As weight loss and maintenance is one of my specialties, I am often asked, “What is the best diet?” People are often disappointed by my response. I tell them, “The best diet meets three conditions:It’s a healthy diet.It’s a diet that includes your favorite foods, in moderation, even if they’re not entirely healthy.It’s a diet you can stay on…
Added sugars in foods should make up less than 10 percent of daily calories, said US government dietary guidelines issued Thursday that for the first time urged specific limits on sweets. Saturated fats should also make up less than 10 percent of a day’s food intake, said the guidelines which are released every five years by the US Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services.

It’s check-out day at the diet clinic in Cannes, France. I’m going home! I’ve been here for two full months, and I’ve lost 15 kilos (I’m going to get weighed one last time today, inshallah the caviar and vodka of New Year’s Eve haven’t left their mark). I feel much better than when I came in. But, my knee we now know it is the meniscus and…
Baby weight, lack of sleep, no free time — this is the typical rhetoric for busy parents. But I’ve got news, it doesn’t have to be this way. We don’t have to rely on triple shot venti frappucinos with 50g of sugar just to get through the day. The common thread most people associate with having children is that your health must suffer.
