Somehow fruit has become controversial 😩

The evidence is clear: fruit supports our health in many ways.

Fruit isn’t the problem, misinformation is.

You’re not imagining it!

The protein hype and marketing is next level at the moment 🤯

Yes it’s an important nutrient, but it shouldn’t be obsessed over at the expense of other nutrients and your overall wellbeing.

As usual with nutrition, the truth lies in the nuanced middle rather than the extreme messages ✌️

If you want individualised advice about protein, your overall diet or your relationship with food don’t hesitate to send me a DM or fill in the enquiry form in my bio.

The idea that everyone needs to avoid emulsifiers is a big oversimplification that’s causing a lot of unnecessary food anxiety at the moment.

If you have Crohn’s disease, reducing emulsifiers can be something to try with support from your Dietitian - but it isn’t a standard treatment recommendation and doesn’t work for everyone. Check out the article .with.b wore about this recently for more info if you have IBD.

Remember that protecting your relationship with food is a crucial part of your overall wellbeing, so if you’re becoming obsessed with avoiding emulsifiers reflect on how helpful this is for you.

Nutrition feels like a minefield for many people with IBD at the moment.

So many are understandably really anxious about UPFs in particular.

So I was delighted to team up with .with.b to set the record straight on the current evidence & advice on UPFs & IBD.

Check out her full article on this topic on her website www.nutritionwithb.com for more information.

I also have lots of articles related to UPFs on dieteticallyspeaking.com including my evidence-based review “Unpacking Ultra-Processed Food”.

Please share this with anyone you know with IBD ❤️

Easter can be tricky when you struggle with food…

There can be so much cha about “treats”, “being bad” and “eating crap” which is so triggering.

If you struggle this time of year, know that you’re not alone and I hope you find the tips and reminders in this post helpful ❤️

And if you’re looking for support to make peace with food just send me a DM or enquire about a free call via the link in my bio.

Come for a nosy around my kitchen 👀

Of course there are plenty of non-UPFs in out kitchen too, but the point of this is to show you that there are plenty of nutritious UPFs and that all foods fit in a balanced & flexible diet 🍴

Fearing UPFs only makes most people obsess about them more, when it’s a broad and vague classification of food anyway.

If you’re struggling with fear of UPFs or food anxiety in general and want support this, me and my team of Specialist Dietitians are here for you. You can find information about our 1:1 support linked in my bio, or send me a DM if you have any questions 😊

TLDR: UPFs are not the same as ci******es! 🚬

These are fundamentally different, and I don’t think it’s at all helpful to conflate these 🙅🏻‍♀️

I’d love to hear what you think about this in the comments! ⬇️

Yuka App PSA 🚨

Just a few examples of the worrying advice I’ve seen and heard about on the app 😫

Food is more than numbers, scores, or single ingredients.

If you’re using apps like this, ask yourself whether they’re actually helping or just adding more stress and anxiety ❤️
