Dieticians/Nutritionists can only guide, educate, motivate and warn you, the principal decision to change your eating habits lies with you.

| WE WILL ALL DIE ONE DAY |

One of the statements or comment I normally hear when I do public speaking, and it is true we will all die.

But one thing I normally say is Living with lifestyle diseases or non communicable diseases is painful, you lose your freedom either diet wise or leisure wise.

For example, Kidney failure normally forces and individual to go for Hemo-Dialysis three times a week, 4 hours per session, which sometimes means you have 12 hours per week that just goes to waste because of a disease. But one thing for sure this condition can be prevented by adopting healthy habits.

Diabetes also can be a stressing, having to live on medication for the rest of your life, diet restrictions, in some countries Healthcare is expensive meaning if you can’t afford then you’ll suffer before you ultimately die.

We will all die, but some suffer financially, mentally, physically, socially and emotionally for a very long time before they die because of non communicable diseases

| CHEAT DAY OR TREAT DAYS |

The phrase “Cheat Day” is normally use to refer to days when people just indulge on anything or foods that are not part of their meal plans or food items they are trying to avoid.

I personally don’t like the phrase because to some it brings guilt, and most clients struggle to open up about such days during consultations because the phrase “Cheat Day” on its own does not bring freedom or comfort. Even when you do it you feel bad.

I would rather call it a “Treat Day”. You know, changing a diet or getting into a fixed diet is very hard to adapt more especially if there are certain food items you have to avoid, some of which are your favourites. So its very much possible that you’ll miss certain food and its not wrong to eat that kind of food once a week or fortnightly.

When you call it a Treat Day its something you look forward to without guilt, even during consultations you easily open up about it because it feels right. Even when you draw up a Meal plan together with your Dietitian, you can include these “Treat” days.

Diet Change should not feel like a burden, Treat yourself to that chocolate, ice-cream, cake , etc.

| VARIETY OF FOOD =VARIETY OF NUTRIENTS |

Eating different kinds of food exposes to different kinds of nutrients.

In as much as we normally sum up Vegetables and Fruits to be rich in vitamins and minerals minerals , there are specific food types for specific nutrients for example Guava is rich in Vitamin C or Carrot rich in Vitamin A.

The same goes to Starchy foods which are summed up to be rich in Carbohydrates, when you dissect it you realise there are Refined Carbs and Unrefined carbs and in each there are specific food types.

This means if you stick to one type of starch or fruit or vegetables all the time, you are exposing your body to only one type of Nutrient.

Take advantage of seasonal fruits and vegetables, and also indigenous crops to expose yourself to variety.

| HEALTHY EATING IS EXPENSIVE |

I have had the conversation of Healthy Eating with a few people and most come with this myth of Healthy eating being expensive.

It is possible to eat healthy with a low socioeconomic status or on a low budget, the only problem that a poor socioeconomic status poses is lack of variety to choose from, but you can use your limited choice to eat healthy.

The most important thing in Healthy eating is Balance, knowing what food to pair with which food and their nutritional value as you dish in your plate.

Embrace your indigenous foods, do not associate them with poverty, they have a high nutritional value.

DIET VS BUDGET

If the diet you’ve just started is making you overspend, then you are on a wrong diet.

One of the aspects nutritionists and Dietitians look at when doing meal or diet plans is economic status, what can you afford or what you normally buy?

After ascertaining all that, we tailor make the diet plan to be within your budget and input what you normally buy.

If your diet plan is over your budget the probability is you will leave it on the way, because it is foreign to your budget.

| LOWERING SODIUM IN MY DIET |

• Buy fresh foods more often.

• Cook foods from scratch, instead of eating prepared foods,
“fast” foods, frozen dinners, and canned foods that are higher in sodium.

• Use spices, herbs, and sodium-free seasonings in place of salt. Check with your health care provider about using salt substitutes.

• Rinse canned vegetables, beans, meats, and fish with water to remove extra sodium.

• Check the label on fresh meats and poultry. Sodium additives can be used to make meat last longer.

• Look for foods labeled: sodium
free, salt free, very low sodium, low sodium, reduced or less sodium, light in sodium, no salt added, unsalted, and lightly salted.
