Don’t fall for these “healthy” swaps like I did

Published 14 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader👋

​

I’ve been a registered dietitian for almost 10 years now...but before that? I fell for a LOT of convincing “nutrition facts” online.

​

And if I’m being truly honest, sometimes I still do. That’s one of the reasons I love making YouTube videos. They give me an excuse to dive into the research and really figure out what’s true (and what’s just trendy nonsense).

​

This week’s video is all about the surprising nutrition “facts” I once believed... and that you might still believe too.

​

Here’s a little teaser:
👉 One swap I made in college left me hungrier and more tired, even though I thought I was being healthier.
👉 I once spent silly amounts of money in an effort to have longer healthier hair... all I got was expensive urine!

​

And after you watch, I’d love to know which of these “facts” have you believed too? Just hit reply and let me know.

​

In other news.. I'm working in ICU this week. This surprises soooo many people...but have you ever wondered how people sedated in comas get nutrition 🤣 The role of a dietitian is much more complex than you may think 😉

Talk soon,

Hi Reader👋 I survived another hurricane this week (life in Bermuda, eh?), but today I want to talk about a different kind of storm — the media hurricane around ultra-processed foods. Firstly, lets reflect, because every decade, there’s a new food villain. In the 80s, it was fat. In the 90s, carbs took the blame. The 2000s? Sugar. And now, in the 2020s, it’s ultra-processed foods. Think packaged snacks, frozen meals, sweetened cereals, fast food.The headlines make them sound terrifying, but...

Hi Reader👋 Hi friends, I was watching the Biggest Loser show on Netflix last weekend. Its called Fit For TV (did anyone else catch it?) It’s all about what went on behind the scenes of the original show and where the contestants are now. What really stood out to me was how much emphasis was put on rapid weight loss. We’re talking people eating as little as 800 calories a day and exercising for hours. Sure, the weight came off quickly, but at a huge cost: muscle loss, slowed metabolism, and an...

Hi Reader👋 Well… I disappeared from your inbox for a little while there.But I promise I have a good excuse — I was in Ireland getting married! 💍 It was the most magical couple of weeks, and because my email subscribers are the most committed, I thought I’d share a few photos with you below. Now that I’m back home, I’m getting back into my usual gym routine — the same one I followed in the lead-up to my wedding. And that brings me to the topic of this recent YouTube video. Because one of the...
