Here at Dashing Dish, we are not about diets. Instead, we are about encouraging healthy choices as a lifestyle; one that involves so much more than our bodies. An overflow of abundance and the well-being of every area of our life—our mental, emotional, relational, financial, and especially our spiritual—is God’s heart and should therefore, be our focus. That said, we understand that some of you reading this may have healthy and God-honoring goals for weight loss. If you are currently planning...

We spend a lot of time discussing nutrition and making wise food choices. Yet, what is in your cup is just as important as what is on your plate. Many well-meaning women sabotage their weight loss efforts with drinks (even some that may surprise you, we're looking at you juice, soda, and pumpkin spice—the trifecta of liquid sabotage!). Here's the dish on some of the most common drink offenders that may hinder weight loss.

Specialty coffee drinks

While PSL may win a popularity contest, it...

Anxiety and fear. Do you struggle with one or both of these!? Do you realize it’s not Gods will for you to live in anxiety or fear? In fact, God commands us to “fear not”, and cast our anxieties on Him!

So how do we break free? First, acknowledge that fear is a spirit that God had not given us. He wants us to be free and He has provided a sound mind for us, but we have a part to play!

So what’s our part!? It’s not quite as simple as following steps, because it’s more about relationship with...

Losing weight means your body must be in a calorie deficit. Here are eight ways to achieve this without counting calories or going to extremes:

1. Build Your Meals Around Protein & Veggies- Protein keeps you full for longer, and the fiber and water content from veggies fill your stomach and keep you satisfied!

2. Ditch the Empty Calories- Empty calories can come from processed foods, sugary drinks, or anything that doesn't provide nutrition, while filling your body with calories.Bottom line-...

Resolution and transformation are two entirely different things. Transformation involves a change in condition, nature, and character, while resolution requires resolve, determination, and will.

Almost all resolutions require sacrifices that are determined by human will. That's why most people can "will" themselves to stay resolved for several months, but their sincere intentions usually fall by the wayside. On the other hand, transformation is a change that happens through something greater...

New Year's resolutions abound. Chances are, you know someone with lofty aspirations to write on their clean slate this year. Now, don't get me wrong. It is not my intention to dismiss resolutions. We are even told in the Bible that goals and prudent planning are essential to success. But when the Ides of March rolls around, most people's well-intentioned resolutions often become mere suggestions. There are many reasons resolutions fail (a whole article in itself), but one of the main reasons...

God gives us food as a gift.

What is your immediate reaction after reading that? Do you agree with praise and gratitude, or do you consider food to be more of a burden and stress? We see from scripture that food is a gift from our gracious and loving father and God's first gift. Today, I want to help us see food as a true gift.

In the story of creation, we see God's many attributes. He creates, He hovers, He speaks, He names, He separates, He blesses, and He watches. He declares His works as...

It’s almost the new year, which means programs and diets will be tempting for so many; But I always like to remind people - how did that work for you last year!?

I get it- it’s tempting to want a quick fix when you feel stuck. Unfortunately, none of us get where we are (good or bad) quickly. It takes time, day after day choosing habits and being consistent with them.

So what if we flipped the script and focused on habits we can change, just a few things at a time and consistently applied those...
