A blog by a dietitian about running with a "dash" of real life and nutrition thrown in!
It has been a while since I have made a "What I Ate Wednesday" post. Lately I've whined about how my diet isn't helping me and I need to eat better, blah blah blah. So last week I tried really hard to eat food made at home, eat more fruits and vegetables, and drink water… Continue reading What I Ate Wednesday: A Week of Your RD on the Run’s Eats!
Today's blog is a little bit of a change of pace from my usual running talk. If you've been following me for a long time, you might remember my former blog handle - "The Keeping It Real Dietitian".

Yes, I'm excited that I'm getting a healthy serving of… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Toufayan Smart Pockets

With New Years resolutions in full force, many people that I know have decided that they want to take up running or get… Continue reading Stuff I Love: The Couch-2-5k Training Plan
As a registered dietitian working with clients that are trying to lose weight and getting ready for bariatric surgery, I am always looking for products for my patients that taste good and give them the best bang for their buck! Greek yogurt is definitely one of those items - you can't go wrong when you… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Dannon Light & Fit® Greek
Since I "keep it real" on this blog, I will tell you honestly that I am not a huge fan of fresh fruit or raw vegetables. I know, I know... as a dietitian, I should be raving about how wonderful fruits and veggies are. Don't get me wrong, they ARE super good for you, but… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Otria® Greek Yogurt Dips
So I am a big fan of Hungry Girl. I have a few of her recipe books and I get her almost daily emails. I have discovered a lot of delicious swaps for foods and ingredients that might be less than healthy for you through Hungry Girl. My latest, and probably BEST discovery, are the… Continue reading Stuff I Love: Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Dressing
