As long as I can remember, I have started my dinner meal with a salad. (Thanks Mom & Dad!) Whether I am dining in or dining out – it doesn’t seem to matter. It’s also one of the first healthy eating tips I provide to my patients and the media. The reason for this is two-fold: 1.

I eat breakfast, go to class, and then want to eat again! I will admit though that sometimes a latte or iced coffee does the trick of holding me over to lunch. Other times I simply eat lunch early!

Now that summer is in full swing I think it is apropos to talk about bloating. Hey, when you’re putting on that bathing suit, bikini or one piece, feeling bloated just sucks! I think this article could be quite helpful in providing some useful tips. Honestly though, not sure I agree with tip number 4. As I have said many times before – NOT all carbs are created equal; pasta, whole wheat bread, brown rice do not need to be diminished from your diet!
