Ask JJ: Easy Gluten-Free Swaps
Dear JJ: I took your three-week challenge and eliminated gluten. Initially I was skeptical, but after a few days I started feeling much better. I know you stay pretty much gluten-free, and I think I would benefit too, but it's so hard to give up my favorite foods. Do you have suggestions about swapping them out? Numbers vary, but studies show about 30 percent of Americans have a gluten sensitivity. I find that estimate a little low. About 90 percent of the people I pull off gluten feel enormously better without it, and I'm convinced the other 10 percent didn't really get it all out. Studies show 30 percent of American a...

Don't Choose A Low-Carb Diet Just Because You Think It's 'Healthy'
Carbohydrates don’t have a very good reputation these days. Fans of popular low-carb diets like Atkins, Paleo, South Beach Diet and Whole30 are convinced that cutting them out of your diet is the key to dropping pounds and keeping the weight off for good. About 29 percent of Americans said they were “actively” avoiding carbs in a 2014 Gallup poll, and recent scientific studies that compare low-carb diets to low-fat diets show that -- at least in the short periods they’re part of the study -- participants have more success losing weight and improving their health if they restrict carbs, not fat. ...

2 Killer Broccoli Recipes For People Who Don't Like Vegetables
Vegetables: For the most part, I really just don't like them. But I've decided to try and change that, one simple, (hopefully) tasty recipe at a time. Follow along with my series of experiments -- in which I'll take on kale, cauliflower, spinach and more -- over the coming weeks! For my first foray into More Intentional Vegetable Cooking this year, I chose to focus on broccoli. Why? That's a question I definitely asked myself repeatedly over the past few weeks, as I procrastinated and put off making recipes with this, one of my least favorite ingredients. When I made a resolution to cook more vegetables, I p...

21-Day Challenge
My husband, daughter, and I are embarking on a 21-Day Challenge to eat cleanly. My daughter has tried it before -- for my husband and me, this is all new, but we consented to give it a try, all in the name of family harmony. Given my recent podcast with Michael Farrington on nutrition for junior tennis players, I thought I would expand on that theme and share some recipes and menu ideas that you can adapt to suit your family's needs. At the beginning of January, Emma returned to Atlanta for a 3-month stint, testing the local acting waters. She has been living in the Los Angeles area since leaving for college back in 200...

Dear JJ: I've followed a low-sugar impact diet now for 10 days, yet I've only lost two pounds. What might you suspect would be the underlying problem? Oh, I get it: When you put in a certain effort, you expect results.

Do potatoes reduce stomach cancer risk?
Conclusion This systematic review has gathered and summarised the results of prospective cohort studies published to date that have examined links between specific dietary items and the risk of stomach cancer. The review has many strengths, including the large number of studies that have been reviewed and quality assessed, the large sample size, and extensive analyses carried out by individual food type.

10 Satisfying Low-Sodium Snacks
When you need to satisfy between-meal munchies, do you automatically reach for a salty snack? For many of us it’s the bags of pretzels and potato chips that call our name from the vending machine midafternoon. But the snack favorites tend to be high in sodium, a mineral that we should be limiting in our diets. According to the National Dietary Guidelines for Americans, everyone should aim to consume less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of salt daily for better health. The American Heart Association recommends an even lower number — less than 1500 mg — to keep your blood pressure within a healthy range. For mos...
