KLEAN
This past week marked my last week of a partnership with KLEAN LA… which meant my glorious 24 day run of all things gluten and soy free, was coming to an end. But guess what? I had so much success and am feeling so great, I’m not going to stop! In 24 days, which basically spanned over 5 weeks (as I scheduled my deliveries to Monday-Friday), I lost about 6 pounds and feel fantastic! With 47 days until “the big day,” *(but who’s counting, really) I’m not stopping now!
There is obviously a big financial consideration when it comes to choosing to do a diet delivery service. But knowing that I ...Read More
Rosemary Ground Beef Bolognese With Baby Spinach & Brown Rice Pasta
Part of “going gluten-free” is making sure I take these healthy habits I’m learning from eating KLEAN LA and integrating them into my family life and my family food! While I’ve been on the “diet,” I have found myself making meals that that are more balanced and that are less laden in the things that I’m not eating (evne if I’m not eating them).

“Low-carb diets are so 2000! We are all becoming more educated on the benefits of eating a diet of balanced, whole foods. The use of complex-carbs in the Klean program plays a very important role. Carbs are our body’s main source of energy. If you completely eliminate carbs from your diet, your body breaks down your precious lean muscle for energy instead. The less lean muscle you have, the fewer calories you burn at rest and the slower your metabolism gets! This means you have to work ...Read More

If you come to my house and enter the kitchen, on the counter you’ll see a huge (and I mean huge) container labeled “VIRGIN DIET.” Usually people do a double take and wonder what exactly I’m doing and (usually the men) make a joke asking if I know that ship sailed for me a long time ago. Ha ha ha. I reassure them that I’m not becoming a nun but in fact trying to follow a diet created by JJ Virgin. The Virgin Diet calls for eliminating 7 things: Soy, corn, gluten, dairy, sugar and artificial sweeteners, eggs and peanuts.
Sounds cray ...Read More
