Unsolicited food and body comments (think “should you really be eating that?” or “have you lost weight?”) unfortunately come up a lot at holiday gatherings. Here are a few ideas for how to respond, set boundaries, or simply change the subject. Prepping a few scripts for these scenarios helps with modeling a weight-inclusive, non-diet culture for yourself and everyone around you (kids included!).

As a dietitian and mom, this is my go-to protein smoothie for busy mornings (like right before the holidays!). It’s quick, nourishing, and totally satisfying, with no need for protein powder.

Frozen strawberries and bananas, Greek yogurt, milk (dairy or soy), and optional h**p seeds make a creamy, high-protein smoothie that’ll keep you energized through busy mornings, holiday prep, or a quick pick-me-up anytime. Kids love this one too!

If you have ever struggled with trying to do intuitive eating “right,” I hope these tips will give you some clarity.

As a dietitian and intuitive eating counselor, I’ve seen just how misunderstood intuitive eating can be, especially online, where quick soundbites often leave out the nuance.

Here’s what intuitive eating isn’t:
- A hunger/fullness “diet”
- A sneaky weight loss plan
- Anti-health or anti-nutrition
- “Eat whatever, whenever” chaos
- A one-size-fits-all approach

It’s really more about reconnecting with your body and nourishing yourself in a way that fits your life and your experiences, not following another list of someone else’s rules.

If you’ve been curious about intuitive eating but unsure if it can work for you, you can always learn more on my blog or reach out if you’d like 1:1 support. 🧡
