Getting pretty emotional over here lately… espec

Getting pretty emotional over here lately… especially with 8 weeks left of Bryce being the only child. ⁣
⁣
I had a father and son in a session this week. I provided realistic nutritional changes that were agreed on together and goals to work on when he is ready. At the end of the session, the father mentioned that having this session with his son was a Father’s Day gift to him… I almost lost it during our meeting! I waited to get off zoom meeting to wipe my tears. ⁣
⁣
Between my pregnancy hormones and me genuinely caring for my clients to gain a better quality of life, once in awhile I tear up during or after sessions. It is so cool to see how clients progress over a few sessions, build life-changing habits, and improve their relationship with each other and food. ⁣
⁣
This past session really made me think about the small things I stress about (as type A perfectionist), but when you step out and look at the big picture are not worth the stress I give it:⁣
✨my son not eating balanced meals (or too many snacks) when some kids don’t know when their next meal will be⁣
✨messy house… when I prayed to have kids and it isn’t always easy for others ⁣
✨not spending enough time due to work… but when I am with him I show him so much love and affection ⁣
✨not wanting to be around other people without us… I am blessed that he feels so safe with us when not every child has loving parents ⁣
✨when bed time is later… maybe he was just meant to spend the extra time with those people ⁣
✨when I lose my temper… I try my best to apologize so he realizes that mommy isn’t perfect⁣
⁣
I hope you all have a great Friday and weekend!⁣
✨⁣

How do you pack for your summer vacation or beach

How do you pack for your summer vacation or beach trip?⁣
⁣
Vacations are great not having to cook, but that can also lead to lots of going out to eat and relying on convenience stores for food. ⁣
⁣
Be prepared with a cooler stacked with nutrient dense foods. It will be cheaper, keep you more full than eating bags of snacks, and will ensure you get some fruits and veggies that may go missing during vacation. ⁣
⁣
We went on a long drive for a weekend trip and these snacks, along with some packaged snacks & pb&j, kept the car ride a lot better! [crying toodler… feed them!]⁣
⁣
To be honest I got really sick of going out to eat after 2-3 times and really craved these foods and my normal go-to food at home.⁣
⁣
You too can start building healthy habits that you start craving homemade, healthy food while also allowing yourself to enjoy something other than salads every time you go out to eat!⁣
⁣
Let me help you create that healthy balance in life. I am telling you that you will feel better and food stress will go away! ➡️ link in bio to request an appointment!⁣

Working from home is great, but I crave time out of the house!

A weekend getaway being steps from the beach with these two was what a perfect escape.

When your ‘diet’ or way of eating starts cutti

When your ‘diet’ or way of eating starts cutting out healthy, whole foods and recommends processed snacks instead… you are secretly creating a poor relationship with food. ⁣
⁣
Weight watchers and other accountability programs can be a great to hold you accountable. ⁣
⁣
My issue is that I have clients now coming to me viewing healthy food as “too high in points/fat/sugar/calories” but are totally fine with the processed snacks. ⁣
⁣
Nothing wrong with a balance of processed snacks once in awhile, but diet culture has changed the way we actually look at healthy, whole foods and it takes time to get those judgements out of our head. ⁣
⁣
I am here to help you find the balance in your nutrition and build a healthy relationship with food!⁣

Get out of that dinner rut!⁣
⁣
I have been talking to so many clients that are just tired of thinking of what to make for dinner! I hear ya!! ⁣
It is easy to just do the same thing over and over again. But variety is important to keep eating healthy exciting and provide different nutrients. ⁣
With all #jerseyfresh produce coming out, use this time to add excitement and variety to your dinner!⁣
⁣
Here are some suggestions to get excited about your next homemade dinner:⁣
▫️adding in-season produce (right now: peas, zucchini, cucumbers, Swiss chard, rhubarb, strawberries, beets, asparagus, radishes)⁣
▫️prepare produce in different ways (ex: zucchini boats [pic], zoodles, raw, cooked, added with sauce, salads)⁣
▫️use different cooking techniques (hello grill season!)⁣
▫️try a new recipe per week⁣
▫️incorporate different cuisines (ex: Mediterranean, Indian, Mexican, Asian)⁣
▫️use fresh herbs to season, turn into a sauce, or add more flavor ⁣
▫️create your favorite dish from a restaurant you enjoy⁣
⁣
Feel free to share your dinner suggestions⬇️⁣

Happy MDW and start of BBQ season (even if it doesn’t feel like it here in NJ)!⁣
⁣
Save this post for some healthy items to bring to your summer BBQs! ⁣
⁣
This has been a hot topic this week with my clients. Whether it be they haven’t been to parties with food in awhile, just nervous about what to eat at a BBQ, don’t want to get off track, or scared this will lead to getting off track. ⁣
⁣
I want to remind you this is life and if your ‘diet’ is making you scared to go to events like this, than it isn’t a way of eating for life. ⁣
⁣
It is time to build a healthy relationship with food where you:⁣
✨don’t have fear going to events with food⁣
✨can eat foods that past diets said “no” to ⁣
✨consume proper portions and balance ⁣
✨leave without food guilt ⁣
✨get back on track the next meal or day ⁣

