Chickpea salad 🥗 I made this for a Nutrition on a Budget workshop with cegep students a few weeks ago, and now I can’t stop making it. It’s so easy, so fibre-rich, balanced and delicious. The recipe initially called for cilantro but we’ll ignore that 🧼
Inspired by Natasha’s Kitchen!

Intermittent fasting (IF) has grown in popularity, often praised for its potential weight loss benefits and claims of improved health. It’s understandable why many people are drawn to it—living in a society that equates thinness with health can make methods like intermittent fasting seem appeali...

The scale has so much power over so many of us. It can make a good day turn into a day focused on what we feel we did wrong to get to the weight that we’re at, what we should be doing differently, how we should be eating differently. The scale typically does not have the power to cause lasting changes. Feeling GOOD based on the changes you’ve made is what will - and you don’t need the scale to tell you that.
I recently wrote a blog post about how often you should weigh yourself - check out my bio to read it 🕊️

As a Dietitian, I often get asked how often one should weigh themselves. The answer isn't as straightforward as you might think. In my latest blog post, I discuss why relying heavily on the scale can be detrimental to both your mental and physical health - and what other progress indicators you can put your focus on instead.

I’m a Registered Dietitian, and I get this question often from people who would like to lose weight – which is such a fair goal in this weight and food-focused world. Before answering the question, I’d encourage you to reflect on how using the scale might affect you. Ask yourself the following...

** We started a podcast ! **

In episode 1 of Wellness Debunked, Gabe Marcogliese (Kinesiologist and Personal Trainer) and I discuss all things diets - if you’ve been stuck in the dieting cycle (which typically looks like restricting your food intake, giving up or “messing up” then restarting the same or a new diet), this episode gives great insight to why that might be and what some alternatives could be to lead a healthier and happier life.
