No, this is not another post telling you to avoid buying the food you love. This is a post about including your favorite corner store foods into your weekly grocery run. I live in the land of the "deps" aka les dépanneurs, or corner/convenience stores as they are called in the ROC... I LOVE being able to run out and grab needed food items on foot instead of jumping in the car. However, when we start to associate last minute, chaotic runs to the store before they close cause we just "can't deal" with a craving, I wonder what that may do to our relationship with those foods. If we are always eating these foods after feeling like we've broken food rules or in a moment of "weakness", I can only imagine that our relationship with these foods suffer. If we aren't keeping these foods in the house and trying to avoid them, then when we do end up eating them, we usually feel lots of guilt and shame. Rather than avoid the food (which is NOT realistic in the moderate or long term), why not try to heal your relationship with it? Part of healing could be to allow yourself to buy chocolate, chips, candy, cookies soda and anything else you enjoy eating, on your regular trips to the grocery store. It's a lot cheaper, normalizes the food and makes it available when the mood strikes. ALL OF THESE THINGS HELP TO PREVENT BINGING. Contrary to popular belief, avoiding a fod does not lead to binging on it less - it is very often the opposite reaction. What foods do you think you may start to permit yourself to buy next time you are put grocery shopping? See more

#sproutingcuriosity . If I don’t teach nutrition, how do I teach healthy eating? . First, you ARE teaching nutrition when you work with food in ANY and EVERY ca...pacity. Think CAPACITY! What knowledge do students already bring to the classroom about food? In saying that, they will most likely have a healthy versus unhealthy mindset. It’s the reality of the world we live in. It’s currency for the food industry and diet companies. . Remember that nutritionism is valuing food for its nutrients and this is the mindset we want to reframe within ourselves. There are broader mechanisms of health at play when it comes to food. . A few reminders and examples why food education as opposed to ‘nutrition education’ needs to be the centre of learning: . Children cannot see nutrition. They see food. . Eat a variety, eat more/less, moderation and balance are abstract concepts. Children are concrete learners. They like to learn through their physical senses. . Donuts are food. They’re not junk. Junk is something considered useless, rubbish or of little value. I’m sure many people have enjoyed a donut or two in their lifetime and didn’t feel like they were eating ‘junk’. . Children don’t select food based on their ‘health benefits’. Their preferences are determined from their previous food experiences and exposures. .

Is It Really Self-Sabotage? Do we really get in our own way when trying to eat more healthy? OR could it be our body's and minds protecting us from dieting that leads to failing at eating too little? http://www.custom-nutrition.com/is-it-really-self-sabotage/

#foodforthought . Teachers please don’t use this model to teach children about food. This certainly isn’t an endorsed model. It’s a tool to support adults in ...selecting foods for school canteens and organisations. . Behaviourist pedagogical approaches like this are ineffective and teacher centred. It’s void of curiosity and exploration. Using a traffic light is just another dichotomous scale. It interprets food only based on its nutrient composition and children aren’t motivated by nutrition in selecting food. They select food they’re comfortable with based on the environment provided and experiences with food. . Let’s challenge traditional top down approaches and move towards more inquisitive inquiry based ways of learning about food. #healthyeating . . . . . #nutrionist #primaryteacher #peteacher #melbourneteachers #aussieteachers #teachersdownunder #teachertalk #healthyfood #healthyteachers #teachersofinstagram #teachergram #teachersfollowteachers #teachershare #foodcurious #foodeducation #hpe #australiancurriculum #victoriancurriculum #teachertribe #teachershare #effectiveteaching #teachingandlearning #teacherpd See more
