How to Shed That Quarantine Weight ft. Millennial Nutritionist Illa Garcia MS, RD

This is College presents the Millennial Girls Podcast sponsored by Dezo!

We love bringing you relatable topics like self-love and anxiety, so today we wanted to talk about nutrition! We're joined by Registered Dietitian, Illa Garcia, aka "Millennial Nutritionist".

For the last year, it just feels like it's so easy to give up eating right, cooking every day, exercising, etc... Since half of us work near our kitchen, it's so much easier to walk in there and grab something. This could have led us to put on some quarantine weight.

With such a year, we wanted to talk with Illa! We talk about all things nutrition, you really just need to watch the episode to hear all the advice! We took some time to hear about different swaps we can make, what types of alcoholic beverages to drink, all things fiber, and what to order at Starbucks and Chick-Fil-A to make it healthier.

We also just want to take a moment to remind you that your weight does not determine your self-worth! You are beautiful the way you are! If you want to lose weight, do it for you. Weight DOES NOT equal worth.
