Thoughts about my Apple Watch (applicable to any f Thoughts about my Apple Watch (applicable to any fitness tracker): 

I have been using an Apple Watch for the past year. For the most part, I love it, it motivates me, and I enjoy seeing my activity stats. I have always had a positive relationship with exercise - I like to move often because it makes me feel good, but am not hard on myself when I don't. It is known that fitness trackers can create a disordered relationship with exercise, and I see firsthand how this can be true. I walk for a certain distance, even if I want to stop sooner, to achieve a goal on my watch. I get stressed when a workout includes multiple types of exercise and I don't know how to record it properly. I get annoyed when I am at a stop light or walking the dog and my watch thinks that my pace is slower. I care more about calories burned now that I see them being tracked. 

This week, I was doing an exercise video. I paused the workout on my watch to get water and then started the ab section. After a few minutes, I realized that I didn't restart my watch. And then I started to think... 'should I redo this section so it’s recorded?' 'Now I won’t hit my move goal of 30 minutes’. ‘Should I do another quick video to make up for it?’ Lost in these thoughts, I continued with my workout without paying much attention to what I was doing. Naturally, this negatively impacted the quality (and enjoyment) of my workout, which means so much more than the fact that a few minutes weren't accounted for on my watch. 

You move your body for your own health, not for your device. You get physically and mentally stronger with consistent exercise, and tracking doesn’t change that. There are ways to 'cheat' your activity stats, but that’s not making you fitter. Any amount of movement is beneficial regardless of what your exercise rings say. 

If you wear a fitness tracker and this is resonating with you, it can be a good time to reflect on your relationship with exercise and your device. Is it serving you more than it is hurting you? See what it feels like to move your body without your watch on and note any differences. Set boundaries around how often you use it and what you plan to use it for.

No one: Me: okay fineeeee I’ll bring a charcute No one:

Me: okay fineeeee I’ll bring a charcuterie board to the chill. 

(Post inspired by my friends for (rightfully) making fun of me for complaining that I put all this money and time into making a board, but the meat & cheese gets sweaty before people finish it, yet no one asked me to make a board in the first place 🤣).

New fave appetizer alert 🚨: Roasted Feta with Z New fave appetizer alert 🚨: Roasted Feta with Za’atar Pita Chips! 

Feta recipe is by @nytcooking (search: roasted feta with honey). 

Pita chips:
Brush a pita bread with olive oil and sprinkle with Za’atar seasoning (or you can use a blend of thyme, sumac and sesame seeds for a similar flavour). Bake in the oven at 400F for a few minutes, until pita is warm and golden brown. 

So so so yummy and easy! 💯💯💯 #nutritiousniks
This ranty post is inspired by the 75 year old pa This ranty post is inspired by the 75 year old patient I just spoke with who begged me to grant her permission to eat 1/2 a peach a week, despite the fact that 'Dr. Poon's Metabolic Diet Program' does not allow this. 🤬🤬🤬

PLEASE hear me out. No matter what your health goals are, if you have a health condition or if you're struggling to lose weight, fruit CAN and absolutely SHOULD be part of your diet!!! There is not one good piece of evidence to suggest otherwise. 

Yes, fruit has sugar. Fruit also has fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and water, for a small amount of calories (and they taste amazing)! I will never understand why sweeteners or sugar alcohols are considered to be a 'better choice' according to low carb diets and quacky influencers, than the naturally occuring sugar in fruit. And what bothers me to my core, is the amount of guilt people feel for eating a god damn banana, feeling like it's just as 'bad' as eating a donut, because that's what social media has led us to believe. Also, to address the misconstrued topic of insulin, you wouldn't be a functioning human being if your blood sugar and insulin levels didn't naturally fluctuate throughout the day - this is not a bad thing, it is basic physiology - but we know all too well how science isn’t resonating with people these days…. 🙄🙄🙄

This post is not to invalidate all of the people finding great success on a low carb diet- that is awesome for you! I just want to highlight the dangerous misinformation surrounding a food group that is repeatedly included in the patterns of eating that have the most evidence to support good health outcomes. 

There are situations where there would be specific recommendations around fruit (e.g kidney disease, diabetes, IBS, etc), but this is where an individual approach is so important! Overall, there are such bigger fish to fry in one's lifestyle that may be impacting health outcomes - it rarely is the fruit that is the issue! 

To conclude, I said to this lady: "you enjoy a whole peach everyday if you want to- and make sure you do it now before peach season is over!!" 🍑🍑🍑

Absolutely nothing better 🥰 Absolutely nothing better 🥰
A Monday off calls for an epic brunch at home ft. A Monday off calls for an epic brunch at home ft. lemon ricotta blueberry pancakes 🍋🫐🥞. My favourite pancake mix is @flourishpancakes (buttermilk) because it’s high in protein & fibre and low in sugar, which really helps eliminate that typical post pancake stack sugar crash. I added ricotta, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla into the mix and then blueberries once in the pan. Topped with more ricotta, zest, berries and maple syrup 👌🏼👌🏼#nutritiousniks #pancakestack
