I’ve always been interested in cooking. As a child, I remember watching the Galloping Gourmet with my mom after school. It was the drunk version – the host enjoyed QUITE a few glasses of wine and the show was very entertaining. Later the host became a health nut and the show became humourless. Read More→
March is Nutrition Month and when I read this blog, it really resonated with me. Tovita Nutrition is the brain-child of Leah Silberman & Molly Rieger , who are registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) practicing in Manhattan. Both achieved undergraduate degrees in science and health. Thanks to both them for allowing us to re-post this interesting take on nutrition bars.
I’m going to give it to you straight: I believe that bars are really a last resort option. You’ve entirely run out of snacks, you’re stuck in a 4 hour meeting, airplane food grosses you out, or eating on the subway makes you feel awkward. See what I’m saying? We live in a world where real, whole, and natural foods are generally ubiquitous. If you have the opportunity to design your meals and snacks, why settle for often processed ingredients, loads of fat, or excess sugar?
…. But I also understand that the aforementioned situations really do happen. If you’ve ever been stuck in a meeting or taken a really long flight or have been caught in some “emergency” situation that prevents you from eating real food, bars can be the most convenient option. So I’m going to help you make the best decision you possibly can for the next time your boss holds you hostage in a meeting.

Whether you want to eat healthier, become more active or quit smoking, you will need some support: from your family, your co-workers or trained professionals. And even though our expectations seem reasonable to us, others may see things differently.
For instance, you may want to eat healthier but your family may not be on board and in fact may consciously or unconsciously try to sabotage you. Remember, that in most cultures, food is love and changes to eating patterns can threaten long established social patterns. Conflict arises and you many fall back into old patterns to “keep the peace” so to speak.
Probably one of the most common New Year’s resolutions is to eat healthier. For some people, the goal can seem overwhelming, if they are the food providers for a family with different tastes. Below is a list of ten small diet changes that you can make that will have the most impact on your health. Read More→

Massive Expectations
Many beginners start with the idea of making great progress in a short period of time (such as a major weight loss goal). Sadly, this too often leads to frustration. Instead, break your massive goal into smaller, attainable steps. Building these steps will help build confidence, and get you closer to your goal. Read More→
