HEALTH & FITNESS | EAT RIGHT

3 tricks for buying yummy eats at the farmers' market!


 
Beth Bader, co-author of The Cleaner Plate Club, a cookbook and nutritional guide she wrote with Ali Benjamin, gave us the scoop on scoping out fresh produce and turning it into a scrumptious, summery dinner.
 
Be adventurous. Make a point to snap up something new every time you hit the market (dandelion greens, anyone?). “Exploring new ingredients is exciting—not intimidating,” says Beth. Most farmers are happy to let you sample whatever they’re selling, so ask for a taste.

Go with a seasonal recipe in hand. Not sure what to do with some of the wacky ingredients? Tote along a recipe to help keep ya focused. Flip to the “summer” section in a cookbook (check the library for some picks) and pick a dish that sounds delish. Knowing that your veggies are local will make your meal even tastier.

Spy healthier versions of your fave foods.
Want something indulgent? Look for unique treats like almond brioche or pad Thai. The ingredients will be fresher than those at the grocery store.

nerdyprincessxo- hey im sorry that your struggling, I know how hard it is, but really just listen to your parents,, they know what they are talking about. I dealt with the same thing, but I never gained weight, so I kept eating bad. Im now 15 and now gain weight everytime I eat bad and have diabetes.. type 1, Im a decent weight but I'm not comfortable with my body like I was before and I have to deal with diabetes every day of my life now. Please, I know you can do it.You can get over this.(: Lauren C.

I really need help. I am obsessing over my body. I know everyone is built different and I don't need to worry so much, but I look terrible. I have been trying to lose my belly fat this summer but I just can't seem to do it. I thought I was doing well and making some progress but I just tried on my jeans from last year and I look bigger than I started at. I got low rise jeans last year and my shorts are higher so they don't look as bad. I am afraid my mom will just say "since last year's jeans still fit you can just wear those." I try to work out but It hasn't been "working out", I just forget about the workouts and everything. I joined cross country to try and get me healthier and thinner but it is too hot unless I run in the morning (to train) but its so hard for me to wake up. I am not too big but I'm not comfortable in my body. I try and eat right but it is hard to cut off junk food and I am always hungry. What should I do!?!? Sorry so long and thanks in advance.




Once you get back to school and start doing cross country youll get into a schedule and it will be easier. Getting into a schedule in summer is hard. Just try to do some sort of activity every day to prepare for cross country in thefall Smile youll be fine! xoxo kerra

MOD!
No one is answering my question. I am on my friend's account because I cannot remember my password and have tried getting a new password sent twice in the past 2 months. I have also tied contacting GL, but they have never answered. I am pretty sure that I updated my email on my account, but a new password still has not come. Help!




Hey girl,

It may just be taking us a little time to respond, but you could always try making a new account/profile if you can't get a new password. x0x0

MOD MOD MOD So my family is leaving for a cruise in 3 days. I have 2 questions... 1. they have amazing food on the ship, but usually i end up eating a lot of it because it's sooo good! what should i do to make myself not? i mean i'm very good about eating enough fruits and veggies and everything im supposed to have throughout the day, but i just have too much dessert... 2. i have to share a room with my bro and i KNOW he will be mean to me for no reason like he always does... my parents room is like on the same floor but a few halls down... so ya

 

 

Hey girl. As far as food goes, try to go for fruits and veggies you like and give yourself a limit to how many desserts you have a day. All that not so good for you food could make you feel sluggish on your vacay! When it comes to your brother, you shouldn't be in the room all the time so when you are try to be nice to him and if it gets really bad talk to your parents.

MOD MOD MOD so we're leaving for a cruise in 4 days (well actually we have to leave to go on the plane in 3 days.) and i keep looking at videos and reviews and stuff of the ship, cuz u know im excited! but my mom keeps telling me to stop, and it should all be a surprise. but maybe she likes surprises but i like to know before hand!!! what should i tell her?

 

Hey babe. Don't tell her anything--that way she can still be suprised!

