I LOVE Diet Coke. If I thought it would go well with oatmeal, I might actually drink it with breakfast. I know I am a dietitian, and I should know better than to have such a vice, but if it’s my treat of the day, I’ll take it. The problem is, sometimes (well, a lot) …

If you’re anything like me, then you do not understand people that say “I love running” or “I feel so great when I run.”  For those people who are not into running, it can be very difficult to begin the endeavor and, for those who already run from time to time, it can be difficult …
