Show notes

We've officially passed what's known as "Quitter's Day", the second Friday in January where people generally abandon their new year's resolutions. If you're feeling down because you've swapped the celery for Timbits, don't! According to dietician Abbey Sharp, there is a better way and January may not even be the best time to start something new. Host Eva Fragiskatos sits down with Abbey to talk about the best way to be healthy, how to avoid fads and how to stay sane in a time where everyone has an opinion on food and nutrition. You can also listen to Abbey's podcast - "Bite Back with Abbey Sharp" here: Bite Back with Abbey Sharp - Frequency Podcast Network Bite Back with Abbey Sharp. Read more about Abbey at: Toronto Media Dietitian, Food Blogger, TV Personality - Abbey Sharp | Abbey's Kitchen (abbeyskitchen.com) We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.
