Welcome!
Hi! I am so happy you’re here! My name is Cristal & I am currently studying for my board exam to become a registered dietitian nutritionist. During my time in school, and prior to that, I have been so passionate about nutrition, movement, and feeling good all-around ❤ 
A brief introduction... growing up, my parents weren’t quite knowledgeable of healthier eating habits. I’ve always been of larger frame and when 2012 hit, after a rough couple years, I decided to change my life around. I joined a local CrossFit gym and began to learn about ways to lose weight.
It all started with thinking that consuming veggies and protein was the only way to get it done. Little did I know my approach was not quite an optimal one! As the years went by, I began to learn more about portion control, being okay with eating all foods, and how heavy restriction can lead to episodes of binging. At the time, I was working for companies such as Whole Foods Market, Garden of Life, Vega and continued to expand my knowledge with natural foods, different diets, and how easily accessible items were for these special diets. This experience taught me ways and helped me brew ideas on how I can inspire and educate individuals.
Through years of self-experimenting and exploration, I have found what really works for me and this is how individuals should be guided in any goal they wish to accomplish. 
(◠﹏◠✿) 
In the summer of 2017, I decided it was time for me to go back to school and pursue my degree in Dietetics and Nutrition. Being 27 at that time, it felt weird being in classes with younger folks. Looking back now, none of that mattered. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ why would it? I learned that it’s never too late to go after your dreams! During my time in college, I gained weight, experienced challenging life events, and my depression/anxiety grew bigger and bigger.
My financial standing had changed significantly, as I paid for tuition out-of-pocket, stress levels had increased, and daily food choices had definitely changed. But as I got closer to finishing my degree, I begun to make changes. Not so much with the goal of pursuing weight loss, but more so in accepting & loving myself and doing the best I can at whichever moment.
It’s unfortunate that for so many years I had been so hard on myself. Comparing myself to classmates and entering a downward spiral in self-love. Today I am proud to say that I see my differences as empowering. Most dietitians are thin, Caucasian females - I am a full-bodied, Hispanic and PROUD (◕‿◕✿) Health is extremely important to me so I’m not sitting here saying my weight gain is not being addressed but I am accepting what is and doing my best in the areas in which I can control. 
I am grateful to be able to understand individuals on a different level in which some may never. It’s a blessing in disguise. I hope to someday help those that desire to be guided ~ not only with weight loss, but in all areas of nutrition (didn’t go to school for nothing 🤗)! I truly wish to see others accomplish their goals and succeed ❤
This is me! If you’ve read this far...
THANK YOU & WELCOME!
 ❤

Nutrition: Using Spices in Cooking
Nutrition: Using Spices in Cooking
I’ve had a request about how to use spices to season foods/ to make healthy foods more tasteful. I thought this was a great idea and thought I’d share my tips! I feel like when I cook I use at least 3 spices at all times!
Parsley
Parsley is a spice I use all.the.time. I almost never leave it out when I’m cooking. Honestly, I don’t think it has too much of a taste but it sure makes the food look…

Guest Post: What’s New at the Dining Centers?
Welcome back Iowa State students! This school year we have many new and exciting changes occurring at the dining centers that I am thrilled to tell you about! The new Friley Windows dining center is officially open, which is located below Friley and can be entered on the east side by Lake Laverne. It features stations offering trendy foods including international flavors, homemade pizzas, comfort foods, and vegan and vegetarian items. Go visit and try the homemade garden pizza for a vegetarian favorite! Another change occurring this year is a new all-day breakfast station at UDCC. Stop by for a made-to-order protein-packed omelet to keep you full for a busy day!
Tumblr media
Additionally, Conversations dining center hours are changing, so breakfast and Late Night meals will no longer be available. Instead, Seasons and Friley Windows will offer Late Night food items from 7 pm to 10 pm and 11 pm, respectively. With the new unlimited meal plan, this will be the perfect opportunity to grab some fruit or a small dessert to satisfy your sweet tooth at night! Another perk of this meal plan is that you don’t have to “get your money’s worth” and load up on full plates of food. Instead you can have smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Finally, Storms Dining has started offering hot entrees for lunch, along with the salad bar, deli sandwiches and flatbreads, and desserts. If you’re over by the Wilson and Wallace Towers, stop over and enjoy the hummus bar, which offers two types of delicious hummus. Pair it with fresh, crunchy vegetables to get a fiber boost! We hope you enjoy your dining adventure this year!

Do I want to be lean or have fun?
Do I want to be lean or have fun?
Lately I’ve been struggling thinking about my goals. Every day my priorities change. Some days I want to lift and do cardio and eat egg whites and lean out in preparation for summer. Other days I want to lay around, eat pizza and ice cream, and drink beer. Sometimes I eat well and workout and drink beer all in the same day. I’m going to Florida in about 5 weeks and my plan was to pull in the…
