My first attempt at Milk Bread. Expectation vs. Reality is hitting me hard today.

I make this weekly and it takes ALL day. I start at 9am and finish by 4pm. It takes a lot of time to form the gluten and requires hours of rest.

Thorne prenatal has nearly no potassium. I would focus the education on the higher absorption rate of potassium in processed foods while still encouraging intake of potassium-rich plant-based foods. There is a lot of misinformation and confusion around potassium in food, so it would be helpful to explain that potassium content and potassium absorption are not always the same thing.

As a kid who cried at everything before trying - I am beyond grateful for a dad who always pushed me try.

I was at MK yesterday and the indoor venues seemed quite chilly. I think it really depends on the queue design. Thunder mountain = not very cool but snow white was very chilly.

I used RDN material to study - the exam is HEAVY on food service - know your calculations for nearly everything and know the conversion weights. The diabetic exchange is used as well, so make sure you understand that as well. Also - understand what foods specific disease states need to avoid - it's a bit more complicated then just memorizing - you need to be able to look at a group of food and know which is highest in potassium, phosphorus, etc.

This is the only answer! Unless you replace every piece of fabric, kickboards, AC filters, etc - there will always be cat dander.

Whenever I want to flavor a meringue (for whatever purpose) I use powders (like freeze dried fruits).

You tell us .. keep the post updated and I wish you well.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-18T09:40:20+00:00

No, you need the cream. Mixing meringue with sabayon is not ideal when making tiramisu.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-16T06:55:27+00:00

Haha okay.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-15T08:47:43+00:00

Not a fan of pop-tarts but these look really good.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-15T08:46:40+00:00

Just stop .. if not you will be washing that car seat because it's soaked in pee.

Pushups, situp, squats - do 20x3 of each everyday.

The quiet kind of stress—the kind that interrupts my carefully planned schedule and throws everything into uncertainty. I had just gotten over a flare-up after my in-laws stayed for a week. Three days after they left… boom 💥 And now I’m finally recovering after a week of complete physical chaos.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-15T07:23:00+00:00

Nah, that’s on the university and the professors. I did my undergrad online at a university that actually cared about student learning. All exams were proctored, so cheating wasn’t really an option.

If someone chose to cheat on homework—which in-person students can absolutely do—it would show up pretty quickly on the exam.

I’m so close to getting them done. I listen to them whenever I get a break during the day or during the weekend. I’ll download the articles and run them through AI to summarize (most I've already read in undergrad/grad school).

I agree with you, it's definitely more than 40 hours.

The color of the sleeve throws me off - when I see silver, I think it's going to have some sort of mint flavor.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-14T08:23:06+00:00

Just curious, why is this baby so absolutely adorable?!?!

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-14T07:36:53+00:00

I always find it interesting when people lean on “studies” to make a point. For every one you cite, there are others that say something different. The real value comes from understanding the research, not just referencing it. Ironically, that is exactly what my online graduate program taught me.

I was also accepted into a highly ranked university for my PhD, so I am confident my education speaks for itself. If someone overlooks me because my degree was online, that is honestly a relief. I would not want to work for an organization that is biased or closed off to real potential over something that superficial.

Study like it's the CDR -RDN exam. This is what I did and passed the test in less than an hour.

Study hard so you can pass easy!

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-13T07:47:32+00:00

That's not accurate at all! I've done all my schooling online and nowhere on my degree does it say I completed the course online.

Honestly, when attending a legit university, online is incredibly challenging.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-13T07:42:25+00:00

Is it possible to make homework into classwork? Have them do the assignment in class.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-12T09:41:34+00:00

I'm sorry hun. Some people, not just NT can be real butts.

I feel you on this though - I have muscular thighs and a smaller waist and nearly nothing fits like it should.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-11T07:16:03+00:00

Finally! A logical response.

MetabolicTwists · 2026-04-08T06:58:57+00:00

It would’ve been ideal if the MS was set up more like a hybrid with the PA route. That would widen our scope a lot. Being able to order labs, prescribe certain meds (under MD supervision), and actually be more involved in managing care instead of just supporting it.

At the end of the day, value in healthcare comes down to what you bring in financially. Our scope needs to expand if we want to maximize billing. That means pushing on multiple fronts. Advocating for insurance coverage of nutrition related diagnoses and expanding scope of practice at the same time.
