Menu Etiquette?????

Another tip...

Sorbet (N) - frozen, icy dish; similar to sherbet; however; it does not contain milk. Sorbet is used as a palate cleanser between courses.

Pronounced - sor bay (the t is silent)

Yes, You Can Help in the Prevention of Eating Disorders....

'Your going to eat that?' 'Isn't that fattening?' 'I heard that food was bad for you.'

Quotes that we at College Lifestyles (TM) hear over and over again.

States our director, Shelly Marie, 'We are all guilty of looking at someone's plate; but be mindful of what individuals are eating. It absolutely drives me insane when I am eating dark chocolate or peanut butter or drinking milk and someone states 'Oh, that's fattening' or worse, 'that's bad for you.' This can cause an intense amount of confusion, as well as start the 'dirty food rumor mill.'

What's better? States our director:

'Intuitive Eating is a way to understand the body's hunger signals. We really want to listen to our body on when to feed it and how much to feed it.'

To put it frankly, 'Commit to never commenting on what someone is eating.'

What's New in the College Lifestyles (TM) Pantry????

Popchips!!!!!

We love these chips! Natural and 'popped!' That's right - think of these as 'popcorn chips.' Great for snacking or better yet, we found our chip for the superbowl!!!!

Available at Target and Whole Foods!!!

Happy Popping!!!

Meet Cassie, a professional, from Eat Well and Be Fabulous: A Guide for the Modern Day Woman

'I am so sick of chicken at night, sandwiches for lunch, and pretzels for my snack. Someone is always bringing a cake to work. It's very frustrating. Just tell me what to do!'

Shelly's first encounter with Cassie. Cassie is a new professional in the city. On her own officially and can enjoy happy hour!

But....'I get so tired around 3pm. I just want to feel better and have more energy!'

Hum...Cassie, hold your head up high because you stepping on the fabulous train......(Shelly's thought!)

Congrats to our Director!

We are happy to announce that our director, Shelly Marie, is a nominee for the Louisiana Recognized Young Dietitian of the Year!

Shelly will learn if she is the recipient of the award at the Louisiana Dietetic Association Meeting in April! Good Luck!

Shelly was nominated by her peers in the Shreveport Dietetic Association! She states, 'That is what makes this so special, I am nominated by other dietitians! Wow!'

What's in our Director's Travel Bag??? Something anyone can have in the dorm or refrigerator!

Since our director will be flying out tomorrow (to the land of the Gators!), we asked her what goodies she will travel with on the plane...

'I always make a wrap with Hormel sliced ham, 2% kraft cheese, and a high fiber bagel as my bread.'

Why Hormel? 'Hormel has no MSG and no added nitrates and taste wonderful! No airport food for me!'
