7 Undebatable Nutrition Facts, According to a Dietitian
As a nutritionist, I’m trained to keep up with peer-reviewed scientific literature, weigh the current data and develop conclusions and recommendations that are evidence-based. Unfortunately, much of the information available on the internet about what you should – and shouldn’t – be eating is based on personal experiences, opinions or feelings. These seven nutrition strategies, however, are based on the facts. Follow them to truly transform the way you eat and live.
1. Too much of a good thing equals a bad thing.
Martha Stewart may disagree, but you can overindulge on the healthiest of foods – yes, that includes kale, carrots and blueberries. I’ve met plenty of people who can’t keep the pounds off, yet their food records reveal only wholesome choices. So what gives? They eat too much. Period. Even nutritious foods can contribute to weight gain when consumed in large quantities. And with today’s oversized plates and bowls, and ginormous portions served in restaurants, you have to exert serious self-control to eat a “normal†serving. In order to keep portions in check, refer to the nutrition facts labels for the appropriate serving sizes and use these handy tools to perfect your portions.
