Maple Cinnamon Chili Roasted Nuts

Brooke Bulloch, Dietitian and Mom

These roasted nuts make an easy, delicious party snack with the right balance of sweet and salty. Nuts are a good source of mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin E, magnesium, protein, iron, and fibre so they are a great add-on with other snack foods, supporting more stable blood sugar levels. Easy to put together on the fly, not too spicy, and not too sweet. Bonus, the house smells amazing when they’re baking!

Pre-heat oven to 350F.

Weight Stigma is the labelling and stereotyping of

Weight Stigma is the labelling and stereotyping of individuals based on their body weight, shape or size, stemming from negative social attitudes (weight bias) that leads to prejudice and (weight) discrimination

Many factors contribute:

- Believing an individual is responsible for their body weight
- Misinformation about the pathophysiology of weight regulation
- Media/weight loss industry
- Using BMI as an individual indicator of health
- Lack of access and/or denial of screening, testing and treatments based on weight and body size
- Public health messages for weight management
- Fear-driven public health messages (“ob*sity epidemic”, children’s “ob*sity crisis”)
- Lack of laws/policies to prevent weight stigma
- Recommendations for weight control

Weight stigma has been found to contribute to chronic stress, higher blood sugars, and inflammation. It also increases the risk of depression, anxiety, body image dissatisfaction, disordered eating, sleep disturbances, etc.

Aside from the amount of misinformation and disinformation present online, the black and white messaging and fear-mongering around food, nutrition and health isn’t serving anyone.

Food fear, stress, and catastrophic thoughts are more likely to harm your health than any food alone.

Keep scrolling.

Small reminders:

- You don’t need a diagnosis to see a dietitian;
- Your food and eating differences are important and valid (despite being told they’re not);
- Boundaries (re: your body and your eating) can be important;
- Weight is an arbitrary number and you deserve dignified health care at any size;
- Your eating experiences matter to us.

“Emotional eating” vs dysregulated and disorde

“Emotional eating” vs dysregulated and disordered eating.

Eating IS emotional for most people (see our previous post). Emotional eating isn’t the problem diet culture makes it out to be. The issue when you feel like food is being used “emotionally” is dysregulation and/or disordered eating behaviours.

Helping our clients to better understand their food relationships and drivers of disordered eating behaviours can help with healing through curiosity and connectedness.

For those who identify as an “emotional eater”

For those who identify as an “emotional eater” - eating IS Emotional and should not be pathologized. Diet culture loves to make people worry and feel guilty about using food “emotionally”🙄

Consider the following:

Recipes can remind people of loved ones and favourite memories;

We gather to eat for times of celebration (e.g. birthdays) and times of sadness (e.g. funerals);

Eating often impacts pleasure centres in the brain. This triggers dopamine. Without a dopamine response, there would be zero interest in food. This response helps to keep people alive.

When people experience sadness or stress, cortisol can rise. Behaviours that can calm cortisol include: crying, physical movement, and eating carbohydrates.

It makes sense that eating can be emotional. It’s not the problem diet culture makes it out to be.
