  • Convert your desk at work to a standing desk! Search it online...there are many benefits. I actually just put some books under my monitor and mouse. I'm really enjoying burning the extra calories through the day. Check out: http://www.juststand.org/

  • I can relate to your story. When I was in highschool, I would go through periods of time where I would eat my feelings and put on 20-30lbs. Then it would be such hard work to lose the weight. I continued on this pattern through college (basically going up and down 30 lbs). I got my degree in nutrition and became a…

  • Do you have a smartphone? There are lots of great free apps that have quick workouts you can do at home. Look for "Daily Butt Workout" or "Daily Leg Workout." There's also a squat app that counts your squats and builds you up to more each day. You can always do situps, lunges and pushups at home. Try doing them in your…
    in exercising... HELP Comment by Soula7475 March 2013
  • When you just start working out, your body responds by making more glycogen and storing it in your liver. Glycogen is a complex, branched molecule that contains a lot of water and can be part of this "water weight gain" when you start getting into exercise. Don't worry, this glycogen will help you work out longer and…

  • I am registered dietitan and I'm not going to get into the whole discussion about low carb diets (they can be pretty controversial)...I would say that if you choose to follow a low carb diet, don't forget your non starchy vegetables! It is very important to still have plenty of spinach, broccoli, kale, celery, lettuce,…

  • Yesterday I had a healthy meal with teriyaki sauce and I literally gained 4 pounds in a matter of hours (all that salt!) Don't worry! As long as you're doing everything right you will continue to lose fat. It's just math in the long run.

  • As a registered dietitian, I would say yes- but only in moderate amounts, once in a while. There are many benefits to making half your plate fruits and vegetables, 1/4 protein and 1/4 whole grains. These benefits extend beyond weight loss and include the prevention of heart disease and cancer. Treats can fit into a healthy…
