Eat more to lose weight? What?

Usually you see eat less when dieting, but you have to take my post title with some wisdom. Of course I’m not saying eat more donuts or pizza, but I find that some clients are not eating enough throughout the day to keep their metabolism burning fat and calories. These are also the clients that say [...]

From Diet for a New America to Time Magazine

I remember when John Robbins came out with the book Diet for a New America. Did you read it? It made a huge splash because John Robbins is from the family of the famous Baskin and Robins 31 flavors(oh my favorite was jamoca almond fudge). This book was a real eye opener and I feel one of [...]

Build a fence and prevent cars from going off the cliff, aha, prevention

When I was in college taking epidemiology you learn about health studies of large groups of people over the course of years and what health issues they end up with based on diet, lifestyle, age, and other factors. I bring this up today to mention another piece of my history and psychology about health. It’s called  prevention. 
One [...]

Moods, foods, and keeping balanced

Well I just took my spoonful of fish oil, yum. Or maybe not’s quite the word to use. I do it because my favorite food to affect moods are the omega 3 fatty acids. Now somewhere along the way someone has asked me about how do foods affect moods. So since I’m feeling kinda moody today, [...]

Bye bye belly fat. Is it possible?

Yes you can. I mean you can say bye bye belly fat but you have to really know which foods, lifestyle habits and stress management tools to use, right?  So is it that you’re a woman and it’s fluctuating hormones going through your system? Is it you eat too many refined carbohydrates? Or is it you just [...]

Sifting through the quagmire of diets

Everyday there’s information online about a new study here, a new study there which determines how we lose weight. Because I’ve been a dieter all my life, studied nutritional science and psychology, I find the practicality of day to day living as the main stumbling block for people. And sometimes financial means aren’t there to have [...]

Where have all the minerals gone? Well, a long, long time ago….

I walked through my local health food store today very carefully. Usually I’m in a rush getting what I need and rushing out. Today I really took time to see what products are out there and maybe look for a little inspiration to write my post. I found it through color.
No matter how many colorful packaged goods [...]

Doing Things Differently Once You Plateau

One of the best ways to get your weight loss going after you reach a plateau is do something different. I find this all the time with clients and come up with a new exercise, food plan or cleanse to jump start them again.
I noticed in the last few months I’ve added jogging 2 miles [...]

Weight Loss Requires Determination

Just musing today, Friday about how to support your healthy choices over the weekend. In working with so many individuals who want to lose weight, get better muscle tone, and achieve better health, remember determination. It’s one of my favorite words because you have to determine how you’re going to achieve your goals and then [...]

Prozac or Nutrition

We are not deficient in prozac. Why oh why oh why do we keep handing out the drugs to mask the symptoms. Certainly if there is a crisis, such as a death, divorce, horrific experience one must get through and the drug can be forward moving. BUT don’t you think too many people are following [...]
