22.01.2022 Mealtimes with children can be frustrating at times for most parents. In our house we serve most of our dinners on platters and in bowls and let them choose what they want to eat and how much they want to eat, the can always come back for more. Involving children in the preparation and serving of food promotes healthy eating behaviours. Healthy Eating behaviours that are established at a young age can continue into adulthood. This is Silas, he is 10 years old and he’s my ‘fussy eater’, but he knows what he likes and he has the freedom to choose, which makes mealtimes so much more enjoyable for all of us! A healthy eating environment should be calm and relaxed. #mindfuleating #dietitiansofinstagram #dietitian #goodfoodforfamilies #dietitianapproved

16.01.2022 Spending so much more time at home can make it easy to fall into some ‘not-so-mindful’ eating patterns. So I thought I’d share some easy ways to practice mindful eating (in no particular order)... * Eat food that nourishing your body - Choose plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole-grains, lean meats and/or alternative, dairy foods and/or alternatives. * Don’t rush -take time to chew each mouthful. Pause & put down your cutlery between each mouthful. Take the time to savour each... mouthful and appreciate the flavours and textures. Re-evaluate your hunger/fullness levels. * Focus on your food - put away your phone, switch off the TV. Give your food & your company the attention they deserve. * Eat with intention - eating because you are bored or emotional can lead to over-eating and poor eating behaviours. Think before you eat. * Listen to you body- Are you hungry? Are you energy levels low? Is you tummy rumbling? Learn to recognise hunger and fullness cues. * Consider where your food comes from- Think about the journey the food took to finally arrive on your plate. Feelings of gratitude & appreciation can add enjoyment to your meal. * Sit at the table - Give yourself and your body a chance to slow down. Start with one meal a week, plan the meal carefully, choose a time that is least stressful and practice one or all of the techniques above. #mindfuleatingtips #mindfuleating #aghe #dietitian #dietitiansofinstagram See more

11.01.2022 When you make burgers & chips from scratch! These wholegrain buttermilk buns were amazing and no more difficult than regular bread/dough. I’m probably retiring before my career begins cause I’m gunna open a burger shop! A positive about this situation is I’m using the food that I have at home! That means I’m being more creative in the kitchen and less food is going to waste!#goodfoodforfamilies #dietitianlife #foodwasteisacrime #5servesaday #cookinginacrisis Recipe to follow in comments.

10.01.2022 Have you gone vegan? Are you getting enough Vitamin B12, calcium, iron & iodine? Professor Clare Collins talks what can happen if you don't get enough and how to ensure you do.

08.01.2022 2020 was going to be my year! After 5 years of juggling family, uni, work and placement I was ready to kick off my new career as a dietitian! I was carefully and purposely laying the foundations for my dream job. I knew what I wanted & I knew what I needed to do to get there. I had a job I loved, which meant I didn’t need to rush into something I didn’t want to do. Today I was faced with the realisation that I may not be able to access the food I need to feed my family, it’s ...not about the money (my husband is an essential worker), but the actual fact that some foods are unavailable and most food items are being restricted (2 per customer). My whole adult life I have eaten the foods that I have chosen, while putting a whole lot of restrictions on myself, but when all control is removed, it is literally terrifying. I going to try to share some tips and kitchen tricks to help us all get through this together. #coronavirus #foodsecurity #disorderedeating #foodforfamilies See more

07.01.2022 I’ve been asked several times in the last few days what items should we be stocking up on? There is no simple answer but I’ve come up with my top 5 tips for preparing your pantry for lockdown. In no particular order! 1. Don’t buy foods you wouldn’t normally buy. If your family doesn’t like/eat canned beans, don’t buy them, spend your money on foods you know your family will eat and enjoy. 2. Eat the fresh food first and replenish where you can. No point in buying up tinned fo...ods if you have fresh veggies going mouldy in your crisper! 3. Look for fruit and vege that will last the distance. Apples and pears will give you more time than strawberries or bananas! Potato will be good a lot longer than broccoli or beans! 4. Plan!! Main meals and snacks! Talk to your kids/partner about what you have planned and for when. 5. Remember your basic food safety, the last thing anyone needs right now is food poisoning! Wash your hands, check use by dates and avoid cross contamination! See more
