@KCKlatt Dietary guidelines are under USDA, not FDA. how would the FDA commissioner have the authority to do this? (Also totally backwards to the usual process for dietary guidelines of assessing data and research and then coming to conclusions, but 🤷‍♀️)

@dr_ericberg I’m sorry, but exactly what kind of doctor are you who doesn’t know that insulin dependent diabetics can experience dangerously low blood sugar that needs to be quickly corrected with simple carbohydrates?

[Kayla Womeldorff RD @KaylaWomeldorff]

@panerabread needs a new procedure for avocado. Literally EVERY time I order a salad that is *supposed to* include it, it doesn’t. And this has happened at multiple locations.

@ChrisPalmerMD No, and I would imagine you already know that. I have found that encouraging abstinence from these foods usually backfires, and ends with (ironically) higher consumption and more distress for patients. I teach people balance and how to crowd out those foods with healthier ones.

@DrJenGunter @TrashFireT Ok, i actually suggest trying it! I was skeptical, and I wouldn’t call it the “creamiest ice cream ever”, but it was surprisingly good. It does freeze very solid though, so needs time to thaw or else microwave for 20 seconds to soften. Half baked harvest’s chocolate PB one is 👌🏼

@LoriGottlieb1 I agree with the other RDs that Diet Coke in reasonable amounts is just not something I’m concerned about. But if you want some other bubbly sources of caffeine, I’d suggest a caffeinated sparkling water, like Bubly Bounce.

Fascinating article that I’m 100% sure is about to make my job as an outpatient dietitian a lot harder 😬
My take: food choices don’t exist in a vacuum. We need more data on how ice cream affects the rest of people’s diets, I.e. less dinner to save room?

@alloveranthony Kayak. apparently NOT spelled k-i-a-k, as it turns out 🤷🏼‍♀️

@theamericanrd I mean, if you didn’t know this as an RD, imagine how many other people don’t know!

[Kayla Womeldorff RD @KaylaWomeldorff]

@theamericanrd Hmm, maybe canola oil? 😜🤷🏼‍♀️

@elonmusk’s mom @mayemusk is a dietitian. As a fellow RD, I’d be curious to know what she thinks of this.
My take: it’s skipping breakfast w/ a better PR strategy. Can be helpful for some if it prevents starting the day with a bfast that doesn’t set a healthy tone.

On advice of a good friend, I’ve been fasting periodically & feel healthier

@elonmusk’s mom @mayemusk is a dietitian. As a fellow RD, I wonder what she thinks of this 🤔
My take: It’s skipping breakfast with a better PR strategy. But it can be helpful for some, esp if their usual bfast didn’t set them up for a day of eating well.

At what point will we be humble enough to ask ourselves: why? Why isn’t what we thought was true in theory not working in real life? How many more parents will have to lose their precious babies before we acknowledge the truth- that more guns is not bearing out to more safety.

[Kayla Womeldorff RD @KaylaWomeldorff]

I grew up believing that the only thing that would deter a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun. (This is what happens when your grandfather is a lifetime member of the @NRA) But then 19 children were slaughtered in TEXAS, a place with plenty of good guys with guns.

@CakeNutrition Wow, I love this! Seems a like a great way for providers to still get the info they need while also being sensitive to patient concerns 👍🏼

[Kayla Womeldorff RD @KaylaWomeldorff]

@luvscoconut @StreetSmartRD Are you wondering where the other 6g carb are coming from? If so, it’s likely from starches that aren’t broken out on the label 🤓

[Kayla Womeldorff RD @KaylaWomeldorff]

@deardenrm @GlennonDoyle Of course!
