If you’re like most Americans you probably skip breakfast and curb your hunger with a big cup – or pot – of coffee, and you likely don’t eat your first meal until lunchtime. You might get a few sips of water in here, or you’ll suck down a diet soda thinking you’re saving yourself calories and being healthy about your choice of beverage.
Here are some excellent tips to help…

I was on a cooking and baking binge last night where I made dinner followed by dessert – Chicken Scampi and protein cookies! Both are low calorie, low carb, low fat, and high protein – and guess what? They taste DELICIOUS!
Chicken Scampi
Here’s what you’ll need:
1.25lbs chicken (I got boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders)
¼ cup white cooking wine
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tbsp parmesan…

Find a photo on your phone’s internet and save it. Set it as your wallpaper to inspire you.

This article is dedicated to “those” people. I am one of “those” people. I’m the person who orders dressing on the side. I don’t drink soda, my fridge is full of produce, and I haven’t eaten a King size candy bar in….well, ever. I’m the person who’s conscious of what I eat and try to make good healthy decisions… most of the time. If you are like me, one of…
Following a low-carb diet can be hard, and at times leave you feeling deprived of some of your favorite comfort foods. I have always had a sweet tooth, so for me, finding lower carbohydrate/sugar alternatives to my favorite baked goods has been a down-right mission! After carousing a few Paleo-friendly cooking websites, I started to notice that many of the baking recipes shared a common ingredient: coconut flour. I had…

Don’t you hate it when you eat breakfast and two hours later you’re stomach is rumbling? I’ve found the best way to stay satisfied through the morning is to include both fiber-rich whole grains and lean protein to my breakfast. When egg whites and wheat toast start to bore me, I gravitate towards oatmeal. While I sometimes add peanut butter/nuts to my oatmeal, until recently I couldn’t think of another…
Like a good parent should, my Mom always told me to eat my vegetables. I never disliked vegetables, and now as an adult I have learned to appreciate a wide variety and love learning new ways to prepare them. Living in Hawaii, I have a new found appreciation for Farmer’s markets and eating locally. If you are eating more than one serving of vegetables daily, you are one-step ahead of…

I am actually currently finished my journey, it just took a little while for me to update my blog. Although I did have some slip-ups, I am willing to forgive myself for being human and a whole new-found sympathy goes out to the food allergy sufferers out there, because this journey was not easy…

Sunday is Mother’s Day, and also happens to be one of the busiest restaurant days of the year. This year, instead of calorie-laden pancakes and pastries, treat the special mothers in your life to a home-cooked breakfast made with love and warm your mother’s heart with these heart-healthy dishes.
Spinach & Sun-dried Tomato Frittata:
The frittata is similar to an omelet, but is more filling and dense, like a quiche.…

Millions of Americans are affected by food allergies and intolerances. While I feel lucky to not have many digestive issues, I know that the food we eat affects other parts of our well-being like mood, energy levels, and our appearance. While I learned about food allergies in college, and as a nutrition consultant helped clients handle their food allergies and autoimmune disorders like celiac disease, I was surprised when I revisited…
Let’s face it, going out to eat can get expensive, especially if you’re like me & live in Hawaii! It doesn’t really matter which part of the country you live in, we all share one dining similarity in common…cheap and easy fast food restaurants. If it seems like there is one on every corner, it’s probably because there actually is one on every corner. Even if you never stepped…
A recent study published in The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, proves once again, how important it is to read food labels and be an educated consumer when it comes to the food we eat. The study analyzed the diets of over 1,000 college students and gathered information regarding the frequency the students either read or did not read nutrition labels. The data revealed that those who…
