I've been told by my friends, family and colleagues that I am the "go-to girl" when it comes to sound nutrition and exercise advice. I have gone from a girl who struggled with her weight to a very fit young adult. I attribute this to following sound nutrition/exercise principles. While I don’t have a formal education in nutrition/exercise, I CAN offer practical advice for how to lose/maintain a healthy weight and ultimately live a healthy lifestyle. I want to offer advice that has worked for me.

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution on ABC
If you haven't watched this show yet, DO! Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution airs on ABC on Friday nights and it is truly an eye-opening show. It's sad to see how backwards our mindset is in America when it comes to eating healthy. To me, what's even more disturbing is how much junk food is marketed to our youth and sadly, how many unhealthy food choices are made available in our public schools. Without getting too much into this subject right now (because I could write a 30-page paper on the issue), watch the following clip (about the first minute of the clip) from Jamie Oliver's show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZh3awEU3YA.
I hope you're just as outraged as I am that French fries are considered a vegetable in public schools. And we wonder why more than 35% of America's youth (from ages 6-19) are classified as overweight according to the Center for Disease Control.
