I’m telling you, I accidentally had a job at a restaurant last year and I am a stickler for nutritious food so I promised myself I would never eat anything from that restaurant but a weak moment I ate a delicious mozzarella stick and within 30 minutes I felt markedly unwell. I suddenly felt gross and lazy and slow and apathetic just like everyone else around me, But they go their entire lives living this way because they eat food like this all the time and they don’t realize what it’s doing to them because they think it’s normal. This happened to me a few times over that year and there is no doubt in my mind that fried foods make people feel unwell. And I wouldn’t have noticed it if I weren’t always normally an extremely strict healthy eater.
I’m a retired woman, not a boy, and I was traveling and got stranded in a one-restaurant-town for a minute. They hired me as bartender because they declared I was attractive and good for drawing in customers 🤷🏻♀️
“Nutritionist” isn’t a protected term. Anyone can call themselves one. I am also a nutritionist btw and I say you should eat a diet of exclusively mozza sticks.
I did not say I was a nutritionist. I said “my nutritionist brain.” For a person to claim being a Nutritionist, they need a four-year Nutritionist degree
I am however CERTIFIED in nutrition. I took a shit-ton of college classes and earned a certificate in exercise physiology and nutrition.
I studied nutrition not only in school sitting at a desk, reading books, listening to lectures, doing projects, writing papers, and passing tests, but for 2 decades as a passion outside of school, I learned it, I loved it, and I live it.
Off the top of my head I can tell you which nutrients the human body needs (there are 27 micronutrients including vitamins and minerals like vitamin d, zinc, B12, calcium, etc.), WHICH FOODS HAVE THOSE NUTRIENTS IN THEM, and which foods are ideal for that purpose, vs which foods have little-to-no nutritional value therefore should be avoided if you want to feel your best. I can tell you how many calories a person needs to survive every day based on their varied levels of activity & their own unique body composition, I can tell you how many calories are in a gram of fat, how many calories are in a gram of protein, and how many calories are in a gram of carbohydrate, wherein fat, protein, and carbohydrate are the three macronutrients, and what the significance of all that is.
And if I tell you any more, you’re going to have to pay me, because I’m still paying off my college loans $63,000 after learning & living & preaching all this shit.
I feel terrible constantly to be fair, but at least the food is yummy.
(In all seriousness I am trying to eat healthier and generally be kinder to my body and my health but I also have terrible impulse control and really like some really unhealthy food)
You sound like you’d be really fun at parties.
You sound like you eat junk food and you don’t realize how unwell you feel.
Not only do you sound fun at parties but also like one of those cult/health guru nuts that actually cause harm to people with their “all air diet”
Sounds like you’ve never heard the phrase “Everything in moderation”.

I thought you were a nutritionist, not a bus boy?

I mean no offense - what’s the difference between being certified in nutrition and being a nutritionist?
