Dietitian Names Beans as Top Plant Protein for Lowering Cholesterol

Registered dietitian Natalie Rizzo identifies beans as the premier plant-based protein for lowering LDL cholesterol due to their high soluble fiber content. Soluble fiber binds to cholesterol in the digestive tract, facilitating its removal from the body. Navy beans lead with over 9 grams of fiber per serving, followed by black and red adzuki beans at approximately 8 grams. Lentils and nuts are also recommended for their fiber and unsaturated fat profiles, which support heart health when replacing saturated fats.

Dietitian’s 30-Day Lemon Water Trial Yields No Magic Health Benefits

A registered dietitian tested the viral claim that drinking lemon water daily for a month delivers significant health boosts. After one month of consistent consumption, she reported no dramatic changes in weight, energy, or digestion. While the practice may support hydration, experts note it offers no unique advantages over plain water and carries minor risks like tooth enamel erosion due to acidity.

Eating Peanut Butter Daily: A Dietitian's Guide to Balance

Eating Peanut Butter Daily: A Dietitian's Guide to Balance

A registered dietitian says peanut butter is a nutrient-dense source of plant-based protein and healthy fats that can be part of a daily diet, provided you keep portions in check and choose simple ingredient forms. A standard 2-tablespoon serving has about 190 calories, 7 g protein, and 16 g fat; avoid added sugars or oils in flavored or no-stir varieties, and pair peanut butter with foods like apples, whole-grain toast, oats, or smoothies. To maintain overall balance, rotate other healthy fats throughout the week and watch total calories if you’re aiming for weight management.

Milk Could Be a More Effective Hydration Source Than Water

Milk Could Be a More Effective Hydration Source Than Water

A TODAY health expert says milk (skim or whole) can outperform water in hydrating the body because its natural electrolytes, plus fat and protein, help retain fluids longer. Small studies suggest milk may keep people hydrated longer than water. For extra hydration, options include milk, water paired with a salty snack, coconut water, or a DIY electrolyte drink; people who sweat heavily, are ill, or take certain medications may benefit from electrolytes, though most can stay hydrated with regular water and meals.

Psyllium, collagen, and creatine rise above the rest: a dietitian weighs supplements

Psyllium, collagen, and creatine rise above the rest: a dietitian weighs supplements

Dietitian Josie Porter reviews ten popular supplements, concluding that multivitamins rarely help, magnesium mainly benefits those with low intake, and electrolyte powders are largely unnecessary; however, psyllium husk can aid constipation/diarrhea, collagen may modestly improve skin elasticity (mostly in women in their 40s–50s), and creatine can help if dietary intake is insufficient. She also notes UK recommendations of about 10 micrograms of vitamin D daily from October to March due to low winter sunlight.

Gelatin pre-meal trick isn’t Ozempic, dietitians say

Gelatin pre-meal trick isn’t Ozempic, dietitians say

A viral pre-meal mix of warm water and unflavored gelatin may briefly increase fullness and help with portion control by expanding in the stomach and triggering a gut hormone, but it is not a substitute for prescription GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic/Wegovy. Treat it as a low-cost pre-meal appetite aid, not a meal replacement, and be aware of nutritional risks (gelatin is not a complete protein and can create amino acid gaps if relied on long term). For healthy adults, the suggested approach is 1 tablespoon gelatin in hot water, then diluted with room-temperature water or tea, 15–30 minutes before one daily meal, and consult a physician if pregnant, breastfeeding, kidney disease, or allergies.

Three Evidence-Backed Supplements a Dietitian Actually Uses

Dietitian Josie Porter warns most supplements lack solid evidence and FDA oversight, so she uses only three evidence-backed ones: vitamin D in darker months, omega-3s when she hasn’t eaten oily fish, and collagen for tendon healing and skin health; she emphasizes choosing third-party-tested products and notes that whole foods often beat supplements for omega-3 benefits.

10 Dietitian-Approved Frozen Meals for Easy, Balanced Dinners

Nutritionist Lyndsay Hall of JM Nutrition explains how to pick healthier frozen dinners by prioritizing meals with low sodium (ideally around 600 mg per serving, up to 800 mg), a balanced protein-to-carb ratio (roughly 15–20 g protein and under 50–60 g carbs), and mindful fats and sugars. She then highlights 10 dietitian-approved options from Farm Boy, President's Choice, and M&M Food Market, noting their calories, protein, fats and sodium. The takeaway: nutritious frozen options exist, but read labels carefully and pair with extra vegetables to boost fiber and micronutrients.

Four practical steps to eat better, not chase maxxing fiber or protein

A registered dietitian debunks extreme “maxxing” trends and offers four actionable tips for sustainable eating: balance fiber and protein at meals; stock a well-stocked freezer with frozen proteins, vegetables and grains to save time and reduce waste; vary your protein sources (fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, legumes, tofu/tempeh); and prioritize whole, minimally processed foods to support fullness, energy and long-term health.
