Anonymous asked: What's your opinion on those Boathouse drinks that they sell at Whole Foods such as Green Goodness or Vanilla Chai Tea?
Anonymous asked: Hi. So I'm 18, and I'm fat. I want to have a new start when I go to college in the fall. I want to be skinny, healthy and confident. So I need to lose some serious weight.

And for future, how to stay on track in college and not gain the freshman 15 which I definitely...
Anonymous asked: So I recently bought coconut oil and i'm unsure of how much to use, like, if I were to make a peanut butter and coconut oil sandwich, how much of it should I use? Do I use it like peanut butter?
perfectlylovely13 asked: Hey Courtney. I'm writing about the junior high swimmer who's doctor poo pooed going vegetarian. It is totally doable.

alexandragreen asked: Quick question for you. I love to eat fresh veggies, but I like to accompany them with a dip sometimes to make some veggies taste a little better. I usually just use ranch dip which I know is not very good for you, so I was curious if you could suggest any alternatives to pair with veggies that would taste good and would be good for me? Thanks Court!
inthebackyardlights asked: I recently developed a mild gluten allergy.. it started off that I couldn't eat anything with gluten without feeling sick, but now my body has kind of become tolerant of it again.

Casting doubt on the benefit of low-calorie sweeteners, research released Sunday reported that rats on diets containing saccharin gained more weight than rats given sugary food. The study in the journal Behavioral Neuroscience found that the calorie-free artificial sweetener appeared to break the physiological connection between sweet tastes and calories, driving the rats to...
3500 CALORIES = ONE POUND OF FAT
eatforhealth:
(fyi: I DID NOT write this, I copy and pasted from a newsletter I get from my nutritionist, but it’s a good read!)
I don’t usually talk about calories and calorie counting.
The way I see it (if you are one of my clients) is that you already know you are getting WAY too much starch in your diet, and usually not enough proteins, healthy fats and cooked vegetables.
