Expand Your Protein Horizons!
Enjoying a wide variety of protein sources can be a great way to expand your dietary horizons…without expanding your waistline. Vegetarian sources of protein in particular are often overlooked in diet plans for sources such as boneless, skinless chicken breasts. While lean chicken can be a great source of protein, so can an […]
>>Read More and Comment Are Your Carbs Good For You?
Carbs have been the target of some bad advertising in recent years. As the body’s main source of energy, carbohydrates are essential to maintaining a healthy diet. There are plenty of great sources for healthy carb consumption; unfortunately these are often overshadowed by heavily refined, processed carbs that might be packaged to look […]
>>Read More and Comment This Weekend: Go For Sweets!
It goes without saying that sweets are among the foods that dieters miss most. While cutting out sweets is often the fastest way to slash calories from your diet, it’s a tough process and can discourage even the most iron-willed among us. Cutting out sweets completely is hard: we want them, we crave […]
>>Read More and Comment How To Make Your “Off Limits” Foods Into Treats!
When you’re dieting, the urge to make certain foods off-limits, as in, completely banned from the pantry, verboten, flagged with yellow caution tape and stored in the freezer (or tossed in the nearest Dumpster) until the end of your diet, is easy to succumb to. Dieting makes us want to control our eating, […]

Who doesn’t love a good curry? This one comes courtesy of “The Gourmet Vegetarian Slow Cooker” by Lynn Alley (yep, this one’s a slow cooker recipe…drag it out for the last time this winter and look forward to Daylight Savings Time this weekend!) and The Denver Post.

In this post we explore the lighter side of dieting…as in, the one that gets you laughing (hey, anything to burn a few more calories, right?) at the wacky lengths people will go to in their effort to lose weight. Note: If your diet resembles the following five in any way, you may […]
>>Read More and Comment Exercise As A Food Group?
If you think about your diet, as dieters often do, you generally think of some kinds of food groups. You need to get more veggies, eat more whole grains, go easy on the sweets (if you haven’t cut them out completely!), but what about exercise? Where does exercise fit in your overall diet?
It’s […]
Hellooo? Are you there? This is your body speaking…
…and it wants you to know that you’re not really hungry, you’re stressed out or angry or sad or just plain bored. You’re eating in reaction to something that has nothing to do with me! I am your body, and I’m telling you, I’m not hungry. Why are you eating?
All joking aside, really […]
