Welcome to my site!

Welcome to my site. I would first like to introduce myself. My name is Jeff Reinhard. I have been cooking 

for a living since 1973. I have been a professional chef for the past 31 years.  My last two gigs were The Brown Pelican Restaurant and John Hagan's Tavern in Frederick MD. I was the Chef/ owner of both of these popular dining venues.  

The mission of this site is to explore the world of food and how it fits into a healthy overall lifestyle.

I know there are literally millions of websites, books, magazines, and videos devoted to this subject. What will 

differentiate this site is the fact that the topic will be seen

through the eyes of a professional chef who is actually living the lifestyle. I blows my mind to see people

buying a diet cookbook written by a 500 lb. chef! (true fact).

What we'll do here is talk about how to balance diet, exercise, and work in order to maintain a healthy weight and to stay in shape without sacrificing the pleasure of eating well at every meal.  The topics we will cover include: What to eat.  What not to eat. How to eliminate belly fat. Where to shop. And of course recipes.  As this is my first posting I would like to invite everyone to post their ideas for articles or any recipe requests.
