✨ 4 Things I Never Tell People as an RDN ✨

 ❌1. “Don’t eat fruit because of the sugar.”
✅Not true! Naturally occurring sugars in whole foods—like fruit—come packaged with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. 

❌2. “You should replace seed oils with beef tallow.”
✅Seed oils are not toxic—they are just often found in ultra-processed foods. However, beef tallow is saturated, which is far worse.”

❌3. “You always need to check the sugar on a nutrition label.”
✅Sugar is found in almost everything, and that doesn’t mean it is a problem. Instead, look at the added sugar content. 

❌4. “You should avoid all gluten products.”

✅You have no reason to avoid gluten unless you have celiac disease or a gluten intolerance.

Focus on choosing healthy, whole foods that are minimally processed. 

✅ Always make sure to check who you are getting your nutrition advice from. Stay focused on eating whole foods, lots of fruits and vegetables, and limit processing!

Give your pasta a fresh, colorful twist! I love to toss whole wheat or chickpea pasta with sautéed veggies—like zucchini, broccoli, carrots, or whichever veggies 🥕 🥦 I have on hand—and finish with a vibrant marinara sauce. 💫

This version is loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and flavor—light, satisfying, and delicious!

👉 I love adding fresh Parmesan 🧀 cheese for an added kick.

How about you? What’s your favorite pasta concoction? 🍝 🍝 🍝

🍂 I’ll admit it — I’m a spring and summer gal ☀️🌸 But there’s something magical about fall 🍁 The crisp air, cozy sweaters, and those vibrant changing leaves — it’s hard not to pause and soak it all in.

Did you know that spending time in nature can actually boost your health? Research shows that being outdoors — even for a short walk — can lower stress, improve mood, support immunity, and increase feelings of happiness and calm.

So if you can, step outside and enjoy the beauty around you. Take a mindful walk, breathe deeply, and let those golden leaves remind you how beautiful change can be. 🌿💛

Zero-Calorie Cooking Spray… Not So Zero! 🚨

That “0 calories” spray might sound perfect — but here’s the scoop: the serving size on the food label is a tiny ¼-second spritz. Most of us spray for several seconds, which adds up to more calories than you’d think!

🍳✨ It’s a great reminder to look beyond the label and stay mindful in the kitchen. Small choices can make a big difference over time — and awareness is key to balanced eating.

And, like always, pay attention to your portion.

Hello, With a new season comes changes and often a time for new beginnings. If you are at all like me, transitioning into the fall and winter seasons (especially in the north east where I live) are more difficult than moving into spring and summer where the days are longer and the meals often lighte...
