Very great article. Water intake is important any time of the year, even when it is cold out! You're still losing water even if you aren't visibly sweating. ❄️🚰

Are you the type of person that dramatically reduces water consumption once the temps drop?

H20 intake is equally important when it’s cold outside.

@dylanle7830 @beh353 Hi Dylan, I totally agree, it is so important to educate patients on fad diets/unhealthy dieting. Avoiding popular press article is also a major issue to address. #beh353 @beh353

These tips are great & practical. Small changes like switching to plain dairy and checking labels can really add up. Great advice for someone trying to reduce added sugar in their diet! #beh353 @beh353

4 Ways to Reduce Added Sugars in Your Diet:
💧 Drink Smart: Keep your choices refreshing and healthy by opting for water, smaller portions, or no-calorie options!

🍏 Choose Fruit: Don’t skip out on whole fruits! They’re packed with essential nutrients like fiber and potassium. Aim for a colorful variety, and choose unsweetened options when selecting canned, dried, or frozen fruit. 🍓🍌

🥛 Aim For Plain Dairy: Dairy is a great source of protein and calcium, but it can also have added sugars. Go for plain milk and yogurt to keep your intake in check!

📊 Be Label Savvy: When shopping, take a moment to read Nutrition Facts labels. Use the “Total Sugars” line to determine the full amount of sugars in a labeled serving. This amount represents both naturally occurring and added sugars, added together.

@jazlynn_pang @beh353 Understanding the emotional struggles and challenges people face with obesity is so important. Creating safe, non-judgmental spaces for everyone is a step toward real change. Empathy goes a long way!! #beh353 @beh353

[Lillee @lilleest24]

Weight isn’t always a reflection of health or lifestyle. Factors like metabolic rate, genetics, and medical conditions all play a role. It's important to not make assumptions based on someone's weight. #beh353 @beh353

[Lillee @lilleest24]

So true! Fruits and veggies are awesome for both health and performance. A RD can really help you find simple ways to add more of them into your meals. #beh353 @beh353

[Nancy Clark MS RD @nclarkrd]

Veggies & fruits are not only excellent sources vitamins and minerals but also health-enhancing phytochemicals. A Registered Dietitian #RD can help you figure out how to easily add more to your sports diet.

@leannmcpnutri @beh353 I was also surprised by that fact! Especially since school lunches have become healthier in recent years. #beh353 @beh353

Defects in the leptin gene are linked directly to obesity. It is important to stay mindful & empathetic when discussing weight & obesity. Not everything is within our control! #beh353 @beh353

[Lillee @lilleest24]

As a college student, healthy eating can be difficult due to lack of time & resources to prepare meals. I am guilty of eating meals of convenience rather than nutritional value. A go to for me is Trader Joe’s pasta. #beh353 @beh353

[Lillee @lilleest24]

The keto diet is a great example of a fad diet. When trying to lose weight, it is important to research the potential negative effects. Fad diets are not sustainable long-term! #beh353 @beh353

[Tamar Haspel @TamarHaspel]

"In the absence of weight loss, a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet has no beneficial effect on glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, or other metabolic parameters."

If keto works for you, have at it! But there's no metabolic magic.

@IRindone11 @beh353 This is so relatable. I go for the quick easy to prepare meal instead of the nutritious one. Guilty of eating that panera mac & cheese for dinner weekly! #beh353 @beh353

[Lillee @lilleest24]

@ashleycc406 @beh353 So true! I also love the dragonfruit flavor, they are the best.
