Like most working girls, I am always busy and on the go, which sometimes makes eating healthy a challenge! I pre-pack my meals to ensure that I’m getting all the proper nutrients throughout the day, and one of my favorite things to throw in my bag are nutrition and protein bars.

I’ve had my share of protein bars that not only didn’t taste very good, but that were loaded with sugar and fat. On May 4th, at the EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women, I was lucky enough to get a taste of thinkThin® protein bars and I fell in love!

These bars are DELICIOUS, with little to no sugar, and are packed with protein to keep you satisfied while you’re out living life. My favorite of the thinkThin® line were the Divine Mint Chocolate Coconut bars. It was the perfect after-dinner treat that I enjoyed guilt-free!

I’ll be purchasing more of these during my next grocery run to keep in my bag for those unexpected moments when hunger strikes! Try them out and let me know if you love them too!

Going on a diet can be such a pain. We feel deprived and unhappy because we have to replace the foods we love with green leafy stuff. All of this strife because someone claimed that eating greens is the only way to lose weight!

One of the most resented diets is The Low Carb/No Carb Diet. Read: No BREAD, No SUGAR (aka CHOCOLATE) and No Cake! What this diet forgot to mention is that there are carbs that are actually good for you. Here’s the breakdown of simple vs complex carbohydrates.

March is National Nutrition Month and our goal is to arm you with as much information as possible so you will know your stuff in the grocery store, in the kitchen and at the restaurant!

Everyday Eating For A Healthier You

If you’re trying to be a healthier person in 2013, the first thing you need to do is balance your calories with physical activity. And that doesn’t mean if you run on the treadmill you can have donuts for lunch, you’ll still need to eat healthy. Try to eat more whole grains, vegetables, fruits and seafood. These groups will help you feel full without turning to less healthy options. Did you know that Americans attribute more than one-third of their calories to solid fats and added sugars? Try to reduce your intake of solid and trans fat and replace them with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Liquid vegetable oils like canola, peanut, olive, and snack foods like olives, avocados, nuts and seeds are loaded with good fats. Snack away!
