9 Kitchen Hacks That Will Make Healthy Eating So Much Easier

We’ve all been there: You come home from a long day at work and you’re exhausted. You’re so hungry, you could start gnawing on your arm at any moment. Nothing sounds good, and at the same time everything sounds good—so you start munching on the bag of chips as you plan your meal, and before long you're not even hungry for dinner.

Want Great Abs? Here’s What You Should Be Eating

You've heard the line "Abs are made in the kitchen." But what does that mean? “You can’t exercise away the effects of a poor diet, particularly for an area that hangs on to fat and gets bloated,” says Kasey Brixius, RDN, a nutritionist at Canyon Ranch in Tucson, Arizona. Read on for tips on how to keep belly fat at bay and make your abs stand out.

What happens to your body when you drink milk every day?

These days, it's virtually impossible to know who or what to believe when it comes to healthy eating and staying fit. The tsunami of information with which we're deluged upon doing something as simple as googling "is [insert food/drink item here] good for you" means that, more often than not, it's almost easier to remain uninformed than risk trying to decipher the reasonable advice from the marketing propaganda.

What you don't want to know about fast food

You might swear you're never doing drive-thru ever again, yet at some point, you're probably going to end up eating fast food. But you can still make good choices. We don't mean salads and grilled chicken. We're talking about avoiding certain food items that, according to the people who work inside that infamous window, are gross, unsanitary, or just plain strange.

The real differences between a toxic friend and a good friend

Good friends can be like members of your family. When you find friends like that, hold on tight. Unfortunately, not all are. Some are toxic — not good for you and, honestly, probably not great for the other person either. Toxic relationships can take a serious toll on you: your physical health, your emotional health, your feelings of self-worth, and even your other relationships. Knowing what a toxic relationship looks like — and how it's different than a real friendship — can help you determine if it's time to reevaluate a friendship or two, and save you a lot of heartache in the process.

How Gwyneth Paltrow Stays Slim Without Eating Less or Moving Her Body

I admire people who can motivate themselves to exercise every day. I always thought that one day, when I was all grown up, an urge to move my body for an hour three to four times a week would suddenly strike me. But I'm in my mid-20s and still waiting for that day to arrive. What can I say? I love sitting still.

Melania Trump Doesn't Wear Fur Anymore

A fur-free FLOTUS.

Melania Trump is opting out of fur.

Once known for being a woman about town in a variety of fur coats and hats, the first lady is now a changed woman. "She does not wear fur," Stephanie Grisham, director of communications for FLOTUS, told CNN's Kate Bennett. It's unclear, however, when exactly she stopped wearing fur.

The double life of Arnold Schwarzenegger

From the mid '80s to the early '90s, Arnold Schwarzenegger was easily one of the biggest action stars in the world after successfully turning a career as a bodybuilding champion into box office gold. The muscle-bound actor was a true Cinderella story who worked his way up from a poor, abusive childhood in Austria to become the most famous immigrant in America. But Schwarzenegger wasn't content with dominating Hollywood. In 2003, he wowed the nation by becoming the governor of California and locking down a second term. And right by Schwarzenegger's side was his devoted wife Maria Shriver and four children. The Terminator star seemingly had everything, but behind closed doors, he wasn't the picture-perfect family man. From allegedly harassing women for decades to a bombshell secret that destroyed his marriage, this is the double life of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Everything you need to know before buying almond milk.

These days you'd be hard-pressed to find a grocery store or coffee shop not offering almond milk. In fact, as I sit here writing this article, I'm sipping my Starbucks almond milk latte and wondering just how basic this makes me. And I'm not the only one jumping on the almond milk train. Sales of non-dairy milk have reached over $1.4 billion annually, with almond milk making up about two-thirds of those sales.

What happens to your body when you eat hot sauce

Spicy foods are one of those things you either love or hate. There's often no in-between (but, I suppose, there could be). While there are many ingredients out there that can up the level of heat in your dish, one of the easiest ways is by adding a good shake of hot sauce, either while you're cooking or to finish off the dish before you dig in to your meal.

Get Rid Of Love Handles With This 10-Minute Workout

When it comes to stubborn body parts, we can all agree that love handles take the cake. It seems that no matter how much healthy food we eat or how much we exercise, those love handles just won’t seem to go away.

Things every woman should avoid when washing her hair

Washing our hair is something most of us do several times a week and probably don't think much of, but it turns out you could be doing it the wrong way entirely. If you have been suffering from consecutive bad hair days, shampooing the wrong way could easily be the culprit — but don't fret.

Things you didn't know about Rachael Ray

Nobody saw Rachael Ray's world domination coming. The short, bubbly ball of energy has an empire of magazines, TV shows, and websites that perhaps only the mighty Oprah eclipses. Given Ray's humble beginnings and seemingly grounded disposition, it's easy to see why she's become popular. But just when you think you know everything about her…

Exclusive: 8 Victoria's Secret Models Share Their Favourite Healthy Breakfasts

What do all Victoria's Secret models have in common? Other than genetically blessed features and legs that go for miles, they also happen to be a fount of fitness and health knowledge (keeping their bodies in tip-top shape is their job, after all). With that in mind, we went backstage the day of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (and, in Stella Maxwell's case, the launch of the brand's new Wicked fragrance) and asked a handful of VS's most in-demand runway stars what they eat first thing in the morning. We were met with a multitude of answers ranging from the expected (eggs, obviously) to the more surprising. Spoiler: There's one breakfast, in particular, that seems to be a near-universal favourite.

Model: Stella Maxwell

Favourite healthy breakfast: "Oatmeal with fresh berries and a freshly made green juice."

4 Sugar Detox Recipes to Help You Recover From Your Cookie Coma

There are certain phenomena that happen so predictably they have become ordained laws of nature. For example, we know gravity will always bring things back down to earth, and the sun will rise each and every morning. Similarly, eating large amounts of sugar will make us crave even more sugar—or that's what it seems like at least.

Signs You're Not Getting Enough Protein

As a health-conscious person, you've probably seen it all when it comes to dietary recommendations. Fat is bad. No, wait, it's actually sugar that makes you fat. Bring on the omega 3's!

Protein has become pretty trendy, too. With so many low carb diets out there, protein is filling the gap. "We aren't known as a country that's low in protein," Dawn Jackson Blatner, R.D., author of The Flexitarian Diet, told Women's Health. "These days, most of the hot fad diets are very pro-protein."
