Fyi, that's the opposite of getting a degree... in anything. Keep an open mind, the point is to learn, not go in thinking you know everything.

Looking to improve your nutrition? Not ensuring you get good sleep? You are fighting an uphill battle! ↓↓↓ Just out this month! Short-term lack of sleep gets you: 1) increased hunger hormones 2) increased sweet cravings 3) increased energy intake

Realtalk RDs: On the whole, we are REALLY bad at interpreting & synthesizing research. I know, I know, "Jake, wtf, why would you say that?!?" Ignoring a problem doesn't help us progress as a profession. We need targeted approaches to improve RD training to UNDERSTAND research.

I follow EVERY PhD/RD I see on Twitter ... regardless of their area of interest/opinions. It is ALWAYS beneficial to understand the views of other quality professionals. (Even if you don't prescribe to the same dogma!) I recommend #rd2b & #students do the same. #rdchat #nutrition

I respect animals. I think being vegetarian/vegan is best to support that. I respect global warming & my carbon footprint. I think being v/v is best to support that. I am NOT vegetarian/vegan. Life's too short & I'm OK prioritizing myself. Greedy? Maybe, but I dont deny it.

Fruit will increase blood sugar in healthy people too... it's a natural response to a meal & not inherently "bad." Diabetes stems from an inability to control these normal fluctuations, but (contrary to Twitter-medicine) you DONT need to prevent blood sugar from ever increasing.

If you are an RD and you follow intuitive eating dogma, you should maybe ask yourself why PhD + RDs do NOT endorse it. It's literally just advertising partial truths to your exact demographic. Just like selling happy meals to kids. Have some self awareness & stay evidence based.

It takes a lot of mental effort to change your diet. But it gets insanely easier after repeated exposure to the new foods. Keep at it and understand it probabaly takes about 3-6 months for the transition.

I think about this patient a lot. Too often. We failed. But what were an RD intern & MD to do? This hospital had NO VIABLE APPROACH to help this man implement the ketogenic diet. That is wrong. We need MAJOR healthcare change e.g. nutrition. 4/4 #keto #rdchat #AcademicTwitter

Did you know that the 27 grams of carbohydrate in a sweet potato (53% starch) cancels any benefit of the beta-carotene (only a small % of which is converted into Vit A)? This does NOT help the immune system or improve aging!
