3 Ways We Like to Eat Our Dole Banana Dippers (Because We’re Obsessed)
Being in college, we all know that we’re suppose to (try to) eat healthy. But let’s face it, that can be pretty difficult when you’re running on a college schedule and a college budget. Luckily, there are products out there that can help us cut down on the high-calorie junk food and even get some fruit in our day!
Healthy Fast Food Options When You’re Pressed For Time
It’s hard to balance a healthy lifestyle when you’re a college girl on the go. Between crazy class schedules, team meetings, hang out time with friends and Toddlers in Tiaras marathons, finding time to buy real food, and make meals that don’t involve a microwave can get pretty difficult. We all want to stay healthy and fit (even if we do engage in the occasional tub of Ben & Jerry’s), but sometimes it’s hard to do that within the confines of a college dorm or cafeteria.

Intro to Cooking: Pina Colada Dip with Grilled Pineapple and Watermelon Kebabs
This week, I decided to feature a great dip for sweet foods – fruits, berries, cinnamon tortilla chips…whatever you want really. I especially love to serve it with grilled fruit to provide another option at barbecues – as I’ve written probably a dozen times already, barbecues are really the places to add unnecessary, empty calories.
Body Blog: Healthify Your Late Night Eating
When we drink (and we all know this by now), we’re not only consuming a ton of calories from our friend the frozen marg, but much like that fabulous children’s book “If You Give A Moose A Muffin,” if you give me a tequila shot, I’m going to want some mac and cheese/pizza/other late night snack to go with it. And that means may-jor (Rachel Zoe voice) extra fat and calories.

Intro to Cooking: Savory Snack Platter
We’re finishing finals and we’re getting ready for the holidays, and therefore we have no time. I’m sure just about all of us are somewhere cold, too.

It’s the start of the new school year. For some of you this will be your first time away from home and you may be feeling a little nervous about meeting your new roommate and dorm life in general. For others it’s like coming home again, only this time you are moving into your own apartment.
Body Blog: Lose Weight Like a Guy!
Hate how all the guys you know only lift weights a few times a week, skip the treadmill, eat twice as much as you, and still manage a 6-pack while you struggle to reveal any pack at all? Maybe it’s time to take a few tips from the boys!

I’m sure most of us (myself included) don’t really stop mid-bite to ponder the effects of different foods on our teeth. And while it doesn’t need to be at the forefront of our thoughts, we should still think about them chompers from time to time.
Body Blog: Super Bowling, Not Super Sizing
As preparations for Super Bowl Sunday commence, you may be wondering how your upcoming football fiestas will contribute to the post-holiday weight loss plan you drew up on January 2nd. You’ve been faithful to your diet since you packed on a few lbs with an abundance of Christmas cookies and egg nog, but now you will be faced with temptation. In the form of dips and the fried things you stick in them.
Body Blog: DON’T Pass the Salt, Please
According to most health experts, we’re only supposed to consume one teaspoon of salt per day. That’s it. In an entire day. Guess how much salt the average American consumes per day? Two to three times that amount! And when you go over, you’re really screwing yourself over.

Ah, Finals. How I love you. You fall during the greatest time of year and have me reading textbooks instead of drinking Gingerbread lattes and enjoying the holiday sales. You leave dark circles under my eyes and extra inches around my waistline.
