Update: Who Am I, and What is This Blog?
Hello readers! Welcome to my blog. My name is Gina and I'm a Registered Dietitian from Columbus, Ohio. Last year I graduated from The Ohio State University with a master's degree in Human Nutrition, and I am currently the Dietitian and Wellness Coach for Giant Eagle Market District.
I recently moved into a new house with the love of my life, Nick. We are both working really hard to save for a wedding, updates for our house, a dog, and eventually a family. The picture below was taken our first day in our new home. We were so excited to be first-time home buyers!  Nick and I are BIG Ohio State fans. Here we are at the National Championship game in 2007. This was before we got our butts kicked by some nasty team down south.  I started this blog in March of 2009, and since then Nick and I have gotten used to taking pictures of just about anything that involves food, or anything even remotely interesting. Nick is even used to holding food up to me when he's driving. I have to be candid and capture even the fast food moments!  You know what they say, dating makes you gain weight. In my case it was a good thing. I had an eating disorder from my junior year in high school, through my junior year in college. It was never life threatening, however I restricted my fat intake enough for there to be lasting effects, both physical and emotional. Even though I was cured by the time I met Nick, over 4 years ago, he still helped me put on a much needed 10 pounds. It may not seem like a lot, but I was proud of myself, and still am. I know a lot about nutrition and I always try to practice what I preach, which means eating healthy about 90% of the time, and enjoying an indulgence at least once a day (for me it's homemade ice cream, Lindt's dark chocolate, and sometimes a really good beer!). Get used to seeing a lot of this on my blog:  We may be slightly addicted to ice cream (I actually make frozen yogurt), and I love to make crazy flavors with our ice cream maker! Life is a journey, and a fun one at that. I like to try to live like a child, and laugh as much as possible. I like to live by a child's philosophy of food as well. In other words, eat when you are hungry, and don't eat when you are not. In other words, be an intuitive eater. At the same time, listen to what your mother always told you and "Keep your choices varied, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, and choose sweets and alcohol in moderation!!" (my mom truly used to say stuff like that). This is who I learn from, just as much as he learns from me (I hope). He's Joe, my 13 year old brother. And the coolest kid in America.  Topics For My Blog Random Nutrition Tidbits and Video Blogs: This is where I share all the random knowledge I have stored in my brain! Topics range from pre and post workout snacks, to how to choose a good supplement or choosing the perfect yogurt.Nutrition and Health Updates: This is where I update you on the latest health and nutrition research and information. I'll keep you updated on the latest diet, food, and health trends and research.Gimics and Fads: There are so many lies, and so much nonsense being preached to the public. I will cue you in as to what to look out for and about which to be weary.New Eats/Products: I'm always finding new food and health products, that I either love or hate. I will share those with you and provide my honest opinion. Recipes: Something I really enjoy is cooking quick, simple, and healthy meals at night. I find that many people (especially busy parents) don't realize just how easy it can be to cook a quick and healthy meal for their family! I am working on compiling a list of dinner recipes to be put into a cookbook eventually. I will show you tons of meals that can be created with few ingredients, and little time. Oh, and they are healthy too! Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to getting to know you!  related searches : Update
