Procrastination can be a wonderful thing!
So much work to do.
New website content.
Washing piling up.
Family admin emails.

Do I do any of it?
No.
It’s raining.
I don’t feel like working.
Or doing anything useful.
So
I bake bread.
And cookies….

It’s always nice to have positive feedback although I don’t often think to share it! My clients are of all ages and for most the road to ‘happy eating’ is complex. It is lovely to see how far they come in our sessions. I will tell you more later in the week but right now this Dietitian is hungry. Pizza in the oven and a glass of rose poured. What are you having for dinner?

So I am on a mission to post regularly again! Life just gets in the way sometimes doesn’t it? Anyway what better way to kick start my social media presence than with this pic of cute babies who are learning to be . They were obviously taking it all in during the recent online workshop I ran for their parents. I feel strongly that the transition to solids needs to be positive and as stress free as it can be snd I love to empower parents to follow their instinct rather than a book when it comes to feeding their kids.
The only down side to a workshop being online is no baby-cuddles for me. Although as baby M on the left is my cousin’s daughter I am hoping I get to see her in person soon!

Happy Eaters is not currently running cooking courses but I thought you might like to see Lola cook for Edie, Luis and Halle who all came to my after school classes. Very impressed Lola!

I am concentrating on 1-2-1 consultations at the moment (mainly picky eating, disordered eating and other nutrition nutritional issues in adults and kids) but I may be back to do some smaller bespoke classes when this covid business is over and I have a kitchen!

So I am determined to post more - so starting with one of my fav photos. Titled either ‘plate models’ - a pun on the use of plate models in health education, or ‘Maggie’s girls’ after our late course leader Maggie Sanderson.

Happy days as young student dietitians!

Update!
Happy Eaters has had a slight change of direction! I am not currently running any cooking courses or parties - partly due to Covid and also as my premises is being renovated.

I will be concentrating on private 1-2-1 consultations focusing on clinical areas of Nutrition such as diabetes, cancer (oncology) cholesterol, IBS fussy eating and disordered eating, along with family nutrition.
I have a particular interest in restrictive eating for those who are autistic, have ADHD, learning disabilities and mental health issues.

Confused about different nutrition qualifications? Read this! I am a Registered Dietitian which is a protected title and also a Registered Nutritionist(public health) . This means I meet the criteria to be employed by the NHS to give dietary advice and have to follow a code of conduct.

Are dietitians and nutritionists the same thing? And if not, what is the difference between a dietitian, a nutritionist and a nutritional therapists?

Twitter isn't all bad!

Don’t let the fact that this is in the mail put you off. Eve Simmons talks lots of sense about food and health in relation to eating disorders

Boris Johnson's personal health scare is partly behind the sudden push - in July, the Prime Minister blamed his severe Covid-19 illness, which put him into intensive care, on being 'too fat'.

Very moving. Do read it.

Agree. And not to mention the harm having calories on restaurant menus will do to those who are vulnerable to or have disordered eating or eating disorders.
