In 2009 the American College of Sports Medicine formed a panel of researchers to develop exercise guidelines for cancer patients and survivors.

At the time, doctors were telling their cancer patients to avoid exercise but the panel found that physical activity "is safe during and after cancer treatments and results in improvements in physical functioning, quality of life, and cancer-related fatigue in several cancer survivor groups."

Strength for Life, based in New York, is working to spread this news and make fitness programs accessible to cancer patients and survivors "regardless of location and financial limitations."

Does working out take your appetite away?

Recently, someone asked me what she could eat if she wasn’t very  hungry after a workout. She understood the importance of refueling after exercise but said that she doesn’t usually feel hungry enough for a full meal after working out.

A refuel snack should provide carbohydrates, to replace the stored muscle fuel you used, as well as protein to rebuild and repair muscle tissue.

Below are 9 small refuel snacks that have the right balance of carbs and protein..

Does this sound like you?: You usually remember to pick up a bottle of water on your way to the gym or you make sure to fill up your reusable bottle before you leave the house. You may or may not start sipping on it during your workout but you'll definitely chug it down afterwards. If so, you're on the right track but how often do you remember to hydrate before you start to exercise?

I recently attended a 2-day sports nutrition workshop (there's nothing I love more than anything that brings nutrition & fitness together), where we discussed issues common to both athletes and regular ol' active people, like:

I’m a big believer in the holistic approach to travel. Before you roll your eyes, let me explain.

When pleasure, entertainment, nature, fitness and culture combine to form a trip that leaves you feeling refreshed and inspired...it’s magic.

Yesterday I returned from a long weekend in southeast Michigan. My husband and I visited my cousin and her fiancé. With loose plans, we didn’t really know what to expect but I became super excited when they proposed water sports and ethnic food.

When I travel I like to eat like a local...

I've got some big news and today, good things are happening in threes!

Fancy new diggs: The Piece o' Cake blog has moved to a new website that you can find here. I needed a place to offer my nutrition services and post my Zumba® schedule and had been dragging my feet on building a new website for the longest time. It's finally here, so go check it out! Never fear, I'll still be blogging about nutrition, health, food & fitness. That includes the juicy stuff I know you love, like inexpensive or truly unique workouts, new recipes (including tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes) and my views on the latest diet trends. 

Zumba® summer event: Next month, I am offering two half-price, hour-long Zumba® classes down near Astor Place at 440 Studios (in Manhattan).
