When you tell folks you're cutting carbs #lchf #rdchat

10+ years as a clinical #dietitian and last week I was still introduced as “the person who gets us the early meal trays when we need them.” 😒 So much work to do, still. #WhatRDsDo #RDChat

Yo. Intuitive eating is much more than eating when you’re hungry and stopping when your full. A thread…

It’s eating when you feel like you’ve already “had too much” that day but you’re hungry a few hours later.

You can eat for many reasons and none of them are wrong. #dietculture #RDchat

I never imagined that when I became a #dietitian that part of my job would be trying to convince people that coffee enemas and drinking bleach is bad for them. Or, that drinking cow milk is not the same as drinking pus. #RDchat #dietitianslife #FactsnotFear

Shoutout to the personal trainer who prescribed 270 g (2.7 g/kg) protein per day to a client with CKD Stage 3a 👀 #RDChat (and that doesn’t include all the supplements they are taking!). Tell me again how RDs are useless 🧐

Lab mate (non nutrition) showed me the dietitian she's seeing's professional page. $200-300 "functional" lab tests to guide your personalized nutrition assessment and plan. None are valid markers of nutrient status or shown to help improve nutrition outcomes. #RDchat

We recently secured some hours for a Digital Dietitian 💻 We wanted to know if this is something any other trust has? Would love to hear how it’s been going 😄 #whatdietitiansdo #RDchat @BDA_Dietitians @NHSDigital

It is absolutely absurd and infuriating that Dietitians don't get any kind of ED training in school. More than anyone else, we should be prepared to screen for ED's and at least know generally what not to do for a patient with ED history. #rdchat

#rdchat Person refers to you as a "nutritionalist" ....reaction in gif only

Saying a pt w/ BMI >30 doesn’t need to be fed bc they have “extra storage” is a form of discrimination & results in poor outcomes for those pts. Please feed your patients equitably. #RDChat #ICUNutrition #WhatRDsDo

A big thank you to @AARP for the opportunity to chat about canned/tinned fish 🐟 for older adults with some cool folks Christine Rosenbloom and fellow Seattlelite @JSimonRD @eatrightPRO #eatright #rdchat #nutrition

The Integrative and Functional dietitians on IG are posting recipes for raw carrots to 'detox excess estrogen' for supposed health purposes and I'm ready to hit backspace after my credentials a couple times #RDchat

Losing Weight Long-Term 3 question/answers that will help: Q: Must I stop eating doughnuts? A: No, but eat them less. Q: Must I only eat veggies? A: No, but eat them more. Q: Must I hit the gym? A: No, but find something you enjoy that makes you move. #rdchat #TuesdayThoughts

Did it hurt? When the RD exam asked you nothing about biochemistry or parenteral nutrition but had multiple questions on kitchen regulations & pan sizes. #RDchat

@Botanygeek @elizabeth_pezon @JoannaBlythman Don’t take nutrition advice from a food writer folks. This is embarrassing. #rdchat #agchat

The the average age of an eating disorder is 12.5 years old. Which is why promoting weight loss, counting calories, macros, or over exercise around children and adolescents is HARMFUL. Early and appropriate screening may save a life. #EDawareness #RDchat

Met a 88yo Renal PD pt on a critical care unit today. First thing he said: “please don’t take anything else away from me” 💔 I said, “Sir, my job is to make sure you can eat & find foods that you can enjoy.” He broke my heart! 😢 #WhatDietitiansDo #RDchat #ClinicalNutrition

Hi @MayoClinic, this video is so absurd that I blogged about it: Please RT until it's taken down. #rdchat #rd2be

A whole-food diet rich in fruits, vegetables is powerful medicine. Download Mayo Clinic app for #healthyliving tips.

They're not gonna get much media coverage/credit but please know that there are a huge number of Dietitians out there doing an insane amount of work right now to make sure kids across the country are still getting fed nutritious meals 👏👏👏#RDchat #publichealth #COVID19

Before tearing down another professional on social media, or resorting to name-calling and false accusations, ask yourself: Would I address this individual in the same manner in real life? Thought-provoking debate can be civil, even in the Twitterverse. #RDchat #civility #becool
