Let's face it, new year resolutions are silly. In fact, only 14% of people over the age of 30 will actually be successful at achieving their goal. Often times we set ourselves up for failure by making unrealistic and unspecific weight or health goals that can't be sustained beyond spring. Make 2016 your healthiest year yet by focusing on these three steps: 1. Tackle one problem at a time. Ask yourself, "what is one thing I need and CAN change about my diet right now?". Be as

Do: Be mindful Do: Focus on Friends, Family and NOT the FOOD Do: Track your intake Do: Move more Don't: Beat yourself up! Every meal is a fresh start and every day is new beginning to a healthier you. #carolineeisenbergrd #dietitiansouthjersey #DietitianBerlinNJ #holidaydiet #mindfuleating #holidaysurvivial #holidayweightloss #healthymom #naturalweightloss #weightloss #weightlosstips #nutritionistberlinnj #BerlinNJ

If you have ever set foot into my office, you know the rule. Move your body in a way that feels good everyday. To make it attainable for every lifestyle and schedule, I have compiled a list of routines that you can bust out during your lunch break, nap time, hotel room, beach or on a rainy day. No excuses! And remember, just 10 minute intervals are effective. Do what you can, when you can. Beginner Exercise: Repeat 3 times High knees: 50, stand straight with feet hip width ap

Now that I am a full grown adult (boring) paying for my own food (boring), with my hard-ish earned cash, I make it a priority not to waste a crumb... and the holidays are no exception. We stuck to the traditional christian/jewish family tradition of dying brown, cage-free eggs (with all natural rice vinegar of course...what do you expect to find in a dietitian’s kitchen?) and now we have tons of eggs (and green finger nails) to use up for the week. The thought of a seven day

Lies may sound a little harsh.....more like fibs. Sitll bad, huh? First, I would like to clarify that Registered Dietitians/Nutritionists are the leading experts in all things food and nutrition, and work very hard, long after graduation to stay up to date on current studies and trends. I just think we need to rethink some of the stale tips and "isms" that we share with our clients and patients on a daily basis. It can be hard to sum up the way someone should eat vs how they

The creative folks at Starbucks have finally wised up. Finally, a new drink without the standard four pumps of yellow syrup flavoring or mound of whipped cream. The coffee giant now offers the Flat White. A drink with "expertly steamed milk poured over ristretto shots of espresso and finished with a Starbucks signature dot". Since ristretto espresso is naturally sweeter than its standard espresso counterpart, there is really no need for added sugar. Imagine that! This calcium

It's here! New year resolution time! This is like the super bowl for us type-A, perfectionist Dietitian type. I seriously have my game face on, and have done the leg work for you on which diet trends are worth trying....and which ones will be nothing more than entertaining to hear about from your hangry girlfriends over a nice, lame cup of hot lemon water. 1) Cauliflower: Try It! I have read on numerous sites that cauliflower is the "Food of 2015". Good news, not only becaus

The "fat season" is here! If you are going to gain weight (which you won't because you are reading my blog), chances are it will happen between Halloween and super bowl Sunday. Now that is scary! Your best bet in battling the holiday bulge is to MINDFULLY indulge. So plan ahead, keep tracking and relax. Remember, the holidays are about spending quality time together developing memories......not hangovers or indigestion. Check out the list below to keep your candy indulgences

If you are waiting until January to shed some weight, think again! Fall may be the best time to commit to some healthy changes. Read on to see how the fall foliage can inspire you. 1. Back to school and back on schedule. I love the saying " when you have more to do, you have more time to do it in". It is so easy live a sedentary lifestyle (one of the main causes of unwanted weight gain) during the dog days of summer. It may work out in your favor that exercise and healthy me
