Registered Foodie

I was in sunny San Diego for the American Association of Diabetes Educators 2016!! (AADE16). It was great and I learned so much! Can't wait for next years AADE in Indiana (hopefully I get to go). I highlight FITT as a vital sign and THE best lecture there presented by a Registered Dietitian.

Correction: I mention the ABC's - C stands for cholesterol, not circumference. My bad.

Quickie episode. Who enjoys drinking their calories? Not me, but there are times where smoothies come in handy.

Give you a little update about what I've been up to and a little "rant" on our disconnect with our food and reality.

Flipping (not swiping) pages! Yes, books use to be written on paper. Anyways, here's a list of 5 books I'd recommend on eating, nutrition, wellness, education:

(1) Stop the diet, I want to get off: fad diets, bad diets and a guide to healthy eating for life

-Lisa Tillinger Johansen, MS, RD

(2) Gut: The inside story of our body's most underrated organ

-Guilia Enders

(3) Savor: Mindful eating, Mindful life

-Thich Nhat Hanh

(4) The China Study: the most comprehensive study of nutrition ever conducted and the startling implication for diet, weight loss and long term health

-T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II

(5) The Food Revolution: how your diet can help save your life and our world

-John Robbins

Make it a lifestyle change. Fads are meant to come and go. Isn't being fat AND healthy an oxymoron? Also, some personal exciting news, but will hopefully eventually help others in upcoming episodes.

The Presidential Candidates on nutrition. And Arizona living....or should I say eating! Some foodie spots you should check out if you find yourself out in the A-Z. Arizona Cardinals=Bird Gang...Who knew?!?

Just a free community one time class that I attended and wanted to share the information that I learned, with you! Given by a Certified Personal Trainer.

The crackdown on sugar and America's sweet tooth. Beef, chicken, and eggs aren't the only foods with protein. Also, I've got no idea, so let's talk about it.

What's your hunger level? Who cares!?! Lets just eat! Plus new dietary guidelines about eggs and cholesterol. So, does that mean down your eggs and get out there and beat Apollo Creed?

Who calorie counts anymore? I count my miles. You only ate 5 miles today? Great Job!! Also, the health consciousness is growing, but is it showing? And, let us not forget your trustworthy Registered Dietitian...an integral part in any interdisciplinary team ;)
