Most of us are juggling kids, work, and still have to feed our families every day. But Weight Watchers has our back. It’s not about dieting—it’s about real-life balance, smart choices, and feeling good in your own skin. No guilt trips, n…
When I was sent a few samples of a vitamin-infused coffee called VitaCup to try out, I was pretty -- okay, wildly skeptical. For me, coffee has to taste good above all, because I'm drinking so darn much of it. Especially now when I'm wak…
When Kristen shared Alie Ward's tweet about the obnoxious mom jeans plates she spotted at Macy's, our team collectively responded on Slack with multiple variations of OMG or its more descriptive cousin, OMGWTF. The Washington Post report…
I know so many people who are eating dairy-free these days: kids with dairy allergies, friends on Whole 30, vegans, and some who are somehow finding themselves a little less tolerant to dairy as they age. ( Ahem , speaking for a friend, …
I turned 40 a little over two years ago, and since then, I have packed on about 25 pounds. Call it stress, hormones, or just eating more than I should, but it happened. I finally got to the point where I wanted to do something about it, …
If your New Year's resolutions have you thinking about healthier eating habits, we have a suggestion: start with small, manageable goals that you can implement for the whole family. One easy place to start is by cutting back on white ric…
It's that time of year when everyone's abuzz about resolutions, healthier eating for the whole family, and let's be honest, at least when it comes to us, a desire to lose weight, whether just a few holiday pounds or that "baby" weight we…
A little over a month ago, I switched my eating habits to a Paleo diet for the long term. I'm viewing my decision as a major shift in the way that I plan on eating for the rest of my life, not a quick-fix way to lose a few pounds. Althou…
With every new year comes a new set of fad diets. And just when it seemed like 2017 was sure to be a stinker, along comes The Taco Cleanse , a new cookbook and eating regimen that will have you eating tacos -- yes, tacos! -- all day, eve…
Several years ago, after three consecutive rounds of antibiotics for strep throat, my older son started having tummy problems every day . When I finally began eliminating foods that might be the culprit, dairy was the first to go. After …
Sugar is like reality TV. It’s everywhere, we know it’s (mostly) bad for us, and we have a love-hate relationship with it. Which explains why refined white sugar is quickly becoming public enemy number one, while the popularity of all na…
I know that it's been a week, but I still can't believe that the holidays are over. 2017? Already?! Even though the month of December flew by at record speed, I somehow still managed to consume an alarming amount of pie, candy, and cooki…
Though I'm more of an everything in moderation person, I can't help but try the occassional diet, especially when friends report outcomes like Kristen's Whole30 diet results . With more than just weight loss at stake -- I also wanted to …
It's the beginning of a new year, which means resolutions to lose weight, eat healthier, yada yada. But when I search through Pinterest or Foodgawker for low calorie recipes and get a page full of salads, it's hard to imagine sticking to…
I have officially made it through the Whole30 diet and have lived to tell you all about it. Over the last month, I've been pretty amazed by both the physical and emotional changes I've experienced. If you're wondering whether the Whole30…
I didn't take my own advice about when to start the Whole30 diet and went on vacation during my third week. Granted, I decided to do the Whole30 after I had scheduled my trip, but I thought that two weeks would give me a good enough star…
If you're like me, you've had at least a friend or more who's done the Whole30 diet and you've been a little curious, but a little hesitant, because let's just say the list of off-limit foods is pretty dang long. But with a recent stomac…
We didn't have a particularly cold winter here in Brooklyn, but I still managed to eat my way through it as though in hibernation. I feel it—and it shows, too—which is why I recently decided it was time to change my diet. When I've made …
After a fall and winter full of eating and not full of working out, a few weeks ago I decided that I needed a reset. My pants hadn't fit in months, my energy levels were terrible, and my moods were swinging like crazy. And with 40 loomin…
Though I hate to admit it, every January I get a burst of motivation to eat more healthfully. I think of myself as being resolution-averse, but in reality, I make resolutions—even of the new year's variety—all the time. It's just the for…
