      Hi Katy, I followed your blog for a little while and have recently been trying to eat healthier and remembered your blog had wonderful clean eating recipes and ideas but now I can't find it anywhere :( is there a way I can still access it? I loved followi

      Yes you can just tweet me your email @ktbrooks. I will also be making a you tube page soon with some workouts.

      Hey Katy! I am a college freshman and the dreaded "freshman fifteen" is becoming more real to me than ever! Do you have any advice in regards to healthy options when eating in the dining halls, or foods/eating habits that I should avoid? Thanks!

      Basically looking for the least processed foods. Probably more often than not that's going to be the salad bar. But also, you could request for them to make steamed veggies in the back instead of the buttered or cheesy ones from the pan :)

      Hi Katy! I used to be a reader of your blog (and loved it!) but have noticed that you have changed the permissions. I was wondering if you are accepting requests for access? I especially loved your clean cookie dough recipe but can't access it anymore!

      Shoot me an email, I can get you on my readers list if you'd like. Katypbrooks@gmail.com

      Hi Katy, I ♥♥♥ your blog! I live in Frisco, but travel to Arlington on Saturdays to attend my nephew's soccer games. What's that flea market and may I get Rhea's contact info? Also, from where did you get the "&" sign?

      Shoot me an email. I can definitely get that for you.

      how do you decide which protein shake is right, there are so many options out there. I need something for my post workouts, preferably something low in sugar & super tasty. Thanks!!

      Absolutely. Well it depends on what's important to you. Dairy free is important to me, but again whey is probably the quickest responding form of protein post workout. Look for the lowest sugar count and be careful of additives. Look for Isolate if you're going for whey (versus concentrate) and pea protein or spirulina is good for a vegan option.

      Hi Katy, I've just (literally this week) jumped on the weight/strength training bandwagon after years of cardio-mania. Are you a fan of heavy weight, low rep training -as per Rusty Moore's Visual Impact for Women? What is your take on his guide?

      Yes, absolutely. Especially if you're coming from a cardio/over trained place, you definitely need the intensity of heavier weights to shock your muscles and body. Good luck!

      I know you've posted about them before, but I can't seem to find it (maybe I'm lazy) but what protein shake mix do you use? thanks

      Currently it's Sunwarrior!

      Hi Katy! I am motivated by your transformation you look amazing! Do you recommend a DETOX before starting eating healthy for life? If so can you post some suggestions or maybe some that you have done? Sincerest Thanks!

      I don't really. Unless you're coming off a crazy sugar laden phase, clean eating will push you in the direction you need to go.

      Re: Your 2010 post about Loft Wool Military Coat (eggplant). I have the same coat & the buttons fall off continuously. I've barely worn it in 2 years because I'm always having the buttons replaced. Have you had this same problem? If so, any solutions? TY!

      I didn't end up buying, I actually just did a fitting room review.

      Hi Katy - love your blog! I was wondering if you tan or what tanning products you use?

      I use a bronzing lotion by Loreal every once in a while but that's it!

      i got up to 8 mph on HiiT with 30 seconds rest in between and did that for a full 20 minutes! i've bumped myself up to 9 mph 30 seconds, with 60 seconds rest and i have to say it's significantly harder. It will get easier right!? the goal is 10 mph

      Oh yes it will definitely get easier! Just give your self time. Pushing too much will tax your adrenal glands. As long as you're heart rate is in the right zone, that's what matters!

      Hi Katy! I'm a newbie to it all, so I got a couple questions. Would you consider protein shakes a meal (say if you're trying to eat 5 to 6 smalls meals a day)? And I know you limit your sugar intake, to little to none; how many grams do you have daily?

      I would consider it a post workout "meal" yes, and then eat your next meal about an hour after that. I have no idea about my grams per day but per meal I try to keep it under 8-10g.

      I've been running intervals on the treadmill for several months now and just starting experiencing some terrible IT band pain. I got one of those straps, but the area lateral to my knee really starts to hurt if I go faster than a brisk walk. Any thoughts?

      My thoughts are you could be wearing the wrong type of shoe for your foot and stride! I would get fitted for a different shoe that you're currently using. Also are you heel striking? Consistent foam rolling can really help (especially before a run).
