Can Pinterest Help You Eat a Healthy Diet?

 

Can Pinterest help people live a healthier lifestyle? That's the premise behind The Pinterest Diet. Healthy Eats recently posed some questions to author Mitzi Dulan, a registered dietitian and team nutritionist for the Kansas City Royals baseball team.

I realized Pinterest was a powerful tool when I started getting so many repins of recipes and workout plans that I had posted. I was blown away by the number of people who would then go and make the recipes. Some of my pins were original recipes, like my Honey Peanut Butter Protein Energy Ball [recipe below], and some were pinned from other online sources. Now, I'm so excited to photograph my own recipes and hope to inspire others to begin making their own meals and start eating simple, delicious and nutritious food.

The MSF (Most Satisfying Foods) Factor Foods Board. This board includes foods that have one or more of the following: protein, fiber and healthy fats. These foods help satisfaction, and that is so important when you are trying to lose weight. Some of the foods that made my Top 50 MSF Factor List include cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, strawberries, pork tenderloin, sardines, salmon, eggs, lean beef, baby carrots, watermelon, oats, avocados and almonds.

1. Workout Plans Board. It is important to know that this board also acts as a catch-all of my favorite foods, workouts plans, daily inspiration and favorite products. You can find fabulous new workouts, clean, simple, affordable recipes, inspirational quotes and articles on hot topics.
