There’s no reason you can’t enjoy some pumpkin-spice-flavored goodness on a low-carb diet. While you might have to pass on a PSL, pumpkin itself is moderately low-carb — and when it comes to baked goods like pumpkin breads and muffins, low-carb sweeteners and flours are all you need to indulge in that yummy flavor without

For months I had been battling horrible anxiety, and I couldn’t figure out why. I was a stay-at-home mom, and while parenting is quite possibly the most stressful job on the planet, I couldn’t quite pinpoint why I felt the way I did. Our family wasn’t struggling financially. We had moved to a city we

One of my favorite ways to challenge myself in fitness is to try an exercise that makes me think, “How am I supposed to do that?” It’s so satisfying to find a move that’s out of your comfort zone, put in the time and effort to do it right, and finally crush it. For an

Carbs aren’t the only cause of belly fat, but if you eat a lot of them, they can certainly play a role. “If you eat any type of macronutrient in excess, you will gain weight,” Robert Milanes, MD, founder of Luminary MD in Irvine, CA, told POPSUGAR. Still, the way carbs are digested makes them

Lady Gaga knows how to entertain a crowd with catchy songs and intense choreography that I’m sure has her heart rate at peak levels. If you’re going that hard on stage, you’re bound to be sore after, right? She shared a few behind- the-scenes images of how she recovers after her shows, and her recovery

When you’re on a low-carb diet, you need a wealth of quick, healthy recipes to help keep you on track — but when it comes to breakfast, sometimes easy recipes aren’t enough. Instead, you need breakfasts that are simple and delicious, but can also be prepared ahead of time, so you don’t have to worry

When it comes to working out, we know that half the battle is actually getting there, which is why we need cute workout clothes; the fun outfits motivate us to get our butts moving. Workout clothes have come a long way from the old baggy t-shirts of years past; now, our gym outfits are just

When it comes to floor routines, you’re more likely to see ones set to popular songs on the collegiate level (think Katelyn Ohashi) rather than on the elite level (Simone Biles) — minus the lyrics, of course. Take, for instance, Maggie Nichols’s 2017 routine for Oklahoma featuring The Chainsmokers and Alicia Boren’s 2019 performance for

There’s really nothing in the world like running a race through the Disney parks and collecting one of those spectacular medals. Whether you’re an avid runner or simply a Disney fan looking for something new to experience in the parks, RunDisney race weekends are for everyone. (There’s even a variety of distances for every fitness

In case you haven’t seen enough of shirtless Chris Hemsworth in your lifetime (#thelimitdoesnotexist), today the famously ripped Marvel actor posted a brand-new workout to his Instagram. Weights get lifted and thrown around, there’s running and sweat and lots of panting involved, and all of it with nary a shirt in sight. But he’s not

I don’t think it’s necessary to always finish a workout with every muscle in your body shaking, but every now and then I like to ignite my ab muscles. I was experimenting with different movement combinations and I came up with this quick, five-move workout. By the second round, my abs were screaming at me.

Whether you need protection against pregnancy or you take birth control to help treat specific symptoms, getting your hands on a prescription on campus may be easier than you think. Many colleges require students to have health insurance, whether it’s a private health plan or health coverage offered by the university, and under the Affordable

Like some — alright, many — I’ve been determined to work out to lose weight. Intense training and rigorous diets have been fads in my lifetime, but in recent years, my motivation to hit the gym has shifted quite significantly. The sort of transformation I’m currently after is conditioning my body to feel good through

We’re big proponents of getting the absolute most out of every workout. If there’s an extra bit of burn or a muscle that can be working a little harder, we want to find it and bring it in on the fun. We already know that walking is a good beginner cardio workout that can be

As a 22-year-old fully immersed in adulthood for the first time, the last postgrad stress I was anticipating was dealing with my parents’ unexpected split. I immediately stepped in as the family mediator in an attempt to mend damaged relationships. On top of paying rent and student loans, working a corporate job, and navigating a

Research suggests that up to 85 percent of women who are sexually active will be exposed to human papillomavirus (HPV) in their lifetime, but like other sexually transmitted infections, it still carries a bit of a stigma. As an ob-gyn, the first question I’m usually asked by patients is, “How did I get it?” To

Planks will forever be one of my go-to ab exercises because they can be modified for any fitness level, they can be done absolutely anywhere, and I feel them working instantly. Another reason I like the plank is because there are so many variations to do, which in my mind equates to so many new

I’ve always been a night owl. I stay up too late, and then I’m still so wired when I climb into bed that I struggle to fall asleep. As much as I know I should make bigger changes to my evening routine, that’s easier said than done — so, when some CBD and lavender products

Get ready for lattes! Trader Joe must’ve heard our pleas and prayers because the grocery store is now selling its own version of oat milk. According to Instagram user @bethanybuysthings, you can find both a refrigerated and a shelf-stable dairy-free Oat Beverage on shelves now. My morning smoothie is so ready! Now, it’s time to

Eating breakfast can give you the energy you need to power through your morning, but if you’re one of the many people who don’t have time to cook breakfast every morning, these make-ahead recipes can help. Even if you don’t typically meal prep, whipping up a breakfast recipe (or two) on a Sunday afternoon can

Katrina went from never working out to running, and over time, she had lost nearly 60 pounds. She explained that it was difficult to maintain her weight loss and she eventually gained all the weight back. After getting married, Katrina said, she wasn’t as active, and she knew it was time to get back on

Apples are a healthy staple in many households, but if you’ve heard rumors that they may be off-limits on a low-carb diet, it’s time we set the record straight. “A medium apple contains 25 grams of carbs and has a glycemic index of 36,” Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, owner of Amy Gorin Nutrition in the

Halloween was always my absolute favorite holiday growing up (um, hello free candy, wearing wigs and makeup, and staying up late!). But when I was older and ditched dairy, I quickly realized that if I wanted to enjoy all the yummy treats, I was going to have to make them myself. If you’re vegan and

Who needs to work out FOR Halloween when you can work out ON Halloween?
