Taking the Guilt Out of Pleasure
This may be the most appropriate week to address this: GUILTY PLEASURES! We all have them. Some of us take them in the form of salt, others in the form of sweet. Either way, they are there. They’re lurking at the coffee bar, on the menu, next to the cashier, and in the most well-lit [...]
Read moreSuper Bowl Serenity
Have I mentioned that I just finished a life-altering cleanse? During those two weeks I was put to the ultimate test: the Super Bowl! An annual affair synonymous with drinking, eating and shouting. Even though I am far from a sports nut, I love a wild Sunday Funday here and there. Superbowl is one of [...]

Rounding out the end of this 14 day cleanse and I must say: I am really proud of everyone who followed through with their promises to themselves. Every single day I had someone approach me with some discovery they had on the cleanse. “I didn’t eat while I was cooking dinner! I used to snack [...]

Read moreWaking Up from a Food Coma
My body has been begging for this. It has been begging me to give it a little space. Space between the emotional eating, the promises that tomorrow I’ll avoid chocolate, salt, alcohol, carbs. All those things that seem so unavoidable, seem to keep finding themselves lodged in my gullet. It’s like I’ve been suffocating. Working [...]
Read moreDetoxing Your Mind & Body Cleanse!
Trying to get rid of the concept of “food rewards” is something I’ve tried to do for years. A lot of us grew up with the idea that if you were “good” then you were “rewarded” with candy, ice cream, McDonald’s or any of the other crap that we spend the rest of our lives [...]
Read moreThe Food Conundrum
I’m sure by now a lot of you are full force in your diets for a healthy, happy & fit 2012. Avoiding this and that but secretly pining for the time that you can give in to a gooey dessert or sourdough anything. I find that with food, I have a really hard time just [...]
Read moreSnack Trap-tics – Healthy Snacking to the Rescue!
Movie theaters are total traps! There are no healthy food options and there is absolutely no way to avoid the foods you spend the rest of your day trying not to eat. I find these traps in so many parts of daily life that I think it’s time that we work out how to stay [...]
