Can I have a cheat Day?? I get asked this question a lot. This is what I told someone today when they asked me on Facebook: “I don’t really believe in “cheat” days because it means you are rewarding your good behavior with food. That’s a vicious cycle. However, I’m not opposed to having a […]
I’m not a huge football fan, but when it’s time for the Superbowl I get in the spirit! For most, this usually means eating lots of traditional football and game day foods including wings, dips, fried foods and other things that will sabotage your diet. So, this year – get your own game plan and […]

Tempeh, Arugula and Brussels Sprout Salad Tonight was my first night of Bombshell Bootcamp and Carrie and I thought it went great! But, I didn’t get home until after 8pm – but I knew ahead of time my dinner would be late. To avoid eating a huge meal after 8-9pm, I planned ahead and had […]
Each week, the winner of the ExerciseTV and SocialWorkout challenge gets to ask me their top 3 fitness questions and help me chose a topic/exercise for an upcoming video.

Hi guys! I’m getting asked a lot of good questions as part of my weekly “Breakfast Club” challenges, so I thought I’d share one from last time.

I’m a huge fan of Jamie Oliver’s “Food Revolution” and agree that conquering obesity in America starts with the younger generation. But, how will kids learn to eat healthy if they are fed a bunch of junk every day at school? This graphic was created by Good Magazine and compares the average prison meal with the […]

Lately, these have been my go-to snacks between breakfast and lunch or lunch/dinner. All three have carbs and protein and are low in sugar.

I bought Alicia Silverstone’s book The Kind Diet a few weeks ago after a friend recommended it. I always thought Alicia was a vegetarian (not eating any meat) but she’s actually vegan (doesn’t eat any animal products including eggs or dairy) so I was interested in how she makes her diet tasty and healthy. Plus, […]
