NEW BLOG POST: How Tom Brady's Diet Lost the Superbowl
It’s close to 2 weeks after the one of the best played super bowls in years. Minimal penalties, great plays and a historical win by the Eagles (of which I predicted back in week 4, seriously! Primarily because I love Carson Wentz). The only thing that could have made it better was a surprise throwback to NSYNC with Justin Timberlake at Halftime. Aside from that, the two teams were relatively evenly matched, except for the quarterbacks and their diets.... Read more here

New Blog Post and YouTube Video
“Health at Every Size” is a term you probably have seen all over social media and news. People either embrace it or demonize it. Some claim that it helps with self acceptance, positive body image, while others argue it enables obese people to remain obese, and those suffering with eating disorders to justify their behaviour. But what does it really mean? What is the purpose of the “Health at Every Size” movement. Read more about the truth behind "Health at Every Size" here.
Below is our latest YouTube video talking about how alcohol impacts your body while training for endurance sports. Enjoy!

New Blog Post: Meal Planning Made Easy
It’s back-to-school season. That means back to routine and (hopefully) some sense of normalcy compared to summer. Regular schedules make it easier to predict mealtimes. However, school commitments can also lead to less free time. What does this mean in terms of healthy eating? Meal planning is key. Many of my clients get so overwhelmed by the idea meal planning they don’t know where to start. Following the steps outlined in this blog post will help provide you some guidance.
Updates on our Blog and Media sections

New Blog Post: Are these "health" foods sabotaging your weight loss goals?
Are you an active individual eating a healthy diet and puzzled as to why you can’t take off the last 10-20 pounds? Specializing in sport nutrition and weight loss I see a couple common mishaps.
Could a few key “health” foods be kiboshing your weight loss efforts? These 3 come to mind.
1. Granola
2. Nuts and nut butters
3. Salads
The common denominator in this list is they are all deemed health foods with a number of nutritional benefits. While this is TRUE, there are some key considerations... Read more

New Blog Post: What Dietitians Need You to Know About Coconut Oil
Everywhere you look, there are social media posts and articles claiming coconut oil to be the magical answer for digestion, dry skin, weight loss, and everything in between.

BEN'S NEW BLOG POST
DNF: an abbreviation for the three words that can shatter an athlete’s world; Did Not Finish. For the first time in my life I received a DNF for MY event of the year, the Muskoka Half Ironman. For many of you, you may be thinking that a DNF is a sigh of relief to make it so that you don’t have to swim 1.9km, bike 90km and run 21.1 km all back to back, but it’s soul crushing for a triathlete...

DANIELLE'S NEW BLOG POST
It's finally starting to look and feel like summer in Toronto! This short but fun-filled season motivates people to go back to the gym and eat healthier. With this mindset comes the idea of CHEAT MEALS such as burgers and fries.
Our ESN Dietitian, Danielle isn't a big fan of the term "cheat meal" but enjoys burgers and fries once in awhile. Read our latest blog post to find out why.
