Today, I’m sharing an in-depth article about how I got back on track thanks to The Biggest Loser. Before, I had been cutting calories, but they weren’t always the right ones. For example, I learned that a Caesar salad is not a health food. It’s actually one of the highest-calorie salads you can eat!
The show has brought so much inspiration into my own eating habits, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.
How has The Biggest Loser changed your diet and exercise habits? Tell me in the comments below.
Watching BL inspired me to push my workouts further. And to not give up even when I got injured. Now I consider myself a "runner" (albeit a slow one) and I have completed my first 1/2 Marathon (yes, I walked a good bit of it but I finished) and am now working towards another three runs (5k, 10k and 1/2 Marathon).
Wow! Your article sure brought lots of comments, some not so favorable. I am a huge fan of yours, Days and the Biggest Loser. I need to loose 30 pounds and am on my way. I was a bit discouraged this past week so it was good timing to read your article. I do schedule gym time each day and am changing my eating habits. (I never did like a Ceasar salad.LOL) I do sincerely believe that your eating habits have to change and become your new lifestyle. For me that has been the hardest part. However, being healthy is more important to me. Thanks for caring enough to campaign for people (and pets) regarding their health and fitness. You are truly a wonderful person!
This week, I’m on location for The Biggest Loser and having a good time! I can’t wait for you to see all the fun we’re getting into. So, what did you guys think of what happened on Tuesday?
Dr. Steve Bae, medical director of YB Clinic Los Angeles Acupuncture, is proud to be sponsoring AlisonSweeney.com. He’s brought some wonderful health tips and remedies, as well as information about holistic healing.
TIP FROM DR. BAE: “Eat locally whenever you can. How long a food takes to get from the farm to the table is extremely important. Vital nutrients are lost during a veggie’s journey. More time on the road means less nutrients once it reaches your plate. Eating local, organic foods in conjunction with the holistic healing of acupuncture will increase your energy levels, lower your stress, and make you feel terrific overall.”
Organic foods work to keep your body healthy from the inside out, while acupuncture and cupping work from the outside in. They can help you lose weight and relieve stress, but are also especially helpful for problems associated with back pain, a condition that plagues so many of us on a daily basis. If you suffer from chronic back pain, you may have wondered if acupuncture and cupping for it is a genuine form of therapy. For people just like you, Beverly Hills back pain acupuncture and holistic healing provider YB Clinic aims to educate the public about the connection between acupuncture and pain management.
Following your series of treatments at their Beverly Hills back pain acupuncture clinic, your arthritic pain should be significantly reduced. Imagine going about your daily routine, without back pain keeping you from the things you love to do.

The YB Clinic also accepts many forms of insurance, so the cost to you could be minimal.

There are times when all of us get so busy that getting to the gym for a workout just isn’t an option. And the weather doesn’t always cooperate with plans for an outdoor workout!
That's why I try to have great workout DVDs on hand so I can get in a great workout no matter what. @MyTrainerBob’s workout DVDs are some of my favorites. His yoga DVD is a killer...in a really good way!
What’s your go to at-home workout? Do you have any favorite workout DVDs that I need to try?
As you may know I'm on the cover of the February issue of @PreventionMag. This is such an honor! I love everything that Prevention stands for (health, fitness, nutrition, weight loss), so I was thrilled when I found out they wanted to me to be their cover girl.

On Sunday night I went to NBCUniversal’s 69th Annual Golden Globes After Party and had so much fun. Of course seeing who wins the awards is exciting, but I must admit that one of the highlights of the evening for me is checking out the incredible fashion. In person the gowns are drop-dead gorgeous! Did you watch the Globes? Who was your pick for best dressed?
