My youngest child started high school, my middle child is abroad on a gap year program.  And I’ll be transitioning into a new part-time dream work role in a few weeks.  All of this has left me tearful, partially because I miss my two older kids now that they’re out of the house, but it’s gotten me thinking about how my role as a woman and mother is changing.  And really, we’re always evolving, changing, and reinventing ourselves.  It can feel helpl...

The Path to Food Freedom. It's EASIER Thank You Think

I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and she was asking me all sorts of questions about the phrase Food Freedom that I use frequently.  She said she thinks she understands what it means, but she can’t even fathom how she could ever get to that point of feeling food freedom.  And because it felt like such an unrealistic possibility for her, she couldn’t imagine her life with it and the impact it could have on her life.   So that’s what we will discuss today. 👉 Join Anti Diet Revo...
