			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Here are a few quick tips to get on the healthy eating track
1) Use spinach in salads instead of lettuce.&nbsp; Spinach is a nutritional superstar!
2) Buy pre cut fruits and veggies.&nbsp; I quit counting how many times people said &quot;I don't have time to cut up all those fruits and veggies&quot;, NO MORE excuses
3) Use ramekins in place of bowls.&nbsp; They only hold 1/2 cup for serving frozen yogurt and other treats.&nbsp; Yep 1/2 cup IS A SERVING SIZE!
4) Eat fish twice a week.&nbsp; Fatty fish like salmon and trout is best.&nbsp; 
5) Drink mostly calorie free liquids.&nbsp; Liquids do not register as food to the brain.&nbsp; &quot;The average American gets 22% of their calories from liquids&quot;&nbsp; YIKES!
6) Make your snack fruits and veggies.&nbsp; Try sliced veggies with one of my nut hummus recipes.&nbsp; 
7) When out for dinner pack up half your meal to go.&nbsp; Before your food even arrives tell the server you want half &quot;TO GO&quot;
8) When dining out ask for double the veggie rather than potato, rice or pasta.
9) Stick to one &quot;splurge&quot; per day.&nbsp; You should NOT&nbsp;feel deprived on a &quot;lifestyle&quot; eating plan.&nbsp; Allow yourself the simple pleasures on an occassional basis rather than the binge purge of too strict eating plans
10) Make something new each week whether it's an entree, new vegetable, or breakfast option.&nbsp; Keep your food interesting and try new things.&nbsp; My lastest is &quot;raw food&quot;.&nbsp; It's been a fun way to add some new exciting flavors to my palate.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This is my version of Breakfast Toast from the recipe book <u>Ani's Raw Food Deserts</u>, by Ani Phyo
I wanted to create both savory and sweet versions of her &quot;toast&quot;.
I used my oven set at the lowest setting to &quot;dry&quot; the mixture.
In a large bowl combine
2 1/4 c filtered water
1 cup whole flaxseed
1 cup buckwhet groats
2 TBSP chia seeds
1/4 tsp sea salt
Let this sit for about 20+ minutes until it becomes gelatinous.&nbsp; Both the flax seeds and chia seeds will thicken the mixture.
Once thickened add
&nbsp;2/3 cup black sesame seeds, I used black because it offered a nuttier flavor to me and a more colorful toast
1/4 cup finely chopped currants or raisins or try goji berries or other dried fruits
For fun&nbsp;try a variety of spices and/or herbs like ground cinnamon with the currants/raisins
I might try cacoa nibs next time and add a touch of espresso and/or mesquite powder
Or omit the fruit and add fresh herbs such as rosemary for a more savory toast perhaps adding your own touch of crushed nuts such as hazelnuts.
Evenly spread the mixture to about 1/4&quot; thick&nbsp;on a air baking sheet using a spatula.
Place in oven on lowest setting available.&nbsp; Remove after 2 hours and cut into 9-12 slices depending on your serving size.&nbsp; Return to oven for another hour.
Take out and flip each piece then return to oven for 2-3 more hours depending on how crisp or chewy you prefer the toast.
I store in the frig in an air tight container and it should &nbsp;last for a couple weeks except my husband gets ahold of it and it's gone after a week.

Love to hear any creative flavors you've come up with please share :)

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[For this recipe you will not need an oven.&nbsp; Yep no cooking involved on this one which makes it even quicker and easier.
I have included 2 options and variations depending on your dietary needs/wants.&nbsp; The truffles are more&nbsp;a &quot;treat&quot;.&nbsp; Adding the oatmeal or almond meal makes them more appropriate to take out on a hike to the mountains or a post workout snack.
To make the truffles:
In a food processor combine 3 c raw hazelnuts, 2 TBS raw chocolate agave syrup and enough coconut oil to make it stick.&nbsp; Careful not to add too much.&nbsp; I add a TBS at a time.
Those of you who would like to make without agave may use cocoa powder and 5-6 dates to sweeten.&nbsp; Adjust your ingredients to have a good consistency but not too sticky.
Roll into walnut sized balls then roll into unsweetened medium grated coconut.
TO MAKE THE BROWNIES:
Using the above mixture and you have 2 choices for binding into brownies.
Either oatmeal or almond meal.
If using oatmeal add to food processor approximately 1.5 cup and pulse until combined.&nbsp; Press firmly into a 9x9 glass dish.&nbsp; Cut into squares 
If using almond meal combine in a bowl approximately 1 cup and mix thouroughly.&nbsp; Press firmly into a 9x9 glass dish.&nbsp; Cut in squares.
I individually wrap for taking on hikes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[My Fitness Journey By Carrie White The choice I made 3 years ago was to train, not impulsively but with purpose. What I wanted was to complete a half marathon for the first time in my life.  I wanted to start exactly where I was at and build my body correctly to achieve a goal I believed may not be attainable, after all, I wasn’t a “runner”.  I sought out information and slowly pieced a plan together.   It took the loving support of an amazing running partner and a great pair of shoes but 5 months later I completed my first half marathon and officially referred to myself as a runner.  From there I had caught the fitness bug.  I knew that whatever I put my mind to I was capable of.   Fitness goals no longer represented something that I could not do but now were something I knew, that with the right plan and serious commitment I could achieve.  The sweat, pain, soreness and exhaustion were temporary but the results I would be left were something I could be proud of.  Along my journey, I decided to prioritize a personal trainer into my life and have built a level of strength I am very proud of.  I have recently decided to include my eating choices as a large and relevant factor in my fitness.  Prior to this decision, food was something of a non-issue to me.  I ate in a reasonably healthy way but not with purpose.  Now I am watching my body transform yet again and it feels great. As with most everything in life, consistency produces the best results.  A lot of feelings have come up for me along my fitness journey.  We are complex humans and we cannot escape how much our emotions are tied to the way we see our bodies.  Working through those feelings has allowed me to become more wholly myself. I highly recommend choosing fitness and health for life ]]></content:encoded>

			<title>Enhancing Quality of Life from 9 to 5 and Beyond</title>
			<link>http://www.insyncfitness.com//news/news-article/article/enhancing-quality-of-life-from-9-to-5-and-beyond/</link>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[While we know the benefits of exercise for lowering the risk of various diseases, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found in 2009 that more than 50% of American adults still do not get enough exercise. The WHIP Act (Workforce Health Improvement Program) was introduced in 2007 in an effort to make employee wellness and exercise programs tax free. While the economy led to the reduction of various types of programs and departments including worksite wellness programs, more companies are now realizing the benefits of corporate wellness. In a study from Harvard, medical costs can decrease by about $3.27 for every dollar spent on worksite wellness and disease prevention. Absenteeism costs also declined by about $2.73 for every dollar spent. In 2006, 19% of companies with 500 or more employees offered some type of wellness program. In 2008, that number jumped to 77%. The top 12 health care concerns that negatively impact work productivity were allergies, arthritis, asthma, cancer, depression, diabetes, heart problems, hypertension, headaches, respiratory disorders, skin conditions, and back/neck/spinal injuries. Due to this, more city agencies such as police and fire departments, government agencies, public schools and universities are hiring health and fitness professionals to create and offer prevention programs. In addition to opening up more career opportunities for health and fitness professionals, a study by MetLife found that nearly half of employers and 58% of employees report increased productivity and employee satisfaction.
