Eating out can be great fun - but home is where the heart is. There’s just something about coming home to a kitchen bursting with fresh organic produce, laying it out on the countertop and rolling up your sleeves to whip up something nutritious and homemade.

Vegan, low-carb meals have been shown to reduce the risks of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and other health-related conditions. Whether you're vegan or just looking to add more veggies to your diet, vegan meal kits can help you take charge of what you eat.

There are many benefits to keeping up with vegetarian diet. Not only has it been shown to help keeping type-2 diabetes and heart-disease at bay, but studies have also found that eating plant-based meals is good for the environment.Being vegetarian isn’t as complicated as it used to be, either, since restaurants feature extensive vegetarian options. Vegetarian foods have come a long way in the past few years, with a wide variety of options for dishes such as veggie burgers.Although cooking at home is both cheaper and healthier than eating out, many people resort to eating out because they lack the time or energy to prepare their own meals after a long day's work. This is where the best home delivery meals services can help out.When you sign up for a vegetarian meal delivery service, you pick your meals each week.

Amid the ongoing pandemic, many of us are still spending the majority of our time at home. More time spent at home can often lead to unhealthy snacking habits. We may reach for the snacks out of stress, boredom, anxiety, or simply because they are there.

When I became a Registered Dietitian 13 years ago, I thought it would be the secret to figuring out my lifelong weight issues. I mean there had to be some type of key piece of information that I was missing that would allow me to achieve my goals.

I decided to try TelaDoc, a telehealth platform, for my four year old son because it’s fairly cumbersome to get an in-person appointment at his pediatrician right now. He doesn't love wearing a mask and appointment times are very limited. A telemedicine appointment was a convenient option for us.

Tired of trying to lose weight and not succeeding (or not trying at all)? Check out these successful diet plans that are tailored to fit a woman's needs.

Fresh and Easy, the newest offering from Home Chef, is the company’s next step in catering to those who want fresh, healthy food, but lack the time. Fresh and Easy sends chef-prepared, low or no-prep meals straight to your door with all of the ingredients washed, portioned, and packaged in heatable pans and grillable bags. This makes Fresh and Easy super convenient, even for kitchen beginners.

Fresh N Lean is as easy as it gets when it comes to having organic, fully prepared, whole food meals delivered to your doorstep. They offer low-carb diet plans like keto and paleo, which can be appealing to some. One shortfall is that customers can’t opt for favorite meals and some of their meal plans average less than 300 calories per meal, meaning customers would need to supplement with extra side dishes and snacks.

Weight loss plans come and go. In the 80s, it was all about low-fat, high-carb eating. Then the pendulum swung back to low carb, high fat. Although these diets tried to seem new and trendy, many are just the same general principles recycled over and over depending on current trends.

The holidays are upon us and it is time to indulge, right? Do you really want to start the new year off feeling awful? Probably not. So, I want to encourage you to adopt a different mindset this year—that the holidays are just like any other time of the year. Yes, there are more treats available, but that doesn’t mean you need to eat them all.

When I worked as an outpatient weight loss dietitian, almost all of my clients wanted me to provide a food list for them. Basically, foods to eat and foods to avoid. Although these types of lists may exist for managing certain medical conditions with a specific diet, this does not exist for weight loss.
