We made ranch dip with a seasoning packet and low fat sour cream…the chips are my favorite low fat Cape Cod😛

Most everyone indulges on vacations. Here are Five Tips to sustain your weight loss or maintenance goals on your beach Vacay!

1. Bring your favorite snacks and enjoy! Add Cut up fruit veggies, and nuts to help maintain satiety and provide nutrient dense foods. I cut up cantaloupe….it’s so yummy and refreshing 🙂
2. If you drink alcohol, watch out for the frozen fruity drinks which can add tons of extra Calories. Try using soda water with a splash of your favorite fruit juice🍹
3. Make sure you Hydrate…add lemon or other cut up fruits to your water to make it fun! I just made some ice cubes with blueberries:)
4. Try to get your steps in! Walking on the beach is great exercise:)
5. Hang out or play a sport in the water. Kicking around in the water burns more Calories than lying on the beach.
Don’t feel guilty for gaining a few extra pounds, it’s usually mostly water weight. For help with changing to a sustainable weight loss journey, contact TTL Dietitians for a free 15 minute initial consultation:)

You can make anything nutrient dense😋 I’ll show the after cooking results in comments

Food pairing is extremely effective at balancing blood sugars and hunger levels. It’s time for us to drop the mentality that nutritious eating needs to be limiting or restrictive. It actually involves us eating more and varying our intake.

Homemade taziki, cucumber tomato salad, and a chicken gyro yummmm☝️👌❤️

Tips for eating pasta if you have diabetes, would like to reach a healthier weight, or just want to make it a more nutrient dense dish…
1. Use a whole wheat or high protein pasta (ex. 100% whole wheat pasta or chickpea/lentil pasta)
2. Add meat to the pasta sauce-the added protein helps maintain lean mass and can help to balance blood sugars
3. Avoid pasta sauces with added sugars, naturally occurring sugars are fine but many sauces add them
4. Add in some veggies to the pasta sauce (carrots, onions, peppers, diced tomatoes all pair nicely). It will slow sugar absorption preventing blood sugar spikes.
5. Sprinkle cheese on top. Yes cheese! Lol! It adds extra protein to the dish and makes it more satisfying!

My neighbor made this and I had to post…it looks so good…waiting for the recipe Kalli recipe in comments

Did you know that just 15 mins of walking has a plethora of benefits for our health!?
Yes, only 15 minutes. You got this. Dedicate 15 mins to walking on days where it fits your schedule and start to feel the difference.

Happy birthday to our co-owner and favorite dietitian, Jade Abrams. Wishing her much success in the next year at TTLDietitians!

Movie night with all of the yummy foods ❤️ when you stop telling yourself “I have to eat this food” or “I can’t eat this type of food” your body will naturally guide you to a balanced diet of play foods and nutrient dense foods ✨

•you eat too much for a girl
•you’re going to eat all of that?
•wow look at that plate
•i wish I had a metabolism like that

Has anyone ever said that to you? How did this make you feel? How is this effecting your current body image/mind set around food?

•remember no one is going to know how much food your body need except for you. we can be health and nutrition conscious while also fueling our body and enjoying a variety of foods. anyone who believes otherwise needs a to schedule an appointment with us pronto lol. be mindful, be happy, enjoy your food, and most importantly shut down the food police.

Working out has so many mental and physical benefits.

For me it especially helps with my mental health. I feel like the best version of Jade when I go. Mental clarity, joy, and positive outlook are just some of the things I benefit from after working out. It’s the reason I get up and go. Find your reason and find working out a lot more enjoyable and fun.✨

•What’s your why?•

Did you know that pairing carbs with healthy fats, protein, and fiber can lower blood sugar levels. Keto, low fiber diets, starvation diets are not the solution for Type 2 or gestational diabetes. Contact us today for more info☺️ Now accepting MEDICARE ✨
