Month: March 2020

Why is lunch the hardest meal to get excited about? I can eat the same breakfast every day and not get sick of it (banana and a protein bar, baby). When I'm prepping dinner, I have time to get creative and experiment. But when it comes to lunch, I'm stumped. I could go out, but it's so expensive. I want to try new recipes, but I don't have time to make a fresh lunch every night, and it's hard to find dishes that will stay good for a full week after I meal prep them.

I default to making the same quinoa salad every day, and while it's tasty and healthy, after a year, it's also gotten boring. I still want to keep things healthy, since it's the middle of the day and I'm not trying to feel bloated, sleepy, or blah until I head home. So I asked for recommendations from the experts: registered dietitians. Ahead, more than a dozen of themRead More – Source

What's worse than waiting a full 45 minutes for a spot at the ever-popular squat rack? Claiming your space and then promptly messing up on form and hobbling off with an injury.

The squat rack is a great tool for strengthening your lower body (hence why it's always so busy), but like any machine at the gym, when not used properly, it can contribute towards serious pain.

To keep your squat session free of mishaps, we reached out to Kristopher Brathwaite, an ACE-certified personal trainer at New York Health and Racquet Club, who filled us in on the three common mistakes made while squatting.

Excessive Knee Valgus
Brathwaite says this term indicates your knees are collapsing inwards toward the midline of the body.

“An issue like this can cause injuries to the structures responsible for creating knee stability — MCL and ACL tears are what immediately come to mind, especially for athletes,” Brathwaite says.

“How we train the body is how the body will perform when it comes ..

On the list of things we're excited for as the weather starts to warm up: beach days, sunshine, lighter clothing, relaxing by the pool, and picnicking with friends. On the list of things we're less thrilled about: shaving regularly again — especially our legs. It doesn't exactly help that we just spent the last however many months avoiding the activity, but getting back into the habit of shaving your legs can feel like a chore. That's when we start considering other hair removal options, like laser hair removal and waxing.

The body positive movement is all over Instagram, but what if the idea doesn't resonate with you? Sure you know diets are harmful and you're learning to embrace intuitive eating, but loving your body as it is right now is really challenging. You're not alone, and that's why you'll love hearing about body neutrality.

What is Body Neutrality?
“Body neutrality is about feeling neutral in your body and knowing that your body, appearance, and weight do not define your worth or how you feel about yourself,” explained registered dietitian Brenna O'Malley, creator of the health blog The Wellful, told POPSUGAR. This can be a really radical shift when we live in diet culture that tells us so many messages about what our bodies should look like, and many of us relate to roller-coaster-like relationships with dieting, exercise, and wanting to change our bodies.

Body neutrality helps find the middle ground. “You don't need to love all of your body all of the ti..
