"Real" Food?

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to share with you an experience I had with a good friend of mine while I was out one warm summer evening in downtown Chicago last month (and believe me, we have had a lot of them here in Chicago). We were looking for a place to "cool our heels" so to speak and have more time to chat.  My friend knows that I am a bit of a health fanatic, so he was quite apprehensive about suggesting some of his normal chow-down spots for us to get refreshments. You know, the places where "fat is king & lean is mean"? There's a lot of great spots in downtown Chicago to eat (one day I'll have to give you a list of some of my favorites), but finding one that fits with a healthy lifestyle can be a bit challenging at times...unless you know where to look.

Can You Go Vegetarian This Thanksgiving?

I have been asked  numerous times about the healthiest way to eat after the holidays. But what about during the holidays?   It is a known fact that many Americans experience substantial weight gain between the months of October through December.  Some may ask why this occurs.  The truth is there are a myriad of reasons as to why this occurs: inclement weather tends to make one less likely to want to exercise outdoors, limited sunlight can cause your circadian rhythms to become off balanced and may make you more sedentary, and at least a few dozen other factors. However, overwhelmingly, food is typically the culprit. We tend to consumer fattier & less nutritious meals during the late fall to early winter seasons. As weight loss becomes more challenging this ultimately causes you to work out even harder after the holiday seasons...unless you take action to offset the excess weight.    I believe that it is quite possible to create a nutritious and de

What Is Organic Food ? Good Question.....

Organic foods have been a heated topic of discussion for years between both academics & health food enthusiasts alike. I am not here to get into the intricacies of either argument. I will leave that to the appropriate forums dedicated to that type of debate. I simply want to illustrate the benefits of natural, untreated foods. First, a layman's definition of organic food.
