Intuitive Eating and OTP
By Marysa Cardwell Intuitive Eating is a book written by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. Many dietitians refer to this book as the “Bible” when helping clients heal their relationship with food. Here at ALL of NUTRITION, we often use the principles of Intuitive Eating, alongside THE ONE-TWO PUNCH (OTP) when helping our clients. So what is intuitive eating? And, how does it relate to OTP? There are ten principles to work on mastering while becoming an intuitive eater. They are: Reject the Diet Mentality: Do we all know by now that dieting DOES NOT WORK!?!Perhaps anger at those who have enticed us to constantly try new diets even though THEY DO NOT…

Milking It
By Claudia Wilson So many “milks”!!! It used to be that when someone said milk, everyone new they were talking about cow milk – that’s all there was. Now, there’s rice milk, almond milk, hemp milk, flaxseed milk, coconut milk, soy milk, goat milk, oat milk, and more. And within each of these types there are subtypes – sweetened, unsweetened, vanilla flavored, non-fat, reduced-fat and full-fat. So many choices!!! I’m going to use cow milk as an example for starters and explain how it fits into THE ONE-TWO PUNCH. Yes, a cup of cow milk has 8 grams of protein (about the same as a cheese stick), but it also has…

My visit to Hell. And no, I won’t be returning.
By Marysa Cardwell If ya’ll didn’t know already, Claudia and I are REAL people. We have struggles and we make mistakes, just like all of you. I feel like I can relate to so many of you with your struggles with eating. I really do. Ever since I could remember, I have been ashamed of my body. I think I officially started dieting in 7th grade. Not knowing, as I know now, that diets do not work, I started a never ending struggle with dieting. It created an awful relationship with food and myself. The exact causes of eating disorders are not known. Often times, a person has a genetic…

That’s NUTS!
By Claudia Wilson I’ve been putting off tackling this topic for a while…it’s kind of controversial and leads to a lot of the following after I explain my opinion, “But…” “Really?” “Are you serious?” Hear me out… Nuts are considered by some nutritionists to be fats. That makes sense as most of the calories in nuts come from fat, roughly 80 percent. But they also contain about 14 percent protein and 6 percent carbohydrate. A standard serving of nuts contains about as much protein as one egg, one ounce of meat, or a cheese stick. In THE ONE-TWO PUNCH, nuts are considered a PROTEIN. For most people, a fist of nuts is…

Beans, beans, …. you know the rest!
By Claudia Wilson In THE ONE-TWO PUNCH, there are foods designated as protein, carbohydrate, and fat. If you are a client in our office, we give you a handout outlining the various categories and the foods in each. Not every food fits neatly into a category. Some foods contain a mixture of nutrients. Such is the case with legumes. These are considered a MIXED food in THE ONE-TWO PUNCH because they contain a mixture of both carbohydrate and protein. For example, a half cup of black beans contains 7-8 grams of protein and 20 grams of carbohydrate. So lopsided a bit towards carbs. And while they contain about 15 grams fiber that contribute to fullness, they don’t…

When Eating Turns Into Regret
By Claudia Wilson There are lots of reasons a binge happens. The point I want to make is there is ALWAYS a reason and sometimes many. Always. I know this is really strong language, backed by a very strong opinion about this behavior. Sure, lots of us overeat and the reason might be fairly superficial – it tasted good so we kept eating because we wanted the taste to continue, we accidentally went past the point of fullness before we realized it, we got caught up in the activity and stopped paying attention. It happens to all of us. The bingeing I’m talking about is getting overly full; significantly, painfully…

Hunger vs Appetite
By Claudia Wilson It can be really difficult to figure out true physical hunger. Sometimes we want something so bad, it starts to feel like a need; it morphs into a need. This is often how I feel with clothes. TBH, I really don’t need another article of clothing. Truly. But then my mind is flooded with all the perks of a certain something and before I know it, the shoes in question have gone from “oooh, those are cute” to “OH! I think those could be really useful; after all they’re a different shade of black, have a different heel, different fabric and a different attitude (yes, I just…

7 Secrets of Thinness
By Claudia Wilson Before anyone comes unglued, I’m not preaching a bias towards being thin. But a title such as, “Secrets of The Appropriate Weight for Height” just doesn’t have the same allure. Nor does, “Secrets of The Reasonably Healthy, Fit, and Just Right Weight”. Okay, so just hear me out. I’m talking about the habits of people who don’t seem to go up and down and weight continually and they manage to keep their weight within a healthy range (and a range that they’re comfortable with) for a long period of time. They also don’t seem super preoccupied or stressed about it; HINT, HINT. Here’s the do’s and don’ts…
