Since the beginning of human existence, there has been an insatiable desire for food. Of course, back then the issue was when the next meal would be foraged for or speared successfully (with a bow and arrow..not a fork); how long a meager ration of grain would have to support a family's concave bellies. These days, for those people lucky enough, food is so readily available that the issue isn't when we will eat (we do that all the time), but what to eat and where. Women are anxious to fit into their yellow polka dot bikinis, and guys just want a six-pack (abs, I mean..although either interpretation tends to be appropriate here). But, with all those tempting snacks, restaurants with portions of food so immense (though, somehow, so incredibly manageable), sleepless nights that leave you with only enough energy to shovel chunky monkey into your starving (for sleep!!) body, endless hours behind your desk that leave your back sore and butt smooshed flat, and that beatific flat screen with Netflix movies screaming your name; staying healthy is such a chore! Or maybe not...
As a dietitian's-daughter who grew up during a time where eating oatmeal went from being the recipe for being a mega-nerd, to the envy of the diet-obsessed town; I've seen (and tasted..trust me) just about everything. Now that this whole healthy eating thing is "cool" (have you SEEN the number of diet books at Borders lately??!!), I figured I'd spread some of the love(-handle prevention secrets). Want to know which diets are a load of..lard? Looking for a restaurant with food to die for (but not literally)? Considering a new workout regime that's not so boring you'd rather wax your eyebrows (...first thing that came to mind)? I CAN HELP! I swear it. I'm (brutally) honest and I know about some weird-ass stuff (we're talking seaweed soup that kicks gluteus bootius, tofu cheesecake that satisfies even the most maniac sweet tooth, yoga moves that will knock you unconscious and have you sleeping like a baby 'till morning, and about a million other foods, recipes, restaurants, movies, moves, websites, freaky facts etc).
