Nutrition experts flabbergasted by 'diet culture' - New Mexico News Port By Elaina Jameson / NM News Port/ From social media to pop culture, research shows millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, may be overly influenced by physical looks and negative stereotypes. Researchers have found a strong association between social media and young people’s body image, which can...

Some close up images of our tables from Friday nights Adult Night at Explora!

We had so much fun at Explora Adult Night!

Join us this Friday at Explora for adult night! Doors open at 6:30!

Come out this Friday night to The Bosque School for a special showing of the movie "Embrace," and a special guest panel with our own Clinical Counselor, Kimberly Payne and Registered Dietitian, Liz Fox!
Message from Bosque school:
"Join Bosque's Service Learning Group "Woman's Empowerment League" (WEL) for this powerful film screening of "Embrace" followed by a panel discussion on body image and media literacy. It's free and open to the wider community. Students under 14 must attend with an adult. Donations welcome and refreshments will be sold; proceeds will support future WEL program initiatives.

WEL is dedicated to opening conversations intended to dismantle the hurtful dialogue we observe as normative practices in our world, such as body shaming, objectification, and the verbal degradation of women, femmes, and gender non-binary individuals. We strive to shift this culture with more empathetic dialogue that promotes equity and the foundation of genuine, mutual relationships. This is why we chose to show the movie "Embrace", which follows a woman on her mission to present stories belonging to those who have not always celebrated or felt worthwhile in their bodies.

We believe that people from all walks of life are at risk when they exist in a society that is constantly showing them images--images they are expected to compare themselves to--that are not necessarily realistic and are held at greater esteem than the images that are reflective of reality. Embrace is a movie that tells us it's okay to look however we do, to have whatever body we have, to change what we want to change and not change what we don't--that this is beautiful, not just okay."

We had such a fun morning with KRQE News 13

Tip Tuesday: October is usually the time of year when we start to make the transition to some cooler weather dishes, like chili, roasts and stews. These dishes can be a great way to utilize ingredients left over in the refrigerator and pantry. This can be a low cost option! Keep in mind when planning your meals, these combination dishes can incorporate multiple food groups (starches, protein, vegetables, ect.) and are a great way to increase the variety in your daily intake. Aim to get three different foods in at each meal and two at snacks to try to meet your nutrition needs!

Happy October from us here at Dietitians ABQ! Please enjoy this tasty fall tip!

Breakfast – MYTH or FACT?
1. MYTH—Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
FACT – while eating within 1 hour of waking is recommended, all meals/snacks are equally important over the course of the day!
2. MYTH—If I eat carbohydrate at breakfast, I’ll store it as fat.
FACT– high fiber carbohydrate foods, like 100% whole grain toast, cereal, or oatmeal are great, satiating options for breakfast. After not eating for many hours while asleep, when you wake up your blood sugar (and brain) is low – that long lasting carbohydrate source at breakfast will help wake your body and brain up!
3. Including my “sweet treat” at breakfast may help reduce the after dinner sweet craving
FACT – anecdotal research has shown that for people struggling with high calorie/fat/sugar foods after dinner, including a portioned sweet treat at breakfast or morning snack, can help to reduce the likelihood of a late night craving, and may also help to reduce the portion consumed!
4. MYTH—If I want to lose weight, I should skip breakfast.
FACT—most research shows that eating a balanced, calorie appropriate meal within 1 hour of waking actually helps with weight loss. It normalizes your blood sugar levels first thing in the morning, and helps to prevent you from overeating at a later/meal snack.
