The Truth About Halloween Candy, Plus Healthy Alternatives

With Halloween just a couple days away I thought I’d talk a little about candy! Pretty much everyone loves candy. Chocolate bars (snickers, baby ruth, butterfinger), lollypops, licorice, tootsie rolls, skittles, m&m’s, smarties, peanut butter cups… the list goes on and on. It’s so easy to come across candy this time of year. People generously give it away everywhere you go: doctors office, movie rental store, your work office kitchen, rental agency, and even the dentists office! It’s so hard to follow your diet when all this temptation is around right?

I have already pointed out in previous posts that I am not against a little treat here and there, BUT, I highly recommend staying away from commercial Halloween candy. There are so many other sweet treats you can enjoy that aren’t full of artificial flavors, artificial colors, hydrogenated oils, and other [...]

Look and Feel Good Around the Holidays

First off I want to say Happy (early) Halloween! It’s my favorite time of year!

But it is also a sort of scary time of year, and I am not talking about ghouls and goblins scary! One thing that most fear around this time of year is gaining weight… first we have the abundance of sweet stuff surrounding us with Halloween candy, cookies, and other treats. The shorter and colder days – leads us to be more lazy with exercise. And of course the other holidays coming up that are full of family get togethers that always consist of eating lots of rich, tasty meals and the largest assortment of desserts you’ve ever seen! “How do we get past this without gaining weight?” you might ask. Well, everyone is different and there is no one answer to that question.

If you’re lucky, you [...]

Introducing the Blood Type Food Guide App!

Were happy to announce the release of our newest app – Blood Type Food Guide. It will help you to discover which foods are good for your blood type.

According to this diet plan, health issues such as infections, allergies, bloating, weight gain, lethargy, and even diseases such as heart disease or cancer are all caused by what you eat.  Our bodies react to certain foods and can cause negative chemical reactions when we eat foods that are incompatible with our blood type – which in turn results in many bad health issues listed above.

This app has quick-start diet overview, information for all blood types, extensive food list for every blood type (these lists are sortable & searchable for easy discovery), [...]

Pre and Post Work-out Fuel Recipes + Circuit Workout Routine

Working out is hard to do. First it takes the motivation to get out there and do it, and then it takes the energy to get the most out of it. I have talked about motivation in a previous post here. But for energy, we need fuel – and that fuel is food, of course. But not just any food. Certain foods are great for providing work-out fuel. And I am going to share with you a couple recipes for pre or post workout fuel. These recipes are also found in our Flat Belly Diet Coach App for iPhone. The first is one of my absolute favorites, toast with nut butter and banana slices! I’ve been munching on this since I was a kid and its super tasty and full of carbs, healthy fats and protein. The cool thing about nut butter toast is you can do any kind of [...]
