3 Ways to Stop the Diet-Deprivation Cycle
What should I eat? When should I eat? How much should I eat? These are all questions that likely float around in your mind every single day. The “what, when and how much” of eating have been implanted in your mind as result of a lifelong dependency on dieting as your only hope towards losing weight and achieving the body you love.

8 Tips to Boosting the Nutritional Power of Your Lunchbox
It’s back to school, back to work, back to the hectic routine of the fall season. This means the lunchboxes are out and need to be packed in order to ensure you have food to eat at lunchtime. For some, this is not such an easy task. Planning ahead takes time, as does taking the food preferences of each family member into consideration. It’s easy to toss into the lunchbox a prepackaged snack food or frozen meal, or worse yet, not pack the lunchbox at all. This means you are either “winging it” or buying food in the school or work cafeteria with less than healthy options.

Top 4 Reasons Your Grain Choices are Harming You
There is a lot of buzz about what type of grains you should be eating or if you should even be consuming any at all. You’ve probably been told (too many times to count) to eat whole grains. But, more often than not, I find that what people think are whole grains actually are not. There can be a lot of confusion in this area since there are so many labels out there with the word “grain” on them. You likely mistake multi-grain or seven-grain for whole grain, though there is a noteworthy difference.
