How to Build a Healthy Summer Pantry
Summer is a great time to clean out your pantry and restock your shelves. And while it might seem like a daunting task, trashing the old and unhealthy and bringing in the new and nutritious is not that hard. It just takes a good shopping list and about one to two hours at a high quality supermarket with a variety of brands, says nutritionist Jenny Flora of Canyon Ranch Health Resort, who recently talked healthy pantries with That's Fit.
That's Fit: What does a pantry say about a person?
Flora: Your pantry says a lot about you. If you are choosing higher quality carbohydrates, fruit, breads and cereals, those foods that are minimally processed (the fiber intact), then they will have a less dramatic effect on blood sugar as opposed to those which are highly processed with all the fiber, and in many cases, the protein removed. This is about mostly shopping on the outer corridor of the supermarket, choosing more fresh foods and shopping in the natural foods/organic section. If you are filling up your refrigerator and downsizing the dry storage, you're doing a better job than most families.
That's Fit: How can a pantry make or break a diet?
Flora: Shopping for snack foods that are high in unhealthy fats can add hundreds of calories a day to your diet. High fat foods such as chips, candy, cookies and cakes are not only high in calories (we call them dense-calorie foods) but also can have a detrimental effect on blood sugar and insulin levels, promoting fat storage rather than fat burn.

Hilary Duff is one of the rare tween stars who ended up turning out -- well, really normal. No sex tape, no hospitalizations from "exhaustion" and (surprising for any woman in Hollywood these days) no crazy diet hang ups. We met up with Hilary yesterday while she helped light the Empire State Building up red in honor of the annual AIDS Walk New York, which she will be walking in on Sunday. It's not just a fantastic cause; the six-mile stride is also a good workout. So what else is Hilary doing these days to stay in such great shape? Check out our interview to see what she has to say about getting motivated and how she's getting her body beach ready.

They say the camera adds 10 pounds, but when you're faced with an exact replica of yourself, it's a little hard to blame your weight gain on optical illusions.
It's definitely wedding season, and I'm going to bet you know someone who's getting married in the coming months. And 
If you want to tie up the laces on your walking shoes and hit the pavement, the No. 1 city in the United States to do it is San Francisco where the city government has not one, not two, but 12 agencies devoted to walking issues and concerns.
