Thanksgiving is over but, without a doubt, many of us will continue feeling the effects of the holiday (and of the traditional meal in particular) for many days to come.

Many of us like to unwind on an evening out catching the latest movie running at a theater near us. As it’s common knowledge, nothing goes as good with a movie as some popcorn and soda (perhaps some candy too) do. What we might not know though is that these combos that movie theaters offer are actually calorie ... |

One of the downsides of an office job, as many of us know since we’ve had to experience that personally, is that the temptation to skip meals and snack instead on calorie-laden snacks is often too big to ignore successfully. As a matter of fact, this may appear even in those cases where a desk job is not the qu... |

The “Twilight” phenomenon is nowhere near the point of showing the first signs of dying down, that much is for certain. At the same time, HBO’s latest “True Blood” series, also dealing with vampires and how they have managed to forge an existence amongst humans, is breaking record after ... |

We all know by now that many of the cosmetic products we use have ingredients that are actually derivates of ingredients found in many vegetables and plants. Sadly, we also know that many of the products we use have far from the awesome results their makers promise us, so what better way to get impeccable skin than t... |

Experts have long stressed the importance of eating for our beauty as well and not just for the body and our silhouette. Just like smoking or too much chocolate can ruin the complexion and damage the teeth, certain foods encourage the healthy growth of nails and hair, or focus on ridding the face of spots and even wr... |

The freshman 15 refers to the weight one gains in the first semester or year of college because of the drastic lifestyle change that moving out of the house and into the dorm or an apartment implies. Later in life, its correspondent is the office 15, as we also informed you. However, for those freshmen that are strug... |

Experts repeatedly sound the alarm on eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia or the dangers of not heating healthy and indulging in too many high-fat foods. However, that’s not to say there aren’t some risks to healthy eating too, especially if taken to the extreme. It’s a condition called ortho... |

The key to losing weight and keeping it off is not, as we might be tempted to believe, sticking to a restrictive diet, but rather learning how to cheat better on it, as recent studies have shown. Another solution to drop the extra pounds is by eating plenty of snacks throughout the day: however, FitSugar warns, there... |

In case we ever felt the salad we enjoy in the cafeteria over lunch lacked a certain something only to realize later that that something was a hardboiled egg, which we couldn’t possibly bring to work for practical reasons, Eggology has the perfect solution.

We’ve been told that fast food is not good for us so many times that we often tend to cringe just when we think of it, despite craving it on more occasions than we would like to admit to ourselves. Still, staying healthy does not necessarily mean steering clear of the so-called junk food altogether, experts say... |

Spices are usually not recommended with diets or, for that matter, to anyone whose main concern is weight maintenance. However, there is one such condiment that can be added to meals and that, besides making it tastier, also helps burn more calories by boosting the metabolic rate. A recent study indicates Tabasco can... |

Being able to stick to a diet, especially if it’s the more restrictive type, is often a case of getting used to a routine, experts believe. Once we eliminate all derailers by setting up the routine, we are theoretically able to go on with the diet for as long as we might want – which is precisely why a tr... |

Barbeques are often seen as these “guilty” events where everyone stuffs themselves with meat and beer and then has to make up for it for the following week. Far from being like this, health experts tell us that not only can we enjoy a regular burger (not the veggie type that often pales in comparison, acc... |

Most slimmers must know by now that sticking to a diet and eating out are two things that automatically rule each other out most of the time. Still, that is not to say that they can’t coexist with a little self-control and some willpower, and as long as we know which are the traps ahead of us and how to avoid t... |

A new study comes to show that overweight women might have yet another strong, natural ally in their fight against the pounds: calcium.

Sometimes, because we have so many options to choose from in terms of our everyday bread, we often go for the artificially-enriched one, believing we’re making a healthy choice. Making our own bread is hardly an option too, because it is a time-consuming process, and time is probably the last thing we have to d... |

As we were telling you a couple of days ago, recent studies have showed that almost 45 percent of women taking up a new desk job gain an average of 15 pounds in the first three months of employment.

The holiday season is nearing its climax and it is very likely that we too are feeling that we’re about to burst out of our clothes. It’s no wonder, come to think of it, as neither is it something that we should be ashamed of because it happens every year. Yet, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t a... |

Yogurt has become such an integral part of our diets that we've grown used to taking its beneficial effects for granted, without asking too many questions with regard to its contents or the finer details of its inner workings.

"Dessert" is hardly a word in the vocabulary of those interested in weight loss - or so we'd tend to believe, if we're among those people who imagine being on a diet as some sort of draconian punishment, about as difficult as spending an eternity with little food or water, walking through the Sahara desert.... |

We're all familiar with Pinkberry, Hollywood's favorite upscale franchise of frozen desert restaurants that boasted a healthy, natural (and pricey) alternative to the popular but old-fashioned ice cream.
