Tuna is a very convenient source of lean protein and therefore is an ideal option for a quick salad ingredient. The next time you want to shake things up for lunch or dinner, try this low carb, high protein tuna salad with a Thai twist: Thai Tuna Salad – 1 can of tuna in water/drained [...]
Turkey & Collard Green Roll-ups
My favorite lean, high protein alternative to burritos or spring rolls is the turkey & collard green roll-up. Turkey is a great source of protein as well as Tryptophan, which helps boost the “feel good” hormone serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is responsible for mood, appetite, sex drive and sleep among other things. When these [...]
My favorite egg white omelette
An ideal breakfast contains adequate protein, and the egg white omelette is an awesome choice for your first meal of the day. Add a piece of fruit such as a grapefruit or 1-2 pieces of Ezekiel bread and you have your lean protein, vitamins/minerals, fiber and complex carbohydrates for a very complete breakfast that is [...]

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee is prone to severe injury more so in women than in men.

This includes the members of your family. We’re universally attracted and [...]

Giving in to Temptation.
We all do it. The object of desire tempts and teases us. It invites us to give in and betray all that we know is right. It gnaws- prodding the next move, which is to indulge ourselves. You promise yourself this is the last time, until it happens again a few hours later. You’re angry, [...]
My Motivation
Not a day goes by when I don’t think about working out whether I get to or not, it’s on my mind at least a few times per day. Exercise is my drug. To stay motivated, I go into what I call “robot mode”. This is where I shut off all thinking and just do [...]
