Weight Loss

I haven’t stepped on a scale in more than two years — and I’m certain I’ve gained weight. Honestly, I’m not sure why I just haven’t thrown that stupid thing away yet. I’ve never been one to weigh myself often anyway. And now that I’ve sworn off it completely, I can tell you that it’s

Your body needs rest in order to repair itself after strenuous workouts, which is why active recovery days (or days where you don’t do any form of physical activity) are important. Things like walking, foam rolling, or yoga are typically considered forms of active recovery that can ease the discomfort associated with delayed onset muscle

There’s a lot of information on the internet, both good and bad; and on social media, you’ll find so-called “experts” touting their ability to help you get healthier, more lean, and ready to conquer your goals. It’s important to know that you can’t trust everything you read online. Plus, once you find someone that looks

We’ve tried our fair share of plank variations, but it turns out that one of the hardest might have been right in front of us the whole time. The hardstyle plank looks just like a traditional elbow plank, but when done correctly, it should feel several times more difficult. “As opposed to the traditional plank

I’m always rushing from the gym to work and don’t always have time to make a protein-packed breakfast, so when I heard about Kitu Super Coffee ($14 for a pack of four), it definitely caught my attention. One drink to give me the energy I need to conquer the day and the protein I need

Whether you’re ready or not, pumpkin spice season is upon us. If you’re a pumpkin fan but also livin’ that healthy lifestyle, fear not: There’s tons of stuff for you, too. It’s true, though — pumpkin spice flavors aren’t just for Oreos and sugary coffees (although we don’t mind those now and then!). From protein

I’m not sure if I should call it a hobby or not, but I really enjoy trying professional athletes’ and celebrities’ workouts. I’m a big fan of Halle Berry’s ab workouts and I always do The Rock’s upper-body workout whenever I want to feel completely gassed. I had the opportunity to train with Danielle Collins,

I was about 6 years old when I first found comfort in snacks. I was 7 when I learned that my friends in the kitchen cabinet never seemed to solve my problems. If anything, they made them worse. By the time I turned 13, I knew I had to look for answers elsewhere. Because I

Not going to lie, we always look forward to our meals, but when life gets hectic and we’re busy, we want to eat quickly and not think too much about it. When we’re following a low-carb diet, though, that doesn’t always feel possible, since it typically takes a bit more planning to make a low-carb

Want a quick breakfast that’s low in carbs and high in protein, but so sick of eggs? Make this simple five-ingredient smoothie (six if you count the ice cubes), and you’ll be sipping on a satisfying, fruity milkshake. This blueberry-raspberry vanilla protein smoothie has just 17 grams of carbs and offers 6.7 grams of fiber.

Let’s be real: We always need new leggings, and as much fun as it is to shop for them, it’s even more fun when they’re on sale. When we go to put our favorite pairs in our shopping cart, and they just so happen to be discounted, it feels like a national holiday. Summer is

Like any sport, tennis has its own language. One term that can help you better understand the game and how it’s scored is break point. A break point occurs when two conditions are met: 1) one player is one point away from a win, and 2) their opponent is serving. Essentially, in order to win

It’s a good day to be keto! Reed’s Zero Sugar Ginger Beer is now officially keto-certified, which means you can start mixing up Moscow mules, ginger beer margaritas, and other (low-carb) gingery cocktails to your heart’s content. Reed’s Zero Sugar Ginger Beer (which, like most other ginger beers, is nonalcoholic) is sugar-free and has zero

It’s no secret that we love workout clothes, and it’s also no secret that if you’re not careful, they can get really pricey really quickly. We love when our favorite workout clothes go on sale, and we also try to stick to a budget, but sometimes, when we reach a fitness goal, we like to

If you’re new to tennis, you probably have some questions about the scoring. For example, you might see a player’s score change to “ad,” which is short for advantage. This term is used only when a game is tied 40-all — meaning, each player has scored three times, otherwise known as deuce — and a

