For most people, weight/weight loss is NOT a good motivator for improving diet quality! What IS a good motivator for people to improve their diet, is focusing on other, sometimes subtle, positive changes! Don't get caught up with the number on the scale, instead, focus on the other benefits of eating a well-balanced and nutrient-dense diet!

One thing that I recommend to a lot of my clients is to get in touch with their hunger cues, and I think that often confuses people. We hear lots about babies having hunger cues, but what about us adults? For most of us, we do! However, somewhere along the way due to dieting, food environments growing up, or poor mental and physical health, we have lost our way. I do recommend that we slow down and take a moment midmorning, midafternoon, and in the evening as to how we are feeling.

Let’s break the cycle of setting ourselves up for failure after New Years. Alot of us fall in to this “new year, new me” trap and we set very high expectations for what we are going to accomplish in the next 12 months. The first few weeks/months we might be able to honour those expectations, but then life gets busy or we just don’t enjoy the plan that we set up, so we stop honouring those commitments. Then, you feel guilty about not meeting those commitments and expectations. For a lot of us, these goals are food/ fitness related.

If you ARE wanting to wanting to give more focus on improving your nutritional health at this time of the year, work with a Registered Dietitian (RD). Instead of teaching you a bunch of food rules used in many fad diets (keto, IF, paleo etc), most RDs will teach you things like building a satisfying and well rounded meal, hunger and satiety cues, IBS/GERD triggers and more. We won’t force you to eat foods you don’t like either 👎

For me, I have one habit that I want to form in the new year. My body often feels stiff from sitting lots through out the day at work, and I know that it feels better when I stretch. I found a yoga routine that I really like, which takes 7 minutes to complete. My goal is to try to stretch atleast 5 times per week to keep my body feeling good. I’m striving for consistency, but not perfection.

With that being said, know that if you are struggling at this time of year, whether it be financially, emotionally or to balance all of the commitments of life, YOU DON’T TO SET GOALS RIGHT NOW EITHER. It’s okay just to keep your head above water without adding more onto your plate.

I hope that you’ve found atleast a few moments of happiness during this holiday season. Looking forward to connecting with you in the new year ✨

With the price of food, we know that we SHOULD be cooking at home, but life gets busy and sometimes we come to mealtimes unprepared. This results in wasted time, energy and money, as well as, picking foods that might not be the best fuel for ourselves and our families. That is why SWSerenity Wellness Inc, Amy Williams and I are hosting a GIVEAWAY! I offer meal planning services at SWSerenity Wellness Inc, where you meet with me, a Registered Dietitian (covered by many private health insurance plans). We discuss your schedule, goals, family size, allergies/ intolerances, preferences, kitchen set up, and cooking skills, and then we plan out your meals on a calendar. I follow up your session with all the recipes we discussed and a grocery list.

A new service at SWSerenity Wellness Inc is that you can have Amy come prep the meals for you! You’ll just have to assemble and bake when you get home. The winner of the contest will win a 60-minute meal planning consultation with Hannah Creaser RD and a two hour in-home meal prep with Amy Williams .

To be entered into the giveaway you must:
• Follow Hannah Creaser RD and SWSerenity Wellness Inc on Facebook
• Like this post
• Tag a friend in the comments

Contest will run until September 18, 2022 at 1 pm. Participants must be located within 15 km of Fredericton, New Brunswick.

As we make our way through this beautiful Labour Day weekend and the end of summer, you might be starting to think about what the end of summer into fall looks like for you. For most of us, our long weekends and holiday travels come to an end, and if you have kids, they go back to school this coming week. Summer vacation ends, and life starts to ramp up again for many of us during this time of year.

One of the BEST things that you can do for yourself is set yourself up for successful BEFORE the craziness of life sets in. BUILD THESE HABITS INTO YOUR ROUTINE. Plan out your meals on the weekend or your off day, so you can grocery shop and know what’s for dinner. Make or prep your breakfast ahead of time by making baked oatmeal, mixing overnight oats or prepare smoothie bags that just need milk added, to be blended and ready to go. Set out your medications and vitamins, either the night before or in a pill pack so you can take them quickly with a glass of water. Lastly, if you know that you are tight on time, pick up a rotisserie chicken and a bag salad for the family for dinner- it’s cheaper and healthier then take-out for the family.

Taking active steps in advance make you THAT MUCH MORE LIKELY to follow through on your intentions to eat healthy. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be time consuming or stressful, it just needs a little thought ahead of time to get you there. These are all things that you can do in 30 minutes or less.
Happy Labour Day weekend everybody!

We all need an easy go to supper meal and here’s mine. Tonight’s SUPER quick meal! Honey sesame salmon with new potatoes and green beans for the garden. I’m pretty sure I adapted this recipe from one I saw on TikTok a while ago, but I no longer have the original post.

For the salmon, unthaw your salmon fillets. The sauce is:
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp sesame oil
A pinch of salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Bake or air fry at 375F for 8-10 minutes.

This is a great supper for busy weeknight as it takes less than 20 minutes to put it on the table.

What’s your favourite go-to week night meal?

There are A LOT of reasons why people should come see a Registered Dietitian (other than we a generally SUPER nice, supportive, and helpful people).
1) If you have been diagnosed with diabetes or heart disease. We can teach you which foods to eat to better control your blood sugars, lower total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and raise your HDL-cholesterol.
2) You have lost your creative spark in the kitchen. I get it. Life gets busy and you need someone to recommend some new, quick to make but budget friendly meals.
3) Weight that is fluctuating up and or down, weight that keeps trending upward or weight trending downward without you trying, can all be equally stressful but caused by different things. Let us help get things stabilized and make a plan moving forward.
4) Meal planning is a learned skill, and the ability to plan out meals, make a grocery list and food preparation, are all apart of an umbrella term called food literacy skills. While it’s nice to figure dinner on the fly sometimes, other times it can add a lot of stress and costs to our bill.
5) If you are having are having digestive issues, upset stomach or acid reflux there are some changes to you diet or routine that we can suggest to help relieve discomfort.

Now these are just some of the FEW things that Registered Dietitian’s can help with on your journey to improve your health. If you feel comfortable sharing, let me know what you saw a Dietitian for in the past and how did they help you?

Enjoy your lunch out with friends, date nights out with your significant other, and ice cream with your kids. You should enjoy your food, guilt free. Get outside of your “food comfort zone”. Cook a new recipe, visit a new to you restaurant, and try a dish you’ve never had before. You never know, you might surprise yourself ❤️ food is so much more than just fuel.

Happy weekend my friends 😊

If you find yourself in this mindset of trying to eat as little as possible during meals, know that you are not alone. Many of us fall into this type of mindset surrounding food, and when our goal during meals is to eat as few calories as possible, it tends to lead us to eating unsatisfying meals, harming our relationship with food, interfering with digestion, and makes us more likely to overeat later in the day. Instead, I find it a lot more helpful to focus on adding more nutrient dense foods to meals to give us ENERGY and NUTRIENTS. Add more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean protein sources into your diet. This it’s a lot easier and funnier to focus on what you can add into your diet versus what you can take out.
