Diets Do Not Have to Be Boring!
A lot of people who want to lose weight think they can just do some cardio and the pounds will fall off, but most of us know that is not the case! It requires a lot of exercise, but more importantly, a good diet to go with it—after all, a good body is made in the kitchen. Typically your diet makes up 70 percent of your body, while exercise is only 30 percent, so if you have a good diet then that’s the hardest part done!

Food Reactions and Inflammatory Diseases
Most of us eat and drink without bothering about what happens to the foods in our gastrointestinal tract. You recall your biology teacher telling you how important it was to have a balanced diet. So you make sure every meal should always compose of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, and water.

Ditching Your Current Diet for the Ketogenic Diet
We all want to look our best, but sometimes no matter how many face masks and scrubs we use, our skin just doesn’t want to cooperate. Likewise, it can be tricky to shed those last few pounds before a big event or disastrous to try and tone up before summer weather hits. While it’s certainly crucial to exercise and tone your body, a step that many overlook is how important it is to monitor what you put into your body.

Laxative Fruits for Constipation
Laxative fruits such as pawpaws, orange, and plum are great allies when it comes to combating constipation, even in people with a long history of suffering from this intestinal problem. These fruits contain large amounts of fiber and water, which accelerates intestinal transit and favors the formation of feces. In addition to this, fruits also increase satiety, improve metabolism, and help one lose weight.

We relapse. We beat ourselves up. A new cycle begins.

Here's Why Dieting Isn't Bad Practice
It was recently brought to my attention, that I see dieting in a completely different way to just about anyone else in my life. I’d been told that diet is a bad word and a bad practice. Of course around this time of year, you tend to see more people signing up for gym memberships and discussing their weight. Just like about everyone else, I’d decided to go back to the diet I was on during the summer—an idea that the people around me completely misunderstood.

Exercise Challenge (Pt. 7)
The first month of my challenge is over and I feel great!! This is the first time in my life that I have purposefully exercised for a month straight. Sure, I take a day off each week but I still move around my house on those days unless I am in too much pain to move. The pride I feel in myself for sticking with this is overwhelming! I am starting to notice tiny changes in the way my body looks. My double chin has shrunk, my waist feels a little bit smaller and my muscles feel stronger. I love that I am able to notice these changes in just one month! With that being said, here are the last few days of the month of January!

Give Up the Guilt
Eating disorders and disordered eating are widespread problems in our modern-day society. While it can be important to know that what we eat directly affects our bodies, it can also lead to negative thoughts including guilt, and guilt can be one of the most damaging emotions a person can have. We hear about guilt "eating away" at someone, which can be a metaphor, but can also become very literal. As a nutritionist and someone working in the fitness industry, I do my very best to eliminate the negatives around our health and focus on the positive.
