One of the hardest things about making changes to your diet is trying to fight the temptation that comes with eating healthier. If you are celebrating a birthday, you’ll want to enjoy a piece of cake. If it is Thanksgiving, you’ll want a piece (or two) of pie.

In our time starved world the last thing we want to do is waste time trying to lose weight. You put the effort in…you want to see results.

Then we were told that it’s important we eat some "good" fats, but to stay away from "bad" fats. And no matter what, never, ever eat trans fats...

Well, despite being a calorie friendly beverage there is mounting evidence that they...

There are the undeniable signs, wet towels strewn about, goggles on the floor, the smell of sunscreen in the air...no doubt about it, pool season has begun!
