What's with all the Bulletproof haters?
I use less butter and less oil (coconut for me) than "suggested" I posted about Bulletproof coffee in 2013. As a coffee lover fanatic, I was intrigued by this new coffee concept and loved the taste of Bulletproof (coffee blended with grass-fed butter and oil) coffee....
5 Hottest Food Trends 2015
photo via Four Sigma Foods Every week, as clients come in for sessions they glance over at our office store and ask, “so what’s new?” And so I thought I’d share a piece I wrote for Fitbit on food trends for 2015. I’m conflicted on the topic of food trends. On one hand...
Bone Broth: Yay or Step Away?
Yesterday I spoke to CBS about bone broth (segment airs Christmas week); Carolyn is going to “break” things down for us today. Bone broth is the new “hot” beverage (literally) of the season. Truth be told it’s not really new but newly popular thank in part to paleo...
Have you heard of Fem-vertising? It’s related to advertising.
Are there people who still watch the nightly news? Friday or Saturday, my son left the room and NBC news was on the TV. I wasn’t watching or not watching. I was on the computer when a segment on a new trend in advertising, called Fem-vertising was discussed....
I stalked my friend
In late October, my friend mentioned she was doing a wellness feature, for the month of November, on her blog. She asked if I could guide her, offer tips that kind of thing. I mentioned that our Foodstalking program was taking off and she was in. Done! We agreed I’d...
Thanksgiving, how did you do?
While there’s no scorecard (well there sort of is), how do you feel after the first holiday hurdle of the season? Many of our Foodtrainees checked in with us and for the most part the reports were something to the effect of “I feel much better than in past years”...
Thanksgiving, rules or no rules?
As some of you know (if you read her blog) I am Foodstalking my friend Aidan this month. Aidan is doing really well (she may be sick of my suggestions but she hasn’t said so), sending me her food log each day but yesterday this question came “thoughts on tgiving...

On Sunday, I was watching OWN (Oprah’s network) but not Super Soul Sunday (my fave), this time I was watching Where Are They Now. Oprah was interviewing George Hamilton…you remember him super tan, dapper, dated Elizabeth Taylor?At one point in the interview they...
Do you have “the demon voice” as Amy Poehler calls it?
We have a questionnaire new clients complete before coming in. We ask all the basic, annoying questions name, address, height and age. Buried in the list is my favorite question, “on a scale of 1 to 10 how content are you with your physique?” The answer to this...
You must read Slim By Design & Giveaway
Whenever I am asked food or nutrition books I recommend, Mindless Eating tops my list. So when I learned that Brian Wansink has a second book out, called Slim by Design I couldn’t wait to read it. That’s actually an understatement, I felt like a groupie who had to get...
Madonna Badger and Organic Food
Do you remember the Madonna Badger story? She’s the woman who lost her three young children and her parents in a house fire on Christmas 2011. Just typing that sentence left a pit in my stomach. I cannot or do not want to even contemplate loss and grief on that level....
Are soup cleanses the new juice cleanses? Giveaway too.
I want to start by saying Carolyn and I love soup. We’ve also been fielding questions about soup cleanses. Nicole Chaszar, the founder of The Splendid Spoon,suggested we meet and taste some of her concoctions but OneSmartBrownie and I had another idea. We wanted to...
