Cauliflower Rice Sushi (healthy, vegan, and gluten free)
Put me on “My Strange Addiction” because I am officially obsessed with cauliflower rice sushi.

Lakanto 55% Sugar Free Dark Chocolate: Plain, Almond, and Cocoa Nibs Bars Review
Figured that it’s Valentine’s Day, so here we are with the V-Day foodie sweetheart: chocolate. Instead of a recipe with chocolate, I decided to let someone else do the job and review a brand that currently sells some swoon-worthy chocolatey goodness. However, this isn’t a review of any ordinary chocolate. Lakanto has returned after killing…

The Reality of Metabolic Damage
I think the term “metabolic damage” itself poses a great deal of loaded questions. It’s almost like coming out of one’s shell after hiding something for such a prolonged period of time. How long have you been starving yourself? What are you doing that’s messing with your body? Are you secretly binging at midnight? When…

Before I get into anything, if you are a self-identified male reading this post right now, I suggest you exit out. Why? Because I want to talk about a pretty complex topic that strictly females deal with. Let me give you a hint: think of a red dot. Okay, I think you get the idea.…

Answering My Old Foodie Questions

Redefining Healthy
I find it kind of funny that I’m calling myself out on something that I used to believe I knew the ins-and-outs of. Currently, I retain much more knowledge than the average person–who is mildly calorie conscious and knows fruits and vegetables are important–but there is still so much unknown on my end. Heck, I…

Exercise and I: A Love Story with Complications
Any fitspiration source you come across will emphasize that abs are made at the gym and shown in the kitchen. Kill every gym session while drinking one too many glasses of juice (or wine if you’re of legal age) and the beautiful muscle sculpted will never show under a layer of fat. Sit on the…

Good Source vs. Bad Source
With the diversity in our food and the knowledge of macro and micro-nutrients we have at our disposal, it can be extremely puzzling to decide which foods to consume in order to obtain the nutrients sought after. No matter the food item, every single nutritionist, registered dietitian, health coach, fitness trainer, doctor, nurse, holistic practitioner,…
