    Protein Rich Foods For Your Getting Healthy Plan

    April 28, 2021

    If you are like me, you are looking for easy ways to get more healthy and protein is a key component in your plan. Now, there are multiple areas of your lifestyle that you can focus on to achieve this, but one of the most important (that will likely have the biggest and most noticeable impact) is your diet. Throughout lockdown, many of us have started eating unhealthier foods on a day to day basis. Whether you are eating out of comfort or convenience, you need to change your ways before it gets out of control. Making immediate changes, like eating a balanced diet,  ensure you’re providing your body with…

    Step 3: Perfect Portions for Weight Loss

    October 3, 2018

    Portion control is personally, my most frustrating issue with weight loss.  Usually, when I taste something really good, I eat as I will never have the opportunity to eat it again.  Of course, that is the wrong mentality.  Eating at home, I can always repeat a delicious meal or eat leftovers. However, what about when you are putting the food on the plate?  From step 1, we learned to keep the food in the kitchen, don’t bring it to the table; so you can avoid those disastrous second helpings. In step 3, I am learning how to “guesstimate” portions, so I can eat meals and snacks with the right amount…

    Lightlife’s Savory Plant-Based Food Innovations

    February 8, 2018

    As I mentioned at the beginning of the year, one of the biggest food trends for 2018 will be the expansion of plant-based food innovations, such as plant protein sources and Lightlife is one of the pioneers. Read my Food Trends for 2018 article here Plant-based diets are dominating the food world.  Several manufactures are diving head first into using science to manipulate plant-based ingredients resulting as innovative products. Lightlife uses plant proteins, such as soy and beans to create delicious, healthy food choices for those wanting to steer away from meat based protein sources. What is Lightlife? In 1979, Lightlife was created to provide protein alternatives to vegetarians.  However,…

    5 Ways the Potato Can Be Healthy Food

    April 6, 2017

    Making a Potato Healthy Recent research has determined THE POTATO can be healthy.  At only 110 calories for one medium russet potato, they are high in fiber, calcium and potassium.  If cooked properly, they can help lower blood sugar levels. The key to lowering blood sugar, while still enjoying the fluffy, creamy potato, is to accompany your ‘tater with “spud buddies.”  Coined by America’s Test Kitchen, “spud buddies”  are blood sugar helpers which prevent rapid glucose absorption. A List of 5 Spud Buddies 1.Add avocado as a GOOD FAT.   Mash up an avocado and place on top of a baked potato instead of butter or sour cream.   2.Include an…

    Sidewall Pizza is Popular in Travelers Rest

    February 9, 2017

    I love dining at locally owned restaurants and Sidewall Pizza is a prime example.  A popular restaurant before I relocated to the Upstate, they now have 2 locations. Known for FULL-SIZE, loaded pizzas…you will never go away hungry at this establishment. This place is always hopping.  With its simplistic exterior and casual setting, it is a great spot for cyclist to stop and dine.  Complete with bike racks, it sits adjacent to the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail.  For those readers not familiar with the Upstate, the trail is a 21 mile multi-use green-way system that runs along the Reedy River connecting Greenville County with schools, parks, and local…
