More reasons to skip skim (in case grey coffee isn't reason enough)
We’ve said it before…if you do dairy (and we do), you have to skip the skim. It’s better for your weight, your skin, your bones and your fertility. Recent research adds further evidence to our skim-stance. A study published in Circulation analyzed the blood of 3,333...
Maybe you'll never "love your body" (and that's OK)
Monday, I admitted to a major meltdown. I joked (or bitched) about being kitchen-less before a beach vacation. The subtext was that I like to clean things up with my diet before the whole bathing suit situation. That same day, a colleague’s Instagram post caught my...
I freaked out majorly: warning 1st world problem
I haven’t written in a bit but I have a good reason. I was in food shock. It started a few weeks ago. We decided- I should say I decided to replace our cracked kitchen tile and countertops. My husband gave me the “is this really necessary?” line. The truth...
Foodtrainers' hits LA and the rain hits Foodtrainers
Lauren posted all about our Expo West Experience, but she left out our “adventure” getting there. Here’s a travel day follow up, because there are always things (monsoons, traffic, room reservations gone missing) that throw off the best laid plans. Foodtrainers' LA...
Coffee, Crickets, Kombucha and other trends from Expo West
So sad this is among best photos with both of us from the trip I’m sitting on the plane. My magazine binge is complete (Food & Wine’s “The New Healthy” issue good but Bon Appetit’s Culture even better), inbox has been cleaned out, the book I’m reading at a lull...

Lauren and I have the travel bug in a major way; we are both Semester at Sea alums and plan our lives around our next trip. She’s off to Nicaragua; I’m Moab and Amalfi coast. But first we have a quickie work trip to California this weekend (Expo West, anyone?). Quick...
Fave new snack because I heart ranch (anything)
order beach bundles by 3/9 as we're headed away too I took tennis lessons when I was younger. I don’t remember anything about the lessons or the instructor. I don’t even know exactly what age I was. I recall taking a taxi home so you’d think I was a teen or preteen...

The MUNCHIES: What too little sleep and marijuana have in common
If you read our manifesto, The Little Book of Thin, from cover to cover like you better have (wink wink), you know sleep is one of Lauren’s 10 Steps to Svelte. When you sleep your hunger hormones recalibrate. We’ve known that less sleep generally means more hunger but...
What to do when only a bagel will do?
Following my poke' post on Monday, a friend texted me the following question: I read your post on lunch. Can I ask a professional question? What do you recommend to overcome stress eating when only a bagel will do?? I’m sharing my response as I think many...
Poke' is worth leaving your desk for
Usually, when I have a healthy discovery I cannot wait to spread the word. But there are certain instances where I hesitate, there’s an inclination to be greedy. I had that “I’m not sure if I should spread the word” thought as I ate my lunch on Friday. For weeks...
Have you Shakshuka-ed? With this giveaway you will.
There are only so many ways to reinvent breakfast. Smoothies, yogurts and toasts are great but I end up returning to eggs. We always have (omega 3) eggs in the house and they keep me satisfied. I’ve had Shakshuka a few times out for brunch but never made it at home....
