How to Sustain Healthy Eating Habits

Posted on June 1, 2020

Last week, I shared with you all my complete disdain for diets. Check out that post here. Honestly, I’ve always hated the idea of dieting and restricting myself when it comes to indulging in food. I mean, there’s nothing fun about denying myself carbs, dairy, or an occasional dessert. Well, that all changed when I stumbled upon a book called “Always Eat After 7 PM: The Revolutionary Rule-Breaking Diet That Lets You Enjoy Huge Dinners, Desserts, and Indulgent Snacks—While Burning Fat Overnight by Joel Marion”. This book introduces a groundbreaking program that goes against everything we used to think about diets and helps you sustain healthy eating habits for good.

What to do When You Hate Diets

Posted on May 26, 2020

What is it about dieting that makes it sound so horrible? Is it the idea of eating the same things day in and day out? Is it the constant restrictions that hang over your head? Or is it the fact that even if you achieve the results you desire, they’re short-lived and you have to start all over again? Let me just say – I HATE DIETS! I’ve experienced all the above. I have to say, the one thing that I hate the most about dieting, is the simple rule: no late-night eating.

How to Use Credit Cards Responsibly

Posted on May 7, 2020

Credit cards have always been my Achilles heel, until recently. I don’t know, it was something about buying now and paying later that always appealed to me. I remember when I got my first credit card, I was 18 and it was my sophomore year in college. Someone thought that it was a great idea to give me a credit card with a $500 credit line. Back then, $500 felt like a lot of money! I think it took me all of two months to max that credit card out. Was it irresponsible? Yes, absolutely. But I know that a lot of people have fallen victim to this. We’re not bad people. We just never learned how to use credit cards responsibly.
