Did you know that eating disorders and hoarding disorders can be correlated? Hoarding behaviors include having difficulty parting with items or throwing items away and holding onto too many items. Hoarding disorder has also been associated with significant impairment to an individuals’ physical and mental health. In the general population, the prevalence of hoarding disorders is approximately 1 in 50 adults. A recent study has found that almost 1 in 4 adults with an eating disorder also had significant hoarding behaviors. The study also found that these behaviors were more common specifically in individuals with binge-eating disorder. Addressing both hoarding disorders and eating disorders during treatment can improve overall recovery and mental health outcomes. If you experience an eating disorder or disordered eating, consider consulting a registered dietitian who specializes in eating disorders at nutrifitga.com.

What do you prefer....peanut butter or avocado toast? Toast or bagels are a great option for breakfast that can be built upon with nutrient dense toppings to make a balanced meal! You can also choose a higher fiber bread if you are looking to increase your fiber at breakfast time! Two popular topping choices are avocado and peanut butter! These both offer extra fiber and add healthy fats, as well as protein, to your breakfast. Peanut butter and avocados are both rich in unsaturated, “heart healthy” fats. Avocados are high in monounsaturated fats, as compared to peanut butter which contains a mix of mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Avocados do not have added salt so these have a slight advantage for heart health. If you are looking at the protein content, peanut butter is going to offer more protein. A whole-wheat bread compared to a white bread will also offer more protein. That being said, neither peanut butter nor avocados are a high protein breakfast option. You can boost the protein content by adding chia or h**p seeds, pairing your grain of choice with yogurt or milk, or add some eggs or tofu scramble. If you are looking at fiber content, avocados offer more fiber. The type of bread is also a factor with fiber content. Looking at the big picture, both peanut butter and avocados are a great choice for toast, and there is room for both in your diet. Rotate between the two and make sure to add some pairings such as chia/h**p seeds, yogurt/milk, or eggs/tofu for added protein. Between the protein, fiber, and fats, this is a breakfast that is sure to keep you fuller longer and stabilize your blood sugar as well.

Did you know eating breakfast can lead to greater longevity of your lifespan? A simple yet effective tip is to eat breakfast daily, within an hour of waking up if possible! This gets your metabolism going for the day, as well as supplies essential glucose to your brain for all of your daily functioning. If you tend to skip breakfast, this can make it much harder to get all of your needed daily nutrients in. A balanced nutritious breakfast can also help curb cravings. Here are some of the foods that are staple in Centenarians’ diets: oatmeal, tofu scramble, loaded toast, chia pudding, huevos rancheros, yogurt with granola and fruit, miso soup and vegetables, and a breakfast bowl. These meals offer quality nutrients, including protein, fiber, whole grains, healthy fats, and many micronutrients. You may even notice the oatmeal is built on with protein from the egg and some vegetables with the spinach! Grains are the star of many of these meals, showcasing the importance and need for grains! This is also a great reminder if you are reading about the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans or the new upside-down food pyramid that illustrate minimal inclusion of grains.

Is your child an avid TikTok user? TikTok can have a strong influence on the diets of young TikTok users.

Did you know GLP-1s can be harmful in individuals with disordered eating? GLP-1s as a weight loss drug is known for curbing appetite. This can exacerbate vulnerabilities in individuals with disordered eating or eating disorders. GLP-1s are also currently widely accessible, easy to obtain, and commonly misused. These drugs can be mishandled and used to further promote food restriction behaviors and binge eating behaviors. GLP-1 misuse can also lead to individuals being diagnosed with anorexia if they are not monitored by a healthcare professional due to rapid and/or excessive weight loss. These individuals may also have the fear of gaining the weight back, especially those with body dysmorphia. GLP-1s interfere with natural hunger cues and proper nourishment for the body. Therefore, it is important to work with a team of healthcare professionals to determine the right course for you and your health.

What health trends should follow and which should you leave on the shelf?
Trend 1: A return to full-fat dairy can raise our good cholesterol, but may also raise our bad cholesterol. Take home message: moderation and variety with your dairy.
Trend 2: Scientifically tracking your blood sugar, even if you don't have diabetes.May help you be more aware of your blood sugar fluctuations to adjust your diet but there are lots of variations between products. Take home message: Helps with awareness, may or may not help lower blood sugar or weight.
Trend 3: Drinking a bright blue dye. Claimed to have anti-inflammatory benefit with no proof in human studies but lots of risks: including serotonin toxicity – a drug reaction that can cause elevated blood pressure, diarrhea, seizures, and even death. Take home message: Best beware!
Trend 4: More protein in everything … even your Oreos! You will not have to look far to find a “high protein” food product. Technically anything above 20% of the daily value on the nutrition facts label is truly categorized as high protein, according to the FDA. Take home message: labeling claims vary widely, best to choose high quality protein foods from dairy and meats to make sure your meet your needs.
Trend4 : Creatine supplements are everything!
Creatine is a simple breakdown compound coming from amino acids from meats proven to help with lean muscle gains. Take home message: taking alone will not cause muscle gain, you have to be strength training. Also high doses requires a much higher fluid intake or your kidneys will be overstressed. Consider consulting a registered dietitian and certified specialist in sport dietetics to help you wade through cultural trends to pick what is safe to follow by contacting us at nutrifitga.com and read more here

Do you wonder if you should be using beef tallow for cooking? You may have seen in the new edition of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans that it is suggested to use beef tallow for cooking. Beef tallow contains small amounts of fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin A, D, E, and K, offering health benefits such as immune, brain, bone, and cardiovascular health. The content of these vitamins differs from animal to animal that the beef tallow is from. Beef tallow also contains some monounsaturated fats which help support heart health, improve insulin sensitivity, and provide satiety. However, while beef tallow does bring some healthful components and benefits to the table, there are also some downsides to this product. Beef tallow is extremely high in saturated fat. Excessive intake of saturated fats can negatively impact cardiovascular health and raise LDL (“bad”) cholesterol which can overtime increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. Therefore, while beef tallow may provide some health benefits, it is important to be mindful of the disadvantages as well. Overall, if you are looking for a source of monounsaturated fats and some fat-soluble vitamins, choices such as olive oil or avocado oil can be a better daily choice for cooking.

Are you a visual learner? If so, the new upside-down food pyramid can be quite misleading. By appearance, there is a heavy emphasis on protein, dairy, and fats, as well as vegetables. The visual also draws the importance away from carbohydrate sources including whole grains and fruit. Therefore, if you are a visual learner, this visual may lead you to disproportionately assemble your plates. Your plates would likely be high in saturated fats and protein and rely more on vegetables. What this really means is, a plate assembled based on the visual proportions of the upside-down food pyramid would lack adequate calories for proper fueling for your body’s normal functions. Even further, if you are an active individual or athlete, this is dramatically less energy than is required for optimal performance. You would also miss out on important dietary fiber. The key to healthful eating habits is to assemble a balanced plate! To learn what plate proportions are right for you and your activity level, consider consulting a registered dietitian and certified specialist in sports dietetics at nutrifitga.com.
