Battle of the Pies!
MOTHER VS. DAUGHTER!
I love my mom's peach crumble pie recipe, but one slice is 475 calories! My challenge was to create a lower calorie "knock-off". Watch the video to find out what happened...
So which pie are you going to make? Mine? or my mom's??? Post a photo of it in your instagram stories and tag me @DrSaraSolomon so I can see it

Stop Dieting:
Finding a routine that works for your unique body is the ultimate secret to long-term health, and for me, that routine is intermittent fasting. As an intermittent faster, I naturally skip breakfast because eating early in the morning makes me feel nauseous, whereas saving my eating window for the afternoon and evening works perfectly with my lifestyle. I find that I am much more relaxed at night, which allows my body to digest food better and lets me fully enjoy my meals stress-free.
