With all the bullshit and pseudoscience that floats around the internet, here are some things I'd love you to know... 🍃 1. No, your body does not need help to regulate it's pH. It's fully capable of doing that (otherwise, you'd be dead). Sad but true. . 🍃 2. Lemon water doesn't detox your body. It does corrode you teeth. Skip it. Drink water. It’s very ‘detoxing’. . 🍃 3. Carbs aren't fattening. Eat legumes, whole grains, fruit... enjoy them, guilt free. Life is better without deprivation. . 🍃 4. You don't need to avoid gluten unless you’re allergic or intolerant. Most gluten-free food is less healthy. . 🍃 5. There are no 'bad' fruit. Enjoy all fruits, regardless of their sugar content. 1-2 a day. Fruit is ideal when you want something sweet. Deprive yourself of basic things like fruit, and you may find you over eat on sweets. . 🍃 6. All exercise is good for you. The healthiest exercise is the type you enjoy because consistency is much better than perfection. . 🍃 7. You don't need to cleanse your body. Save the $300 you’d spend on a detox and do a cooking class instead. You can’t live a full life on an empty stomach. . 🍃 8. Chances are, you don't need to eat more protein. Powdered protein is not real food, no matter what it’s made from. They make your farts seriously smelly and it's expensive. Skip the supplements. Eat food. 🍃 9. There are no 'fat-burning' foods. Eat when you are hungry, eat more vegetables, snack on fruit and create a healthy relationship with food. Way more effective... 🍃 10. You don't need to look good in a crop top or shorts to be healthy. Swap weight loss goals for real health goals. 🍃 So, are there any burning myths you'd love me to busy? I'm looking for inspiration about what to share. Please leave a comment and tell me 🤗 xxx

I recently got naked with a room full of Germans. I know what you’re thinking. No, it’s not why I’m called The Nude Nutritionist... but the experience changed me. 🙌 In a really positive way . I wrote a long and juicy blog post all about what the experience taught me. Go to my blog www.lyndicohen.com or visit my Instagram profile and click on the link there.... P.s. I love this photo of my cellu-lit 🔥 by @lucaprodigo_ph
Dear wellness world, Please stop giving people eating disorders and pretending it’s for their wellbeing. It’s not... and what you’re selling and promoting is dangerous. . For the rest of us, let us question: ⠀⠀⠀⠀ We have a 'healthy' body ideal that is incredibly unhealthy for most people to achieve and maintain, requiring obsessive exercise and disordered eating. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It may well be the reason you find it so hard to maintain your 'perfect diet' or 'perfect weight'. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not all people who diet will get an eating disorder but almost everyone who gets an eating disorder starts with a diet.⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's an idea. It's not OK to give a fat person advice on how to lose weight if we wouldn't give that same advice to someone with an eating disorder - otherwise, aren't we just giving people eating disorder advice? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Most people with eating disorders go unnoticed, undiagnosed + untreated because they 'don't look like they have an eating disorder'. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I had an eating disorder for 10 years. I wasn't thin enough for people to realise so they kept giving me diet and weight loss advice - which fed my eating disorder. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can't know if someone has an eating disorder by looking at them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's stop giving people eating disorders. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's stop idealising a body ideal that requires unhealthy extreme habits to attain.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let's advocate for real health. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It may not look as perfect - but we'll all be a lot healthier and feel a whole lot better about ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #eatingdisorders #dietssuck #realhealth #dietitian #HCP #idealbody #ED #stopdieting #nutritionist #wellness #wellness #timeforchange
BODY BULLYING: When I was in year 7, two boys from school called my house phone (remember when people still had landlines?) When I answered, they started giggling in the receiver and chanting ‘fatty’, ‘fatty'...again and again. I recognised their voices. I knew who it was. They were laughing on the other side of the phone. I was not. . Calmly (although I’m not sure how I was calm), I walked over to my dad who was home from work early, handed him the phone, signalling for him to be quiet and listen. He put the phone to his ear and heard the chant and sniggers. After 10 seconds of listening, he erupted into the phone and scared the two bullies. . The school was called. The boys’ parents were called. Some action was taken but still, I had to turn up each day to school and face them. I couldn't forget that it happened. . . I’m telling you this story because: . a) Shame only exists in the dark and I don’t believe I deserve to feel shame around this story. Sadly, this experience (and many others) contributed to me developing an eating disorder a few years later. And perhaps this is why I do the work that I do. . b) Boys struggle with body image issues, too. Both these boys had their own body image issues. Thing is: People tend to judge you on the very things they are self-conscious over. . c). I’d like to like in a world where we raise more body confident kids. . For parents/teachers/families - I've written a blog post about raising kids to have a healthy relationship with food (link in my bio) or www.lyndicohen.com! . How you talk about your body in front of kids matters. But what matters just as much is how you talk about other people's bodies. . Resist the temptation to comment on how the newsreader has gained weight or how Shelley your old school friend has 'let herself go'. . Let’s raise kids who know that it’s never okay to bully someone -by leading by example. Don't be a bully to yourself or others. Talk kindly about other people and their bodies. And of course, talk kindly about yourself and your body, too. ❤️ Photo:@lucaprodigo_ph
