Sam Smith "Acceptance" Speech, Weight and Success
When my 10 year old asked what happened in Grammy’s and what he missed I said, “Sam Smith won pretty much everything and it was a pretty boring show.” It was also a night of unmemorable, rote acceptance speeches until Sam Smith’s second time up (for record of the year...
The healthiest chocolate you can eat (giveaway)
Earlier this week we sent out our “This Chocolate is MoreImportant Thank Your Valentine” (yup) newsletter. We highlighted all our chocolate loves from on-the-go oatmeal with cacao (chocolate for breakfast) to our newest Nutella-sque crush Rawmio. Today, we’re...
Trainers gonna train, train, train, train
A little background. Last week (has mercury unretrograded? hope so) Carolyn and I received more than a few emails from clients saying, “my trainer told me to buy”. We dutifully checked out said product and found nasty ingredients or something super processed. Thus...
Get chippy with it (I’m really dating myself)
I wrote a Super Bowl (or super snack post) for Fitbit. If you’re curious about creative crudité, the world’s best guac or the secret to game day weight control (nobody, right?) check it out. Today, I wanted to be a little more snack centric and talk chips. Here are...
How Harper's Bazaar and Chloe's fashion director can improve your food day
There are certain magazine features I always enjoy. I’ve written about Us Weekly’s “What’s inyour bag”? but also make sure to read Bazaar’s “My List” where a designer or fashion VIP lists what happens in a typical day. Different from the gum and mints in US...
Do you have metabol-envy?
Yesterday, I sat with a friend and she said if she could have one wish it would be to be able to eat whatever she wanted and not gain weight. I clarified “you mean instead of your family being healthy or world peace?” She said “well one wish or thing I could change...
I whipped myself
You may have read about our Whipping Week we launched for the New Year. Clients have been "whipped" in our offices and via our Foodstalking program people are getting a virtual whipping in Chicago, Texas and Florida. See what happened when Carolyn (@onesmartbrownie)...
Top 5 Healthy Movie Theater snacks (if it were up to me)
As I sat through the worst half hour of movie previews yesterday, my mind wandered. My mind has a few favorite places it wanders to but this time it went to food. I thought about movie theatre food. While my kids will get something from time to time, either when I’m...
One Size Fits Nobody
Earlier this week (or last week? it's all starting to blur) I was trolling twitter for interesting links. Jane Pratt (xojane.com) listed a few topics she wanted her staff to write about. Well I’m not on her staff (but like their content) and clicked through to a...
Wakaya and Whipping
For us, January 5th is the real start of the year. We’re back in the Foodtrainers’ offices and sent out our “We’re Ready To Whip You (and you’ll like it) newsletter. About the “whipping”, we developed a Whipping Week (to whip everyone back into shape not...
Happy New Year, here's what I suggest
Wow, a year ago today the Little Book of Thin was released. I was holed up in my apartment reviewing and reviewing for a Today show segment. I wasn’t thinking resolutions. Yesterday I was pretty free and spent some time reading resolution advice. Time magazine...
Drew Barrymore, Oprah and one final rant for the year
I didn’t plan on posting this week. I f igured I’d store up some ideas (and calories) for all that January-ness. Then I saw a page I had ripped out of People (in my bathroom, hey last TMI for 2014 too, why not). I will take a photo of the clipping but you’ll be...
