The keto diet is the latest fad to hit the wellness world, and its adherents swear by the supposed benefits of the low-carb, high-fat eating style. “Keto” is short for ketosis, a metabolic process that involves burning fat instead of glucose (carbs) for energy. It sounds simple enough, but the process of getting into and staying in ketosis could be very difficult because there are foods that you can and cannot eat on a ketogenic diet....

legumes_310.jpg Watch: More Healthy Vegetarian Recipes I was a vegetarian for most of my college years, but I was not yet a nutrition major (that came in grad school). My diet in those days consisted of lots of bread, cheese, yogurt and fruit. Not surprisingly, I gained weight and became iron-deficient. Now years later and pounds lighter, I still favor a meatless diet (although not exclusively). However, as a registered dietitian and associate nutrition editor at EatingWell Magazine, I now know how to go meatless without missing out on the nutrients my body needs (nutrients in meat and fish that I can also get through certain “must-have” plant foods)....

Sheet-Pan Eggs with Spinach & Ham I’m hosting Easter brunch this year. As if looking through my billions of brunch recipes trying to decide what to make wasn’t enough of a challenge, I’m also putting a cap on how much I spend. Budget-friendly recipes are a must. Can I really pull off holiday entertaining on a budget? I can, if I choose my menu wisely. This year, I’ll skip the expensive spiral ham I usually serve and make a frittata with ham in it instead....
It’s important to eat enough protein throughout the day, as it aids in muscle recovery and repair, boosting your metabolism and keeping hunger at bay. However, it’s all about quality, too, and different types of protein bring different nutrition to the table. “When determining what types of protein are the best, I first think in terms of bioavailability, which is the portion of a nutrient that is absorbed in the digestive tract, its essential amino acid composition and its digestibility....
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, we’ve seen lots of changes in our lives, including when it comes to the food we eat. People have changed how they grocery shop, are cooking at home (and baking up a storm) and gardening more. One very large, unfortunate change has been that more people are worried about where their next meal is going to come from. Job losses have led to increases in food insecurity and long lines at food banks as they try and meet a growing demand....

The commercial bottles of orange juice you can find on supermarket shelves can be misleading—and not as healthy as you think....
MV7151.JPG Grilled cheese seems like the perfect food. It’s easy to make, has few ingredients and sports a crispy crust and a warm, gooey, cheesy center. What’s not to love? How about the 410 calories and 18 grams of saturated fat per sandwich? I don’t love that. Grilled cheese can attribute its high fat and calories to the butter spread on the outside of the bread to make it crispy and the copious amounts of cheese in the middle....

When following a special diet, like a low-carb diet for weight loss, it becomes even more important to eat a nutritious breakfast and to be strategic about the foods you’re choosing.
