What determines how much weight you lose (or maintain at) with intuitive eating? 🤔 I know a lot of intuitive eating coaches, bloggers, etc. say that nothing we do can really influence the weight we “naturally” maintain at when eating intuitively… but based on the research, I disagree! 👩‍🔬

Some foods can help with depression, anxiety & bad moods ⛈ Studies suggest that eating more of the amino acid tryptophan can raise serotonin levels in your brain—which is the same neurotransmitter that antidepressants raise 💊⬆️

The Mediterranean diet is just a half-assed wfpb diet: a science-supported rant. 😂(skip to 2nd paragraph for cool study findings 👇)

If you’re on a plant-based diet, your chances of getting COVID and having symptoms are MUCH lower, according to a new study that came out this week 🌱 They also looked at how low-carb/high-protein diets affect COVID severity, with some really interesting results (swipe for shareables… made a short version, and a more data-oriented one!) 👉

Easy + creamy tofu & pea curry, aka veganized Matar paneer 🤤 (recipe is #wfpb & instant pot-able too!) Tbh I’m generally not a big fan of peas but for whatever reason they are AMAZING in this! This curry has all the comforting creaminess of the authentic Indian version but without the oil, cheese or cream. Just veggies, tofu & cashews, and a few spices 🥰 and bonus, it’s high protein! 💪

No need to compare yourself to others, because your only competition is yourself! 🏅A big example in my life: after 6 years of lifting, I still lift less weight than most women can BEFORE they start weight lifting 😂 I have a connective tissue disorder so I’ll probably never be able to lift much (according to the doctor), but I never let that bother me or stop me from wanting to lift! 🏋🏼‍♀️
