Foods > Snacks
There's a time of day inbetween meals when your blood-sugar starts to fall and you have cravings. It's important during this time to not "go crazy" and snack on the first thing you see. Snacks, especially those eaten in the afternoon when you've already had about two-thirds of your daily caloric intake, can throw off your diet pretty quickly. So make sure you snack smartly: fill in those food groups you've been neglecting, keep the calories down, and don't overindulge!

Small Dietary Changes, Big Results
Hit a plateau in your weight-loss program? Perhaps your diet is the problem. The foods you choose to eat or not eat may not be having the effect on your body that you think they are. Just because a food is low in calories and low in fat does not mean it is an ideal food for your diet. Educate yourself on the real effects different foods have on your bodies.

Chocolate that improves heart health?
There's been a swirl of media attention surrounding a new chocolate product from Mars Inc. called CocoaVia. The bars are made from a kind of dark chocolate high in flavanols, which is an antioxidant found in cocoa beans that is thought to have a blood-thinning effect similar to aspirin and may even lower blood pressure. CocoaVia bars are also enriched with vitamins and injected with cholesterol-lowering plant sterols from soy. But is it safe to say you can eat at will and have only positive benefits? Experts are wary, so if you choose to indulge, moderation is still your safest bet.
