Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I realize some people have a love-hate (or a hate-hate!) relationship with Valentine's Day. Life is too short to feel antagonism over a day! Instead, realize that Valentine's Day is about celebrating love. The love you have for nature. The love you have for those you care about. Whether it's your darling cat, your best friend, or any other person or creature you're fond of, make this a day for celebration.

Valentine's Day is all about being healthy and happy. If you enjoy wine and drinks, I have a bunch of Low Carb cocktail recipes to get things started right -

If you're a fan of chocolate, there are OODLES of low carb chocolates which are full of antioxidants!

Remember the key with chocolate is the darker the better. If you're currently a fan of milk chocolate, it might be worth it to slowly get yourself used to the darker varieties, as they are healthier for you!


I love a delicious steak dinner, so for me the perfect Valentine's Day menu involves a tasty steak with crisp green beans and a rich bottle of wine.

Think about the things you adore that are healthy for you. Surely you've got a few on your menu by now! Treat yourself to a wonderful evening, and celebrate the wonder of love.
