We all know that eating more vegetables is beneficial for health and many of us are trying to incorporate more into our mealtimes.
It seems easy to slip some more into lunch and dinner but are you missing out on an entire mealtime opportunity by not adding vegetables to breakfast?

This week in clinic, I have been shocked to hear some of the old fashioned and non-evidence based dietary information that some of my clients have been getting from their friends and from their local clinics. Some of this is just plain old bad advice.

Every now and then, I see some common themes coming from my clinics.
This week, the main thing I am noticing is that the health of so many people is suffering because they are not taking time for themselves. Many people are working hard, with disrupted schedules and lifestyle and don’t take the time to nourish themselves.

When I am looking through pages on the internet, I often come across articles such as:

Well, I still haven’t finished reading this 47-page report in detail, but it has really made me think.
The Lancet EAT report’s stand-out points for me are:

After clinic today, I will be mostly reading the report (EAT-Lancet commision on healthy diets from sustainable food systems); published last night.

As a result of a market survey, I have decided to add a new service to the menu.
The “express” appointment, for those who can’t commit to a package or full face to face consultation and support sessions, has been added.

School starts up again next week where I am. That means school lunches for another year. I do a packed lunch for my son.
Have your kids ever groaned when you’ve mentioned what kind of sandwiches were in their packed lunch? My son has. Now my sandwiches aren’t THAT bad, (really, they aren’t), it’s just that sometimes we all can get a little sick of sandwiches or wraps every single day.

I’ve had to think a long time about what I am going to write about National Obesity Week or, indeed, if I was going to write anything at all.
It’s a confusing time to be a Dietitian.
This is how my day went whilst trying to write this blog.

They are a pain, yeah I know, right, but your Dietitian may give you a food diary to complete between visits. This is very likely if you are starting an elimination diet for IBS or food intolerance testing but you could be asked to complete one of these for many other reasons. We don’t just give these as instruments of torture… honestly! There is a reason behind asking you to complete these and a very good reason to ask you to….please, oh please….fill them out as best as you can. They don’t have to be perfect, just give it your best shot.

One of the most challenging and, perhaps, polarising concepts for Dietitians at this time would be the emergence of weight neutral approaches to dietary management. For an outcome focussed profession, trained in the quantitative skills of energy requirement calculations and “diet plans”, the potential change in this focus to a weight neutral approach can be one that is either readily embraced or rejected as a “step too far”. Weight loss currently remains the primary recommendation for health improvement in individuals with high body mass index (BMI) despite limited evidence of long-term success. Weight neutral approaches have now emerged as a result of building evidence that “dieting” with a weight loss goal does not result in significant health improvements, regardless of weight changes. (1,2) and that dieting as a weight loss strategy proves unsuccessful in terms of long term maintenance.

Often when people come to visit me, they are asking for or expecting a 7 or 14 day “meal plan”.
“Oh, don’t tell me what to do. I just need a meal plan” is what I hear, quite often.
This is a sentence Dietitians dread.
In fact, Dietitians are very unlikely to give you these kinds of meal plans for 3 main reasons:
