It’s clutch-a-hot-mug-of-tea-at-all-times season 🥶
⠀
👉🏾Did you know January is “National Hot Tea Month?”⠀
⠀
🍵Tea is a tasty and comforting way to stay hydrated in the winter! ⚠️Just be sure to let it cool a little bit before you drink it. Drinking super hot liquids can damage your esophagus and increase risk of cancer in that area.
⠀
🌿My fave kind of tea is peppermint! 👇🏼What’s yours?

TOOT TOOT 💨
⠀
Just your shameless dietitian here to remind you that farts are a normal part of healthy digestion! 🙃
⠀
If gas is accompanied by intense stomach distension (some bloating is normal) and pain, talk to your doc and/or dietitian about it. 🧑🏻‍⚕️⠀
⠀
❤️ Beans are super affordable, accessible, nutritious and delicious! And they’re a great source of protein (and the amino acid lysine) - very important for vegans. 🧆 (This is a falafel emoji which is the closest we’ve got to beans for now 😆)
⠀
If you’re wary of beans because of gas, here are some tips for ya 👇🏾⠀
-Slowly up your bean intake⠀
-Drink plenty of water⠀
-If making beans from scratch, soak them first⠀
-Get used to toots!
⠀
Some of my fave ways to eat beans 😛
-Buffalo chickpeas (see tutorial in my highlights)⠀
-Black beans and rice ⠀
-Refried beans in a quesadilla⠀
-Kidney beans in soup
⠀
How do you like to eat your beans? 🍽

What a gift it is that all these incredible vegan options exist for those who want them! 😍

What vegan food are YOU so happy exists?! 👇🏼

Psst... restricting calories is NOT a pathway to health. ⚠️ In fact, it’s quite the opposite!
⠀
If you want to learn about both short-term and long-term effects of caloric restriction, look up this experiment that was done on conscientious objectors during WWII. It will make you go 🤯! So much of what we know about the physical, mental and physiological impacts of starvation come from this study.
⠀
Some side effects include:⠀
-Decreased strength and stamina⠀
-Decreased sex drive⠀
-Obsession with food⠀
-Fatigue⠀
-Irritability⠀
-Depression⠀
-Apathy
⠀
No one should starve themselves. (To clarify: 1200 calories a day, an arbitrary number often used as a dieting goal, is starving yourself)

Here’s to nourishing, not punishing, our bodies 💗

Still holding on to this nugget from @elyseresch during her FNCE session on Intuitive Eating with @evelyntribole!

It’s so succinct and so powerful. If you want to care for and respect your body, dieting is not the way to do it.

Here’s a super simple, savory meal or snack idea

Here’s a super simple, savory meal or snack idea for ya! 🤗
⠀
Add buffalo chickpeas to your avocado toast!!! 😛 They add protein, fiber and flavor to really amp up the satisfaction factor.
⠀
They’re really easy to make:⠀
-Heat a little oil in a pan, and pour in a can of drained/rinsed chickpeas⠀
-Sauté chickpeas for a few minutes and then add some buffalo sauce and stir
-Turn off heat, sprinkle generously with nutritional yeast and stir again to achieve these spicy, coated nuggets of goodness!
⠀
I usually eat about half a batch at once so this “recipe” makes enough to have leftovers 😍
⠀
Pictured here is an English muffin (from the freezer!) with avocado and buff chickpeas. I love quick and easy meals that I can whip up while working at home! 🍞🥑🌶

Now what do we have to do to get a bean emoji?!

It’s sad this has to be said but it’s the reality of diet culture in 2020! 😞
⠀
Unfortunately there are people out there using anti-diet language to sell weight loss. 😾
⠀
You are not bad for wanting to lose weight. That’s totally understandable. But when people exploit a social justice movement to make money and push a sneaky weight loss agenda, that is not cool.
⠀
Don’t take the bait! 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼🙅🏼‍♂️ I’m tagging some truly anti-diet, weight inclusive accounts in this image for you to follow.
And if you’re new to this space, I highly recommend reading the book Body Respect by Lindo Bacon, PhD, and Lucy Aphramor, PhD, RD. ❤️⠀
