What You Should Eat This Fall

/0 Comments/in /by

Fall is the best season for fruits and vegetables! And, since eating seasonally is so important for your health, read on to see what you should eat this fall.

Fall has always been my favorite season. Since I was a child, I always loved the way the energy felt as soon as September hit. Back then, I was one of those geeks who loved shopping for school supplies and was happy summer was ending. And, when I became a parent, I relived those days through my kids (even though I was much happier than they were to organize their school supplies)…

Today, I still love fall. But now, instead of it being about school supplies and new school clothes, it’s all about the food. And oh my, the abundance of great fruits and veggies never disappoints.

If you don’t usually spend time at your local farmers market, you just have …

The Least Painful Way To Do A Detox Diet

/2 Comments/in /by

Okay. You’re ready. Today is day one. You are going to eat clean but first you need to detox. There are many ways to do this, but this is the least painful way to do a detox diet… and you may even enjoy it!

Just the word “detox” makes people uncomfortable. Years ago, detox was a word that was only used in conjunction with drug or alcohol indulgence. It makes total sense — if you think about it — that the detoxification process should be applied to foods too.

I mean, if food is medicine — which it is — that if you ingest the wrong foods/medicines, you will need to get these out of your system, just like you would have to get drugs and alcohol out of your system.

You may not want to hear this, but detoxing from foods can be as challenging as detoxing from other …

Nobody likes being hungry. And when you are on a restrictive diet, your hunger pangs seem to get worse.  Keep reading to learn 2 things to help you lose weight without being hungry.

You’re all ready to start your new food plan. Today is Day One. You are pumped. You stock your fridge and your pantry with all of the right things. You’ve read up on your plan and you are following an expert’s advice. You made it through breakfast and all is right with the world.

It’s 11:00 am. And you are starving.

Part of this may be because you really are restricting your calories.

Part of this may be in your mind… I mean, let’s face it, as soon as your brain knows you are “dieting”, all you want is the food you shouldn’t be having.

And, part of it may be that you are not moving …

7 Sweeteners That Are Actually Healthy

Artificial sweeteners are terrible for you. White sugar is bad also. So, which sweeteners can you use? Keep reading for the 7 sweeteners that are actually healthy.

Most of the times when I write these articles to help you with what’s healthy and what’s not, it’s pretty cut and dried. I usually know, without a doubt, what to include on the healthy list. I’m going to tell you up front right now, that this one is not so simple. There are lots of differing opinions and so many different research studies…

If I were writing about the six sweeteners you can use, I’d be 100 percent sure of my list. It’s the 7th sweetener on the list that causes me issue.

I like to use food as fuel; food as medicine. And, with the first 6 sweeteners on this list, that’s exactly the case. They are fantastic. They taste great. …

5 Health Benefits Of Yams And Sweet Potatoes

/4 Comments/in /by

Some vegetables are delicious and other vegetables are healing. These tubers are both! Keep reading to learn about the top 5 health benefits of yams and sweet potatoes…

There are lots of vegetables that we eat just because we know we should. Just because they are healthy. Just because the research shows that you just have to eat them.

Sweet potatoes and yams do not fall into this category. Nobody has to force or convince you to eat a yam or a sweet potato.  I think you’d be hard pressed to find too many people who are eating these root veggies just because they are healthy. In fact, I don’t think I’d be exaggerating if I said that whenever you see someone eating a sweet potato or a yam, they are eating it — relishing it with gusto —  because it’s delicious.

It’s a great perk that …

I am of the belief that there is no reason for anyone to eat a lot of grains. Certainly, there is no reason to ever eat unhealthy, unsprouted flours and grains. Okay, I realize that maybe I’m going a little overboard here…
