-
Image
If you’ve recently joined a fitness center and started a new workout program, it’s normal to pay closer attention to the scale for proof that your hard work is paying off.  When those numbers not only don’t budge, but go in the opposite direction, it can be frustrating – and confusing. After all, getting more active and burning more calories is supposed to result in weight loss, not weight gain. If this is your experience, don’t get discouraged! There are at least 4 explanations for gaining weight near the beginning of a new workout program, and with the right response – but mostly time – they’re only temporary. 1. Inflammation Challenging your body in new ways usually causes trauma in the form of micro-tears to your muscle fibers.

If you’re working towards a weight loss goal by counting your calories, meal prepping, and working out regularly at the fitness center, you probably spend a lot of time analyzing ingredient labels. But some things we eat and drink tend to pass by this radar, probably because we think of them as health foods, or, at the very least, not as harmful as foods that are higher in calories from fat or sugar. For this reason, you might be surprised at this list of 5 foods and beverages that could be harming your health. 1.      Diet Soda If you’re trying to kick the soda habit, you might think a diet version is a good alternative. It packs way fewer calories and some people even prefer the taste. The problem is that, to get great flavor without sugars and syrups, manufacturers add artificial ingredients and chemicals like aspartame and BVO, which is found in flame retardants.

“Foodie” is a term often used for people who are obsessed with their food, seeking out new food experiences almost as a hobby. Whether creating their own delectable culinary dishes or scouting out the best restaurants and chefs, modern foodies also like to take pictures of their meals and post them on social media —eliciting eye-rolling responses from many of their friends (and mouth-watering from others). Our understanding of the term “foodie” might not seem like something that would go hand-in-hand with a lifestyle of healthy eating, counting calories, and avoiding excess fats and carbohydrates. After all, taste is the focus of a good foodie experience, right? Believe it or not, being a foodie and being nutritionally conscious don’t have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, a recent International Food Information Council (IFIC) Foundation survey shows that the emerging foodie is actually rather health conscious. If you consider yourself a foodie, here are a few tips for enjoying the se
