March Madness!!
I am in the final months of my dietetic internship. If you’re not sure what that is, it’s the year of supervised practice that has to be completed by all dietitian-hopefuls before they are eligible to sit for the exam and become registered dietitians. I… View Post

Thoughts on my first week as a (clinical) dietetic...
I could not sleep on Sunday night. On Monday morning, my hair would not cooperate no matter how much I begged it to. I looked like a frump queen in my slightly-too-big scrubs. I ended up parking in the visitor’s lot because I didn’t have the pass-code for… View Post shared via WordPress.com

These corporations are currently in opposition to California’s Prop 37, which would require mandatory labeling of all GMO-containing foods if it is passed in November. There are other (agribusiness, mostly) corporations dropping dollars on this, but the… View Post shared via WordPress.com

1/3 of the way through the dietetic internship!
So, for a few days there I was posting pretty regularly, and then I got caught up in a whirlwind of graduate school stuff. However, class is over for the summer and I’ve only got a few more assignments to submit so I figured I’d let my readers know that… View Post shared via WordPress.com

The egg yolk manifesto
I love eggs. Almost every morning, I wake up bright and early and fry a couple of eggs with a little bit of salt and pepper in butter, olive oil, or coconut oil. When I sit down at the table with a cup of coffee and a plate of eggs, an overwhelming sense…

staystrongsb:
So, today someone told me I shouldn’t call my diet paleo because of the fact I eat dairy. But the paleo eating world is opening up to the idea of dairy is it not? I just find it a lot easier to say “paleo” instead of “low carb high fat.” Both diets are so similar…I don’t know, is it a big deal or should I just continue saying paleo?