MOD MOD: I have a problem. I'm always finding myself eating tons of junk foods when my parents aren't in the house. And my mom and dad get upset when they see how much I eat and they tell my I'm gonna die early (20s) because I can get a heart disease or diabetes because ppl in my fam have died of that before. They want me to see a psychiatrist because they believe I have a mental problem along the lines of food. I'm embarrest to talk to him/ her. How do I get rid of the embarrestment? I think I have an "excessive eating disorder". What do I tell him/ her? When my parents yell at me for my disorder, I tell them I have a problem but it doesn't help. How do I make them stop yelling at me? I already weight 202.5 lbs and im 12. Frown

 

 

Hey babe. I've always struggled with weight and let me tell you, diabetes is really scary. I recently lost 30 pounds because I was pre-diabetic at 220. I'm still working on it. Seeing someone really could help. Swallow your pride and remember that nothing leaves that office unless you are hurting yourself. Also, ask your rents about seeing a nutritionist or a medical doc. There might be more going on outside of your head. I'm sorry that your parents yell at you. Please know that you aren't alone. <3

I CANT bikr ride! I really really want to learn but my dad tried to teach my by going down a hill without my training wheels but i lose m ybalance & fall off & i dont want that to happen if that's gonna happen when i really ride it. I had a really bad bike riding accident & im still fearing from that. @ my camp we go bike riding all day every thursday & i dont wanna make a fool of myself with training wheels on. How can i learn to ride a bike (have 0.000000 balance) & overcome my falling fear?




Hey girl, the thong about riding a bike is it's very easy to pick up where you left off; you just have to get back in it again. Ask your dad to ride with you or help teach you the second time. Make a plan to become more confident/work on it before camp starts. You've got time -- use it and don't be afraid to confront your fears.

Tomorrow, I'm going to be home alone a lot of the day (well my mom's employee will be here but she just stays in our in-home office) because my mom, aunt, brother, and boy cousin are going somewhere. i'm allowed to go but i just don't want to cuz my brother and cuzin will gang up on me, and my mom and aunt will be talking... not my idea of a fun day. i'm not allowed to bake or go outside (unless it's in our backyard) so what should i do all day? (from like 9 to 4)




Try watching a movie or reading a book Smile

In a few days, my family is leaving to go on a cruise. i personally like just walking around by myself sometimes, just to explore, but I don't think my parents will let me! They will let me if I go with my 17 year old brother, but he'll say no, I know he will. I am very responsible and we've been on cruises before and I never got lost when I walked around with my cousin (she didn't know where we were going, I was able to figure it out.) So what should I say to them? Obviously I can't tell them I'm call them when I get to certain places, cuz cell service duznt work...
Also, im sharing a room with my bro and I know he will be always hogging the TV and being annoyiung and stuff... I know we will barely be spending ANY time in our room, but still... i don't want him to bug me like he always duz!! thank you soooo much for ur help Smile




Talk to your parents about going out on your own (or with your cousin) and figure out--together--the best way to communicate while you are away

I want to go on a bike ride now, and I have to tell my mom if I'm going out. But if I tell her, she'll want to come with me. And I really don't want her to come. What should I do?




Talk to her about the possibility of riding alone and seeing if you guys can work something out

My cousins are coming to visit in a few weeks and I need to know some super cheap ways to decorate a bit in my house,throw pillows,stuff like that. Also,how can I help my mom clean the house as much as I can?




Hey girl,

Check out our "Redo Your Room" section on the site. There are a bunch of great ways to decorate inexpensively. Also, to help your mom, start vacuuming, dusting, and wiping down your tables and countertops until everything's sparkling! x0x0

what is the difference b/w antipersperant and deodorant?




Hey girl,

Deodorant is used to mask the smell from sweat and hide the signs that you're sweating. Anti-perspirant, on the other hand, stops your body from sweating and prevents the sweat from leaving your body. x0x0

I'm 14 and I haven't started wearing deodorant yet but I'm going to get some. How should I choose what kind to get? There are so many choices




Hey girl,

There are a lot of choices, but if you figure out what you want before you start looking, it'll really help. Do you want scented or unscented? Or maybe clinical strength? When you narrow down those options, it'll be easier to choose. Also, it's kind of a trial-and-error thing, so it may take a couple times for you to find a deodorant that you love and will want to stick with.
