Intelligent Eaters, If you've noticed there haven't been any postings for a while, it is for a very good reason! I have accepted a position as a nutrition counselor and it is in the best interest of the company I place my blogging and social media efforts towards my day job versus my side business. Please refer to Nutritional Weight & Wellness' business page for future postings and to tune in! You will find SO MUCH great information. Until another time, always remember to..... EAT INTELLIGENTLY :D

Pictured is another great example of smart snacking: Greek yogurt cup with 1/2 cup of blueberries and 8 walnut halves. You've got protein, complex carb, and healthy fat in the mix. Happy snacking :) http://instagr.am/p/KIH4H7Ku5L/

Do your metabolism a favor: eat every 3-4 hours, making sure to include a source of lean protein, good fat, and complex carbohydrate at every meal and snack. This trick ensures a steady supply of nutrients to your body and allows your blood sugar levels to stay stable, which is one way to make you feel satisfied instead of famished! Example" Turkey roll-up combining nitrate free turkey and avocado. Add apple slices in the middle or on the side - it's up to you!

Snazz up your salmon dish and create Coconut Curry Salmon! On a 1 lb. wild salmon fillet, top with 1.5 Tbsps of coconut oil, 1 tsp of curry powder, adding salt and pepper to taste. Cook at 350 for 15 minutes or until flakes easily. Add a side of asparagus and you have yourself a delicious, nutritious, and oh-so-easy meal! (the fillet makes 3-4 servings) http://instagr.am/p/J-WXIBKuwn/

If your morning consists a of working out first thing, or if you need an easy breakfast option, a berry packed protein smoothie is an excellent and nutritious choice! Pictured: contains protein powder (via whey protein concentrate), unsweetened almond milk, yogurt and frozen berries! Voila! What you get is a metabolism boosting, antioxidant rich breakfast. Give it a whirl :) http://instagr.am/p/J4WVnOKu_j/

I will admit that I am a complete coffee snob. My morning wouldn't be complete without a freshly ground medium roast . But is this habit healthy of detrimental? The most recent research points that it may help lower risk of stroke, certain cancers and degenerative diseases of the brain. Just remember to watch all the additions that can turn your morning cup into a caloric nightmare! http://www.aolnews.com/2011/03/15/studies-show-coffee-drinkers-get-health-perks/

Recent studies have shown that rather than being harmful, coffee actually provides a variety of health benefits, including lowered risk of gallstones, liver disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and certain cancers.
