Once upon a time, people used to maintain a fairly healthy weight without having to weigh their food and track calories. But our world has become much more complex. Remember what your body was DESIGNED for. An active lifestyle—go outside daily, lift weights, work out the heart.

🥦🍓🍗🥚Eat more plants and protein foods—these both keep you full the longest, optimize your microbiome for a healthy weight, and happen to be lower calorie foods.

💦 make water your main beverage! If you are to the point where WATER, which makes up a significant portion of your body weight, doesn’t “appeal” to you—look at it like brushing your teeth. This is just something necessary for your health. Water is a life force.

In a world of mixed signals regarding the best move for dieting, taking these three easy focuses makes a HUGE difference. And it usually doesn’t break you mentally. I always recommend my clients start with these basic changes and move to more particular tracking for more specific goals.

We now have our first ever nutrition recommendation that is based on a health benefit rather than preventing deficiency!
Flavan-3-ols are one of the compounds found in green tea, berries, cocoa and wine that makes people tout these things as superfoods! Note—this recommendation is FOOD-BASED. It is not saying that you should necessarily start megadosing on green tea extract in pill form (has been shown to have adverse effects with 800+mg doses).
Idk about you but I just increased my daily cups of green tea to 2 💁🏼‍♀️ Green tea also has been shown to have impacts on focus that coffee does not! (I still drink coffee because por Que no los dos)

It’s pushing being too cold to eat outside but I will suffer a little chill any day before I eat lunch distracted at my desk!! If you can find the time in your day—I highly recommend at LEAST one meal a day is eaten un-distracted (no phone, no Netflix). We don’t realize how much we wolf down our food without savoring it and chewing properly, which leads to cravings later on and eating past the point of fullness. Remember—children stop eating halfway through a cookie because they are in-tune with this. We on the other hand have learned to ignore our hunger and fullness signals.
🧘‍♀️
Take a moment to be mindful!

SLEEP NOW 😴

I saw this article shared in anticipation of a lecture at that honestly encompasses something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. In my previous job our research was looking partially at sleep quality/quantity during pregnancy and infant/childhood obesity risk. I think sleep is hella slept on in the preventative health arena. Even now, working with pateints who struggle with obesity, most also struggle with getting quality sleep whether that is due to busy schedule, high caffeine intake thru soda or coffee, bad sleep hygiene or inactivity.
💯
More than 1/3 of Americans are getting insufficient sleep! And if you scroll through these slides, that puts you at risk for some nasty things.

Focusing on getting your 8 hours does a lot more than make you feel well rested! 💪🏻

Made a dietitian move and ordered a beetroot juice martini 🤣 💁🏼‍♀️ Beet juice is often thought of as a natural pump product! Beets contain nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide causes vasodilation (increased blood flow/decreased blood pressure)!
Nitrates are often talked about as being harmful in the context of animal product preservatives. This is because nitrates can convert to free radicals which can cause oxidative damage. BUT, when you get nitrates from vegetables (beetroot etc), you are also getting ANTIOXIDANTS which prevent this damage inherently. Isn’t it crazy how nature works?
