If you suspect your job is conspiring to make you gain unwanted pounds, you may be right. A new survey shows that “work weight” does exist, and a good percentage of people are suffering from it.

So you have a few vegetables that aren’t your favorite, who doesn’t? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to make healthy food taste even better — without adding extra calories, salt, fat or sugar? Well, you’re in luck: it might be easier than you think. Food plating and presentation could be the missing “ingredients” to making your meals more enjoyable. Some research suggests the way you serve your food could enhance its taste and flavor. (Plus, you’ll get that perfect Instagram snap — it’s a win-win!) Here’s how to plate your food beautifully while reaping the tasty benefits.

Hold the pool float – did someone say “exercise”? When blue skies and beautiful summer weather beckon, physical activity might be the last thing on your mind. The American Heart Association recommends adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week,¹ so what’s one way to get your heart pumping without it feeling like strenuous exercise? Trying outdoor activities! 

Is there anything better than a cold glass of water on a hot summer’s day? We think not. Water isn’t just a refreshing drink — it helps your body to function at its best. Every part of the body needs water to work, from your skin and organs to your bones and joints. Water is naturally lost through breathing, perspiration and digestion, so it’s important to replenish it by eating and drinking foods and beverages with a high water content. 

When Jenny Craig approached me about trying out one of their award-winning weight loss programs, I was immediately excited but also a bit apprehensive.

I had just given birth to my second child seven weeks prior and was ready to focus on my health goals, but I was also exclusively breastfeeding and planned on continuing to do so. With that in mind, I knew that I needed to strike a fine balance that would allow me to safely lose the pounds I wanted, while also helping my body continue to produce an abundance of breast milk to nourish my growing, always-hungry baby boy.
