Eating mainly raw food can seem daunting, but it’s actually pretty basic once you get the hang of it. Here are some of my favourite things that I eat regularly: Sprouted lentils, beans and legumes. They take about 5 days to sprout, and all you have to do is put them in a jar with [...]
I adored the Carb Lover’s Diet Cookbook as last month’s nutrition challenge – awesome tasty recipes! The only issue Mr. Science and I had was that we used brown rice pasta for the pasta dishes, and it was not filling. Anyways, this month is a transition to raw food! I’m using Natalia Rose’s book, The [...]
March was supposed to be the month for the Mediterranean diet, but since Mr Science isn’t a huge fan of seafood, and I received a lovely book in the mail to review (The Carb Lovers Diet Cookbook), I decided to make my new cookbook the nutrition-challenge-of-the-month! This book includes recipes for muffins, steak, potato wedges, [...]
Tomorrow is the last day of the detox month for the Ultimate Nutrition Challenge, and then we begin the real food month! I’m very excited for it. But first, a recap on the detox. January: Detox The detox went really well the first couple weeks. Then after that my heart just wasn’t in it and [...]

Hello friends! I am home from NYC and back at last to the blogging world. I fully intended to blog all last week, but Mr. Science and I arrived home from New York late on Sunday night (the 18th), and then I was awake at 7am to begin my first day at my new job [...]
For months now, I’ve been itching to do another nutrition challenge. It’s been ages since I last did one! But I’ve been holding it off because I wanted to get emotional eating under control (I think that’s a good enough challenge in and of itself). Thanks to Geneen Roth, I’ve been able to handle the [...]
I’ve been talking a lot about green smoothies recently, so I figured I should highlight the awesomeness of them and explain why you should start incorporating them into your diet! From first-hand experience, I can honestly say that green smoothies made me feel amazing. I liked having a little bit of solid food each day, [...]
