It's hard to love your body when it's bursting at the seams of your pants. Good thing today is the first day I can use my $30 off a $100 purchase at Banana Republic. I'm on the hunt for stretch-...

Today is Food Day , created by Center for Science in the Public Interest , and to a foodie dietitian like myself, it's as exciting as Christmas Eve (even after learning who "Santa" really is!).�...

Like I mentioned in my last post  FNCE was an eye-opening, shameless display of the influence Big (Processed) Food has on "educating" fellow health professionals and how to spin a message in the...
