Angie’s Appetite for Life

About Angie, RD

i_00121
I am a Registered Dietitian and group exercise instructor who is brand new to the world of food blogging.  I first came across ‘Eat Like Me’ on Self.com and loved it, and then found ‘Kath Eats Real Food’ and became addicted to seeing what Kath eats! 

I became a dietitian 8 years ago and have spent those 8 years working in wellness and weight management. And, over that time, I’ve worked with so many patients and clients who believe they must starve themselves or follow some crazy diet to lose weight. I believe strongly in the philosophy of eating “real” food and honoring our hunger and fullness cues.

I love all kinds of foods and enjoy balancing coffee, chocolate, red wine, pizza, and ice cream, with lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. My hope with this blog is to continue to inspire myself and others to be passionate about food and to live a balanced, healthy life that can include pizza and wine and chocolate and exercise!

I got married to the love of my life last October and we are enjoying getting settled into married life. We both have demanding careers and busy lives,  so, like most everyone, it is often difficult to eat as healthy as we should and fit in regular exercise. We have been working more on cooking and eating at home and are constantly working on fitting exercise into our daily routines. I hope to share the ideas that work in my busy life, and also to learn from you. I’m far from perfect, but perfection is not my goal. My healthy life is definitely a work in progress. Thanks for reading.

    Hey Angie!

    Your so right when you say to “eat real foods” to lose the weight. Some people just dont understand and are missing out! Keep up the great work!

    Thanks for stopping by my site! I have to say that I LOVE your philosophy…you’re right that so many people feel the need to starve themselves or follow some crazy fad to lose weight, but I am finding that I love food too much to do that! I am slowly learning to find that balance. Can’t wait to read more!
