This is such a great reminder for me that balance and moderation is key. Nutrition will always change just like life! I need this mindset especially in the summer season because I somehow always come up with a new diet to help me lose weight fast, when in reality it’s really restrictive and harmful.

I think it was accurate and easy for me to document because it was only the past 24 hrs. If it were to be for a week, then I would have a hard time committing to documenting. I was surprised to see that I drank so little water, so this is a wake up call to drink more. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

I think it’s important to note that it’s okay to have “bad” oils compared to the “good” oils. Sure, olive and coconut oil have more antioxidants and it’s usually better for the body, but I wouldn’t say that the oils labeled as “bad” are necessarily bad! Everything needs to be in moderation!

A fun fact is that fiber can reduce cholesterol levels in the body! Not only is fiber great for bacterial gut health and bowel movements, it’s also great for binding to bile salts and acids, which are cholesterol-based. By binding, excess cholesterol can be excreted from the body! @beh353 #beh353

This highlights how interconnected mental health disorders can be. It made we question why exposure therapy isn’t used more. Both EDs and anxiety/OCD have ritualistic patterns and fears. I think it is time to separate diagnosis and rely on the underlying mechanisms that overlap with e/o.

Although it might seem like media articles have done their research, never fully trust what they say. Always be on the lookout for peer-reviewed articles and take note of red flags, such as attention-grabbing headlines which can be misleading or exaggerated. @beh353 #beh353

Hi guys🙋‍♀️! I’m a 4th year premed health science major. I took a nutrition class before, so I think this is a good follow up. How do I manage cravings? “Whole”=healthy eating (eg. whole wheat). I like sushi and pho 🤩. Nice to meet you guys! @beh353 #beh353
