It goes without saying that anything being touted as an “overnight diet” is complete and total bunk. But I’m gonna say it anyway because people stil fall for the allure of quick, fast, and easy crash diets. More
Joan Collins says she’s spent her entire life on a diet. I hate to sound like I’m judging other women and their choices, but DAMN does being on a diet for decades sound shitty. More
Jennifer Hudson gave a candid interview to The Huffington Post where she gets “real” (whatever “real” for a celebrity is, sorry girl!) about her dramatic weight-loss and the pressure to be thin.

So, last week, I wrote about purveyor-of-goop Gwyneth Paltrow’s new low-carb, low-sugar cookbook (and how when her family eats that type of cooking, they feel hungry, which seems like a weird thing to admit in a cookbook). I’m not a huge fan of Gwynnie, so I ripped on her pretty hard. Today, I read a new interview from SELF that gives a bit more insight into how she approaches her diet. And I have to say, I feel a little bad about picking her apart so harshly.
One of the most recurring obligations as a twenty-something adult is participating in the weddings of your friends. Over the years, I’ve used these weddings as a motivator to get my butt in gear and get my body in picture-ready shape. Sometimes I’ve been successful and felt great—other times, not so much. But this November …

Beyonce has been eating “one vegan meal a day” as part of post-baby fitness plan, according to her trainer Marco Borges in Life & Style magazine. More
A Mediterranean diet may make you happy, but a Southern one might cause you to be anything but. More
People with food allergies can have a tough time eating out–and even eating in, thanks to confusing food labels and a shortage of allergen-free options. But thanks to a landmark settlement reached last month over the cafeteria food at a Massachusetts college, the food allergy-stricken have a lot more leverage in getting gluten-free, peanut-free, dairy-free options on the menu: federal disabilities law. The good news is that it could force restaurants and food companies to take peoples’ dietary restrictions a little more seriously. The bad news is that it could mean that companies–both big and small–start getting sued when they’re unable to accommodate everyone’s food allergy disability. More
You know what Bobby Flay thinks about cooking healthy meals? He thinks it’s stupid, that’s what. But pumping iron, running, getting sweaty at SoulCycle with his lady…THAT’s how a real man gets healthy. More

One of my New Year’s resolutions (actually, the only resolution I’ve made so far) is to give up meat, dairy and eggs again in 2013. Like the times I’ve gone vegetarian or vegan in the past, my concern has little to do with animal welfare and everything to do with personal health. And this time I’m more convinced than ever that, for personal health, a meat-free and dairy-free diet is best. More
‘Tis the season for weight loss ads, and the first to get big media attention in 2013 is Weight Watchers’ Jennifer Hudson and Jessica Simpson commercial. After a stormy 2012 in which the company was criticized for hiring a pregnant Jessica Simpson to lose weight and rep the diet plan, they seem to be catching on that women aren’t keen on getting fat-shamed into shelling out for a diet program. The two stars–both of whom who have gotten considerable media attention for their weight and weight loss, talk about their history of being overweight and obsessed with their weight, emphasizing that their Weight Watchers journey has been a happy one. Is this a great trend in body positivity for 2013? Or just another marketing tactic aimed at selling women diets? More
I’m almost 30 years old and in those almost 30 years, I cannot recall a single resolution that I (or anyone else for that matter) 100% completed by the end of the year. I’ve always had a pretty extreme personality, so in the world of commitments and resolutions, that means I’m either all in or not interested at all. Over the years, as New Year’s resolutions go, this has included (but isn’t limited to): losing weight, learning to knit, scrapbooking my college years, losing weight, learning photography, committing to a daily skin routine, losing weight FOR REAL this time, paying down my debt, DEFINITELY losing weight this year, and so on and so on.

For cancer-free living, meat and dairy-free dining are the way to go, it seems. A new study funded by the National Cancer Institute found vegans have even lower cancer rates than vegetarian counterparts, who in turn see less cancer than omnivores. More
The holidays come with tons of fun and tons of stress–and that’s before you even think about how to fit in your workouts and make decent dietary choices at every holiday party between now and New Year’s. Once you do start thinking about maintaining healthy habits despite daily (but cheerful!) conspiracies against it, the holidays can be downright hellish. And all too often, the places you go for help when you’re trying to achieve health during the holidays just make it worse, with articles instructing you to burn every calorie that passes your lips and headlines encouraging you to drop weight by Christmas. Our goal at Blisstree is to help you figure out how to have healthy holidays that don’t suck–by giving you healthy eating tips, healthy gift guides, and helpful recipes to pull off your spread of vegan hors d’oeuvres…without getting you down about your body or obsessed with how much you weigh.
