A Ketogenic Diet
If you are searching for a way to begin to lose weight, cleanse your body in a natural way, or just make a step towards more mindful eating, a ketogenic diet may be for you. A ketogenic diet is comprised of low carb, moderate protein meals that assist you in using the fat you have stored, while simultaneously only feeding your body things that it can use for maximum efficiency. Following a ketogenic diet isn’t difficult, and rather than a health-related, many think of it as an approach to a healthy lifestyle that happens to help your body rid itself of negatives. Ketosis helps promote a number of healthy, natural body functions that you biologically do without mindfully focusing on them, including an improved immune system, maximizing your good cholesterol and minimizing your bad, reducing blood pressure, eliminating water weight and stored fats, and improving brain function. Ketosis is a rather particular diet plan that may or may not be for you, depending on your health.

How to Survive a Weight Loss Plateau
If you follow any weight loss plan, there will come a point (usually more than one if you are on a significant journey) when your weight will suddenly, and inexplicably, stop going down no matter what you do. This is known as a weight loss plateau and it sucks.

What Is Malnourishment?
What is malnourishment? The World Health Organization refers to malnourishment as deficiency in nutrition and/or energy in the form of calories. Malnourishment can take place in two forms. One of the two forms of malnourishment is "undernutrition" and the other form is "overnutrition" or also known as "overweight." A simpler way to explain undernutrition is that your body uses more energy than it takes in, causing starvation.

My Vegan Pregnancy
One of the first things every expectant mother encounters upon announcing she is pregnant is not the symptoms, the sickness, the tiredness, the emotional highs and lows, the overwhelming feeling of change or the excessive weight gain… Nope, the first thing every mother gains upon announcing she is pregnant is everyone else opinion and advice.

Why Diets Don't Work
The holidays are rapidly approaching and I'm seeing a lot of discussion about diets on my newsfeed. Lots of my friends are doing month-long challenges (no sugar, no alcohol, no processed foods, no carbs, etc... ) and gearing up for their New Year's resolutions.

Climate Change—Is the Answer Lying with All of Us?
Today I watched a documentary titled Cowspiracy on Netflix and, no exaggeration, it has opened my eyes in many a way and changed my entire outlook and perspective on life and the world around us. I was brought up to be a meat eater, and only managed a relatively short stint as a vegetarian last year. However I recently decided to try being a vegetarian again and, after watching this documentary, I've come to the decision that I wish to eat a vegan diet.

Heart, Health & Life from the Happy Wife
Let there be no lies, I am ABSOLUTELY winging this. With that said, be sure that I know how to do two things very well, which are writing and dieting. I am half black, and as such, if you know anything, I have what I value—a desired thickness which many women must work for to achieve. Of course, my very white mother did not understand the concept that color = thick. So as I hit puberty, my mother mistook my thickness for weight gain. As a good mother, it was her mission to help me stay thin, because that is what society tells us is most desired in order to be accepted. What does this mean exactly? Let me enlighten you. This meant I tried the low-fat diet, measured caloric in-take diet, the protein shake diet, the Weight Watchers diet, the no-carb diet and so on. While my Marmie meant well, she had no idea she was instilling in me the belief that I was not thick, but fat.

10 Reasons Why Your Diet Isn't Working
A lot of times while I'm at the gym, doing the best exercises for weight loss, people will come up to me and ask, "Chica, how did you get so fit?" I always tell them, "Diet and exercise." They're usually disappointed because what they wanted was an answer like, "I did nothing," so that they can do nothing too. That's just not how it goes. In fact, the people who do nothing to stay thin are less helpful than me, because at least I have something to say. What's the mysteriously thin person going to say? "I got good genetics! I just eat whatever and stay thin. I wish I knew more science to explain this better!" Well, lucky for you I know enough science to explain why your diet isn't working so that at least you have the option to take control of your life.

Keto Coffee: Your New Best Friend
Keto coffee has exploded in popularity over the past year with the growing obsession of the keto diet. Keto diets are high in proteins and fats, and low on carbs. People have had huge success with the keto diet, but it requires a lot of diligence and if you're Italian like I am, giving up carbs is next to impossible.
