I'd love to eat at your table, and invite others to join us. I remember some specific comments on my lunch while working as a clinical RD. Coconut cream pie one time, a milkshake and fries another. The comment was the same, "I can't believe you are eating that!" My response? "And I am enjoying every bite too!" Welomce back to posting, I have missed your honesty and thoughtfullness.

Great post. It's become almost extreme how srewed up we are in terms of the common sense of food. When all the contradictions and marketing is pulled apart the truth is that real food tastes great and is good for you, it will keep you on a path of health and pleausure. Every taste sensation and desire can be satisfied with food that comes from nature. Food is about what we eat and what's in our head but diets, calorie counting, slimming medications and restriction are part of the problem. Kerry B Hi Julie,

Most people who struggle with their weight believe they need to get "in control" when in actuality it is more about being "in charge." This confusion is so rampant that I finally developed a quiz to help people determine whether they tend to follow an instinctive eating cycle, an overeating cycle, a restrictive eating cycle, or an eat-repent-repeat cycle (a combination of the last two): http://www.amihungry.com/quiz.shtml.

I totally agree with you, especially this sentence: "the unspoken pervasive misconception is that healthy eating means you must sacrifice flavor and enjoyment of your food." People don't believe that I, a dietitian, eat dessert (and other less healthy foods) -- until they eat with me! It's about time people realized dietitians are "real" people toO! Great post!

As a dietitian in a small city, I often run into clients at the grocery store. As I try to avoid looking at their cart, I see them peeking into mine, curious about what I am buying. Sometimes it's a tiny bit embarrassing, as I stock of for the family camping trip or holiday party. S'mores, chips or a bottle of Moxie, anyone? Hey Julie, great topic!

My clients always are so relieved when they learn RDs don't always eat low calorie, low fat, etc, and are healthy, too. Giving ourselves permission to eat foods we like in a way that makes us feel well is so important to eating well long term. Yay for feeling great while enjoying great food! Great post, Julie.
