NUTRITION TALES WITH TRACY...🤔 • A client started our nutrition appointment with, “So...I almost got an IV this weekend...not from partying, but from drinking too much celery juice.” My mouth dropped😵🆘 • I had a client (I got her permission to share her story, btw she’s now feeling FINE!!) who was drinking TONS AND TONS of celery juice A DAY - bc it’s trendy AF - and she heard it was all the rage and the most natural way to lose weight. Ignoring early signs of frequent trips to the bathroom and having diarrhea (sorry if it’s TMI but it’s the TRUTH)she thought she should go to the ER for IV fluids bc she was so weak from her bathroom escapades, lasting ~2 days. She agreed (in hindsight, of course) that she IGNORED her GI symptoms and thought they were normal because NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS OF JUICING ⚠️ SO YES, you can HAVE MAJOR DIARRHEA if you juice (anything) too much!!! ⚠️ • I make it a point to educate my clients about the unpleasant (or in this case, dangerous!) side effects of cleanses or diet programs they may be curious about so they are knowledgeable 💡 whether or not they experience side effects (some do, some don’t) at least they are AWARE 👩‍🏫 💯 • It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the headlines, from what your BFF told you or what’s trending right now in the nutrition world BUT before you try something new it’s so important to TALK THROUGH the pros + cons, risks + benefits with a *registered dietitian*, not an instafame blogger, k??? IT’S OUR JOBS to disseminate it ALL for you and to help you arrive at a safe and healthy decision‼️(it’s also our job to eat lots of snacks 😛 and tell you which ones are the best, such as the ones in the pic⬆️ #notsponsored ) • TO CONCLUDE: If you have an uncomfortable symptom that doesn’t feel right after trying a new eating pattern, diet plan or even food product...PLEASE 🛑 STOP! IS THAT A DEAL??!! ✔️ #realtalk #dietitianpatrol #bebold
It’s NATIONAL C🍪🍪KIE DAY AND my momma’s birthday 🎂 too! What a day to celebrate the sweet things in life 🥰 • Growing up my mom always put 2 Oreo cookies or 2 mallomars in my lunch box - in addition to an assortment of crunchy veggies + fruit 🍎 🥕. My mom always taught me the true balance in eating 🍽 and I have her to thank today for my voracious sweet 🎂 tooth, my affinity towards an all star combo of 🍕 and 🥗 and my love + passion for educating and informing others through the power of food 🙃 I LOVE YOU MOM, my bestie, my food pal 👯‍♀️💕#grateful #happy
The great debate...DOES ANYONE ELSE SLEEP WITH SOCKS??? Last night I was so chilly in bed and my husbands big and warm socks were within reach. I’ve been wearing them all morning and likely won’t be giving them back 🧦😝 • My clients often ask me *how to make healthy foods more interesting + less boring* • Rather than reinventing the wheel and making things more complicated and stressful (NO THANKS!), I recommend adding flavors (herbs 🌱, spices🍃, 🔥 sauces) to the foods you like❗️ • I’ve been loving scallions recently so I’ve decided to use them EVERYWHERE this morning. Scallions (and baby kale 🥬 + white 🧀) sautéed in the eggs, chive almond cream cheese with scallions on TOP! *tip* grapefruit (or 🍊 citrus) helps cut through the lingering onion taste so you won’t smell like onions for eternity☝🏻 • What do you guys use for flavoring on your foods these days??? LMK💛
3 MINUTE, 3 STEP NO SUGAR ADDED DESSERT...STRAWBERRY NUT BUTTER BITES (S.NU.B.S!) 🥜🍫🍓✔️In my world, snowy days ❄️ make me crave ALL THE SWEEEETS so I made this lil guy!!⬆️ (does anyone else see the strawberry face in there?? 👀 +👃🏻?!!) 🤣 • HOW YOU ASK??!! 1️⃣Mixed up your fave nut butter + a sh*t ton of cinnamon 2️⃣Make a hole in the 🍓tops 3️⃣fill 🍓 with mixture + add dark chocolate chips‼️ • My motto these days (and most days)...PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD, IT’S MORE FUN TO EAT 🎉
Camera 🎥 shy? Who me?? Let me tell you more... • I was really really camera shy growing up. I used to get SOOOO red and nervous when my parents put a huge 📹 video camera (similar this the emoji actually!) in my face and ask questions like “tell us what you learned in school today” or “sing us your favorite song.” I would either tell a joke or make a funny noise to drastic them from having to actually answer the question 😯 sometimes it worked. And sometimes it still works...🤪 • Having more and more opportunities to face my fear of public speaking (either on panels or during lectures, on camera *SEE ABOVE!!* or even on the podcast!) has made me more and more comfortable but it is definitely a ✔️WORK IN PROGRESS✔️ • I’ve learned...in order to grow, you have to challenge yourself even in circumstances that make you nervous, scared, uncomfortable, and sweaty!🤣 • Therefore...embrace the red in yo face. It’s your gorgeous natural blush. It makes you beautiful. It makes you human 👤💯 • Who else gets a lil camera shy??? 💁🏼‍♀️ Any useful tips welcomed!!! ♥️

CHICKPEA 🥞 PANCAKES!! In honor of National Vegan Day this week, I was inspired to play around in the kitchen with this brekkkkie. A very filling, vegan friendly + grain free breakfast that’s also v. high in protein 👆🏻 Added creamy nut butter + fruit too bc duhhhh • I am a big fan of shaking up your normal breakfast routine on the weekends but FULL DISCLOSURE, they weren’t a complete hit 😖but at least I now know (and you know too!) maybe I’m a pancake snob, but these just didn’t do the trick in my book... • Anyone else ever experiment in the kitchen👩‍🍳 and it just didn’t go as planned??#kitchenfails
