Spring Break, We’re Ready For You
It’s certainly not feeling springy in NYC, so what better time for some spring break travel? We may be oddballs but, when it comes to packing for a trip, we start with snacks and “secret weapons”. We’ll sacrifice not matching as long as we’re not hangry. Plus, whether...
Has Barbara Streisand gained the “Trump 20”?
Impossible to find an inelegant photo of Streisand eating, I tried. “Donald Trump made me gain weight.” This was tweeted by Babs (and I read it in the Post so it must be true). She also mentioned pancakes after the morning news and more pancakes when...
Seven Non-Sweet, Satisfying Snacks

Cinnamon on CBS
I'm spice obsessed and talked about cinnamon's super powers with CBS. Cinnamon can reduce your appetite and balance blood sugar levels. It's an immune booster. I was mainlining cinnamon with my family sick last week (I didn't get sick, just sayin). Cinnamon also...
Let’s talk turmeric (and no it doesn’t yellow your teeth)
“I stopped having turmeric, my friend told me it yellows your teeth and she’s Indian”I would’ve gently dismissed this client’s reasoning if she wasn’t the third to mention turmeric teeth. I had one of our research elves look...
I Noticed Lady Gaga’s Belly and Moved On
I missed Lady Gaga’s halftime show live. While I was busy filling my belly at Shaya in New Orleans (heavenly hummus and halloumi), others were tweeting about Gaga’s belly. I didn’t know about the belly or belly commentary until yesterday (the day...
No monogamy here, we have many, healthy chocolate loves
Dark chocolate is healthy, blah, blah, blah. We know that’s old (but still fantastic) news. No knocks against our long-term loves, Hu Kitchen, Endangered Species + Nibmor, but it’s time for your relationship with chocolate to go to the next level. We’ve played the...
Canyon Ranch told my friend to do this, here’s what I suggested
My friend mentioned, in a text, that she had been to Canyon Ranch last weekend. I expressed my jealousy, she then asked “do I really need 30 grams of fiber every ding dong day?”I told her what I’m about to tell you and that’s that normal people...

How to Kill Carb and Sweet Cravings
We tend to draw a line between foods we’ll try (anything) and what we’ll suggest to clients and readers. It’s affirming, that we’re headed in a healthier direction, when foods we previously felt were offbeat become mainstream. One such category...
Would you tell someone they’re overweight?
Last week, I was bargaining with myself to get on the treadmill. I was sick of my playlists and glanced at my podcast roster. I saw a Dear Sugar podcast on body image. It was 40-something minutes on what sounded like a juicy topic. I chose this over Adele for the...
Be a creature of freshness
Last night, on Instagram, I read a blogger’s caption for her photo. It read “New year, same food. My eating doesn't change just because it's January first.” I say, good for her. She’s probably one of those people who says “I’m...
