Ngee the Nutritionist (RNutr)

As we March on into a new month… bear this in mind

Now my body can rest😩

I want to post real life vlogs every week… Vlog 1/30 Life as a nutritionist who also works night shifts. 🥹❤️ Woke up after catching some sleep, made myself something to eat, did a little content editing and enjoyed a slow day. Any night-shift workers here? How do you manage your meals and sleep? 😂 #NightShiftDiaries #NutritionistLifestyle

You're the one doing Amebo. If you hadn't mentioned her name, I wouldn't have known she was the one FA was talking about. Asili gbakulute🙂‍↔️

Don’t let anybody tell you your little wins aren’t worth celebrating. Walking 5,000 steps a day is not progress? Eating at least one fruit a day is not a step in the right direction? Sleeping an extra hour compared to what you used to is nothing to be proud of? Strength training 2–3 times a week isn’t an achievement? Oh, please! 😭 Who made the rules? We have become so obsessed with doing MORE that we sometimes fail to appreciate the small things we’re already doing. Not everyone is going to hit 10,000 steps daily. Not everyone can overhaul their entire diet overnight. Not everyone has the time or capacity to exercise every single day. But if you’re doing a little better than you used to, that counts. And here’s the thing: you don’t have to wait until you’ve lost 10kg, completed a fitness challenge or achieved some dramatic transformation before you acknowledge your progress. Small habits, repeated consistently, can make a meaningful difference over time. So, please, celebrate your progress. Even the seemingly insignificant ones. Consistency looks good on you, boo. ❤️ Love, Ngee.

I get you, Doc. But I was addressing the structural classification of carbohydrates, while also distinguishing between whole and refined grains, which speaks to processing. The fact that a carbohydrate is structurally complex doesn’t automatically mean it will produce a slower or lower glycaemic response. Processing, cooking methods, starch composition (including the amylose-to-amylopectin ratio), and food matrix all influence digestibility and postprandial glucose response. On the flip side, even some simple carbohydrates don’t necessarily produce a high glycaemic load. Watermelon is a good example. It has a relatively high GI but a low GL at typical serving sizes because of its low available carbohydrate content. So, I agree that food pairing and eating order can influence the metabolic response, but we shouldn’t use glycaemic response to redefine the structural classification of carbohydrates. They are two different, but related conversations.

So the teacher's solution to making a child write faster is to starve him???! Please who are these people!! Is she aware of cognitive development and the role nutrition plays? A child needs food for energy FGS! A child who doesn't eat breakfast and you deprive him of having his lunch. God abeg o

Thank you Lord

How to build a balanced Nigerian plate without overthinking it… walk with me☺️ 1.Choose your staple: rice, yam, potatoes, swallow, plantain or another preferred carbohydrate. 2.Add protein: beans, eggs, fish, chicken, meat, or other suitable options. 3.Include vegetables through soups, stews, sides or other meals. 4. Consider the cooking method, oil, salt and your own health needs. 5.Adapt to your budget, appetite, work schedule and available foods. Balance is a pattern, not a perfect plate at every meal. Remember that a balanced diet is not one expensive recipe you must repeat forever. Start with foods you enjoy and can afford, then build variety over time. Your needs may differ depending on activity, medical conditions and life stage. Love Ngee

Finding out that I favour neutral cool undertone for powders has been unraveling for me, I always thought I was warm😩. I remember being in denial when I went to match for Hauslabs foundation in 2024 and matched up with a cool undertone. Today at MAC confirmed once again😩😩 NC45 it is😩 ( this is actually meant for warm undertones sha, I don’t just like seeing the C)

Rice is a complex carb! Yes I said it! I’m tired of people calling it simple carbs😩. Know the difference between Whole Foods and refined! Ofada rice and plain white rice are both complex carbs, Ofada is just less refined. Same goes for white bread and “whole grain wheat bread” And while I’m still on it, who told us that eating healthy means abandoning Nigerian food? 😭 Apparently, if it isn’t quinoa, avocado toast or some unfamiliar grain, it doesn’t count. You can eat rice, yam and swallow and still have a balanced diet. Your food doesn’t have to lose its cultural identity to become nutritious. Let’s make nutrition advice practical, affordable and culturally relevant. What’s one Nigerian meal you’ll never give up? Mine is plantain🤭

I remember when I got married and moved to Enugu in 2020. The area we lived in had bad light. We hardly used our microwave because of how bad the light was. We used stabilizer for almost everything.. it was horrible! We couldn't bear it so we left before our next rent was due.
