A healthy recipe to impress your guests
Two years ago I did The Food Lover's Cleanse, from Bon Appetit magazine. The cleanse was a two-week meal plan created by Bon Appetit dieticians and launched every January. I discovered this cleanse on their website in the nick-of-time because 2016 was the last year they offered it. You could follow the plan at no charge, which is perhaps why it stopped, to give your health a kickstart for the New Year. The cleanse promised to be delicious, to result in a safe amount of weight loss, and to leave the body feeling nourished and cleansed of all the post-holiday treats. Did it live up to its promise?

How to stay motivated during the winter months
We're in the heart of Autumn and Winter is knocking on our door. We're layering up to combat the cold, replacing our salads with soup, and for some of us, we might be replacing our gym shoes with slippers. This is when we need to stop and say "No thank you, Winter! I'm going to stay healthy all year round!" As with many things in life, easier said than done.

How to make heads or tails of all the diets out there
Atkins diet, Paleo diet, Ketogenic diet, Military diet, fasting, grapefruit diet, etc. etc. etc. The list is as endless as are their claims. Very persuasive, healthy, and fit individuals appear on YouTube, Facebook, TV and magazines preaching their latest and greatest diet and insist that in order to better yourself and improve your lifestyle, you need to adopt this diet. On a certain level they're right.
