There are a lot of contradictions in the fitness and health industries. Some people say eat less meat, some say eat more. Some people say fat is bad, some say it's good.

Today we are going to make ice cream healthy! Wait, is that even possible?

And it won't cancel out all the hard work you did at the gym.

Summer's here and you know what that means... like a caterpillar emerging from its cozy cocoon, it's time to shed the hoodies and parkas and replace them with tank tops and swimsuits! Don't be one out of three Americans who are shy about their bods this year, so spread your beautiful wings and make it a fit summer!
