Cravings. We’ve all had them. So many of our guests at our boot camp vacation ask how to curb cravings. For many people, they’re easily fought off at times and too much to fight off at other times. Cravings come from a number of different sources and managing them can be hard to do in the moment. If you’re armed with the right information and an action plan, you’ll have a better chance of keeping them at bay.
Read MoreA question that always presents itself with clean eating is how much time will it take to cook all of this healthy food? Most people are busy. At our fitness retreat, it’s easy to eat healthy because all of your food is cooked for you. What about real life though? We lead lives full of commitments like work, family, personal time, friends, appointments, home projects and so much more. How do people fit it all in? The truth is that taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do.
Read MorePlant based eating has come into the forefront of nutrition over the last few years. Eating more plants has a ton of benefits from vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients to plant based fats, fiber and more. We encounter many people who want to include more plants in their diet for a number of reasons — whether it be health reasons, moral reasons or to try a different eating style. It seems many of the guests that come to our wellness retreat or for private coaching are interested in adding more plants to their daily nutrition.
Read MoreEveryone is talking about counting “macros” these days. I feel like every time I pull up Facebook or Instagram, there’s a post either detailing how to count macros or someone is posting a pic of their perfectly portioned macro counted meal. I also see posts where people are questioning if they should count macros and if so, can they get some tips from their social media friends. Many of our fitness retreat guests also wonder wether macro counting is important for them and their goals. It’s something that has come into the forefront of nutrition so I felt like it was important to address the topic. This post isn’t about how to count macros. It’s about whether or not it’s actually important for you to do so — because to be honest, counting macros isn’t appropriate for everyone.
Read MoreAnyone else a pineapple lover? I love pineapple. I love the sweetness of it. I like adding it into shakes or just eating it on it’s own. One of my favorite ways to eat pineapple is for a dessert with a little real whipped cream or coconut whipped cream on top…so good! Not only is it delicious but it also has a ton of nutrition benefits as well.
Read MoreMindful eating has come to the forefront of health and nutrition lately. It’s not always what you eat but how you eat that can make positive changes in your health and wellness. I can attest to this! I’m someone who’s tried every eating program, the newest fad diet and the oldest plan in the book. I’ve tried low carb, keto, gluten free, carb cycling, paleo and many others. What I realized is that figuring out what worked for me took much more than just experimenting with a new nutrition plan. It meant digging deeper to find out how I needed to eat versus what I needed to eat.
Read MoreStarting a new nutrition program can sometimes be frustrating, challenging and confusing. We know – we’ve seen it with both our fitness retreat guests and our coaching clients.

Read MoreI decided to write this post because this is a common conversation that I have with retreat guests and lifestyle coaching clients. So many people are looking for a quick, easy yet healthy option to take as a snack. Whether you’re a busy mom or dad or you travel for work, protein bars can be an easy, convenient supplement to your daily food intake.
I also decided to write this post because I am always searching for the best protein bars that are healthy and don’t have a ton of junk in them. I like bars with just a few ingredients if possible, that are lower in sugar and have a good ratio of protein, carbohydrates and fat.
