Foodtrainers’ Blog
I’ll say thank you with my favorite new product
Thank you. On Monday, I floated it out there that I needed help deciding on the cover for my book The Little Book of Thin (I received a few emails that I had not mentioned the book enough, just wait). Your comments came in via the blog and Facebook and I was...
Of course we judge a book (and others according to Laurie Cole) by its cover.
photo via Us Weekly I’m still editing this book though I can see a finish line in sight. We’ve been tweaking different version of the front (and back) cover and I’m fairly certain “let’s put this to bed” from my publisher means they’re annoyed with my desire to get...
Foodtrainers Favorite NYC places…and my anniversary
Fifteen years ago today it was raining. Perhaps you remember “El Niño”? My brother in law carried me across the lawn in a garbage bag. Don’t freak out, he was making sure my wedding gown didn’t get dirty (and it didn’t) going from the house where we got ready in...

You Really Need One of These

Not Everyone Supported Angelina's Message, Important Points From Someone Who Knows
When it comes to medical choices it’s impossible to know how we’ll react until we’re face to face with a diagnosis. I learned this first hand when my father was sick. When an infection found its way into a stent the doctor said (surgeons can be so eloquent) “it’s his...
What the day of the week means for your weight
It’s strategic when clients schedule appointments with me on Mondays. A Monday check in means that weekend socializing and food fun will be curbed slightly, at least that’s the intention. I was watching Chelsea Handler’s show last week and she shared she was having a...
Christie Versus Abercrombie
If you look like this you must have lots of friends The news was full of weight-related stories last week. Governor Chris Christie had lap band surgery to lose weight despite telling Letterman he’s “the healthiest fat guy you’ve ever seen”. Also this week, Mike...
