If you’re planning your next diet and are looking to lose weight to regain your health, you aren’t alone.
In my nutrition practice I often hear potential clients say something like this: “I’ve tried a bunch of diets and they haven’t worked. Can you help me find the right one so I can drop these last 10 pounds?”
These pumpkin pancakes don’t have any gluten, grains, nuts, sugar, or dairy. Wait wait wait, don’t click away! I promise they’re still delicious. They definitely hit the spot, and the pumpkin and spices make them perfect for a cozy warm breakfast. They’re also super easy to make, don’t dirty many dishes, and have just a few ingredients.
This dish is deceptively simple. It only has a few ingredients, but the way the warming spices of the curry meld with the slight sweetness of the squash makes this dish perfectly reminiscent of fall. Plus, I absolutely love the way the slices get so crispy they’re almost like chips.
I’ll be honest, eating healthy can often seem expensive. Like, realllllly expensive. It’s easy to think you can’t eat healthy unless you blow your whole paycheck at Whole Foods. Which is a total bummer, because healthy eating isn’t something that only super rich people can afford to do AND in reality you can eat healthy by shopping in your regular store within a budget that works for you. You just need a little know-how to make it work!
Vacation is the best! Getting sick on vacation is the worst. Which is why I try to never do it.
Over the past year I’ve been experimenting with an array of key supplements to keep me in the game when I’m on the road. In that time I’ve successfully avoided getting sick during one trip to Mexico, two stays in Southeast Asia, and trips to Charleston, Portland, and Phoenix.
So far, so good.
This salad tastes like summer in a bowl. The melon and cucumber are refreshing and juicy, and the herbs give it a deliciously fresh note. With hot weather showing no signs of going away any time soon, it’s the perfect dish for when you’re too sweaty to cook anything.
Summer grilling season is in full swing and if you’re anything like me, you want to hang out with your friends and eat delicious food in the sunshine as often as possible. But maybe you also want that delicious food to be interesting and healthy and made from real ingredients.
Is buying organic fruits and veggies really worth the extra money you’ll have to shell out?
The EPA and most news sites insist there’s no difference between food grown using conventional or organic methods (aka with or without pesticides). Proponents of organic farming and sustainability disagree.
What’s the truth? Will paying extra for organic really change anything in your life?
Ever seen garlic scapes at the farmer’s market or grocery store and thought: “WTF are those?” Same. But after getting them in my CSA box for the last 3 weeks in a row, I couldn’t avoid them any longer.
Stress is the worst. And it’s really difficult to avoid when you’re expected to do it all – you’ve got work pressure, social commitments, and our phones never seem to stop beeping or buzzing. When you’re always “on”, that can start to take a real toll.
