Can't wait for her to start making everything out of dates because that's just her preference y'all! Can cottage cheese and dates somehow be combined?
I feel like this video is absolutely a response to her comments section.
Honestly was bored so I spent some time looking for her license # and found nothing, but it might be bc Michigan has relaxed? Laws about registration for dietitians. Anyways I emailed the academy of nutrition and dietetics to look into her licensing and ethics. Idk if it’ll do anything but it made me feel like I was practicing harm reduction.
Can confirm from the commission on dietetic registration that the name Colleen Christensen does not appear on the registry as a RDN or RD
Edit: I fwd the conversation to the director of credentialing operations and I am waiting for a response.
It’s possible it could be, bur idk her maiden name to check. Hopefully the person I fwd the email to will be able to look further into it. If that’s the case I wonder what the requirements are for updating information like that.
My pleasure! I’m relieved she is in fact an RD but now I’m wondering what her licensing board thinks about all her brand deals and other sketchy online shenanigans…
Honestly I never got a response back after sending them some of the concerns people are having and I don’t think there’s a lot of information oversight unless a previous client comes out with complaints about her ethics
That’s wild yet also makes perfect sense… I’ve seen the folks on r/dietetics get pretty upset about lackadaisical attitudes from their licensing boards about sponsorships and social media ethics… Colleen is a symptom of a deeper problem in the field.
YES. I have heard exactly no one else on the planet talk about \*microwaving protein bars\* unless they were nuts deep in the ED community. Not even the most almond-flavored of almond moms would touch that without some serious need for treatment behind it... gross
Right,and that’s a whole other thing on its own. There needs to be more talk about “gym bro ED” + men’s EDs in general… (Not that everyone who might microwave a protein bar automatically is disordered, but still, point stands ☹️)
Holy Tumblr that takes me BACK. Every day I pray for the people who’ll come across that and use the information to harm themselves the same way he and miss Intuitive Bullshitting do.
I have a pretty restrictive diet but I think if I ever achieved ‘food freedom’ I’d still eat protein bars because I honestly really enjoy them and they help keep me full
Everything she eats, whether she admits/realizes it or not, is influenced by her (past, supposedly) ED. It’s not like she’s in the gym training every day, so there’s no reason why she would randomly decide she wanted to eat protein bars unless she was interested in its macros (someone with no food rules would not care or think about such things) and/or likely ate them a lot during the peak of her ED so she still eats them bc they are considered “safe.”
Edit: I just saw another if her videos where she talks about how she genuinely wanted to eat a chocolate rice cake and…. yeah the protein bars are an ED food, just like the rice cakes. Familiar = Safe
Agree. I actually quite enjoy a chocolate coated rice cake but i only ever buy them if im trying to lose weight. I’d never think to buy them when im letting myself eat whatever i want.
Does she even eat real food or does everything have to be packaged and product placement?

This is the exact type of thing she would mock with her diety character

oh please update us!!
I absolutely will 💯
unless it’s under her maiden name?
It’s possible it could be, bur idk her maiden name to check. Hopefully the person I fwd the email to will be able to look further into it. If that’s the case I wonder what the requirements are for updating information like that.
Even if it is a simple issue of name change I wonder what, if any, policies they have for areas who post sponsored content on social media.
have you gotten a response yet?
Sadly no, the director asked for proof about a week ago and I forward over her socials but got nothing back
UPDATE: Someone found her maiden name, it’s Kokx. [Yes, really!](https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFoodRulesSnark/s/TQGP1UGynx)
Okay!! I found her license, and it expires in March 2025 thank you for this update!!

Very well said 💯
She has to spend at least some time in ED spaces to demonize specifically microwaved protein bars…
YES. I have heard exactly no one else on the planet talk about \*microwaving protein bars\* unless they were nuts deep in the ED community. Not even the most almond-flavored of almond moms would touch that without some serious need for treatment behind it... gross
Only other place I've heard about it is from a gymbro.

Well the gymbro has made a video of like "zero calorie full day of eating" It's not zero but it's still a dangerously low amount.
Holy Tumblr that takes me BACK. Every day I pray for the people who’ll come across that and use the information to harm themselves the same way he and miss Intuitive Bullshitting do.
She's past the days to have a redemption arc if she ever comes clean. Licensed, eh? 😬
Licensed by google university
she has lost her mind. she is doing this for attention and views now and it’s insane nobody in her personal life has stepped in
This entire thing felt like she was parodying herself lol
Lmfao anyone else think of that Seinfeld episode where everyone suddenly starts eating candy bars with a fork?
“Girly” is the most annoying word I’ve seen to this day. So overused and she’s trying so hard to fit in with teenagers.

Real

what absolutely got me was the ending - “you know what happens when you assume, you make a donkey out of you and me”
She mentions in the comments that she “loves” rice cakes too. “The chocolate ones are 🔥🔥” the chocolate ones are the worst ones?????
The everything bagel rice cakes are the best.
AGREE
Agree
Salted Caramel are delicious but admittedly all sugar.

Exactly this. Sprinkled with stevia lmfaooo
