Exactly! Most trendy diets are more about selling a story than science. It’s wild how much marketing drives what we think is healthy. This definitely shows why it’s important to look at the evidence, not just the hype. @beh353.bsky.social #beh353
we act like most diets are invented in labs, but they’re mostly invented in marketing meetings.
it’s important to remember that every mass marketed diet was invented by a normal human being (who wanted to sell you a diet).
the diet industry capitalizes on your insecurities

Peanut butter is more than just for sandwiches. It offers protein, healthy fats, and key nutrients that support energy and fullness. Look for simple ingredient lists, like peanuts and salt, and enjoy it in reasonable portions. #RealWorldNutrition

Exactly!! It’s all about balance fruit has so many benefits that get overlooked when people just focus on the sugar. Love the reminder that both fruit and ice cream can have a place in a healthy diet #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
"Omg fruit is full of sugar and so bad for you!" Have you considered that it's also full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber? And a fun fact is that our bodies need these nutrients so no, it's not the same as eating something like ice cream. Not that anything is wrong with ice cream.

Something that stuck with me from James Corden’s video is that obesity isn’t just about eating too much, it can be tied to hormones like leptin that affect hunger and fullness. It reminded me how important it is to approach health with more understanding. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

I absolutely agree! No child should ever go hungry. It’s heartbreaking that this is still an issue awareness. Action are the first steps to real change. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social
No kid in America should not have enough food. If we want to feed kids we have to know how many kids need to be fed. Ignoring and avoiding such an important issue will only make it worse.
Spread the word and call your legislators. We can make a difference and keep kids fed.

A barrier I relate to is how expensive healthy food is. On a student budget, it’s tough to afford fresh meals, so I usually grab cheaper fast food, even though I want to eat better. #beh353 @beh353.bsky.social

That’s so true! A lot of people think vegetarian diets are one size fits all, but your needs really do change over time. I like how this focuses on balance and planning, it makes the lifestyle more sustainable and healthy long term.

Yess!! Some of my favorite memories is traveling with my friends and family just to try and experience different foods.
“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.