You’ve heard about Orangetheory Fitness. You know that the bright colors and challenging workouts have members singing its praises while sweating their way to results. You’ve researched its prices. Maybe you’ve even thought about signing up for a class based on the majorly successful fitness franchise. But if you haven’t taken the leap and given

Starbucks unveiled its Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew on Monday, giving us another reason to get excited for Fall. Let’s break down the nutritional information of this sweet new spin on the original Pumpkin Spice Latte, shall we? According to Starbucks, a Grande Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew has 250 calories, 12 grams of fat, 31 grams

I don’t know one person who doesn’t love pasta. It’s just delicious, but if you’re eating low-carb, pasta has got to go. Or does it? There are actually plenty of low-carb pasta options, but one sneaky ingredient to watch out for? Sauce! Seriously, pick the wrong one, and it’s a carbohydrate bomb that you never

Probiotics, the gut-healthy bacteria that we ingest through supplements and foods like yogurt and fermented foods, come with a host of digestive benefits. Is losing belly fat one of them? Well, the jury is still out, according to Linda Nguyen, MD, a gastroenterologist at Stanford Health Care. Research into the manipulation of gut bacteria to

With its recognizable symbol of the pink ribbon, we all know that October is breast cancer awareness month since this cancer has the distinction of being the most common cancer among women. September, however, is dedicated to raising awareness about ovarian cancer. Often referred to as the “silent killer,” ovarian cancer is often detected when

Running can help you lose weight, but if you’ve never done it before, you have to be careful not to take on too much too soon. This 12-week plan, created by Sarah Booth, a certified run coach with REVO₂LUTION RUNNING in the Houston area, is designed to help beginners see results without getting frustrated or

After recently being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease), I really started to think about the choices I was making for my health. For years, Diet Coke was a staple for me, but I wanted to find a healthy alternative — something I could feel good about putting into my body — so I

At-home workouts are super convenient — but if you’re a beginner, and you need a more step-by-step approach, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you prefer dance workouts, yoga, or boxing, these videos will help you master the basics, much like you would if you had one-on-one instruction. And you’ll do it all without

Just in time for Fall, Trader Joe’s has brought us protein-packed organic bone broths made from free-range chicken bones and grass-fed beef bones. These broths look similar to the ones TJ’s released last year, but the ingredients and packaging are different (they’re pour-able!). According to the ever-reliable @traderjoeslist Instagram, TJ’s organic beef and chicken bone

There’s a misconception that you can eat pretty much anything after a workout and it won’t affect you in terms of weight loss. That’s not quite true, but you can see where it comes from: It actually is recommended you eat some carbs and protein after a workout to replenish your energy stores and encourage

Every second counts during a workout, so the next time you have just 20 minutes to squeeze in some cardio, count on this playlist to power you through. You’ll warm up to the sounds of Loud Luxury; build speed with songs from Tiësto, Lizzo, and more; then cool down to a stadium anthem from Queen.

KFC is jumping on board the Beyond Meat trend, and just looking at this plant-based fried “chicken” already has my taste buds fooled. The new Beyond Fried Chicken is made with a plant-based wheat protein that’s coated in KFC’s standard breading and doesn’t contain soy, GMOs, antibiotics, or hormones, making it a healthier alternative to

Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova will play each other in the first round of the 2019 US Open, the latest matchup in a series Serena leads 19-2. The two tennis greats haven’t met on the court in more than three years (and never at the US Open). They were last scheduled to face off in

Chelsea was always used to moving, typically six days a week as a dancer. She went on to dance in college, where she ended up injuring herself and requiring reconstructive surgery on her hip. She eventually decided to stop dancing, which led to depression and gaining 40 pounds. With the encouragement of her mom and

Well, keto fans, as much as you might love your Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, you should probably avoid it. If you’re on the high-fat, low-carb diet, obviously sugar is something that’s a big no-no. As the PSL comes when you order it from the coffeehouse, the ingredients are milk, pumpkin spice sauce, espresso, whipped cream,
