Join Chicago-area pediatric dietitian Betsy Hjelmgren and her husband, David, as they venture on their own nutrition journey this August. Their vlog contains all the laughs, fun banter and tips you would expect from a great couple attempting a restrictive diet rollercoaster. Tune in as Betsy learns to truly appreciate the difficulties clients and families face when embarking on a new diet with nothing but a few handouts and some encouragement from others!
After 13 oz of sirloin, the topic came up about portion sizes and the necessity of such. But, David is very happy to feel full and satisfied.
Betsy went for a long bike ride today, following yesterday without enough energy, and did not have more energy today. However, she is learning that a couple of dates will pick her back up. The biggest issue with the low energy availability is the mood swinging.