Constipation is very common among pregnant woman d

Constipation is very common among pregnant woman due to increased levels of hormones that slow down the digestive tract. There are many factors from supplementation, lifestyle, GI history, nutrition, hydration, movement, stress, etc. ⁣
⁣⁣
Constipation is common among many of my non-pregnant clients as well. It isn’t a topic many people bring up, but dietitians are all about the poop! It defines your health!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Constipation is considered:⁣⁣
💩less than 3 bowel movements a week⁣⁣
💩hard, lumpy, dry, or worse little rabbit turds⁣⁣
💩straining or difficult to pass ⁣⁣
💩feeling that you didn’t pass all stool ⁣⁣
💩or whatever you feel is different for you... because everyone is different. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I have helped clients go from no bowel movement for 4 days and now going daily! These are just a few general tips, but an individualized plan is best to identify why you are having constipation and what we can do to improve your bowel movements. ⁣
⁣
If you feel like you are having any GI discomfort or constipation, let’s chat!⁣

Momma’s day⁣
⁣
To all the mommas or mommas-to-be out there... please put your mental, physical, and spiritual health as a priority!⁣
⁣
I see moms of all ages and too many that have gone years putting their health on the back burner to only have health complications later in life. Complications that are making it hard to take care of their own family members or to enjoy life. ⁣
⁣
Start young to take care of yourself and if you feel like you have gone years without thinking of yourself, let me help you find that balance with your health. ⁣
⁣
I truly believe everyone deserves good health and to feel like they can do anything in their life. Don’t let your health hold you back!⁣

Just try one meal that is more plant focused and experience the different flavors and colors in your meal! You may actually be shocked by how delicious plants can be!⁣

FOOD WASTE: One of my biggest pet peeve and one we

FOOD WASTE: One of my biggest pet peeve and one weird fact about me below!⁣
(If you missed my sustainable eating talk... go check out my last post with @reece_wilke from @hadukoacademy )⁣
⁣
Food waste is like throwing away money that could go towards healthy food or helping others. And Americans throw away 30-40% of food! ⁣
⁣
🧐Think about 1/3 of your food going straight into the trash, wasted nutrients as people are out there struggling to figure out when their next meal is coming. ⁣
⁣
When was the last time you took a good look at the food at the bottom of your freezer or back of your pantry?⁣
⁣
Maybe try for a week to use up what you have at home. Clean out the fridge, pantry, and freezer. You will save money, food going to the landfill, and create a clean slate to fill with nutrient dense foods. ⁣
⁣
➡️weird fact about me...I love to clean and organize pantries and fridges. I love when my fridge is empty so I can fill it with new and healthy products (as it is now!). ⁣
When I was in middle school I would clean out my friend’s parent’s pantries to make it easier to eat the old stuff before the new. ⁣
⁣
When I was dating my husband, I would clean and organize his parent’s fridge (with permission). When they have pizza night, I eat some of their leftovers. ⁣
⁣
Last night I turned baked potatoes into smashed rosemary potatoes, steamed veggies into seasoned roasted veggies, and grilled chicken sliced into our salad. ⁣
⁣
I can’t handle seeing food become moldy, thrown out, and wasted. Bags filled going to the landfill, which than increases greenhouse gases! ⁣
⁣
Sooo... are you someone that forgets what’s in the back of your fridge?⁣
I would love to know! ⬇️

I am still here for you!⁣
⁣
I went MIA from social media for a week or so and will probably start doing it more often. ⁣
⁣
Being totally vulnerable here... social media has put a lot of pressure and strain on me (and relationships around me) after long days of working with clients all day, taking care of an 18 month old, eating healthy, working out, doing normal house stuff, and being more tired this pregnancy sometimes the last thing I want to do is create and organize posts. ⁣
⁣
These week stepping back on the amount I am on social media helped me with my anxiety and provided so much more time for me to focus on my business, family, the Word, and me. ⁣
⁣
I am letting go of the pressure of these little squares and putting that energy for greater things. I will still be here providing free education for you, but will give more to my clients and new clients. ⁣
⁣
If you are on the fence about making an appointment... now is the time! Plus your insurance most likely covers sessions for free!⁣
⁣
I am here to help you step away from the diet and to start living without that anxiety around nutrition to start healing your body and relationship with food. I look at your health holistically and can’t wait to help you in your health journey. ⁣
⁣
Head on over to my website (link in bio) to request an appointment or email me to get started: bittnutrition@gmail.com ⁣

See you soon!⁣

When I get clients that want to stop their dieting

When I get clients that want to stop their dieting and just start living a healthy lifestyle without the anxiety around food... I want to jump through my screen and hug them. ⁣
⁣
I lived YEARS with an unhealthy relationship with food. From strict restricting, binge eating, emotional eating, and extreme exercise. To only find myself with amenorrhea (missing periods), extreme anxiety around parties with food, and hating myself too many times after a binge session. ⁣
⁣
Living life without that anxiety or feeling judged (“you are a dietitian and eating _____?”) around food is so amazing. ⁣
⁣
I look back and look at the events and relationships I missed (mentally). Maybe I needed therapy, but after years of working at by myself, I am free of that. ⁣
⁣
If this is something you are struggling, I want to help you. Don’t waste 2021 living with anxiety around food and start living!⁣
⁣
Let’s book a session to get started on a life of freedom around food! ⁣
