We all have the best intentions to "eat right" but something gets in the way. For some, it is lack of knowledge of how to shop for healthful foods. For others it is a perceived lack of time and dependence on less healthful convenience products that prevents them from embracing better eating. For many, it is making healthful foods taste good (just as good as those prepared foods or take out) that limits their desire to want to eat healthfully. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these tips for boosting both the taste and nutrition of your meals...a "plate lift"

People often ask me for tips on how to get through the week; how to seamlessly put together meals that carry from one day to the next. Here I lay out a 7-Day plan that incorporates quick and easy meals as well as satisfying snacks that help keep your energy up. Let me know what you think!
At the heart of
the many ways I work with nutrition, however, is a simple philosophy
about our relationship with food. The starting point for the many
“spokes” of my work is a belief that we all have the power to reach

balance, no gimmicks, no games and keeping it simple. Whether I am demystifying nutrition for a consumer or giving a client the tools to
achieve her wellness goals, I teach people how to make positive,
lasting change because I believe they can.
