Hello, Assalamo Alaikum, Hi,
⁠
A lot of new faces here, so allow me to (re)introduce myself!⁠
⁠
My name is Lubna. I am a Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist. My mission is to help brave women transform their health without sacrificing their cultural foods.⁠ Here are a few things you might not know about me. 👩🏻‍🎓I went to grad school when my youngest of four started kindergarten. 👩🏼‍✈️My childhood dream was to fly planes.
🌍I have traveled in 4 continents of the world. ☕️Caffeine and I are not the very best of friends. I have nine years of experience as an RD and am one of the very few Desi RDs. TBH, more than 85% of the Dietitians are Caucasian and many do not have any expertise or training in treating South Asian women. ⁠
Mark my words," YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ELIMINATE YOUR CULTURAL FOODS TO BECOME HEALTHY". ⁠
Never let anyone tell you that 🥦broccoli is more healthful than saag. Nothing against broccoli. However, broccoli, kale, and quinoa can never replace the daal, 🍚chawal, saag, or chaat. ⁠🥘
⁠So here I am, loaded with the knowledge and tastes of our Desi foods, practicing the vibrant culture that represents us, ready to help you in your nutrition and health journey! ⁠

Do you know that daal or lentil can help lower the glucose spikes?

Daals are high in fiber and proteins, both help reduce the glucose spikes after meals. In addition they add to a feeling of fullness.

Before cooking, make sure to soak them in cold water for a few hours. This can help prevent bloating and gas.

When cooking daal, add more vegetables in there to make it more nutritious.

If you ask me this question, I would say neither!
Both Roti and Rice are carbs that provide us energy needed by our body so we do the things that we need to do. They both are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals.
In fact, both rice and roti can help us manage weight but it all depends on the type, the portion sizes and the frequency in our diet.

آپکو پتہ ہے کہ کچھ غذائیں وزن کم کرنے میں مفید ہو سکتی ہیں۔
روٹی اور چاول دونوں ہی صحت کے لئے فائدہ مند ہیں اگر ہم انکی صحیح قسم، تعداد اور کثرت استعمال پر توجہ دیں تب۔ مزید معلومات کے لئے میسج کریں-

Do you know that you can keep your hormones in balance⚖️ with foods?
Here are some foods that can help balance your hormones.
Soy- The estrogen levels can go low for post-menopausal women. Soy may act like estrogen. Plan to include soybeans, tofu, edamame and tempeh to balance low estrogen levels.
Leafy greens 🥬:Fiber in leafy greens help lower estrogen for women with estrogen dominance. In addition, your saag🥦🥬 can also help lower the cortisol level to reduce stress😵‍💫.
Whole grains🌾: To alleviate PMS symptoms, aim for magnesium and phosphorus containing whole grains. Whole grains such as quinoa, barley, whole wheat atta also stabilize the blood sugars.
Daals and Beans🫘: Fiber in daals and beans helps reduce cortisol and also stabilizes blood🩸 sugars.
Vitamin D- Foods naturally providing Vitamin D are a good source of proteins as well. Eggs 🥚and Salmon 🍣 help stabilize Ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Vitamin D also improves female testosterone levels preventing fatigue, depression and hair loss.

Plan to avoid ultra processed foods from your regular diet. Aim to have a combination of foods from 5 food groups to ensure that your hormones stay happy and healthy.

DM me if you are struggling to balance your hormones and you need help.

Do you know that people with lactose intolerance may be able to tolerate some dairy?
Our bodies are different and we tolerate nutrients differently. Some people with Lactose intolerance may not be able to tolerate any dairy 🥛 foods while others may be able to tolerate some. It all depends on the lactose content in the food and the body’s ability to break it down with enzymes.
Foods with high fat such as butter, cream, lassi, yogurt, ice cream🍦, cream cheese or hard cheeses 🧀 have low lactose content. While some people may be able to tolerate small amount of these foods, others may not. So it is important to figure out the degree of your intolerance. Try eating very small amount and see if you experience any symptoms. Nowadays you can find enzyme pills💊 that you can take right before you enjoy your favorite ice cream 🍨 or other dairy based desserts🧁. It is not a good idea to eliminate all dairy foods if you do not have a diagnosed lactose intolerance or milk allergy.
People with diagnosed milk allergy must avoid all dairy foods.
If you struggle with managing your food intolerance or food allergies or you want to introduce dairy back into your life, DM me.

Do you hear yourself saying, “بھوک سے جان نکل رہی ہے” ( I’m dying from hunger) or “ اتنا زیادہ کھا لیا ہے کہ پیٹ پھٹنے والا ہو گیا ہے” ( I’m so full! My stomach will explode). Chances are you may not be listening to your hunger and fullness cues? Many people may experience only the feeling of extreme hunger🤯 or extreme fullness🤢.
Hunger and fullness scale is a tool to help you listen to your hunger and fullness cues.
Ignoring your hunger can cause increased cravings which may lead to overeating. In addition, being on the lower number at the hunger scale may make you eat until you are uncomfortably full which can also cause bloating and indigestion.
Plan to use this scale as a guide to see where you end up on the scale and how to move to numbers between 3 and 4, and 6 and 7.
Let’s look at the scale:
1- Feeling very week, nauseous, dizzy, no energy
2- Extremely hungry, headaches, moody, irritable
3- Very hungry, growling stomach, low energy
4-Hungry, ready to eat,
5-Neither hungry nor full
6-Mild fullness
7-Full but not uncomfortable
8-slightly uncomfortable
9-Stuffed, very uncomfortable, abdominal distention
10-Extremely stuffed, nauseous, may feel sick

Use this scale as a guide at your next meal.
