We support the call for restricting the sale and marketing of energy drinks to children and young people, as new research reveals the impacts are more significant and broader than previously understood. buff.ly/4bma8fw

I'm so honoured to be the first Black medical doctor globally to have curated an anthology on eating disorders. We definitely need MUCH MORE diverse ethnic representation in this field.

So brilliant to see This Morning bring on TV little Frankie diagnosed with coeliac disease and her mum as well as Prof Sanders (leading gastroenterologist in the world in both research and clinical expertise when it comes to coeliac disease) to raise awareness of coeliac disease

I didn't think I would need to say this today

Orange Juice (100% pure juice) from supermarket is NOT an #UltraProcessedFood #UPF

Coke (and other sugar-sweetened carbonated drinks) is an #UltraProcessedFood #UPF

OMG fruit is fine! I never imagined my job as a dietitian would include explaining why fruit isn’t poison.

Fruit isn’t just sugar ffs. It’s mostly water & nutrients like fibre, vitamins, & minerals!

Each 10g of fibre in your diet lowers your risk of colorectal cancer by 10%.

A must listen for your day.

Today’s adventure was chairing a round table event on #blendeddiets which was educational for me and lovely to hang with other dietitians! Always a treat. #whatdietitiansdo #freelancelife

Brilliant news, and excellent that lived experience of eating disorders have already been central to this (if not flagged high up here, as per!) 👏🏼

Reducing ultra processed foods is a good plan but that doesn’t mean cutting them out entirely. Small steps will add up over time.

Finally met Angry Chef today, when we both spoke at an event “the future of fat”. Fabulous event with interesting presentations from food innovators.

Learning about precision fermentation. Wow food manufacturers are clever! #nutritionisascience

This is so much needed! Good news

Hanging out (and speaking later) Mission Kitchen #futureoffat event today. Starting with a delicious lunch

Prepping my talk for Mission Kitchen Future of Fat event. Looks like a great event with so many innovative food brands!

Amazing opportunity

It’s ok to eat differently at the weekend. So if you relaxed and enjoyed more fun foods/drinks there is no need for any guilt and shame.

Food is for pleasure as well as nourishment.

An example of how cutting out UPF just isn’t the answer
