		<description><![CDATA[I don’t believe in New Year’s resolutions. I mean, think about it. What could possibly happen on January 1 that doesn’t exist on December 31 that makes it possible to make a change that has been on your mind for months? Yet many magazines, TV personalities and the like will be talking about how to stick to these supposed resolutions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The long standing tradition on Halloween is for children to roam the neighborhood dressed up in spooky garb asking neighbors for treats, namely candy. If a treat was not forthcoming, then the children could play a "trick" on that neighbor. With all we know about the negative impact on our health from too much sugar consumption, especially for children, who is really getting tricked in this situation?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who aren’t aware, September 10 was National Swap Ideas Day. While no Congressional decree establishes it, no founder is identified and no presidential proclamation supports its very existence, come on: it’s a darn good idea. So in the spirit of “two heads are better than one,” I’d like to share a couple of handy ideas I’ve come up with over the years to simplify my life in the kitchen--both professionally and in my personal life. At the bottom, you can learn how to share your ideas as well. We can get a conversation going about how problem-solving common household nuisances can leave us more time and energy to do the more enjoyable things in life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A little juice goes a long way - a recommended serving is only 4 oz. Try mixing it with mineral water or seltzer to make the drink go further. Choose only juices with 100% fruit juice, avoiding sweeteners (real and artificial).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John’s recent post on his travels to Italy reminded me of a few things I noticed when I was over there. Italians are very different from Americans in some ways, and it's definitely worth contrasting the two cultures when thinking about public health issues. If I had to guess why there is less obesity, I would agree with John’s points about fresh food and activity, and also add this: Italians have much lower stress than Americans.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I hope we all know by now, there is no magic bullet when it comes to losing weight. The solution is simple, but certainly not easy to do. To lose weight we need to create an imbalance in the body’s caloric energy equation, or in plain English, we need to eat less (calories in) and move our bodies more (calories out). Many weight loss programs promise you won’t be hungry while you are eating less. From my point of view, I am not sure why feeling some amount of hunger is considered such a bad thing. Feeling hungry is a signal we can put to use to help us manage our weight.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People often assume that as a registered dietician I don’t indulge and that I am very strict about my diet. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, I truly believe that indulging in the foods and flavors you crave most is an important part of a healthy diet. I’ll even go so far as to say that wise indulging actually helps you maintain an ideal weight.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recruit_training">Boot camps</a> are certainly one of the hottest trends going on right now. Originally new recruit training for the military, boot camps were intense physical and psychological conditioning programs run with the intention of turning out a "lean, mean, fighting machine." They were also meant to train recruits to obey orders without question, "When I say jump, you ask how high."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m not going to lie. Sometimes, I don’t follow <a href="http://guidingstars.com/fitness-and-weight-loss/3-ways-to-stay-motivated-to-workout-in-late-winter/">my own advice</a>. By the end of the winter, even with a gym membership (and even a free one at the school I coach at!), I struggle getting myself there.   But recently, something amazing happened. Since spring sprung (you know, way back last week), I’ve gotten back into running, and started doing it two or three times a week during lunchtime. Not enough to make me sweat, usually 2 ½-3 ½ milers.  ]]></description>
