59. The Best Intuitive Eating Tips from Registered Dietitians

Thank you for joining me this week for a quick solo episode. Today I want to talk about self-care. How do you define self-care? We see it on social media #selfcare with a variety of posts from selfies, beauty products, workouts, trips, Botox, skin care products, purchases, and many others.  We talk about nurturing versus numbing self-care habits as the #selfcare may get a little muddled.

Self-care is a part of caring for yourself to feel better (each day).  That is why I want to redefine self-care and discuss DAILY self-care habits.  I have narrowed down 5 main points for DAILY self-care habits to keep your eating and moving habits consistent.  

These main points keep your body and mind in balance to help you feel your best!  If one area is missing, you get thrown off balance for the day.  Learn how to achieve balance in your daily life with these important steps in making you and your health your highest priority! 

Today we are talking about eating habits for kids. We have covered the topic of intuitive eating for adults, but how do you teach your child intuitive eating, especially when they are picky eaters? Picky eating can be extremely difficult and cause stress for parents and the entire family.  How do you stop tantrums at the dinner table when new foods are served? How do you comfort your child when this happens?

We talk with nutritionist, Hayley known on Instagram.  Hayley has wonderful tips and advice to take your picky eater to an intuitive eater and have peaceful meals. We talk about the steps to introduce new foods, how to calm the worry of making sure your child is getting all the nutrition they need, and how to navigate the holidays, especially when family members may be commenting on what your child is or is not eating.  Join us for this conversation.

First off disclaimer, I am not saying a dietitian can take the place of your therapist. Therapists are necessary for eating disorders and different degrees of disordered eating patterns to help you in your relationship with food. In fact, I was lucky enough to have a licensed therapist on the show in episode: #15 Food Therapy & Body Acceptance, be sure check out licensed therapist, Cheri @foodfreedomtherapist.

The connection here is, how many times do you see a therapist? Weekly, bi-monthly? It is usually on a consistent basis.

If you are needing to make a change in your eating habits, maybe adapting intuitive eating practices, or building a base of balanced nutrition, a couple sessions with a registered dietitian may not cut it.  You may need to take a consistent practice of meeting with a dietitian longer than a couple of weeks because learning this process takes time and practice. And if meeting with a dietitian is not necessary for you at this time, then what can you do to help you through this journey?  Let me explain . . . 

Today we have an inspiring guest that will take your through the highs and lows of emotions in her health journey. Katie Allen shares her story about dealing with emotional eating, low self-esteem, and hitting her highest weight.

Katie took it upon herself to make a change in her health. A huge change, a dramatic change that did not come in a matter of weeks or months, but more than a year.

Katie took small steps to finding ways to overcome emotional eating and gain more energy in her daily lifestyle to keep up with her two adorable little girls.

Katie shares the seedling that started her health journey, that ONE thing that was missing, and has flourished to help her lose about a 160 pounds. Even though that number on the scale sounds amazing, there’s so much more than focusing on the physical appearance in this process. 

You will absolutely love this conversation!

57. How Do You Talk to Yourself in Your Relationship with Food? Kristen Lorenz, RD @thelastdietitian

New diets, new programs, new ways to lose weight are goals still on the mind with the new year. We have been talking a lot about this topic here on the podcast. 

Some people have already given up up on their new year's resolutions, whereas some people are still thinking about their goals and waiting till about February to figure out goals for the new year. 

So, if you are still in limbo about which diet to start or which new eating style you want to take on this year, let's go a little deeper and ask yourself these questions I will discuss in the episode. 

I say this with deepest compassion for you to be successful. I am passionate to find what works for you and how you can maintain healthy habits for life! 

Fad diets, the latest diets you see on Facebook or hear your friend talking about, may be the most harmful to your health because it can set you 1,000 steps back from your goal. Let me explain . . .
