The Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning Hulu original, The Handmaid’s Tale, struck all the right chords with its latest season, hitting almost too close to home at times. And while the riveting season two finale that recently aired has earned praise, the show’s marketing efforts was hit with swift backlash after attempting to release a

It’s a common scenario: you wrap a long day at the office, squeeze in a gym session, and by the time you’re home, exhaustion has trumped your desire to cook a healthy dinner. But what if a restaurant-quality meal took a mere five minutes of prep, less than ten minutes to cook, and all you

Because it’s not enough to cut out virtually every last carb from your diet and load up on fats, people (cough, Kourtney Kardashian, cough) are now sipping on apple cider vinegar in an attempt to boost their fat-burning potential even more. Kourt famously tried out the keto diet last year and says she drank apple

In some ways, Costco is like an exclusive members-only club for the most devout food samplers across America.

Okay, okay I get it. Jamie Lee Curtis was right—probiotics (you know, those live bacteria in foods like yogurt and sauerkraut that can boost your gut health) are good for me. But those Activia commercials were missing one key fact about probiotics: Their ability to boost your good gut bacteria is only temporary. Basically, they

Thinking about going vegan? While cutting out animal products altogether can be pretty tough, there are some established health benefits, says doctor Maggie Michalczyk. “Being vegan eliminates a big source of saturated fat from the diet and (hopefully) adds more fibrous vegetables to the diet in its place. So there is a lower risk for things like high cholesterol and

Prince Charles clearly lives by The Bachelor franchise rules: no eating on camera. And he did just that on his recent MasterChef guest appearance. MasterChef and royal family fans were on the edge of their respective seats waiting with bated breath for Prince Charles’ appearance on the Australian version of the show. But when it

I started competing in pageants at age 4, and eventually became the number-one pageant trainer in the country. My industry comes with extreme pressure to be thin, so, for a long time, I worked hard to keep up appearances. That all changed when I got married in 2014. It was wonderful—I felt like I was

Snacking, in its essence, is supposed to fill you up. Unfortunately that’s not always the case—that full stack of Pringles that you demolished may leave you wanting more. Some foods are naturally superior when it comes to helping you eat less because of the specific nutrients they contain, the form you eat them in, or

Eat a grape, lose weight. It would be awesome if weight loss were that simple. But, alas, no one food can magically deliver all of your weight-loss goals on a silver platter. (Shucks.)

A new Australian study has found that following just four healthy guidelines can help prevent weight gain. And they’re easier than you might think. For your best chance of staying in the same pair of jeans, researchers advise: eating breakfast daily, not eating take-away more than once weekly, watching less than two hours of TV

Who has two thumbs and shouldn’t eat creamy ice cream, but does anyway? This chick. And I know I’m not alone: An estimated 30 million to 50 million American adults are lactose intolerant, according to the National Institutes of Health.  To add to that NIH stat, many Americans have been warming up to the idea

An increasingly faster pace of life is what defines the modern human of today. Our need for convenience means we’re often eating on the go, at our desks or in front of bright screens. We are jumping on public transport or driving everywhere because we want to get to places quicker. Constant exposure and promotion

When you eat at a chain restaurant, do you ever wonder which dishes on their menu are the most popular? After all, the options probably look exactly the same at all of the chain’s locations across the country. And if a specific dish is the most popular order nationwide, the restaurant must be doing something right

Let’s be honest, we’re all guilty of overeating from time to time. Whether you’re going back for thirds ‘cause mum’s whipped out the big guns with her famous lasagne or your eyes were a little (okay, a lot) too big for your bod when piling on the fro-yo toppings. But sometimes we turn to overeating

Let’s get something out of the way first: There’s nothing you can do to spot-reduce fat on your thighs—or anywhere on your body, TBH. That’s because losing fat is kind of an all or nothing approach. “You can reduce your overall body fat by eating healthy and exercising, but your body doesn’t know where it’s

Finally, a study proves that potato chips can help you get lean: cheat days may help you stick to your healthy eating plan in the long term, research published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology suggests.
