Reposted from @registereddietitianapproved - We love this reminder by @flourish.with.food 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 | D I E T I T I A N S W E E K | Often when someone asks what I’m studying & I mention dietetics they immediately say “pretend you didn’t see what I just ate”🍫🍿 but dietitians aren’t the food police 👮♀️🚨& often actually love food 🥙 👩🏽🍳... after all we do study nutrition for 4+ years 📚 #evidencedbasednutrition The typical western diet is high in refined sugars, processed meats, fried foods & pre-packaged foods 🍩🍔🍟 working with a dietitian is not about only eating green veggies but rather developing healthy habits while still maintaining the pleasure of eating 🍽 During the day dietitians don’t only take diet history’s but are also involved with many other aspect such as growth monitoring 📈of children so you’ll often find me holding the babies or playing with the children in wards💕#whatdietitiansdo Generally a dietitian also considers psychosocial factors such as stress, food security, home environment etc so that nutrition education and counselling can be individualised for #bestpracticecare ✨Happy #dietitiansweek to all the current & future dietitians who follow this page 💁🏽♀️💫💖 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjFsqqlRPf/?igshid=1e86n201pgcba
