How to Recover from an OOPS Eating Day.
So I'm on a short vacation. Wednesday to Saturday. Sat down in a Wolfgang Puck restaurant and ordered very well -- seared salmon with an interesting risotto. I'd never eaten risotto, but I've seen the interesting rice dish prepared many times on Bravo's television show, Top Chef. I know, I live in the nation's capital and I'm sure some restaurant in Washington, DC presents a risotto dish but hey, it's vacay. Anyway, after the EXCELLENT lunch, I agreed to share Puck's chocolate beignet's with raspberry sauce with a friend. Exquisite. Delish. No

Snack Time: Healthy Ice Cream Alternative
So is it getting warmer where you live? If you're like me, as soon as I feel the sun beam down on my arms -- even a little bit -- words like "Rita" "Haagen-Daz" "Slurpee" and "Coldstone" rise up in my spirit. So yeah

How Important is Protein to Build Muscle?
I was talking to a new client who is vegetarian today and did a bit of research for him. Thought I'd address the matter of protein consumption for all. Muscles are made up of protein and are an important element of every cell in our body. Like water, protein makes up a large part of the body -- even our nails and hair are mostly protein. Protein is an important building block not only for our muscles but bones, cartilage, skin, and blood. If you don’t get enough protein in your diet
Google Launches New Recipe Finder
Yesterday, Google launched a new search feature that allows you to search for recipes with ease. On the left hand bar, the new “recipe” feature will return only the results that are recipes. What’s even better is that you can filter these searches by cook times, calories and even to include or exclude certain ingredients. Of course, you put even more qualifications into the normal search bar, from diet program to celebrity chief. I may cook a little more than my baked fished/raw spinach specialty now! What will you be looking

Sugar: The Bitter Truth
Change your life and sit through this workshop. I watched this in September and today and it revolutionized my thinking on Sugar. To download for later watching, there's a "download" button below the video on the actual YouTube page. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM]
sucre. sugar. sweet.
limit your sugar intake. high-fructose corn syrup. sucrose 'aka' table sugar. additives such as sucralose. other preservatives contain it. it's hidden everywhere. check the nutrition facts on your foods. that includes JUICE. drinking a glass of orange juice is like eating 8 oranges in one sitting -- sweet, syrupy, yummy, "all-natural", sugar-added, fattening juice. it's rarely just juice. one cup of pepsi has 28 grams of sugar and a cup of orange juice has 22 grams of sugar. no one should stop eating fruit for fear of fructose (natural sugar)
