There has been a lot of discussion on the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, and the pitfalls of Omega-6 fatty acids. I think it is time for a primer on what these different types of fat do and how it impacts our health. I promise I won’t make this too science ‘geeky’ – but, it […]
Well – I just got back from vacation. It was wonderful – but, I also brought back 5 pounds. Even though I walked over 6 miles a day – 5 pounds! I really wanted to kick the scale out the window. Yes, I know that it might be water weight. But, it could also be […]
Hey everyone – not looking ‘put together’ here – but, I just got done with a 50 minute workout (so forgive my au naturele look.) Just wanted to peek in and say ‘Hi’ and introduce myself a bit more personally. Spring is here and summer is right around the corner. Why don’t we work to […]
Last week the New York Times wrote an article about the long term capability of “The Biggest Loser” participants to keep weight off (not a good track record) and how dieting doesn’t work. According to the Times, the diet industry ‘reacted defensively’ about the article. I considered the piece to be a bit shoddy on […]

Remember growing up when the only lettuce you had was the pale green iceberg […]

So, the first thing you have to consider is what DO you want to accomplish? For many of us – it means losing that last 10 – 15 pounds so we can look great in a swimsuit – or, stun them at the class reunion. For others, it means learning a new skill (Thai cooking, […]
Alright – your goal may not be based on nutritional needs. I get that! Yet, in order to be your highest self – we may need to look at where you are nutritionally. Making changes (even if non-physical) takes work and, your body works best on ‘Real Food’. However, if you are joining this program […]
Spring brings the promise of shedding the old heavy winter foods and providing us with wonderful new flavors to enjoy. But, then again – each new season brings its own delicacies in which to look forward to. We all know that real food is incredibly important for our health – but, did you know that […]
It is time for a sensible and easy snack. I love these crackers – they are simple and quick to make, taste great and are incredibly healthy. Hemp seed is a real nutritional powerhouse. They are high in nutritional value and contain 20 different amino acids and all nine of the essential amino acids (like flax). And, don’t […]
