It’s that time of year again - the day when we all scramble to make those extraordinary plans for our significant others and for our kids to show just how much we care about them.
Valentine’s Day. And if you're the type who waits for the last minute, you might be feeling a little bit of stress trying to find the perfect gift or make those wonderful romantic plans.
Many of our new clients tell us that when they embarked on a New Year’s Resolutions to follow a strict diet, they actually did see results. But only at first.
They admit that after the first week or so, they tend to give in to temptation because they no longer can deal with the relentless hunger pangs.
Have you ever wondered why kids give us such a hard time about eating their veggies?
New research published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (previously known as the Journal of the American Dietetic Association) sheds some light on the issue.
One of the best things that we can do to help moms to keep their wellness New Year's Resolutions is to share some healthy dinner ideas based on the classic, well-known dinners that we all love!
We're sure that when we share this next dinner item with you, most of you will agree that is a common dinner meal in your home: PIZZA!
Who doesn’t want to look tighter, leaner and stronger? We certainly do, and if you’re anything like our friends, our clients, or most people we know, you probably do too!
That’s why it’s no surprise that the majority of us start out the New Year with the resolution to step up our exercise routines so that we can look better and be healthier.
If you’ve ever headed out to a holiday party concerned that there will only be calorie-laden options, you’re not alone. In fact, this is one of our clients’ biggest holiday concerns.
But don't fret - there are plenty of ways to guarantee that you'll have food choices that won't set you back hundreds or thousands of calories.
Several days ago we shared nine strategies that we employ to make sure we don’t put on the holiday pounds while still enjoying Thanksgiving Day feasts. And today we have the calorie lowdown, so you can see how many calories you’ll save by making the better choice.

For as long as we can remember, the end of Halloween has signaled that it's time to begin preparing for Thanksgiving.
As you may know by now from our other Halloween blogs, we are huge fans of Halloween-- everything from the fun costumes, the playful spirits during this time of year to the smell of Halloween candy in the plastic jack-o-lanterns excites us.
As registered dietitians, we’re always looking for new ways to be creative and ways for our kids (and nieces) to be healthier while still having fun during one of the greatest holidays.
As fall gets into full swing, we can't help but be super excited for one of our favorite holidays, HALLOWEEN!
When we were kids, we used to love to trick-or-treat and now with children and nieces of our own, we are really looking forward to sharing this fun day with them. But don't get too scared... just because it's Halloween doesn't mean we feed them with endless amounts of candy and unhealthy snacks!
