It's July 2021! Happy 47th Nutrition Month! 🇵🇭

For this year's theme, "Malnutrisyon patuloy na labanan, First 1000 days tutukan", the said days pertain to the first 1000 days of life of a person, specifically:

🤰 270 days of conception and pregnancy in the mother's womb;
🤱 365 days for the 1st year of life of the baby; and
👶 another 365 days for the 2nd year.

Why is the nutrition of the mother and the baby important during these days?

Studies have shown that more than that of other life stages, the quality of nutrition during these crucial days can significantly impact the health & well-being of the person up to the later years of life. That is why it is also referred to as the "golden window of opportunity"! 🌟

We're back!!!

Or should I say, "I'm back!" 😄

(Long post ahead)

Hi there, healthy hustler! 👋

Yes, it has been weeks, months even, that I barely did post any content. I just shared a few stories here and there. I had some clients who got their consultations while some are inquiring.

It has been challenging for me because in pursuing this brand, I need to handle all the aspects - Marketing, Administrative, Finance, Technical Knowledge or the Nutrition itself, & so on. (Excited talaga ako kung paano pa ako matutulungan ng soon-to-launch app na NutriCoach.) 😊 On top of these, I got a side hustle to which I adjusted for a while. ✊

Anyway, I wanted to share with you how I have been baking the name of this brand. To those who have been following me for a while now, you know that I call my brand as "AMCO, RND" which is basically the initials of my full name and the suffix of my profession. That is, Alyssa Marie C. Odiada, Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian. ✨ However, to some people, it is hard to remember, and to me, it barely puts the message across unfamiliar ears and it doesn't fit much the logo.

Back to the name, I finally decided to change it to "A.O. Dietetics - Diet & Nutrition Consultations" while still keeping my handle .rnd The name so far encompasses the limitless visions I have for this brand - visions I hope to make reality one step at a time. 👣

Thank you for reading up to this point and for being with me on this journey! I'm here again reminding you to always find the balance between hustle and self-care!

'Til next time, healthy hustler! 😊

Converging healthcare & self-care through nutrition,
Alyssa

To cap this Women's Month, thank you so much, UPLB Delta Lambda Sigma, for featuring AMCO, RND!

✨ EMPOWER: Women at the height of COVID-19 crisis ✨

Indeed, whoever and wherever we are, we can empower and be femme-powered!

I'm Alyssa and I'm a registered nutritionist-dietitian. Right now, I have my private practice as a nutrition coach for teens and young adults who want to lose weight through an individualized, evidence-based diet plan and lifestyle advice.

As a nutrition coach, I help my clients start their healthy eating lifestyle with concrete diet and lifestyle advice tailor fit for them. I always assess their unique nutritional & medical condition. With the thorough assessment, I curate their sample meal plans and provide 1-1 nutrition coaching.

To anyone out there, let your voice be heard. Being a dietitian is not very recognized by most Filipinos, as much as other professions are. However, don't let anything or anyone stop you from radiating your passion for food and nutrition. After all, everyone deserves good nutrition and health!

Sometimes, we may think that if we are not in our ideal body weight, we are less than others, or there is something wrong with us.

BUT, NO!

There is so much more to health than our weight!

Nerdly speaking, 🤓 our body weight is mainly composed of the weight of our:
✅Bones
✅Water
✅Fat
✅Muscle & other body organs.

Yes, it's not all excess fat, friend!

Plus, our weight cannot define our:
✨Relationship with Food
✨Psychological Body Image
✨Workout Performace
✨Mental Clarity and Sharpness
✨And also, Character! 💛

So whether you are or are not yet on your goal weight, you are worthy, capable, and beautiful!

Pursue health holistically because you love yourself enough to get what you deserve! ✨

It's 2021!

May this be the year that we finally UNLEARN the "diet culture" which told you to:

❌Starve yourself and chug water just to get away with the hunger; 🥲💧
❌Rely on overly priced "Meal Replacements" only to catch yourself stopping one day, because you realized that you no longer have budget for it, 💸 and;
❌Trust "Detox Juice Plans", when in fact, your healthy kidneys and liver as your major detoxification organs can do their job efficiently.

It's time to finally do it right and RELEARN that:

✔️There is really NO quickfix!
✔️Eating healthy does NOT need to be expensive, and;
✔️Nothing's more liberating than improving your own eating lifestyle for a healthier YOU now 'til old age!

What are you waiting for? Bid goodbye to those "diets" and embrace your healthy lifestyle the right way!

You have read that right!

There are so many diets that we can see online, but are they really sustainable in the long run? Are the results for keeps?

Hot tip: Do it the right way - the evidence-based way. ✨

Self-care is always key!

Trying to lose weight DOES NOT mean...

❌you can't eat your favorite foods
❌you can't eat anything at all
❌you should hate yourself

It means...
✔️starting with the right reason and mindset
✔️giving your body its well-deserved nourishment
✔️loving yourself at whatever body size (your current and your goal one)
