Can You Have Sugar Alcohols on the Keto Diet? A Dietitian and Keto Expert Explains

As the keto diet has grown in popularity, more and more people are eschewing sugar and simple carbohydrates to get their body into the fat-burning state of ketosis. And since the diet follows a pretty strict macro breakdown of 70 to 80 percent fat, 15 to 20 percent protein, and five to 10 percent carbs (this usually amounts to fewer than 50 grams of carbs a day), many people...

What's on My Plate Is Actually None of Your Business

Have you ever heard of a pescetarian? If your answer is yes, I congratulate you for being smarter than Microsoft Word. As I write this story, the term is being underlined in red by the word processing program because it doesn't recognize it. While I'm still reflecting on whether I should feel offended by this fact, I'll let the Merriam-Webster dictionary clarify that a pescetarian...

A Trainer Shares a 5-Minute, Kickass Ab-Toning Workout You Can Do Anywhere

Let's be completely honest: sometimes your ab routines can become extremely stale and boring. In my opinion, if your workout is boring - and you're dreading it before you begin - the more likely you are to half-ass it or just skip it entirely. I don't like either option. To prevent just going through the motions or skipping workouts altogether, I created the following five-minute...

10 Workout Moves That Will Make You Want to Wear a Backless Dress Every Damn Day

You can do ab exercises all day, but if you want a strong core, you need to work your back, too. People confuse the core with abs, but in truth your abdominal muscles are just a part of the bigger picture: your core starts at your shoulders and ends at your hips, front and back, and all the way around. If you overwork your abs without building up your back, you have created...

According to Experts, This Is the Most Effective Way For Women to Lose Belly Fat

When it comes to burning body fat, a lot of women have the same target area: the belly. Much to the chagrin of many of us, belly fat is notoriously stubborn, and it's important to note that you can't spot reduce fat.

7 Tips For Talking to Your Kids About Money

Last week, I was grocery shopping with my 4-year-old son, already a cringe-worthy task that became more so when I saw that they'd moved the LaCroix I wanted across the aisle from a display of Imaginext toys I knew he was going to want (curse you, big-box store!).

Hate Halloween? 10 Just-as-Fun Things to Do Instead of Trick-or-Treating

I can't pinpoint exactly when I started to dislike Halloween, but the older I've gotten, the more deeply I loathe the so-called holiday.

I did think that once I had children of my own, I'd start to appreciate it again - the way I did when I was young and...

Lawnmower Parents Are the New Helicopter Parents - Only They Might Be Even Worse

By now, you've certainly heard of the term "helicopter parenting" - when a parent hovers (like a helicopter) over their child and swoops in at the first sign of trouble.
