日本开始把核废水排入海水，很有可能造成海产和海盐的核污染。韩国消费者都在抢盐，美国也有不少超市盐断货了。那么美国消费者需要屯盐吗？ #日本核废水 #盐 #我的健康生活 #华人在美国 #美国华人生活 #营养师怎么吃

I am working on remaking the diabetic cooking videos I filmed for Tufts Medical Center in 2015. They have been lying in my hard drive for all these years and actually are excellent resources for patients with DM or anyone who want to cook healthy in general. I will continue working on this series and update on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Hope you will enjoy them!

My mom used 12 types of ingredients to cook this dinner on a regular week day, not even counting all the condiments. A traditional home made Chinese meal is full of fresh vegetables, legumes, lean proteins and full of flavors. Food and cuisine is such an important part of our rich culture. I'm proud to be Asian, and I'm prouder to be an Asian dietitian.

Weight control has been the #1 issue I worry about during my pregnancy. Being petite and wanting a natural birth, I try so hard to control my weight gain within the recommended range so that my baby won't grow too big. But even as a dietitian myself, I struggled so much to control my weight! You can see from the graph that my weight trend has been always on the top of the recommended range.

My obstacle is the cravings for sugar. I have always been a dessert lover. During my 2nd trimester I try very hard to limit my sugar intake, but every 2-3 day I would have a mentally weak moment and binge a large portion of dessert. Then afterwards I feel so guilty and blue for a while.
***
After realizing it just doesn't work to over limit myself, in the past few weeks I start to allow myself small portions of sweet foods every day. In the same time I slows down my chewing so that every meal will last more than 20 minutes. Surprisingly I feel much fuller, more satisfied, and my weight gain also slows down. Also I feel less guilty and my craving is not as strong as before.

All the expecting mama, how do you control your weight gain? Any other tips or recommendations for me?

Happy 4th everyone! After the heavy BBQ last night, I'm having something light for breakfast.

This egg shrimp taco takes only 5 minutes - 1. saute the frozen shrimps in heated pan until they are pink. 2. add in lightly beaten egg and sliced leek. 3. saute until the eggs are cooked and put it on the taco shell. 🌮🌮
**
My husband added shredded cheese in the taco as well, which was delicious too. I think some ketchup might work as well 😊😊🍅

Burger for breakfast, anyone? 😊😊🍔 My husband worries if it's too heavy for me, especially when my heartburn is getting worse as the baby is growing bigger every day.
**
The answer is not at all! As I used whole grain bun, black bean veggie burger patty, low fat cheese and fresh sliced tomato to make this yummy thing. Depends on my mood, sometimes I throw in a couple pieces of pickles and a little bit of mustard. My breakfast is overall low fat, high protein and high calcium even with a burger 😊👍🍅🥛

Urban farming is so much fun!! Here comes the 2nd week of our CSA share, and baby bok choy + strawberry I grow in my back yard. It does feel like in real life lol! 🌷🌻🥬🍓

Do you know most produce loses 30% of nutrients 3 days after harvest? Vegetables could lose 15% to 55% of vitamin C within a week. Buy from farmers market or grow your own produces means there is no time wasted in the supply chain and the store, so that you can absorb as much nutrients as possible from your vegetables and fruits. 🥗🥦🌶🥕🍄🍉🍇
