From food choices to portion sizes, here are 5 myths that
Dietitians put to rest in order to help you make healthy choices for yourself
and your family. Dietitians are trained to give the best advice regarding food
choices. Contrary to popular belief, Dietitians will rarely advise to abstain
from any one specific food. It’s more
important to be aware of how much we
eat. Dietitians are passionate about educating others on how to find balance
with their eating choices.
Healthy-ish Toppers p. 12
This page features some tasty topping alternatives from
around the world. Everything from a spicy Kimchi from Korea to a creamy
Tzatziki yogurt dip from Greece, these flavorful toppers are great for any time
of the day; spreads on toast, dips for wraps, tossed in a salad, or used as a
glaze for items on the grill.
A Gluten Free Life p.32
This article gives a lot of insight into gluten; including
what it is and why it can be a problem for some people. It also highlights the
symptoms of the disease and is a great resource for those who experience celiac
disease as a part of their everyday lives.

The Greener Side
p.36
These next few pages are full of creative ideas on how to add
more green to your plate. This section offers a variety of bright recipes to
try as well as helpful tips to reuse food and to make life in the kitchen a
little easier.
Strong Not Skinny
p.48
Setting healthy goals, cutting the right calories, working
out for weight loss, understanding weight training, and making cardio count are
a few of the hot topics in this featured article. Understanding the importance
of all bodies and the different shapes, sizes, and even metabolisms that come
with them is key to finding a healthy lifestyle that you can stick with for a
lifetime. Rather than focusing on a scale number, which is easy to stress and
obsess over, shifting focus to educating yourself on the important
macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fats) is worth your while. Macronutrients
are the building blocks that make you, well, you. Having an understanding of
each will set you up to maintain these healthy habits and help you feel your
best!
