A while ago I reviewed Quest Bars, which have been a favorite of my clients for a while now. Most people like these because of (1) the high protein content (2) the low carb/sugar content and (3) the amazing flavor. I was going to do another video review, but I’m feeling like typing it out …
Quest Protein Bars sent me samples, and I wanted to break the review of them into two parts. First, I’ll talk about the nutrition aspect of the bars (ingredients, etc.), and later I’ll review the different flavors. Quest sent me the bars for free but the opinions are all my own! As a FitFluential Ambassador, …

Thanks for all of your great comments on my post about trying out Intermittent Fasting! I appreciate your perspectives, and I completely agree that IF is not for everyone…in fact, I’m not actually recommending it to anyone yet. I’m just testing it out on myself! Alison (who is my bloggie-neighbor) wrote a post about her …

Balance your sleep patterns and improve your body composition, health, and mood? Sign me up! Hormones—ahhhhhh. It’s a love/hate relationship we all have with our own. When we’re young, they are pretty hearty and intuitively do the most effective things (in most cases). Remember the days when you could eat, sleep, and drink in whatever …
It’s not a secret that I am a fan of Sun Warrior protein powder. Aside from the taste being good, I also like what its made out of—-sprouted brown rice protein. Remember my post about hemp protein? I like that too! In fact, I think hemp is my favorite, all things considered. I like plant …
Yesterday for breakfast, I had this: The day before, I had this: Today? Totally in the mood for a chocolate milkshake (ingredients: cacao powder, vegan protein powder, stevia, vanilla extract, ice): I drank half of this and dumped the rest—so I guess that was pretty wasteful. I know I won’t drink it later though, and …
Kristina and I have implemented a program called Fit It In, and it’s targeted toward getting people to move more—stretch and use muscles during the day (that don’t get used by just sitting at a desk). The idea is to pick a few exercises to do a couple times during the day. The benefits? (1) …
What is healthy today? Have you ever felt confused about what you should or shouldn’t eat to protect or enhance your health? We hear things all the time about how eggs are good for us (or bad), coffee is bad for us (or good), we need 30 minutes of exercise per day (or 60)… omega-3’s …
Why is health so confusing? Is coffee healthy? Are eggs? How about the debate between high-carb and high-fat diets? If you ever turn on the TV or indulge in any kind of popular media (or even many research reports), you’ve probably been confused at some point about what is healthy. I have been too. I’ve …
Hemp is a plant protein, which is good for you because it provides you with amino acids you need without other junk or the need for breaking down in the body. The benefit to this is that if your body doesn’t have to break down protein into amino acids, it can (1) use the amino acids …
