Eat locally. Eat organic. Which is best if you have the option?
Many people don’t even have an option, so this may not apply to some people, but what if you do?

Healthy. Living healthy. This is all the rage these days – especially at the beginning of the new year.
Think about all the fitness centers and gyms popping up on every corner. What about all the new and fashionable diets you can find out there? Have you ever checked out the health/fitness section at the bookstore?
Crazy full of cookbooks, the latest diet plans and all those must have exercise books.

Reader Question: I’m thinking of trying the ‘grazing’ method of eating that everybody says is healthier than three regular meals a day. Is this healthy?
Answer: Plain and simple – unless you are working out 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, I do not believe grazing is a healthy eating option. There are many reasons behind my thinking, but the top two are: you stop the release and working of the hormone GLUCAGON, which is the fat-burning hormone, and you are causing the hormone INSULIN to be released and in your bloodstream non-stop throughout the day.

There are many different benefits that come from eating a grain free diet – and today I want to touch on three of them.
People always ask if I am against grains – and my answer is simple, no. Of course I’m not. This baffles people since I also like to teach on the benefits of eating a grain free diet.
Seems a bit contradicting, doesn’t it?

Macaroni and Cheese.
This seems to be a staple in the American diet, especially when children are involved.

Don’t you love that eating healthy doesn’t mean boring?
I do!
At first, I didn’t know this. When I first began to change to a healthy eating lifestyle, I had my fair share of bad tasting, bland tasing and flat out gross ‘health’ food! This is where my quest began and I haven’t stopped since.
