I try to eat healthy foods and keep healthy food habits most of the time. I also work out consistently and try to stay informed about nutrition, which is why am studying nutrition. None of those things qualify me to judge your food choices. I am not the food police.<\/p>\n
I am the one responsible for the food I put in my mouth. You are responsible for the food you put in your mouth. The only people that I give unsolicited food advice to are my own two children.<\/p>\n
Yes, I said “unsolicited.” If you ask for my opinion on food and nutrition, I will try to give it to you.<\/p>\n
I am not the food police, in fact, quite the opposite. I love food. I don\u2019t like processed or Frankenfoods and try to stay away from them. I love the colors and the textures and the odors of food, and I love sharing my love of food with my friends and family.<\/p>\n
My interest in learning more about food and nutrition is for me and my family, so don\u2019t worry that I will slapping that chocolate bar out of your hands. Also, if you invite me over for dinner, please don\u2019t worry about what you prepare. I\u2019m flexible and I will not go hungry for lack of food. I appreciate your efforts to make something \u2018healthy\u2019 for me but mostly because I hope it helps you enjoy good food as well.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m just studying nutrition and am really enjoying it, but I still have a long way to go. Much of what I will tell you is what I have learned over my lifetime and mainly over the last three years since I started taking better care of myself.<\/p>\n
Even when I do become an Registered Dietitian , I will still NOT be the food police. I will continue to be responsible for my own food choices and I will work with those who choose to utilize my services.<\/p>\n
I was doing a little research on this topic yesterday and came across countless articles from other RD\u2019s proclaiming their freedom from being the food police as well.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve made plenty of mistakes in my food choices over the years. I\u2019ve had short lived efforts that included diet pills, shakes and the quick fix fads. I also freely admit to going on the cookie diet for a few weeks when I first decided to change my unhealthy ways three years ago.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not perfect. I\u2019m a believer in the 80\/20 rule. I try to eat right 80% of the time and then I\u2019ll know that the 20% of my not healthy choices won\u2019t have a lasting impact on my health.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t always meet that 80% and over the years I\u2019ve learned that for the most part I want the 20% indulgences to really be worth it. I won\u2019t usually eat junk food that are full of fats and sodium, but give me something oozing chocolate or caramel that is homemade and I\u2019m all over that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
