What’s for dinner? TBD is not the best answer.
One of the tenets of Foodtraining is that planning eclipses willpower (can’t use the word trump anymore, for obvious reasons). Oftentimes in sessions, in order to gauge a client’s planning, I’ll ask “what’s for dinner tonight?” It is the first week back, for many...
Do you know why you’re taking supplements? You should
I was in with a longtime client yesterday. As we were outlining her plan, she asked, “I’ve been coming here for years, do I need to know why I eat/take things- can’t I just trust you?” The truth is, if you are seeing a doctor, nutritionist, acupuncturist etc., you...

The secret to weight loss (or one of them)

What we read, watched, cooked (this weekend 11/23/18)
So, the “we” this week is an “I”, lucky Carolyn is in Australia. She’s asleep right now (16-hour time difference), no need to bug her. Hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. What I read I read Conversations with Friends and really enjoyed it. On the surface, it seems...
It’s a holiday, eat whatever you want? Nope.
Thanksgiving Eve. Like many of you (and sorry if you’re not), I’m off today. Yesterday, Grace was busy sending out Shop Foodtrainers packages, I had two jam-packed client days. It always seems frenetic pre-holiday. Last night, I was relaxing, finishing up my first...
What we read, watched, cooked (this weekend, 11/16/18)
As I write this, Carolyn is somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, en route to Australia (insert jealousy emoji). Needless to say, she was busy prepping for her trip and we’re always busy, pre-holiday, with clients. What we read I read Michelle Obama’s book, Becoming,...

5 ingredients to make salad exciting
In most cases, when people say they don't like a certain food, it's because they haven't had a good version of that food. This is definitely the case with salad. If, in your mind, salad means a pile of ho-hum lettuce with bottled dressing, you haven't had...
