You have heard of gluten but what is it? Are you allergic to it?
The next time you’re in the supermarket, take notice of all the gluten-free products: waffles, bread, ice cream, soy chips, cereals...the list is nearly endless. In fact, the gluten-free industry is now worth over $6 billion, up more than 33 percent since only as recently as 2009. Why the booming growth in the gluten-free market? The rates of gluten--which is the protein in wheat and other grains--sensitivity has exploded over the years. The National Institutes of Health, in conjunction with the University of Chicago’s Celiac Disease Center released statistics that... Read more...
Why Counting Calories Doesn't Work
    In 2010, Weight Watchers, one of the most commercially successful diet programs, dropped a bomb on the weight-loss world by altering its points system. It was the first time in 13 years that Weight Watchers modified its mega-popular points system. The point system change acknowledged that while calories in versus calories out is still important, it’s more important what you eat. The old paradigm point system was flawed. Weight Watchers’ president came to the conclusion--which no doubt many natural health experts have known for decades--“Calorie counting has become... Read more...
How to be satisfied on a diabetic diet
Perhaps you’ve recently been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. Your doctor has sternly warned you to improve your diet or else you’ll be susceptible to developing dire medical consequences. Even if you feel fine now, diabetes can harm all major organs, including the eyes and heart. It can also be a contributor to developing Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis. For a carb-crazy person, the notion of giving up their favorite foods to improve diabetes is a depressing thought. It’s very likely that some people with diabetes believe that they have to eat...

Celebrity Chef Rocco Dispirito Endorses Miracle Noodle
 Celebrity Chef Rocco Dispirito, in his latest best-selling book,  “Now Eat This,” writes a compelling argument in the forward of the book: “How can I be expected to eat healthy if the healthy foods aren't the ones I want to eat?” A valid argument for sure.... So how do most people adopt a healthy eating regimen even though they don’t necessarily want to eat many of the health foods recommended to them by a weight loss coach or registered dietician or other nutrition professional? “Surrender,” says Dispirito in his book....

What are normal blood sugar levels?
If only you could feel like Superman all day…alert, energetic, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound…. How do we often try to feel like Superman? By drinking energy drinks, multiple cups of coffee, a few donuts and other high-glycemic or caffeinated fixes. For the first few minutes after consuming a sugary or chemical-buzz inducing treat, we fleetingly feel like a superhero. How quickly, though, we come crashing back down to Earth as our blood sugar levels, after skyrocketing, fueling the brief energy burst, then plummets, making us... Read more...
Do Carb-Conscious Dieters Need to Avoid Pasta?
If you’re carb conscious, chances are you equate the word ‘carb’ with other dirty, four-letter words. Carbs bloat, carbs make you fat, carbs cause inflammation, carbs cause chronic diseases, carbs wreak havoc on your bikini figure... If you avoid most carbs like plague, you have good reason to: the modern processing of many carbohydrates and the overzealous snacking of the typical westerner has, in large part, caused our bloated federal health care system to devour nearly twenty percent of the federal budget. Feasting on carbs, in other words, is responsible... Read more...
Why You Shouldn't Cook with Canola Oil
Mmmm…rapeseed… Sounds delicious, does it not? Unless you live on a farm and grow all your own food and never eat packaged foods, you’ve consumed rapeseed. And if you do eat out often or buy packaged foods, you’re likely swallowing the seed’s unpalatable-sounding oil every day. It doesn’t take a marketing expert to realize how unappetizing ‘rapeseed’ sounds, so approximately 30 years ago, marketers decided that the product name ‘rapeseed oil’ would not fly off the shelves at supermarkets and rechristened it as “Canola oil,” in deference to Canada, which...

Why there is no protein in Miracle Noodle
It’s a bit of a surprise that no entrepreneur has made a killing selling protein beer. Let’s put on our advertising thinking cap for a second and invent a name for this hypothetical libation that’s taking the nation by storm, satisfying the thirst of gym rats, soccer moms, standard run-of-the-mill alcoholics who might think that the more protein beer they drink, the healthier they’ll become...and everyone in between...let’s see...how about: Amino Beer? Imagine, an afternoon hitting the gym for a muscle-pumping workout, then straight to the bar for a protein... Read more...
Delicious Guilt-Free Mac ‘N’ Cheese...Under 100 calories!
What is every child’s favorite noodle dish? If you took a survey of 100 kids, it’s most likely at least 90 prefer macaroni and cheese.

If you love mac n cheese, say hello to... Read more...
Easy Low-Carb Desserts with Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice
What most people consume for dessert, be it ice cream, cake, cookies, brownies, or other sinfully-rich, sugar-loaded treats, is not healthy. Most desserts precipitously raise blood sugar levels.  This is especially problematic in the U.S.A., a country that by the year 2050, if current trends continue, may have a sugar-related epidemic, with 1 out of 3 American adults becoming diabetic, the Centers for Disease Control predicts. In an effort to become healthier, thousands of Americans have gone gluten-free, naively believing that avoiding gluten gives them carte-blanche to eat any dessert guilt-free. But sugar itself is gluten-free so somebody... Read more...
Is Oatmeal Gluten-Free?
 Unlike other nutrition fads that have come and gone, oatmeal has been a mainstay for dozens of years. Easy and quick to make, oatmeal is one of the most nutritious breakfasts.   Millions of people every morning start their day with a piping hot bowl of it. As long as it’s not mixed with spoonfuls of sugar or agave or any other sweetener besides stevia or cinnamon, oatmeal provides slow-burning carbohydrates, providing rock-steady energy until it’s time for lunch.   But for those who have gone gluten-free, either because they...
