2. You’re counting calories/macros/points still in your head. It takes time to stop, but if you’re constantly calculating/tracking something you’ll be preoccupied with numbers.

3. You’re not eating enough. Not eating enough >> feeling out of control around food 10/10 times. Practice getting in touch with your hunger cues.

4. You’re over hungry. Getting over-hungry is a surefire way to feel ravenous. Eat ahead of extreme hunger.

5. You’re not satisfied from the foods you’re choosing to eat. Eating what you think you “should” will lead you to ruminate about food all day. Eat what you’re actually in the mood for to stop thinking about food so much.

Every time you catch yourself speaking negatively to yourself, pause 🛑 & ask yourself “Is this how I would speak to a friend?” If the answer’s no, reframe your self-talk to be at least neutral towards yourself!

If you’re already calculating all the ways you can “make up” for what you ate this weekend, consider this permission to stop. You don’t have to make up for anything!

What are you NOT eating because someone along the way told you not to? Despite what some influencers tell you, if you're skipping salmon because you can't afford wild, it's time to re-examine farmed fishing practices because it IS a great option >>>

Farmed salmon can be raised under EXCELLENT conditions + be MORE sustainable for the environment. Farmed salmon is low in mercury and packed with omega-3s.

So ditch the guilt and seek out responsibly raised farmed salmon from reputable sources because it's... - More affordable - Nutritious - Delicious - Reliable year-round - Consistent

Wondering what store-bought soup to buy?? I weighed in... Thanks for asking Julie Kendrick🍥! huffpost.com/entry/healthy-…

Be popcorn 🍿… it expands and isn’t afraid to take up space. Don’t be spinach 🌱… it starts so full of life and is constantly told to shrink itself.

10 things I hope you learned about nutrition in 2022... 1. Eating processed & packaged foods won’t make or break your health. They can HEP you make nourishing, satisfying meals bc convenience is an important part of implementing realistic nutrition strategies into your life.

2. Stop worrying about what other people are eating and focus on what YOUR body needs. Eyes on your own plate! 3. You can’t stop b!nging/overeating snacks at night unless you’re nourishing your body enough during the day. Seriously - 3 meals + snacks, please!

4. WHY you choose to eat something matters more to me, as a registered dietitian, than WHAT you’re eating. What are your intentions? A healthy diet is only healthy if your mindset around food + your relationship with food is healthy.

5. Actively keeping your favorite foods OUT of your house is doing more harm than good. Willpower doesn’t last forever and it WILL backfire. 6. Intermittent fasting isn’t advantageous for most women. Ignore the clock, try eating by your hunger cues.

7. Carbs are your friend. Your body loves them, and you probably do too, so add them to your plate. Multiple times a day. Even the starchy ones. 8. Pizza can be a weekly staple in your diet. As can ANY + ALL of your favorite foods.

9. 1200 calories is what my 3 year old eats. You likely need more energy, especially if you’re feeling extra snacky later in the day. 10. Eating “all foods” doesn’t mean eating all foods all day everyday. You get to choose when you eat what you want.

When you catch yourself speaking negatively to yourself, pause & ask yourself.. “What would I tell my kid if I heard them speaking this way to themselves?" Then tell yourself that. Reframe your self-talk to be neutral about yourself. Your kids *are* listening!!
