We all have to eat—several times a day, in fact—and with how fast life moves, making that process smoother is something we can all benefit from. Since I’ve already shared my top tips for successful meal planning, I thought it would be just as helpful to talk about some common mistakes that can actually set you back. Sometimes, even...]]></description><link>https://www.kfnutrition.ca/post/the-top-mistakes-when-it-comes-to-meal-planning</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a454698463386a45165bff1</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:56:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/473e64_163b754ea0c6497996d9e18e45179321~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_836,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kayla Francoeur</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[WHY "JUICING" IS UNNECESSARY FOR DETOXIFICATION]]></title><description><![CDATA[Every once in a while I am scrolling on s ocial media and come across some influencers promoting ''miracle products'' or making juices to help ''detox the body'' or ''give a break to their system''. I want to break things down a little bit to enlighten you on why this is a complete waste of time (and money!). Unfortunately, there’s no evidence that toxins build up in the body and impair its normal function. The human body was made with natural detoxifiers called the kidneys and the liver....]]></description><link>https://www.kfnutrition.ca/post/why-juicing-is-unnecessary-for-detoxification</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4545f45af2dd52aa968f32</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:55:09 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/473e64_9471215388f94bdb8ae7d0a7e0c3f40e~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_836,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kayla Francoeur</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[WHY CONSIDER EATING IN THE MORNING?]]></title><description><![CDATA[A lot of people skip breakfast, yet find themselves absolutely famished by lunchtime. The most common reason? “I’m just not hungry in the morning.”   But I often wonder: is it truly a lack of hunger, or have we been influenced by diet culture to believe that skipping breakfast helps us “save calories” for later?   Before we go further, it’s worth noting: breakfast simply means breaking the fast. It’s just your first meal of the day, and it doesn’t have to look like traditional “breakfast...]]></description><link>https://www.kfnutrition.ca/post/why-consider-eating-in-the-morning</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a45458f3711ac3161d898d3</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:52:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/473e64_aed6268a00f24e4c83ff4545b5d985bf~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kayla Francoeur</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[IS ALL FIBRE CREATED EQUAL?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Lately, I’ve been seeing more and more “high-fibre” candies and ultra-processed products being promoted online, often by influencers claiming they’re a simple way to boost fibre intake. And listen, I love that fibre is finally getting the attention it deserves (it might even be my favourite nutrient… but don’t tell the others). But this trend deserves a closer look.   As a quick refresher, the main sources of fibre are whole, plant-based foods: fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes,...]]></description><link>https://www.kfnutrition.ca/post/is-all-fibre-created-equal</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4544869c4d1b405b24726a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:49:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/473e64_c15e540441b440f7bd8a745d71074ac1~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kayla Francoeur</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[10 COMMON MISTAKES IN NUTRITION]]></title><description><![CDATA[Strict/restrictive diets: The most successful and healthiest way to lose weight is over a long period of time. The only way to lose fat without losing muscle mass is to lose approximately 1 pound per week. Think about how long it took to put ON the weight… it wouldn't make sense to drop the pounds in an extremely short period of time. 2.

However, the way that the proteins are spread out during the day is often uneven. We tend not to eat enough at breakfast, and too much at supper time. Studies suggest that spreading your protein intake equally across your snacks and meals has multiple benefits, such as stabilizing hunger and satiety throughout the day, as well as promoting muscle and bone health in adults. Ideally, a breakfast should contain between 20-30 grams of...]]></description><link>https://www.kfnutrition.ca/post/how-to-increase-your-protein-intake-at-breakfast</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a453de23711ac3161d882bc</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 16:20:13 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/473e64_1a30e2a6276a46cca9b68a34b10ad7c9~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_853,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kayla Francoeur</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[WHAT IS FOOD NEUTRALITY?]]></title><description><![CDATA[For decades, diet culture has taught us to sort foods into categories: good vs. bad, clean vs. dirty, healthy vs. junk. This kind of thinking has created a moral hierarchy around food, where unprocessed, nutrient-rich foods are praised, while processed or sugary foods are shamed.  You may have never thought about this before, but what are the impacts that this can have on our relationship with food? What Is Food Neutrality?
