A lot of folks will tell you to always use a registered dietitian. Why might you not? Well, because licensing is difficult, expensive and time consuming, and that cost filters down to the customer. For those on a budget, nutritionist or nutrition program can be the better option.
Yesterday, we told you to keep up your healthy sleep. And that's all well and true, but we aren't ones to tell you never to drink coffee because of the caffeine. On the contrary, coffee can be good for you. Here are some of the many benefits of coffee: https://t.co/UdsHeAvxFu
Top tips and myth busting for exercising on a weight loss diet:
- DO eat carbs, or risk bad moods
- DO eat before a work-out, but leave a gap
- DO eat after a work-out, but keep it low calorie
- You CAN have a protein shake to repair, but it's not essential. Any protein will do!
How are you sleeping? You might know that sleep is bound with successful nutritional health. People who work night shifts often have the most trouble keeping healthy because their metabolism is set up wrongly. Improving sleep is the key to this. https://t.co/vRAwvAzEP6 #HealthNap

The weekend is drawing to a close, but don't feel bad. Every day is a step closer to spring, where moods improve and we don't seek comfort food, or avoid exercising in the great outdoors. Spring is a time when salads don't look sad! #SpringFood#Salad
Time to plan for the weekend! How about organising your kitchen tomorrow morning? It's not a thrill ride, but it can be the difference between diet success and failure - between grabbing a quick (unhealthy) snack and making a fabulous and nutritious meal.

The best meal planners tell you to eat snacks. Why is that? Itβs to keep meal portions small, without you getting hungry. Most of us overeat because we eat too much in one go. Eating little and often helps you top up the tank when youβre hungry, rather than eating for no reason.
Hereβs the hidden side of food: hydration. Itβs not uncommon for people to eat when they are actually thirsty. Before you gets to snacking, try drinking a nice, cool glass of water first. Something with no sugar in. Let it settle and see how you feel. #DietingTips#DietTips
Everyone likes to nickname weekdays nowadays, so why not us? We say this is Chewy Tuesday. What are your favourite chewy foods? Sushi? Mushrooms? Al dente spaghetti? What even counts? Texture is important for food. If you donβt have a favourite chewy food, we suggest you get one.
A well-balanced diet could improve your mood. People who eat more fruits and vegetables tend to report better mental health in studies.

We ran a grain experiment today. Which grains can you soak and eat raw? Spelt, pearl barley, tapioca and even lentils can be soaked instead of cooked. We donβt advocate full raw diets, but if you want to experiment with more raw / whole grain meals, do! #WholeGrains#RawGrains
