Hi and welcome to Spilling the Beans, a blog dedicated to nourishing healthier relationships with food and self. I’m so glad you stopped by!
I’m Amanda, a 28-year-old Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nutritionist who is passionate about dispelling diet culture myths, moving women towards normalized eating, and eating satisfying foods. No foods are off limits in my world.
I started this blog in 2017 to more actively join the conversation around combating diet culture and spread the word about intuitive eating. My mission is for this blog to be a cozy community for women to feel more empowered in their eating, body image, and mental health. Being a woman today can be challenging. We often feel that we must conform to unrealistic standards. Believe me—I’ve been there. I fought through my fair share of these same challenges with disordered eating in my teens and early twenties.
There are plenty of blogs in the world that can leave you feeling less valuable because you don’t eat green smoothies or go to SoulCycle daily. My hope is that Spilling the Beans helps you realize that while nutrition is an important part of your life—it’s not the only part of your life. I’d hate to wake up one day when I’m 85-years-old and realize I wastes so much of my life obsessing over the scale and tracking every single calorie. I imagine you might feel the same. For support in your health journey, I currently take clients virtually and offer an online course.
Aside from working as a dietitian, you can usually catch me with a glass of cab sauv watching the latest episode of Real Housewives (my guilty pleasure). Other times you might find me visiting a friend across the country. Some days I dabble in the world of yoga, while other days I enjoy a run with my dog.
