You can go your own way if you want to make it work," said Tom Henne, a graduate student in dietetics and business at Dominican University.

People who are diagnosed with celiac disease can get help from a registered dietitian when adopting a gluten-free diet, but other resources include the book "Easy Gluten-Free" and the Gluten Dietetic App. RD Dee Sandquist, a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, says people with gluten sensitivity may be able to tolerate small amounts of gluten, but should see a physician first to rule out celiac disease. The Boston Globe/Nutrition and You! blog (tiered subscription model) (8/7) - Offering variety leads to eating more vegetables, study finds

Data on 1,196 normal-weight teens showed that 22% of girls and 9% of boys classified themselves as overweight, which increased their risk of obesity later in life.

A small study in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism revealed participants who underwent either a 30-minute endurance exercise or a two-minute intense sprint exercise had nearly identical oxygen consumption at 24 hours.

The Oregonian (Portland) (8/7) - Grab-and-go fruits, veggies could keep cafeteria lines moving
School-nutrition professionals in an Arizona district say they have altered meal planning and are looking into new marketing techniques as they adhere to federal standards for school meals. Charlene Story, Yuma Union High School District's nutrition-services director, said her goal is to serve more fruits and vegetables in grab-and-go containers to keep cafeteria lines moving. She's also had to adjust menus, removing items such as baked chicken because the serving size is too large under the guidelines. The Yuma Daily Sun (Ariz.) (8/6) - Arugula, peach and cheddar salad
