At its most basic level, losing weight comes down to calories in calories out. This means the calories you eat must be less than the calories that you burn; therefore, losing weight can be really challenging considering that the best tasting foods are often very high in calories.

Wellness Trends for 2019
Most new year’s resolutions are always the same: Eat healthier, get more exercise, focus more on wellness – but with so many trends and everyone looking for the next “magic pill” it’s hard to find something that resonates with you, as well as being doable. How many of us have started the year full of…
Local Spotlight: Vancouver’s own AURA Nutrition protein
How much protein do you really need per day? The science says 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight or 0.36 grams per pound. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but that is just a guideline for sedentary lifestyles. The right amount of protein will also depend on how active you are, your…

This is a great alternative for vegetarians! But that’s not entirely what I want…

Smoothies are a wonderful thing. They can be a meal on-the-go or a mid-afternoon energy boost. It all depends on what you add in your blender. I tend to go for the exact same mix every morning: a banana, nut mylk, some sort of leafy green, chia seeds (or a form of omega-3’s), natural peanut…
A Toxin-Free Movement with the Rocky Mountain Soap Co

They’re basically a toxin-free movement – that just happens to make amazing products. If you haven’t already noticed, I’m a fan of their stuff. Specially their…
