"A nutritious afternoon snack gives you the energy and patience to cook dinner!"

Many clients come home from work absolutely starving! This intense hunger often leads to long-term eating patterns that aren’t ideal—eating too fast, past the point of fullness, grabbing quick convenience foods, snacking excessively, and more. To avoid these habits, it’s best to listen to your moderate hunger cues and have an afternoon snack, so you don’t arrive home famished.

Maude Bélanger, Dietitian in Joliette

"Dare to leave food on your plate! One thing’s for sure, your hunger will always come back!"

Learning to eat in line with your satiety cues is challenging for many. It means you don’t have to finish your plate every time. Is it realistic to think that 100% of the time, you serve exactly what your body needs?

To free yourself from the “clean plate club” and start eating more intuitively, explore your eating style in What Type of Eater Are You?.

Timothy Leung, Dietitian in Markham, Toronto

"To stay motivated and eat well long term, aim for consistency, not perfection. One off-day doesn’t ruin your whole week!"

We tend to be overly critical of ourselves. Many clients focus more on what went wrong than on their many wins. It’s important to let go of the perfectionist mindset and thrive on small successes.

Jennifer Lamarche, Dietitian in Sainte-Catherine

"Take the time to savor each bite. Pause between bites during your meal. Enjoying your food helps curb the urge to overeat."

In our fast-paced lives, we don’t give ourselves enough time to eat mindfully. If we rush through our meals, we appreciate them less, and we’re more likely to crave food just for pleasure later. Food is one of life’s joys, and learning to savor it daily is a gift to ourselves!

Maude Lalonde, Dietitian in Quebec City

"Before changing a food habit, ask yourself: Am I comfortable enough to keep this up for 10, 20, 30 years? If the answer is no, it’s time to find a more sustainable solution."

Diet culture is deeply ingrained in our society. As dietitians, our mission is to help people make realistic, long-term changes. Too often we think we can temporarily overhaul our lives for lasting benefits, but research consistently shows that dieting doesn’t work long term.

Chloé Fleurent-Grégoire, Dietitian in Montreal

"Find what works for YOU and fits your lifestyle. Personalized nutrition is key!"

More and more clients come in well-informed, often wondering if they should follow a trendy diet or eat like someone else. But what works for one person may not work for another. Tailoring the approach to fit your lifestyle is essential, otherwise, even the best advice won’t last.

Catherine Clément-Dumas, Dietitian in Valleyfield

"Flavored water can be a game-changer! A summer day, good company, and hydration go hand in hand."

Many clients struggle to drink enough water. While it may seem simple, it’s a daily challenge for many. Adding a fun twist to your water might make it easier. Try these 10 infused water recipes to boost hydration!

Éléonore Dessureault, Dietitian in Shawinigan

"Start your meal planning with veggies! Ask, 'What am I eating with my veggies?' instead of 'What am I eating with my pasta?'."

According to Canada’s Food Guide, half your plate should be vegetables. Yet we’re often taught to plan meals around protein. Waiting until the last minute to choose veggie sides often means they get neglected. Prioritizing veggies in your planning makes for better balance overall.
