What If You Don’t Like to Exercise (Much)?

ByKristen Carter

What if you aren’t enthused about exercise, or you know someone who is frustrated by their seeming lack of motivation to exercise.  They (and possibly you) know they “should”, but somehow it just doesn’t happen, at least most days.  Turns out 80% of people do not get the recommended amount…

Set Your Sites on the Mediterranean

ByKristen Carter

Sorry…I am not going to recommend a great trip to the Mediterranean, although you could certainly consider that, especially after reading this!  Every year and all the time, people write about diets.  Which one is the best?  Which one is the easiest to follow?  Which one really gets the weight…

Can We Make Our Health and Fitness Dreams Come True?

ByKristen Carter

As we turn the page to a new year, many of us are taking stock of ourselves and possibly making a resolution or two (otherwise known as a Wish List… I will explain).  When we want certain things for ourselves, they can fall into different categories.  There are things like…

It’s that time of year again.  Holidays, winter, outdoor activities, and indoor projects like settling in with a good book.  These events can put our focus onto many special foods, including the loveliness that is chocolate.  These days we are more apt to find chocolate in special candies, cookies, cakes,…

When Calories Don’t Count

ByKristen Carter

Statistics have shown that at any given time, 40% of us are on a diet.  Many others may be watching calories anyway.  Probably most of us think about calories quite a bit.  Remember the days when it was all about “calories in and calories out”? Those days are gone.  There’s…

Many of us take advantage of artificial sweeteners in order to cut calories.  It seems that mostly we like to consume them in sodas, which fill us up because of the fizziness, and gives us a bit of sweetness at the same time.  In this way, we can also seemingly…
