As we begin the home stretch for 2017, this is the time when a lot of people eat more than they should, drink more than they should and come January they begin their New Year's Resolutions to lose weight, get in better health...the usual annual resolutions.  Here are some tips to use to plan for the holidays and a way to get a jump start on the upcoming resolutions and how to stick to them. 1.  Eat everything - in moderation of course .

Stress free portion control

Hello there, I was reading recently some information on nutrition to stay abreast of current issues in the health/fitness industries and to keep up with my CEC requirements.  One article was mainly about calories.  When I worked in the restaurant industry, all servings were measured and weighed during prep time.  Amazing how fast and accurate someone can learn to get the right amount of ingredients in a fast paced environment.  This post is to help reduce the stress most people have about portion size. I know that a lot of people wonder what is a portion size?  And when they see what a portion size is, they think that is not enough.  I've been there.  However, one does not have to walk with measuring spoons, measuring cups, and a food scale.  Who would want to?  Where is the freedom there?  You already have the perfect measuring tool with you:  your hand. Yes, your hand is a great tool.  I understand, some people...
