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... |

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... |

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... |

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... |

Pizza is, as we all know, one food that dieters can’t often indulge in, given its high calorie content. However, that should by no means signify that we shouldn’t enjoy it now and then – and even make the most of it by packing it full with healthy vitamins and fibers by adding vegetables to it, as t... |

Whether we’re dieting to lose weight or not, suffering from the effects of a bad diet can happen to any of us. This is why it is imperious that we learn to read the signs and, if this truly proves to be the case, change whatever needs to be changed to eliminate the causing factors, nutritionists say for Shape m... |

A new study comes to show that overweight women might have yet another strong, natural ally in their fight against the pounds: calcium. Those who increased their calcium intake throughout the duration of the study by as much as twice lost more weight faster. With this in mind, the increasing consumption of calcium-ri... |

With First Lady Michelle Obama working hard on the White House garden, the first one in many years, the President is now under heavy fire on the Internet for his open aversion to beets, and their exclusion from the much-mediated garden. Food and vegetable bloggers are all taking to their websites to urge the “g... |

Coffee must arguably be one of the most popular hot beverages on earth. Since it comes in so many recipes and with so many flavors, chances of someone not finding just the type that suits them are slim to none, it has been said. Coffee-making is now an art and, as such, few are those of us who still enjoy their daily... |

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... |

Mothers always know best, so it’s no wonder they keep telling us to eat our veggies and brush our teeth. Vegetables are the most health-promoting food group of the lot, while also being a valuable source of vitamins, fibers, antioxidants and low in calories and fat. Thanks to Elaine Magee, MPH, RD from WebMD, b... |

Useless to say, our bodies do not function like clockwork and, sometimes, we find ourselves wishing we could do something to make our digestion smoother, thus avoid feeling bloated and the pain of cramps. As FitSugar points out, a handful of foods can actually “clog us up,” which is why we should avoid th... |

Now that the holiday season is over and there’s no more indulging in home-made goodies and sweets, it’s time we got back to our healthy habits of before. However, even if that not be the case, it’s never too late to turn over a new leaf – and Marco Pierre White’s pea and ham soup is as h... |

While the benefits of garlic and black pepper are common knowledge by now, as also is the fact that nutritionists stress we should include them both in our meals, at least once a day, cayenne pepper has been somewhat overlooked from this perspective.

Cheese hardly needs any presentation. It's tasty, goes perfectly with good wine, when sprinkled on pizza and spaghetti, it makes them just heavenly, to name just some of the thousands of ways in which it can be served. Everyone eats it, and cooking it makes all chefs feel proud. However, cheese is not good only ... |
