When You’re Bad at Goodbyes, You Say ‘See Ya Later’

I still remember sitting in my apartment in California, on the phone to Jenn, brainstorming about a site that would become Fit Bottomed Girls. What started as a fun little side project while we both had full-time jobs grew and grew. Thousands of posts, four websites, two books and a Today Show appearance later, I’m stepping away. As I mentioned yesterday on Fit Bottomed Mamas, it wasn’t a decision I’ve made lightly, but sometimes the right decisions are the hard decisions. I’m not entirely sure what the future will hold for me. For now, my three little kiddos are content to …

Food Wonders: Healthiest Forms Of Fat

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png
http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

James Demedeiros tells us that fat shouldn’t be avoided. It is not the enemy – only if you consume it in its healthiest forms. People have different eating habits and there are some who tend to believe that they need to eradicate fat in their diet. Everything should be labeled low-fat.

However, our bodies really need fat. Scientists have discovered that egg yolks and butter are not all that bad. You just need to be meticulous in choosing the right kind. Check out the list from Men’s Fitness:

5 Fats You Shouldn’t Fear

So you’ve decided to lose weight—and that means getting rid of that stubborn fat that’s been hanging around your midsection. But even as we prepare to shed holiday poounds, many of us struggle to develop new dietary habits. Read more…

Dr. Axe shares that a lot of people are wary about fat intake. We’ve been told that everything that’s low- and non-fat are good and ideal for achieving the body that we want. It appears though that it’s one of the biggest lies ever. Not all of these foods are bad. We just need to consume the ones that are healthy.

Check out Dr. Axe’s list for the ones that can really be beneficial for your body. Some of these help lower bad cholesterol and shed excess weight.

The 5 Best Healthy Fats for Your Body

Are you afraid of fats? If so, you’re not alone. Fat in foods has been vilified in America for the past few decades, as low-fat and non-fat foods became the norm, and we were told that a low-fat diet would help us get the body we want. In fact, it’s one of the biggest nutrition lies that the public’s been told. Read more…

Judy Mouland says that people may still be surprised because of the benefits that you can get from this kind of food. People may still be misled because of the numerous dietary advices that you hear these days. Sometimes, you can’t even decide anymore.

One good example is fat – it has been labeled as the cause of high-cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases. New studies offer hope that these aren’t so bad. There are a lot of advantages when you eat it with the right amount. Let’s check her guide!

The 5 Surprising Benefits of Eating More Fat

“For years it has been painted as an evil monster and the root cause of high cholesterol, heart disease and obesity. But scientific studies now show that there are many benefits of eating more fat, and it’s time we started rethinking this essential part of our dietary regime. Read more…

Take a peek at Dr. Axe’s video about the good kind of fat:

Avoid These Major Mistakes When Endurance Training

http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png
http://ifttt.com/images/no_image_card.png

Take these methods from the pros, and live within these rules so you can stop making major mistakes when endurance training. You can make some progress now.

Men’s Fitness asked an endurance expert to share the mistakes you’re committing during your training. We’ve got tips on how to correct them for a more effective workout session.

People are always looking for ways to improve their endurance and stamina. However, athletes tend to pay attention to running and cycling. There’s no focus on strength. This is where it becomes tricky.

7 Ways To Boost Your Endurance And Stamina

It’s no wonder people are looking to boost their endurance and stamina. With the barrage of obstacle course races popping up across the country and around the world encompassing short sprints and herculean distances alike, these two traits are key. Read more…

Hammer Nutrition enumerates the errors that you’re most likely to do. Don’t worry – there are ways how to fix these.

The first flaw of athletes is excess hydration. Optimum nutrition means great performance. However, you need to know that you cannot overload or undersupply your body with the needed nutrients. Managing it is tricky, but control is key.

The Top 10 – The Biggest Mistakes Endurance Athletes Make

If you don’t drink enough, you’ll suffer from unpleasant and performance-ruining dehydration. Drink too much, however, and you’ll not only end up with impaired athletic performance, you may even be flirting with potentially life-threatening water intoxication. Read more…

Time To Run gives us a summary about these training errors that athletes usually overlook. The next one on the list is too much simple sugar consumption. This should be avoided because of its connection to a lot of diseases.

Another one is eating a lot of solid food during training. The best and most convenient is liquid nutrition. It gives you the right amount of calories and nutrients to keep you going for your workout.

Ten Mistakes Endurance Athletes Make

Simple sugar, not immediately required for energy, is stored as glycogen in the muscles or liver. If these two storage areas are full and there is no need by the body for more energy, then excess glucose is converted by the liver into triglycerides. Read more…

Bad News for Breakfast Lovers?

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day — or so we’ve heard all our lives, right? Now, don’t be alarmed, but as it turns out, the research that supports that claim was supported by cereal makers, aka the companies selling you breakfast. They might have been embellishing the truth a bit for their own benefit. A recent Associated Press article questioned the validity of this conventional wisdom, and it’s about time, I say. Apparently, the research paid for by companies such as Kellogg was so influential that even the U.S. Government “cited breakfast as a way to manage weight,” the …

The NuGo Path.

Over a decade ago, NuGo Nutrition introduced the world to the idea that great taste and great nutrition don’t have to be mutually exclusive. With a focus on creating nutrition bars with luscious taste, wholesome nutrition, and quality ingredients, NuGo established a reputation for making superior snacks. Since those early days, our core values have not wavered. But our ambition has grown. What began as a vision to create great-tasting, nutritious snacks has evolved into a mission to pioneer unique, delectable nutrition bars for many lifestyles.

The love our consumers have for NuGo bars comes from the perfect balance of quality, taste, and nutrition they find in every bar. Our bars are light, bakery-style snacks packed with nutrients and protein, and free of unnecessary, dense-tasting calories. Most of our protein bars are coated in REAL Dark Chocolate, delivering luscious, melt-in-your-mouth taste. REAL Dark Chocolate is made with cocoa butter, which has a low melting point that allows it to release its flavor immediately. Other companies use chocolate-flavored palm kernel oil, which is cheaper and easier to produce, but never melts in your mouth, imparting a waxy, unpleasant taste. Read more…

Roasted Cauliflower “Rice” with Garlic and Lemon

I love cauliflower “rice”, and I love the nutty flavor of roasted cauliflower so I combined the two to make this easy low-carb side dish that goes great with just about anything from chicken, to steak or fish.

Cauliflower “Rice” uses finely chopped cauliflower, which makes a fantastic low-carb, grain-free stand in for rice. Many supermarkets carry it already chopped which is super time saving, but it’s just as easy to make at home with a food processor. The upside to chopping it yourself is you’ll save money and the shelf life of cauliflower is longer before it’s cut. (more…)
