Somewhere along the way, carbohydrates (think bread, pasta, potatoes, and rice) became the villains of the nutrition world. We don't see them that way at Simple, however. The truth is that our bodies need carbohydrates — it's the best energy source we've got. Where we can get into difficulties is when we eat too many carbohydrates and simple sugars (like honey and sweets); don't eat enough protein (such as chicken, fish, or tofu), healthy fats (like avocado or olive oil), or fruits and vegetables; and don't move our bodies enough during our daily lives.

Intermittent fasting has gained significant popularity as a dietary approach that goes beyond weight loss to other health benefits — such as more energy, lowering disease risk (such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure), and even improving overall nutrition when people eat during their eating windows.

If you're like most people, chances are you rush through your day, ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. Plus, you might find yourself distracted by all the peeps and pings of your electronic devices.

Your skin copes with a lot. If you live in a hot, sunny climate, it can receive almost constant sun damage. If you live where it's cool and dry, you may have to work harder to keep it hydrated. Big cities cover it in smog and dirt. It's not just where you live: so many things can affect your skin's health.

Menopause can be both an empowering and challenging time. While new opportunities and life paths open up at midlife, hormonal changes can also bring a range of uncomfortable symptoms. Thanks to these hormonal changes, women's health risks go up sharply after menopause.

Back in the day, you could eat whatever you wanted, not think about it, and not worry about weight gain or any health effects, or at least that's how it seemed. But today, it's a different story. You're a little older, perhaps less active than you'd like, and now, eating whatever you want means your jeans aren't as comfortable anymore.

If you've just given birth, you don't need us to remind you that you and your body have been through a journey together recently. As beautiful as that journey is, we get that you may be ready to get your body back to where it was in the first place. Maybe that means regular exercise. Maybe it means resuming a certain eating routine. Maybe it simply means being able to wear your favorite pair of jeans again.

When your thyroid doesn't work like it's supposed to, losing weight can be even tougher to achieve than usual. Perhaps you heard about intermittent fasting and are wondering if, given your hypothyroidism, fasting could be an option for finally changing that number on the scale. So, are intermittent fasting and hypothyroidism a good fit?

Sometimes weight loss success seems to be as unique as a snowflake or a fingerprint. What your cousin's best friend did or what that social media influencer swears by hasn't worked for you so far.
