Re: Feeling full longer- RDs who cook

[Guest guest]

Adding to your thoughts....

I think " out " are fancy exotic 20+ ingredient labor intensive recipes.

" In " are simple unprocessed meals.

If we preach " limit processed foods " we have to teach how to cook the basics.

that is why *I* believe that it's important to have cooking skills being a

dietitian. To make the actual meal time fun by doing different activities -

games, best thing of the day, special plates/glasses/placemats, give positive

thoughts to each food that is eaten, etc.

up with food you will not have such the need to only do it physically. For

example, how many times have you sat down to eat a meal and before you know it,

it's over and you don't even remember what the food tasted like? I know I have

done it before. And what ends up happening later in the night... not physically

hungry but I want food.
