With Thanksgiving behind us, and Chanukah, Christmas and New Year’s just ahead, now is my most FAVORITE time to lean into nutrition, clean eating and resetting. Yes, you read that right! We officially have three weeks to lean in, clean up and feel AMAZING. I mean, why wait until January 1st? This truly is why I originally created my Real …
Let’s talk about the scale. As a registered dietitian, I do not require my clients to get on the scale. It is up to them if they’re interested and if it’s something that’s going to help them meet their goals. What I love about the scale is that it holds you accountable; instead of just getting on the scale once …
The ingredient we don’t talk about enough: fiber. We know we should cook more at home and eat less processed food, but how do we get enough fiber in our diet? As a registered dietitian, I recommend eating between 25-40 grams of fiber every single day. Fiber is found in plant-based foods, so that includes beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, vegetables, …
Fall is one of our favorite times to buckle down and focus on nutrition goals. So many of my clients are crushing it right now. And then… comes Halloween. It’s right around the corner, the holiday that can throw even the most motivated individual off track! You heard it here, you don’t have to abstain from candy, you just have to limit …
As a registered dietitian living and working in New York City, I can tell you that I’m well-versed in helping my clients strategize on what to eat when they’re on the run. My first tip: be prepared.

We call it “pre-New Year’s” because after a fun-filled summer, the structure and routine of fall is naturally the perfect time to get back to your healthy habits! So as you settle back into your fall routine, we at Real …
Feel like you need a map to get through the tempting supermarket aisles? As a NYC girl, I totally get overwhelmed by the dizzying array of choices! (This was me in the suburbs out West!) Here are some tips so you too can grocery shop like a pro: ➡️ Stick to the perimeter: This is where the freshest foods are …
Hate to state the obvious, but Summer is coming to an end and it’s time to start preparing for back to school! Whether you’re a parent getting your kids back into the school year craziness or you’re a student heading off or back to college, Fall can be the perfect time to get back on track with your nutrition and prepare …
I work with many people for weight management, and often times, it’s not their first visit to a dietitian when they come to see me. Sometimes they come to see me because of the way that I work, or for new strategies, or just my lifestyle approach. But, what happens is when you’ve been to multiple nutritionists or dietitians, and …
Many of my clients are complaining about feeling bloated or not wanting to feel bloated. It’s a popular conversation, so let’s get to it! For fruits, we want high fiber and high water.
