Food is not the enemy.

Food is the key…The key to having energy, keeping up with your active lifestyle, having fun, celebrating holidays, achieving your athletic goals, living until your 100+, having kids, being successful at work, etc.

Food is literally the key to YOUR life.

@allisonknottrd Dietitians can be both. In some cases, it’s our job to help our clients navigate their goals not change them.

If you’re a parent or want to be a parent one day, one of the most important things you can do for your child is to ensure you have a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and your body.

Meal prepping the same foods each week may feel safe, easy, and like a great idea for your health…

But, you know what it’s not?

✨Nutritious✨

FYI: The more you exercise, the more carbs your body needs.

[Lexi Moriarty MS RDN CSSD @BeBalancedRD]

FYI: You can…

Skip your workout today
Have multiple glasses of 🍷
Order a fried appetizer and the steak
Get your own dessert
Not get up super early tomorrow to fit a workout in

…and still be healthy.

[Lexi Moriarty MS RDN CSSD @BeBalancedRD]

If fit to you is...

➡ Your lowest weight
➡ A rigid workout routine to keep a six pack
➡ Constantly watching your carb intake
➡ Tracking calories or macros to be sure you don't go "over"

...then being "fit" may be costing you your health.

IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR RETIRED COLLEGE ATHLETES…

Your training routine as a collegiate athlete shoudn't be compared to your workout routine as a working adult.

[Lexi Moriarty MS RDN CSSD @BeBalancedRD]

The difference?

Even dedication includes room for…
✅ Flexibility
✅ Food Freedom
✅ Enjoyment

Dedicated vs Disordered ⤵️

Dedicated is preparing your meals in advance because you have the time and it makes you feel good.

Disordered is meal prepping the same exact foods every Sunday no matter what food you’re actually in the mood for.

[Lexi Moriarty MS RDN CSSD @BeBalancedRD]

Dedicated vs Disordered ⤵️

Dedicated is planning out healthy, balanced meals that make you feel good.

Disordered is not being able to eat anything but healthy, balanced meals without guilt or feeling like you have to burn it off.

Dedicated vs Disordered ⤵️

Dedicated is training for a race and pushing yourself to the next level.

Disordered is feeling guilty taking rest days during your training.

Not eating before your morning workout isn’t doing you any favors‼️

DYK: Dieting to lose weight in healthy weight individuals is actually predictive of future weight gain?

[Lexi Moriarty MS RDN CSSD @BeBalancedRD]
