A Few KaleMales
I'm nearing the book finish line but not there yet, I asked Carolyn to write about a trend we've been observing. As Lauren can attest, I have been on several of ‘the worst dates ever’ but one in particular stands out. A guy brought me on a ‘surprise date’ to a...
Joy Bauer, Joan Rivers and Experimentation
Photo via OmFactoryNYC When I was in graduate school at NYU, Joy Bauer came to speak. In the Q and A, Joy was asked what she suggested we read for nutrition information. Her response was to “read it all” both the scientific literature and the lowbrow crap. It was good...
Make Your Own Almond Milk To Avoid This Ingredient
A real blogger would have their own photos, this from Vitamix I am not one of those people who feels I have to make everything myself. Part of me would like to be that person. Realistically, I’m of the belief if someone else can do it better I will defer to them. I...
What's Better Raw or Cooked?
Last week I posted the lovely Juli Novotny’s letter where she discussed her initial discovery of raw food. Thank you for all your emails and comments. A handful of clients came into their sessions asking, so if I want to feel like she did do I need to go raw? This...
Goodbye Kookie Karma
Years ago a client told me about a healthy chocolate chip cookie. The second this client left my office I was tracking down these “Holistic Chocolate Chip” creations. I was so bowled over when I first tasted this kookie that I wrote a love letter to it (I know). Over...

Chocolate Knight and Giveaways
Evolve Truffles, our #1 this year I apologize. I know many loyal Foodtrainers’ blog readers are single and Valentines Day is especially annoying with the hearts, the love, the whole thing. I’m married so who am I to complain about the day of love, right? Monday, we...
Sarah Jessica Parker Used to Eat Everything
We all have a friend or know someone who eats whatever they want to and never gains weight. In fact, many of my clients are tormented by their spouses or coworkers who appear to always say, “yes please” and remain thin. Skinny bitches without even trying. Where...
The World's Healthiest Food, Are You Eating It?
Clients often mention in their sessions that they need “new foods”. I’m the first to suggest a new recipe, or interesting combination but remind them there aren’t necessarily new fruits and vegetables. Except when there are. Six months ago I didn’t know about...
When it comes to food, does guilt help?
from knockknockstuff.com, I can think of a few people this is perfect for I didn’t grow up with guilt. I should say I didn’t grow up with parents who used guilt as a means to motivate. For whatever reason, we did our homework and wanted to do well in school….because...
