eat fat.

Most girls today grow up dreaming to one day awake and find themselves as thin as all the hottest stars. Most girls also grow up surrounded by the same media and food industry which tells us to stay as far away as possible from anything remotely containing an ounce of fat and to carelessly gobble … Continue reading →

belly-full breakfast

I have simply had enough of people unabashedly admitting to skipping breakfast, instead guzzling an acidic cup of black coffee, or even worse, an empty-calorie laden venti mocha-caramel-fudge-drizzled-extra-shot-of-whipped-cream frappuccino (I just made that up quite clearly, but its just as scary as some of the things you people call breakfast!). Breakfast is the most essential … Continue reading →

simple slim-down plan

I can say with the utmost certainty that most everyone, at one point or another in their lives, has hit a point of feeling discontent with their appearance. Even if this does make our society sound rather vain, which actually may not be too far from the truth (c’mon, lets not lie here!), we have … Continue reading →

fit foods on the go

We are all busy. We are all tired. We are all overworked. (Well, hopefully this is actually just a gross exaggeration on my behalf to create an overly dramatic introduction.) The last thing we want to do is pour more of our finite supply of time and energy (and money!) into eating healthy during the … Continue reading →

food commandments revisited

Awhile back, I wrote a post on my “food commandments”, or what, at that time, I thought were important ways to think about food. After I have grown older (okay, only 6 months or so…) and wiser (this one is actually somewhat true, yet I prefer to stay somewhat humble about it), I wanted share … Continue reading →

Instead of using highly processed bread and high-fructose corn syrup injected jelly from the store – grab some freshly baked whole grain, seeded bread from a local bakery, all natural peanut butter, and fresh BERRIES to replace that nasty wonder bread and smucker’s jelly. This breakfast will keep you full, keep you healthy and keep … Continue reading →

breakfast for champions : quinoa

I got sick of oatmeal. And I got sick of the incessant hunger which seemed to strike despite my incessant consumption of cereal. Even the allegedly “healthy”, protein and fiber packed, “natural” cereals. Which by the way undergo an extremely unnerving processing process (details of which I will haunt you with at a later point … Continue reading →

post-thanksgiving weekend blues

As I reflect upon the disgusting gluttonous-ness known to most Americans as Thanksgiving, a day of recognition and awareness of our country’s historical roots and a day of abandonment, neglect and disregard for our body’s health, I can still feel echoes of the stomach pains and general lack of energy and nutrition which I unfortunately … Continue reading →

you really, really, really are what you eat. its not just an old wive’s tale.

Photo courtesy of http://www.rawfooddietmenu.com It is inconceivable, and actually somewhat comical, though still disheartening, that individuals today, with all their intelligence and technology, have still failed to comprehend one of the most simple facts out there. And yes, I am proclaiming this to be a fact. A fact based on scientific research. This fact is … Continue reading →
