So often we get asked- what are some good snack ideas? When you switch over to eating like we teach you to eat, you have a rethink snacks and realize it’s just a smaller version of your meals. You need to get away from the chips, crackers, pretzels, cookies, and granola bars mentality for snacks. […]
I’m pretty sure I could eat just about the same thing day after day for breakfast but I know not everyone is in that same boat! I personally eat 3 eggs and some kind of veggies almost everyday…maybe some bacon added in there on the weekends 🙂 I usually just take whatever veggies I have […]
I want to start out this post by making it clear that I am not by any means bashing or downplaying Registered Dietitians. There are many good ones out there doing good work. However, I want to simply share my journey, my experience, and share with you why I didn’t take that route. I started […]

The good news is that you can approach things at your own pace, set personal goals and make simple shifts along the way; all of which will drastically improve your […]
Like most people, I love my morning cup of coffee. I love it even more when there is some great flavor added to it. The problem is, just about every coffee sweetener is terribly unhealthy.

I’ve had a few parents recently show me what kid snacks schools are recommending they pack. It’s truly unfortunate how poor the recommendations are. For example….. – Cereals like Kix, Cheerios, and Fruit Loops. I looked up the Fruit Loops label quick and what you get is refined grains, added sugars, trans fats, synthetic vitamins, […]
