A monthly blog written by WVU’s Dietitian, Sina King. Expect a new issue the third week of every month.
Read the June IssueStay up to date with the latest dietitian tips at WVU.
I’d like to talk about Intuitive Eating (IE). What it is (and what it isn’t). And how this framework is for everyone, because IE is a non-diet. I’d also like to say that any body currently experiencing summer...is a summer body!
I hope all of you are reading this as you decompress and enjoy some relaxation with friends and family after what I can imagine was a long and challenging semester. While I’m sure there were fun memories, laughs and great food over these last several months (socially-distanced, of course), I think it’s important to have an honest conversation about a topic that has impacted many of us (myself included). That topic is mental health.
I hope during a study break or your daily walk to get some fresh air, you can take some time to help me spread the word about a topic that not only impacts you and me, but people all around the world. That topic is food sustainability.
Welcome to the Dietitian Dish page where I, your campus registered dietitian (RD), will be bringing new blog posts every month to share evidenced-based nutrition information with all of you.
