6 Foods with Healthy Alternatives

Food cravings are time and time again a topic that comes up with weight gain. Its a big issue. I, myself, have an intense craving for peanut butter pretty much throughout the day. I find myself going to the peanut butter jar often and scooping out a little spoonful just to satisfy my craving… thats not good! At least I only purchase peanut butter without any additives like sugar or salt – just peanuts ground up, thats all! Anyway, the point is that we all have cravings and usually it tends to be for something we really shouldn’t be eating if were trying to lose weight.

I want to share with you a healthy list of alternatives to foods that we crave or just foods that we eat often. Here’s to Clean Eating.

Pre and Post Work-out Fuel Recipes + Circuit Workout Routine

Working out is hard to do. First it takes the motivation to get out there and do it, and then it takes the energy to get the most out of it. I have talked about motivation in a previous post here. But for energy, we need fuel – and that fuel is food, of course. But not just any food. Certain foods are great for providing work-out fuel. And I am going to share with you a couple recipes for pre or post workout fuel. These recipes are also found in our Flat Belly Diet Coach App for iPhone. The first is one of my absolute favorites, toast with nut butter and banana slices! I’ve been munching on this since I was a kid and its super tasty and full of carbs, healthy fats and protein.

You Are What You Eat – Guide to Genetically Modified Foods (GMOs)

There are many different diets out there. Diets to lose weight, diets to watch your sodium intake, diets that are good for your heart, diets for anti-again and many more. There are also diets that are more lifestyle eating plan specific such as raw food diet, vegan diet, and eating clean diet. I have been really interested in eating clean lately. With all the artificial flavors, colors, additives and chemicals being put in our foods, its really got me worried. Then we come to how our food is processed and sold to us and that makes me worry even more! That brings me to GMO (genetically modified organism) foods and non-organic foods.

GMO’s are foods that have been altered using genetic engineering techniques. There are many questions raised these days on wether or not they are safe to eat and many protests [...]
