Nutritonal epi studies from Harvard prove 1 thing over & over again: Already-healthy, well-educated, white professionals deeply invested in the pursuit of health as a middle class virtue will always report eating foods *they've been told* are healthy. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…

I recommend a keto breakfast to all of my patients. If they want to know the benefits of a keto breakfast I send them to menshealth.com/nutrition/a25… I send them to dietdoctor.com to learn which foods to eat for a keto breakfast.

Many of us who work with patients with obesity start the conversation about stalls and regaining at the beginning. We know that most people regain, no matter what diet they used to lose weight. Why pretend otherwise? Better to prepare realistically.

Understanding that we are all likely to regain weight at times is so critical Its most important to understand it’s not your fault and you can start to evaluate the best next step forward. Coaching/counseling IMVHO is critical It’s not the diet but the diet/fail mentality

A few weeks ago, I went to Nashville and talked to Jason Isbell about why country music is so protective of nostalgia and the story of white victimhood. As you can imagine, he had a lot to say: buzzfeednews.com/article/ela…
Jason Isbell Is Tired Of Country’s Love Affair With White Nostalgia

Jason Isbell Is Tired Of Country’s Love Affair With White Nostalgia

“I think it’s possible to acknowledge that you have benefited from a system that’s unequal without feeling shame or even guilt from it.”

I think "guidelines" have a lot to do with multiple government (or other) entities "speaking as a unified voice." When there's little chance for actual consensus (or enforcement) they signal "we're on this!"when we aren't.

Perhaps when you have no intention or capability of enforcement but you want to empower those who might have that intention/capability you call it a “guideline”. As I understand it we get guidelines from those who can’t produce mandates, but may think smaller entities should.

To me, it would be easier to live with if it were that simple. Instead, it is a tangled history of politics AND economics: see eathropology.com/2012/11/13/…

There is so much cultural (and other) violence in one-size-fits-all national public health dietary guidelines:

"Moreover, the [EAT-Lancet] Commission overlooks the socio-cultural practices of the people who will be eating these healthy diets, and the complexities of nourishment that are at the heart of kinship, social life, and caregiving"

An excellent question. I asked it of one of the leaders of our professional organization. The answer I got was they wanted to keep "their seat at the table." And I thought, What is the point of a "seat at the table" if you can't do anything about what is being served???

That's actually the purpose of the GL! For industry to have standards & definitions to "game"! What other purpose could they possibly serve?! "No one follows them!" [Says every RD ever.]

Replying to @ZacharyWenger @GreedSpam
That you are dreaming that ultra-processed foods will help folks meet the GL. We've tried that experiment in Australia with the 'health stars' & the food industry just gamed them (just as they've gamed the GL anyway). Even easier with plant-based protein foods.

A brilliant idea! I am putting together a holiday menu for my family's gathering & I believe I will include some version of this! ❤️ PS: I also keep getting requests for a Thai food teaching workshop (we are going to do a Polish-Ukranian pierog- making evening too!)
