These trendy diets, like keto and Paleo, are attractive options for weight loss, as you seemingly just have to follow a list of what (and what not) to eat to finally lose those 10, 20, even 30 pounds that you’ve almost given up on losing....

Coffee lovers, rejoice! A recent study published in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology found that high coffee consumption may help protect your liver from chronic disease. According to the study, drinking more than three cups of coffee was associated with less liver stiffness. (FYI: Physicians can assess the progress of chronic liver disease through a noninvasive imaging test called elastography, which measures the “stiffness” of the liver. Stiffness is associated with conditions such as liver inflammation, fibrosis and more....

In a message to its employees on Monday, Starbucks revealed that it will be closing 16 American locations in five cities by the end of the month.

“Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?” That was the Dwayne Johnson (AKA The Rock)’s tagline when he was performing in the WWE, and after seeing what he whipped up for his family for Mother’s Day, we almost can: It’s not the first time Johnson has shared a peek at the fluffy yet perfectly crispy-edged pancakes on his feed. In fact due to earlier “tastes” that garnered so much fan interest on social media, he teamed up with his personal chef, Janette “Puttie” Clark to film a little demo video for her Instagram feed....

Homemade Ranch Dressing with Veggies Homemade Ranch Dressing with Veggies Homemade Ranch Dressing with Veggies Homemade Ranch Dressing with Veggies Growing up in the Midwest, I was raised to believe that ranch dressing was so much more than a dressing; it’s practically its own food group. As a kid, we’d dunk school-lunch pizza and chicken nuggets in tubs of store-bought ranch, Mom would fold the bottled kind into casseroles and creamy salads, use it as a condiment for burgers and sandwiches galore and beyond....

Cookbook author, playlist-curator, TV host, gardener, cook and entertainer extraordinaire Ina Garten can now add “tour guide” to her resume.

With this inspiring social media campaign continuing from 2021 into 2022, Garten seems to be on a mission to inspire all of her fans to head to the east end of Long Island’s South Fork to dip their toe into the seaside community’s waters (plus its culinary scene, local boutiques and more)....

However, you might tend to work through lunch, staying chained to your desk while you gobble up a sandwich from a nearby fast-food restaurant or deli, nosh on a microwave meal or grab a protein bar or smoothie and call that good enough....

Don’t worry; we aren’t going to tell you to stop eating after 5 p.m. However, you might be doing some things, from the time you log off work until you hit the hay, that are preventing you from losing weight. While a small, sustainable calorie deficit is needed for weight loss, emerging research on circadian rhythms, the timing of meals and intermittent fasting shows that when you eat may be just as important as what you eat....

We asked the experts for seven ways to refine your everyday routine. Some changes may speak to you more than others. “It’s not going to be easy to make all these changes and it’s harder to make all the changes at once.

Ever since I started Nordic walking on the paved trails where I live in Indiana, I’ve drawn a lot of attention to myself. People comment on the poles I use, shouting funny things like “Where’s the snow?” or “Are you asphalt skiing?” I honestly don’t mind. It’s a chance for me to rave about the health benefits of the sport. (And little do they know: I’ve competed in Nordic walking for almost a decade, snagging six world championships and six world records....

pepperoni pizza Credit: Getty / Vladislav Nosick On Tuesdays, I dig into a big, gooey, cheesy pizza with my family. Sometimes it’s wood-fired, others deep-dish, but most of the time it’s your run-of-the-mill thin crust—the kind that’s cut into squares. (I live in the Chicago ‘burbs. I think it’s a Midwestern thing.) Years ago, this wouldn’t have been possible for me. I went to pizza places but would order a caprese salad, an appetizer that’s undeniably delicious but was eaten because it felt “safer” than a slice....

With all the health hype around protein-it helps keep you full, builds muscle and helps you maintain your weight-it’s no wonder people want to eat more of it. Now, you can even get a protein boost in your candy bar. Mars is making protein-packed Snickers, Mars, Bounty and Milky Way bars.
