Send us a textSelf-compassion is the missing ingredient for sustainable weight loss that many people overlook while focusing solely on diet and exercise. • Practicing self-compassion means treating yourself with the same kindness you would offer a friend• Common signs of negative self-talk include phrases like "I already messed up, I might as well continue" and "I don't have the willpower"• Self-compassion doesn't mean giving up on your goals, but rather giving yourself grace during setbacks• Social media can contribute to unrealistic expectations and negative self-comparison• Focus on tracking body composition and non-scale victories rather than fixating on weight• Identifying the root causes of emotional eating helps develop healthier coping strategies• Pausing and asking "what do I really need right now?" can interrupt emotional eating patterns• Replacing negative thoughts with constructive alternatives builds a healthier mindset• Weight loss is a lifelong journey, not a race with arbitrary deadlines• Building sustainable habits is more important than achieving rapid resultsFor a free downloadable healthy weight loss grocery list and guide, visit melissametri.com or find Melissa on Instagram @theweightlossdietitian.

Send us a textSeed oils have gained a bad reputation, but the science doesn't support the fear-mongering around these common cooking ingredients. We examine the facts behind seed oils, debunk popular myths, and explain how they fit into a balanced, healthy diet.• Seed oils include canola, sunflower, soybean, corn, grapeseed, cottonseed, and safflower oils• Omega-6 fatty acids in seed oils only cause inflammation when they drastically outweigh omega-3s in your diet• Most commercial seed oils are refined using heat and solvents, but residue levels are tightly regulated and considered safe• Cold-pressed or expeller-pressed options are available for those concerned about processing methods• Saturated fats like butter and coconut oil may raise LDL cholesterol in some individuals• Large long-term studies do not show a clear link between moderate seed oil consumption and chronic disease• Major health organizations support using plant-based oils as part of a healthy diet• Much of the controversy stems from misinterpreted animal studies, fear-based social media posts, or cherry-picked data• Focus on using a mix of oils, getting enough omega-3s, eating more wholesome foods, and limiting ultra-processed foods• Your overall eating pattern matters more than any single ingredientIf you found this episode helpful, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone wondering about seed oils.

Send us a textLiberarse de las etiquetas de los alimentos podría ser el paso más importante para desarrollar una relación saludable con la alimentación. Como nutriologa titulada, constantemente escucho a mis clientes pedir listas de alimentos "buenos" y "malos", pero nunca se las doy. ¿Por qué? Porque este pensamiento de blanco o negro crea ciclos dañinos de restricción, culpa y atracones que dañan nuestra relación con la comida y nuestro cuerpo.Cuando categorizamos los alimentos como "malos", nos preparamos para el fracaso. En el momento en que comemos algo de nuestra lista mental de "prohibiciones", sentimos vergüenza y, a menudo, abandonamos por completo nuestros objetivos de salud. Este podcast explora cómo la cultura de la dieta nos ha enseñado a juzgar la comida moralmente, desconectándonos de las señales naturales de hambre y saciedad de nuestro cuerpo. ¿Recuerdas cuando comer era sencillo? Nacemos sabiendo cuándo tenemos hambre y cuándo estamos saciados, pero en algún momento del camino —a menudo mediante una crianza bienintencionada como las reglas de "limpiar el plato"— perdemos esta conexión intuitiva.Aprender a reconectar con las señales de tu cuerpo requiere práctica, pero es transformador. Comparto estrategias prácticas para desarrollar la neutralidad alimentaria, incluyendo cómo practicar la alimentación consciente, por qué las comidas deben durar al menos 20 minutos (¡ese tiempo tarda la señal de saciedad en llegar al cerebro!) y cómo abordar la comida con curiosidad en lugar de juzgar. Los padres encontrarán información valiosa sobre su papel en la formación de la relación de sus hijos con la comida: su trabajo es ofrecer opciones nutritivas, mientras sus hijos deciden cuánto comer. Al modelar un lenguaje positivo sobre la comida y nuestro cuerpo, podemos romper los ciclos intergeneracionales de culpabilidad alimentaria y trastornos alimentarios.

Send us a textHave you ever felt guilty after eating a food you enjoy? That familiar wave of shame that follows the last bite of pizza, ice cream, or chocolate? You're not alone. As a registered dietitian, I've seen this pattern play out with over 90% of my clients, and it's time we break this cycle.Food isn't meant to carry moral weight. When we categorize foods as "good" or "bad," we create an unhealthy relationship that leads to restriction, binging, and shame. This episode dives deep into why these labels develop—from diet culture influence to childhood food rules—and the harmful impacts they have on our mental and physical wellbeing. We explore how seemingly innocent comments about "cleaning your plate" or avoiding "junk food" can create lasting food trauma that affects eating behaviors well into adulthood.The path to food freedom starts with neutrality. Rather than judging our choices, we can approach eating with curiosity and mindfulness. Why do we want certain foods? How do they make us feel? Are we truly listening to our hunger and satiety cues? By reframing our language around food, focusing on what we can add to meals rather than restrict, and treating ourselves with the same compassion we offer others, we can heal our relationship with eating. For parents, this shift becomes even more crucial as children absorb our attitudes about food and our bodies like little sponges. Let's build a healthier foundation for ourselves and the next generation by breaking free from harmful food labels once and for all.Ready to transform your relationship with food? Listen to discover practical strategies for embracing food neutrality and creating a peaceful approach to eating that supports your wellbeing without unnecessary guilt or shame.

Send us a textLas grasas alimenticias han sido injustamente demonizadas durante décadas, pero la verdad es mucho más matizada y fascinante. La grasa no solo es densa en calorías (9 calorías por gramo), sino que es literalmente alimento para el cerebro, ya que aproximadamente el 60 % del cerebro está compuesto de tejido graso. Este macronutriente, mal entendido, es esencial para la producción de hormonas, la correcta absorción de las vitaminas A, D, E y K, la estructura celular y el almacenamiento de energía.Comprender las tres categorías principales de grasas puede transformar tu relación con la comida y la salud. Las grasas insaturadas (presentes en aguacates, aceite de oliva, frutos secos, semillas y pescados grasos) favorecen la salud cardíaca al aumentar los niveles de colesterol HDL (bueno). Las grasas saturadas procedentes de productos animales, coco y palma deben limitarse, especialmente para quienes tienen problemas de colesterol. La categoría más problemática, las grasas trans, se encuentran en los alimentos procesados ​​y contribuyen a un mal pronóstico cardiovascular al aumentar el colesterol malo y disminuir el bueno. Ve más allá de la afirmación de "0 gramos" en las etiquetas nutricionales y revisa los ingredientes en busca de "aceites parcialmente hidrogenados", el verdadero indicador de estas grasas dañinas. ¿La buena noticia? Incorporar grasas saludables a tu rutina diaria es sencillo y delicioso. Prueba a añadir rodajas de aguacate a tus comidas, a sustituir la mantequilla por aceite de aguacate al cocinar a altas temperaturas, a espolvorear frutos secos o semillas en el yogur o a usar aceites en aerosol para controlar las porciones y disfrutar de platos sabrosos. Recuerda que las grasas saludables te ayudan a sentirte saciado, a estabilizar el azúcar en sangre y a favorecer numerosas funciones corporales. No les temas a las grasas: conócelas, elige con cuidado y tu cuerpo (especialmente tu corazón y tu cerebro) te lo agradecerá. ¿Quieres más orientación?
