Gettin’ Dizzy: Low Glycemic Diet PSA
Have you ever gotten a headrush from standing up too fast after sitting or sleeping? Started getting cold sweats or patchy temporary blindness from hunger?

Nutrition Find: Chia Squeeze
A question for the runners out there: Do you like to bring food or sports drinks along with you for your longer runs? This is recommended if you’re going to be running for longer than 30-40 minutes at a time, but personally I have a really hard time bringing stuff with me.

Don’t F%cking Eat It: Frozen Lunches

Dog Nutrition: Not Just for Hipsters *Recipe*
Whether it’s pets or kids, we trust brands to have their best interests at heart, but it seems some of the more “profitable” brands have become so by using substandard ingredients and corner-cutting methods. Where companies like Purina get off deciding that dogs suddenly eat crispy-crunchy cereal, rather than whole meats and plants, is beyond me.

How to Count Macros and Make Sense of Nutrition Data
If you’re trying to lean up or lose weight, and have a sedentary job like me, you’re going to be surprised at how much you overeat when you’re not consciously thinking about it, and how much easier it is to control bad eating habits when you can visualize what it’s doing to your body.

Nutrition Not Just a Health Concern Anymore…
With obesity on the rise in the United States, more and more people are trying to get a word in edgewise when it comes to the discussion of our national nutrition.
