22.01.2022 I found this great blog by Dietitian Susie Burrell highlighting differences between different sugars and sweeteners. http://www.shapeme.com.au//how-to-really-slash-your-sugar/

19.01.2022 Nutrition Talk Tuesday - The topic I want to talk about this week is sugar (I thought this was appropriate with Easter just around the corner). One thing that I often get asked about is sugar. I guess because there is so much information out there regarding sugar that it can sometimes lead to a bit of confusion. In general, most people would definitely benefit from decreasing the amount of added sugar in their diet. Whether it is white sugar, brown sugar, raw sugar, refined ...sugar, honey, maple syrup, rice malt syrup and the list goes on and on. These products all sound like different things, may cost different prices, may be processed differently or are marketed differently. Although they are all similar in the fact that they are sugar. An overconsumption of sugar means that you are having more calories/kilojoules and can lead to an increase in weight. Therefore, it is best to be mindful about how much sugar is in your diet and whichever form of sugar you do decide to use, make sure you only use or eat it in small amounts. It is all about moderation! Quick note: When you are grocery shopping and looking at nutrition labels and product ingredients, be aware that there are many names for added sugars for example, sucrose, glucose, corn syrup, maltose, dextrose, raw sugar and malt just to name a few.

16.01.2022 Happy Dietitians Day to all fellow APDs and student Dietitians. Let's celebrate health & nutrition today! #dietitiansday #apd

16.01.2022 Quite regularly I get asked, "what is a Dietitian?" So I thought I would write a quick overview of what a Dietitian does and where they might work. Dietitians usually have a minimum of 4 years university training and have the qualifications and skills to provide expert nutrition and dietary advice. Dietitians understand and can translate scientific nutrition information into everyday practical advice. They are continuously updating their knowledge and training to ensure that ...all dietary advice provided is up-to-date and using the best evidence and guidelines available. Dietitians provide one on one support to individuals or group sessions with the main aim of improving health. Advice can range from healthy eating to more specific advice for the management of chronic diseases for example diabetes or heart disease. Dietitians can work in a range of different areas including consultancy and private practice, patient care in hospitals and nursing homes, community nutrition and public health, food service management (food regulatory issues, food safety and quality systems), research or teaching. Accredited Practising Dietitian is the national credential that is recognised by the Dietitians Association of Australia. Be sure to check that your Dietitian has these credentials before making your next appointment.

01.01.2022 A couple of tips to enjoy your long Easter weekend without over indulging too much. Focus on portion sizes. I know it is near impossible to avoid chocolate over Easter time, instead of avoiding it, be careful with your portion sizes. Remember 25g of chocolate, which is about 4 small chocolate squares provides around 560kJ (134cal). When you are comparing this to a piece of fruit for example a medium size banana that contains roughly 380kJ (91cal) and is more filling, you can ...see how easy it is to over indulge in chocolate which can easily lead to excess weight. Choose quality over quantity. Try and choose good quality dark chocolate over other chocolate options. Dark chocolate can be a good alternative as it is generally harder to eat a large amount of it as it is so rich in comparison to milk chocolate. Choose hollow eggs that have fewer kilojoules over filled eggs. Especially avoid crème filled eggs as these have a high kilojoule content and can be hard to stop at just one. Limit the amount of hot cross buns you have. I know they are delicious, however bakeries are coming up with all these new creations and are now making them chocolate chip and Nutella filled. Most people add butter or some kind of margarine spread to these and you could very easily be having over 1000kJ (239cal) just by having one. Treat yourself occasionally by putting chocolates away in the cupboard or freezing left over hot cross buns individually. This way the treats aren’t out and easily available to tempt you constantly. I hope these little tips might help you over the Easter weekend. Enjoy yourself and have a great Easter weekend! Remember the key is moderation.
