Welcome!

Welcome to I'll Have What She's Having! I am a living, breathing 25 year old dietitian currently living in Houston, TX, for those who do not know me. I tend to know a lot about food and diet and I thought, why not share my health tips and suggestions to get other people on the path of improved health? Whether you're looking for weight loss/weight gain tips, cooking with new vegetables, or random interesting food/health facts, stay tuned!

Just so everyone knows where I stand- I'm not a vegan, nor am I a vegetarian, however, I do LOVE my fruits and veggies. Yogurt is by far my favorite food, yet close seconds are chocolate chip cookies and chicken wings. I don't believe in high carb, low carb, high protein, only-what-you-can-fit-on-a-fork etc., etc. I believe in a well-balanced diet, composed of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, and low-fat/lean dairy/meat. That's not to say you can't splurge every once in awhile, but controlling those splurges will be key to ideal weight maintenance. Calorie counting isn't always necessary, but can be helpful in identifying pit falls in diet.... Just an FYI :)

P.S. That's my faithful dog, Zeppelin, in the picture. He's also on a doggy diet because living with Grandma & Grandpa has done a number on his waistline. My dog, Georgia, is the only one that currently lives with me in Texas (She got to be in the cookbook pic of me) so as a huge doggie-lover, I will also throw in some canine weight/health tips here and there!
