Learning how to cope with these varied diets on a limited budget has stretched my creativity to say the least. If you are struggling in a similar situation, here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way: 1. Focus On Foods You  Can  Have For most people, whole foods are still an acceptable and desirable part of their diet: meats, fruits, vegetables, and certain grains, seeds and nuts. Focusing on those foods will not only make you healthier, but help you stick to your budget. Avoid overly processed foods with long lists of ingredients that could create dietary issues. 2. Make It Yourself Instead of purchasing items like breads, sweets and snacks, learn how to make them yourself. That way you know exactly what ingredients go into each food item and you can tweak recipes to meet your dietary needs. I learned early on how to make bread that strikes the balance between my own and my husband’s dietary needs – a mix of whole grains and regular all-purpose flour. For my son, I’ve learned how

After the holidays, I always feel like I need a major detox. I love to indulge in all the holiday goodies and feasts, and probably a little too much red wine, so when January comes around, I’m ready to clean up my diet. A lot of the foods I love to eat around the holiday season are unfortunately ones that cause inflammation. You know, like baked sweets, fried foods, dairy (cheese!!!), alcohol, and lots of gluten. The 21 day anti inflammatory diet is a full body detox that aims to reduce inflammation, and sounds like just the meal plan I need to detox my post-holiday body. more article click here

The lemonade diet is a fasting diet that relies on an entirely liquid-based diet. Also known as the Master Cleanse, the lemonade fast is rumored to have wonderful benefits when it comes to weight loss as it is purported to cleanse toxins (Master Cleanse) and burn fat. There’s a downside with this diet that most people aren’t prepared for with any juice fast. Unfortunately, no solids are to be eaten for at least 10 days, which can make you feel very hungry. Any participant in this diet will be getting their nutritional sustenance and caloric intake from a lemon drink you make and sweeten at home. Although there are claims that this lemonade fast is able to burn fat, making you slimmer. Throughout this article, I’ll be delving into the evidence for and against this diet to allow potential participants to decide if this diet is right for them. More Article Click Here

Happy Wellness Wednesday! You’ve probably heard of the term clean eating before, right? If you haven’t, here’s a simple definition: Clean eating is basically the practice of eating whole foods that are real, unrefined and minimally processed. Often times you’ll hear people bash ‘clean eating’ because they say it’s too black and white on that foods are labeled good or bad or clean and dirty. BUT here’s my philosophy with clean eating, because I think it’s a different then most out there — I believe that clean eating should be about inclusion rather than exclusion. Sometimes it seems people might read too much into the labels of clean eating and try to break the term down into something it isn’t. More Article Click Here
