A study explores how nutrition educators work with incentive programs like GusNIP to promote increased intake of fruits and vegetables. Nutrition educators play a unique role in providing participant-centered education, navigating food environments, and culturally adapting programming to meet diverse audience needs.
A culturally adapted online experience improved type 2 diabetes nutrition education for American Indians and Alaska Natives. The program prioritized traditional food practices and mindful eating activities, leading to increased engagement and positive experiences among participants.
A study published in Nature Food found that hyper-palatable foods consistently led to increased calorie intake across four different dietary patterns. These meals were characterized by high energy density, fast eating rates, and specific combinations of fat, sugar, sodium, and carbohydrates.
A new poll by Michigan Medicine and U-M found that 13% of people aged 50-80 experience addiction to highly processed foods, with higher rates among women and those in poor physical or mental health. The survey used a standardized questionnaire to measure addictive eating habits.
The Society for Nutrition Education and Behavior (SNEB) has updated its nutrition educator competencies to ensure professionals can facilitate lasting change in health. The new competencies cover content and processes for delivering effective nutrition education, including the role of physical activity and technology.
Engaged feeding practices, such as recognizing fullness cues and responsive feeding, can help parents guide their children towards healthier eating habits. By adopting these practices, parents can create a positive relationship with food that lasts into adulthood.
A new smartphone healthcare app called CALO mama Plus has been found to lead to significant reductions in body weight.

This simple change could collectively make a substantial difference in reducing the carbon footprint of US diets.
A new position paper argues that healthful foods for children are the same as those for adults, with age-appropriate adjustments in texture and portion size. Nutrition educators play key roles in shifting consumer demand and social norms to promote healthy food choices.
Children with autism benefit from group-based weight management and family-centered nutrition education, which improves eating habits and exercise motivation. The program's success rate is higher among families who complete the entire program, indicating its potential as an adjunct or alternative to traditional interventions.
Top-performing diet and nutrition apps often track dietary intake, anthropometrics, and physical activity but lack behavior change features. A new study in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that premium versions offered more features than free ones, but these did not significantly impact app ratings or user engagement.
A recent study found that only a quarter of patients receive nutrition counseling during doctor visits, falling short of national nutritional objectives. Physicians can be trained to offer tailored nutrition messages, but more in-depth counseling is needed for optimal patient outcomes.
A new study by Frank et al. investigated the relationship between female physicians' personal diet-related habits and their nutrition counseling practices. The findings suggest that physicians who have intentionally altered their own diets are more likely to counsel their patients about nutrition and weight.
