Although excessive added sugar and carbs will contribute to high blood glucose, avoiding all carbs entirely is not a solution. Choose whole-grain, fiber-rich carbs and follow healthy lifestyle patterns.

If you have type 2 diabetes you’re eating the wrong food. That simple. It’s not a drug deficiency.

Fix your diet and you will come off medications. Eventually you won’t have diabetes.

Think of it as a severe allergy to sugar and starches. Avoid them and you will reverse it.

[Abigail Morrissey @NutritionAbi]

This is so important! If you are consistently thinking about food, you are probably not eating enough. I see this a lot in my athletic friends especially.

Can we really call it a healthy lifestyle if we are restricting our food intake to the point of constantly thinking of food and then thinking we are wrong for being “obsessed” with food?

[Abigail Morrissey @NutritionAbi]

Grocery shopping is an important skill for following a balanced diet. I love how this article breaks down each food group and provides tips for navigating food shopping.

In order to promote positive body image, we need to change the language we use to describe our bodies. Brainstorming and reciting positive body affirmations and repeating this process can improve how you feel about and see your body. Remember, what you practice grows stronger!

You are not an endless well of energy. And putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. #RDChat #Dietitian #RD2BE

I disagree with the argument that carbs are non-essential. The article below explains how carbs are the main energy source for the brain. Although fat and protein can catabolize into glucose for energy, I don't think that makes carbs non-essential.

Why is it that the only non-essential macronutrient is the one we are told to base our diets around? 🧐

Interesting to read how school lunch has changed since I left high school and how it differs around the country.

Just finished an exciting presentation with a professional club at RIT about nutrition basics and sports nutrition. It was interesting to hear about the members' struggles with eating well in college.

Often, ads we see on TV influence our food choices. This is especially of concern in children who spend a lot of time watching TV. Pay attention to the information children receive from the TV!
