Nutritional psychology is a subject I stumbled upon on social media – of all places – and that sent me into a massive online rabbit hole to better understand what it’s all about. Keeping in mind that even with all my best googling, I’m still eons from becoming an expert, I still thought this topic was fascinating enough that I wanted to share it.
I’m still in early days when it comes to recording keto diet results. Feels like I’ve been doing this for quite some time, but I’m still only several weeks in. Still, I’d like to share what my progress looks like so far.
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I gave keto dieting a try and gave up on it back in April. That said, after discussing the issue with a few friends who love this type of high-fat diet and the results it’s getting them, I got some handy...
If you want to lose weight, you can usually bank on cutting calories and exercising as your main two strategies. That said, if you’re doing it because you actually want to be healthy, then you’re going to have to pay attention to a lot more than that. Ever heard of...
I’ve always been a “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” person. Even in my last year of high school when I was skipping breakfast every morning so I could get fifteen more minutes of sleep, I still believed it was the most important. I’d always been...
It wasn’t until I started blogging that I really realized the difference that inspiration and motivation makes to weight loss. It doesn’t do it on its own, of course. If I sit at home eating cupcakes and feeling inspired, it’s not like the fat just melts off my body....
The top recommended weight loss products list is continuously updated to bring you the most up-to-date list possible! I’ve assembled some of the best tools to help you to get more out of your strategy. The better equipped you are, the more you’ll be able to reach your...
We might not like to hear it, but if we really want to lose weight and keep it off, we need to think about changing habits central to our lives. This doesn’t just mean changes for a weekend during a fad diet. It means we need to stop doing some of the things that are...
Weight loss is hard. That said, when you reach your goal, it feels as though you’ve done something enormous – and you have! You’ve looked your challenge in the eye, and you’ve shown it who’s boss. This is what makes it feel absolutely devastating when the weight comes...
You work in a friendly workplace where someone is always making sure there are delicious snacks in the break room. That darling woman in the cubicle three rows down always brings enough of her homemade biscotti (from her Nona’s recipe) for everyone. The social...
Weight loss shakes are marketed as a fantastic option to help keep your calories, hunger, and macronutrients under control. I’ve used them in the past, though I stopped doing that when I started to try to put more whole foods in my life. When you make enough smoothies...
Just because a diet is trendy, doesn’t mean it’s effective. Just because your favorite celebrity does it, it doesn’t mean it’s safe. Let’s get real. This isn’t really news to any of us. Still, we fall for these diets, products and off-the-wall tactics now and again....
When I was growing up, if I whined to my mother about being hungry, she’d tell me to eat fruit. Typically, that meant that I should have an apple. Apples were a staple in my house. Even if we were out of just about everything, we always had milk, bread, potatoes and...
Cryotherapy for weight loss and other things is one of the hottest new wellness trends. There are lots of different claims floating around regarding its use. Some say it gives them more energy. Some say it boosts their immune system. Others say it helps with weight...
For reasons I’m not going to get into in this blog (maybe I’ll get into it another day, but I don’t want this post to be miles long), I have been going through a struggle with hypoglycemia. That essentially refers to having blood sugar levels that are lower than...
It’s never easy watching someone you care about struggle with weight loss. It’s downright discouraging not knowing how to help others lose weight when all you want is to support them in their efforts and see them succeed. Likewise, it’s not easy being the dieter,...
Friendships can be fantastic when it comes to keeping you from making a dieting mistake. The support you get from those who are closest to you can provide you with the motivation you need to keep going, while strengthening you to sidestep many of the temptations you...
The metabolism is a funny thing. After all, it’s not like a specific organ that you can point to like your heart or lungs. It’s not even like a circulatory system where you can track the veins throughout your body. It’s more of a combination of processes than an...
Binge eating is a dangerous activity regardless of whether you’re trying to lose weight, trying to live a healthier lifestyle or are simply going about your daily life. No matter what you’re strategy may be – or even if you don’t have one – binge eating can be...
You’ve likely heard that one of the best ways to lose weight effectively is to build a support system for yourself or even to diet with a buddy. A buddy system can be tremendously motivating. You can help each other to stay on track, share struggles, celebrate...
As much as we are always moving forward and trying to find the latest celebrity strategy or scientifically proven technique to help us to lose weight, sometimes those old school tips we’ve been hearing about since the dawn of time are actually among the most...
Dieting just isn’t fun. The idea of being able to drink a tea and watch our bodies shrink down to where we want them to be is extremely appealing. However, is it truly realistic? Should we believe companies when they tell us we can sip our way thin by way of a...
