This helped me understand some confusion that I had. I honestly thought that the fruits that do have sugar, such as bananas, were bad for me, which is false, btw. Natural sugar is a better sugar than artificial one. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Sugar myths are everywhere. The real issue is added sugars, not fruit or milk. In my new blog, I break down natural vs added sugars, moderation, and common myths. Read here: www.shelleyrael.com/blog/sugar-m... #RealWorldNutrition

I agree your point is important to remind people all the time. Skipping meals can backfire & actually make people feel worse and not healthier. I like how you point out nourishment instead of guilt. Reminder that food is fuel and taking care of yourself matters. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
This is a great reminder because I know that so many people tend to skip meals, or they feel guilty for fueling their body with food. The thing is, our bodies need food to function! Skipping meals is not for sustainable for losing weight. Treat yourself, and stay healthy! @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
Food = fuel AND joy (+ culture, experience, love, etc.). You’re allowed to eat without guilt. No burpees required.

I completely agree canceling the food insecurity survey would be a huge setback. Without data, we can’t address the problem or allocate resources effectively. Every child deserves access to food, and awareness plus advocacy are key to making real change. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
If the annual food insecurity survey is canceled - the US has no way to monitor how often this experience is happening.
1 in 5 children in Kentucky are food insecure (do not have enough to eat). This is a 48% rise in two years.

I agree with her that nutrition isn't one size fits all. She's correct that spreading and sharing information is more helpful than just telling others to eat like her. It's encouraging, and I believe that people have the right to have a choice of what they eat for their body and lifestyle.
The trolls love to say "Don't listen to her about nutrition - you might end up looking like her." But I'm not telling you to eat like me (that would be silly; you're not me & I don't know enough about you)
But as instructional as I get is to say -- be wary of instructional one size fits all advice.

My usual food choice is matcha. To make it more nutrient dense, I can switch my whole and artificial syrups with unsweetened soy milk to add more protein and calcium and skip adding sugar. I love match as it provides antioxidants and fiber for calm focus. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353

That makes perfect sense—by ignoring what you have to say, they are unintentionally dismissing your viewpoint. It seems that rather than being corrected, what you truly want is to be appreciated and heard.
I often describe myself as 'fat' or 'chonky' - and people reply with "No you aren't, you're beautiful" or whatever else. I appreciate the attempted kindness, but it's not the compliment people think it is, it's actually an unkindness.

Food is so much more than just fuel. Whenever I think of people who do work out and say this exact quote, it saddens me to think that they wouldn't be able to understand, as you said, that it is so much more than just fuel. I believe food is what brings many types of people together every day.
“food is just fuel” is a popular saying in the fitness world. and sure, food can be fuel, but it can also be so much more.
food can be a way to connect with other people, cultures, and our memories.
you don’t have to moralize foods or punish yourself for enjoying them.
