10/26-Patricia Bannon, Javier Barberi, Marc Silverstein

Patricia Bannan-Nutritionist & Author

Most of us barely have time to breathe, let alone worry about our nutritional intake. Whether traveling for work, shuffling kids to music lessons and soccer practice, or simply attempting to make it to the gym at least once a month, many of us frequently find ourselves eating on the run. We don’t have time to cook; we don’t have time to bring a healthy lunch from home; we barely have time to read a menu and determine what is “healthy”.

A brand new book, coming out October 25th, by Patricia Bannan, Eat Right When Time is Tight, offers strategies for simple meal snack ideas that will save time and make eating healthfully easier. Eating Right When Time is Tight is currently featured in the October issues of SELF and Parenting magazines.

Bannan will reveal some of the strategies from her new book, including:
·         Eat Right Survival Stash
·         Travel Bites – Eat Healthy on the Road
·         Fat-Proof Your Home
