October rolls around, and women start to lose steam. Halloween candy, Thanksgiving feasts, and Christmas parties suddenly feel like roadblocks. But here’s the truth: this is the most important time to stay consistent.   The Real Holiday Weight Gain Trap Most women gain 7–10 pounds between Halloween and New Year’s.

Lentil lovers, these lentil burgers are for you! These hearty meatless burgers are made with familiar and wholesome ingredients, unlike many store-bought options these days. My Favorite Veggie Burgers are still my go-to, but these lentil burgers come in second. These burgers are flavored with grated carrot, fresh cilantro or parsley, onion and garlic, and spices, including chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Two eggs are optional (omit them for vegan burgers), but they provide extra moisture and a lighter texture. The recipe comes together beautifully in the food processor. Like my veggie burgers, these lentil burgers turn out best…
