		<title>Tasty tip for light and fluffy quinoa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I absolutely love quinoa. It&#8217;s a true superfood, packed with amazing nutrients, high in protein, and gluten-free, making it an excellent addition to almost anyone&#8217;s diet. I&#8217;ll confess that until recently, I have not been the best at making it. Sometimes it would come out too crunchy, sometimes mildly mushy, but for some reason it was never as light and fluffy and perfect as I&#8217;ve had when it was made for me properly.
Until now.
I learned a great tip from Chef James of Wholesome2go for how to prepare quinoa properly. It ...]]></description>

		<title>Transitioning safely to a vegetarian diet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The most recent question posed to me on the &#8220;Ask Margaret&#8221; feature at Spud! was about safely transitioning to a more plant-based diet. Here&#8217;s the question and my response.
&#8220;I’m trying to eat less meat and would like to know how I could transition without losing any nutrients that are vital for a healthy diet. What should I be eating in place of meat?&#8221;
When transitioning to a diet with less meat, here are a few things you want to be sure to do:

Make sure you’re eating loads of vegetables and fruits, ...]]></description>

		<title>How safe is soy? The underside of America&#8217;s favorite health food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Soy is certainly not as healthy as has been promoted. Originally soy wasn’t intended for human consumption – it was used in crop rotations in Asia for its nitrogen-fixing properties. Soy is incredibly difficult to digest because it has powerful enzyme inhibitors that essentially prevent its own digestion. It is really only fully digestible when it has been fermented...]]></description>

		<title>Naked Breakfast-to-go Ideas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here are some of my favorite grab-and-go breakfasts:

1-2 hardboiled eggs and some fresh fruit – you can boil eggs at the beginning of the week so you have them when you need them.

Pre-soaked oatmeal – this does require some cooking, but it’s minimal and really fast. The key is the preparation the night before. ]]></description>

		<title>Nutritional Benefits of Grass-Fed Beef</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grass-fed beef is certainly nutritionally superior to corn-fed beef for the simple reason that in their natural environment cows eat grass, not corn (when was the last time you drove by a corn field and saw cows gnawing at the corn?) When eating what they are biologically designed to eat, the cows themselves are healthier, and thus the quality of the meat and dairy they produce is significantly higher.]]></description>

		<title>Americans lead the way in eating non-naked foods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Will it surprise you if I shared that Americans eat more packaged food than their counterparts in almost every other country? A recent New York Times article shared that we eat 31% more non-naked foods (pre-prepared, refined, packaged food, made with the goals of speed and convenience trumping nutrition and health) than fresh food. Refined, packaged, non-naked foods have been shown to lead to higher rates of heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

One more reason among many to Eat Naked! ]]></description>

		<title>Kale Chips &#8211; A great alternative to potato chips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a big junk food fan, but I&#8217;ll admit there&#8217;s something satisfying to the odd handful of potato chips now and again. Some of my clients really crave them, and I wanted to find an alternative that was nutritious and yummy, not packed with unhealth fats, unnecessary fake flavors, and too much salt.
Enter kale chips. &#8220;Really?&#8221; you might be asking. &#8220;Isn&#8217;t kale that bitter leafy green that can be kinda tough and hard to get down?&#8221; Well, personally I love kale, but even for those who don&#8217;t (and I&#8217;ve ...]]></description>

		<title>The First Strawberry of the Season: Savoring the little moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the basic principles of a naked lifestyle is to savor the simple pleasures in life. Abundant and free, they require very little of us other than to take the time to pause and notice them.
I was reminded of this by Deb Joy of Bcelebrated in a recent note she wrote to those of us doing the Year to Live challenge:
“I&#8217;ve found the best way to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary is to pay attention… What I noticed was that at all times I was surrounded by beauty. ...]]></description>

		<title>Help me reach the finish line and win 6 months of free nutritional counseling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I shared in Living 2010 Fully that I&#8217;ve made the decision to live 2010 as though it were my last year to live. I am living it FULLY &#8211; taking the risks, following my heart, and relishing every little delicious moment that this life has to offer.
One of my life-long goals is to run a marathon. I&#8217;ve talked about doing this for years, but I&#8217;ve never successfully made it to actual race day for all sorts of reasons I won&#8217;t bore you with. This year I&#8217;m intent on reaching my ...]]></description>

		<title>Raw, grain-free &#8220;couscous&#8221; with a secret ingredient you&#8217;ll never guess</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Love couscous but have a gluten sensitivity? Or want to stay away from too many refined carbs? Or want to increase the nutritional density of your side dishes but keep some of that comfort flavor? Well, do I have a trick for you.
Here&#8217;s a salad that mimics your basic couscous Greek-style salad, but instead of using actual couscous, or any other grain substitute for that matter (I often substitute quinoa for the couscous to avoid the gluten), this version uses a secret trick I learned from my friend, wellness coach ...]]></description>
