Kansas City Dietitian Gets Lost in Translation

Kansas City Dietitian Gets Lost in Translation

When my website designer starts explaining SEO Packs to me I get confused quickly.  When my husband starts explaining medical minutia to me I quickly tune out. 

Sometimes Dietitians speak the lingo  and just assume people are on board.  I designed my Simple Diet with this problem in mind.  But, even Wonder Dietitian can sometimes make you wonder. 

I have decided to return to the Basics.  If you want to lose weight, feel better, be more beautiful and smarter (see #8 below), then this Blog is for you. 

We are going to spend some more time talking about Protein. 

  1. Protein is complex and it is broken down in the body complexily.  (I love to make up words.)
  2. Be sure to build each meal around protein.
  3. Vegetable based protein will help to stabilize blood sugar.
  4. If you are in a hurry and tempted to skip a meal choose protein over any other food item. Example:  if you are rushing out the door in the morning to your very important job, (even more important than the job you already have which is to take care of your one and only body,) and you are tempted to grab a banana or a piece of toast.  Don’t!  Stop!  Carbohydrates raise triglycerides and blood sugar which lead toward heart disease and diabetes.
  5. Instead of grabbing a carbohydrate alone, grab a hand full of raw almonds or peanuts.  Drink a glass of milk or eat a small container of greek yogurt. 
  6. Try to figure out why I numbered these points.  
  7. Review the Healthy Lean Protein List.
  8. See how many words you can make up today. 
  9. Send me the best ones that you come up with.  I will try to write a blog using only made up words.  This will be the newest Wonder Woman Challenge.

Hi, I’m Mary Kate. I love to try new foods and explore new restaurants and coffee shops, and even went on a homemade bagel-making kick this summer! My interest in nutrition started in middle school with my mom adding more veggies to our meals and making them taste interesting and fun, which sparked my interest to help her cook and learn more about how the food we eat impacts us every day. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that proper nutrition and daily fueling can have on overall health. Like many of my clients, I have faced challenges with my own gut health and hormonal changes, so I can relate to the frustrations and fatigue that come with seeking relief. Through personalized care and tailored nutrition, I discovered the keys to my health, and my goal is to help others bring their sense of vitality back!
