Hiya!
On Monday evening I attended a workshop focused around my favourite topic of all time: food.
(I have Italian origins and I can quite happily discuss food forever).
The workshop was hosted by a UofT Dietician on behalf of the Dieticians of Canada, to celebrate March as Nutrition Month. The title,100 Meal Journey, represents the average number of meals that one person will eat in a month. The workshop focused on goal setting and planning to create small changes in eating habits that make a big difference over 100 meals.
The idea is that the journey is broken up into weekly tasks, but it is not too late to join. You can make a pledge and dieticians will send you motivational tips on how to achieve your goal.
Movie releases (London Has Fallen comes out tomorrow (sequel to Olympus Has Fallen), I’m excited but also skeptical… then again, how bad can a Gerard Butler-starring film really be?)
Warmer weather (hopefully!)
AND
Nutrition Month!
Registered Dietitians of Canada celebrate Nutrition Month every March. This year, they’re encouraging Canadians to take a 100-meal journey over the course of March, focusing each week on a new goal such as making quality food decisions and being aware of portion sizes.

“50% less fat!” states the box of cookies on the shelf of my local supermarket. “High fiber” says the box next to it. While another box asserts “Made with goji berries!” Have you ever paid attention to the bold claims…
A couple of weeks ago, amidst my blurry week of examhaustion and essay-frenzy, I had hit the caffeine ceiling with my intake, and the results were far from pretty. After accepting the fact that it had become an issue, it…
Let’s be honest with ourselves: in the words of Sartre (well, not really), things just got REAL. I don’t know how it is for everyone else, but my to-do list is covered in highlighting and red pen and exclamation marks.…
Last week, in my St. Patrick's Day green, I celebrated food. Usually, my food parties involve ice cream, sour ju jubes, and pizza. Readers, I'll admit, I have the worst sweet tooth, especially during exams when my mouth is like a…
My idea: EAT YAM. Brilliant. On December 6th, I was one of 100 lucky attendees of Tedx Hart House: "The Future of Food." TED, (Technology, Entertainment, and Design), is a nonprofit organization devoted to "ideas worth spreading." The evening focused…
Our bodies are made to store fat. Don't look at me like that, they are. It's a mechanism that was built in waaay back in the day to help us survive when there was no food. It makes sense: food was…
