My husband and I decided that is was time to get rid of the hodgepodge of various plates and bowls that were chipped, held together by super glue, or just the last one of the bunch left. We found a set we liked and brought it home. When I opened the box I was shocked by the size of the bowl. I pulled out our old bowl, put them side by side and saw this…

Welcome TruPrevention’s Registered Dietitian!
Hi Everyone!
I am extremely excited to introduce you to the newest addition to TruPrevention…Mandy Tyler. She will be a resident blogger on this site. Mandy is a registered dietitian and licensed athletic trainer with a pretty amazing background (she is also my neighbor…how cool is that!). She is pretty modest too. When she is talking about “teams” in the San Antonio area…she worked with the pro basketball team the Spurs. She’ll work with me to give food for thought (yes, pun intended) and answer questions about health and nutrition…just ask! So with no further ado, here is Mandy!
The “Democratic” Grocery Store
How many of you are truly aware of what you buy when you make a trip to the grocery store? Do you have certain brands you consistently buy? Or do you just throw whatever looks good at that moment in effort to get out of there in record time?Â
Healthy restaurants…do they really exist?
As you probably guess, I’m not a fast food connoisseur. I think the extent of it is a pizza place…there’s nothing better than a thin crusted slice of veggie pizza. So when we go out to eat after a long week at work, we try to go somewhere that has health options. One of our favorite places in San Antonio to go is a near by Greek restaurant , Papapouli’s. They have won numerous awards for their healthy recipes. Now, I will tell you that I always wondered how healthy is healthy. Just because it is fresh made doesn’t mean it is not laden with fat and sodium. I mean, seriously, McDonalds has yogurt parfaits as a “healthy option” and one bite will tell you that there is enough sugar in one to make 5 kids hyperactive.
