You’ve heard of Veganism, Paleo, Keto, Intermittent Fasting but what is the best diet for you based on your DNA? Turns out, if you’ve taken a genetic test from 23andMe or Ancestry.com, you can find out pretty quick. Sort of. Recently, DNA Diet Plan reached out to me to test their services. The DNA Diet […]

When I used to diet for photoshoots in my 20’s, I would always reward myself with a treat at the end. Slowly, the weight that I lost would creep back on until the next shoot. I was so self conscious if I wasn’t in my top shape but it was hard to maintain because I […]

I love seafood. It’s definitely my protein of choice for taste and nutrition. Eating fish during pregnancy benefits children’s brain development as well as increases your chances of carrying your baby to term. A study at Harvard even found that eating 2 servings per week of omega-3 rich fish lowered risk of dying from coronary […]

It’s summer, people like to let loose and have fun. Maybe you worked hard for your bikini body, or maybe you just gave birth to a baby, regardless, you want to feel good. Not long ago, I shared a video that I thought gave insight into how I overcame my own food guilt. You guys told […]

This post is sponsored by Stop & Shop. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Grocery shopping is overwhelming. I rarely bring a list which isn’t always the smartest option but it allows me flexibility to buy what’s on sale and in season. I’m also always eager to try new foods, especially if they are […]

There are so many lists online with what you should and shouldn’t do when you’re pregnant. Personally, I think most of them are overrated. This isn’t one of those lists. Don’t eat sushi, they say. I don’t eat raw fish because I have gotten food poisoning from eating raw oysters and it was worse than […]

I know a lot of people who are guilty of saying “I was bad, I ordered the ice cream sundae.” You ordered ice-cream mom, you didn’t kill anyone! I used to associate eating “guilty/comfort” foods with being bad and it took a toll on my self esteem for years. It caused stress and anxiety. I’ve […]
