Guest guest Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm preparing a protein lecture for a community college nutrition course. There is a section in the text on nutritional genomics. I'm planning to cover the basic information.... 1. gene samples are obtained and analyzed from saliva. 2. Genetic profile is attained. 3. Specific dietary recommendations are made to force the expression of one's health promoting genes and to limit expression of unhealthy genes. Is any one working in this field? I would like to share field notes from any RDs working in this field. Anyone in the broader epigenetic field (diet + other environmental influences on gene expression) please chime in as well. Thank you. Osowski MS, RD, LD Registered Dietitian Re: [wmdpg] pleasure and intuitive eating Do you think lentils and broccoli are delicious? If not, then of course no problem. What if it were a " whole " clean food that you loved? Really loved. S Sharon Salomon, M.S., R.D.

But when it comes to whole foods - most people seem to do better. I remember back in high school when I used to eat fast food - I would never want to stop eating that stuff (even when my stomach felt full). I've never had that problem with lentils and broccoli. Had a long long discussion with another dietitian over dinner (what better time to discuss eating than while eating!) last week at FNCE about intuitive eating. We both agreed that we know when we are satisfied in our tummies (pardon the lack of jargon here but you know what I mean) and we are both in touch with our hunger signals. Neither of us considers ourselves to be " emotional " eaters-our intakes and choices do not change with our emotions. BUT when we are eating something particularly pleasurable, either because of the taste, texture or temperature, we both find it hard to stop when we know we've had enough. This is an issue that I have pondered for a long time. I don't avoid foods I like--love--but honestly when something has me in palate ecstasy it's doubtful I'll stop at an appropriate time. I could just serve myself an " appropriate " amount but that doesn't go along with intuitive eating principles. Or does it? I know I shouldn't avoid what some dietitians might refer to as a " trigger " food because my understanding of intuitive eating is that I should be able to eat all foods. Straighten me out. Help me out. But only from an intuitive eating perspective, please. Sure this is for me (and the aforementioned dietitian) but it's always an issue that I know I do not suffer alone. Practice makes perfect? Stop when I'm " satisfied " , wait a while? But I don't want to when it's so pleasurable. Therapy? I'm sure there's something there about some childhood event that makes me want to hold on to pleasure! Thanks for your insights. Sharon Sharon Salomon, M.S., R.D.
