Common Nutrition Mistakes and Tangible S...

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

Ep 212: Allison and Ceara continue their 'How to Thrive in 2025' series. We discuss common nutrition mistakes, sharing personal experiences and insights on dietary trends, the importance of protein, and the challenges of maintaining a balanced diet.We emphasize the individuality of nutrition and the impact of lifestyle choices on health, while also addressing the complexities and misconceptions surrounding various diets. 

The conversation focuses on the relationship between eating habits, meal preparation, the importance of understanding individual satiation styles and the goal of consistency instead of perfection in dietary choices. We discuss the significance of whole foods, protein, fiber, and hydration. The conversation also highlights the pitfalls of an all-or-nothing mindset and the benefits of simplifying meal preparation techniques to support healthy eating habits.


TAKEAWAYS:

  • Following dietary trends can lead to confusion and mistakes.
  • Women often underestimate their protein needs due to societal norms.
  • Convenience can sometimes lead to unhealthy eating choices.
  • Whole foods are a sustainable approach to nutrition.
  • Eating out doesn't always have to mean unhealthy choices.
  • Avoid justifying unhealthy choices everytime just because you're eating out.
  • How to understand your eating style, cravings and satiations. 
  • Consistency in healthy eating is more important than perfection.
  • Allow yourself flexibility in your diet to avoid feelings of deprivation.
  • Be kind to yourself as you navigate your nutrition journey.
