Is Your Eating Gay Or Straight?
I am normally quite critical of those without nutrition training writing nutrition books or telling people what to eat. I’ll make exceptions when the advice is smart, funny or, naturally, when its something I agree with. In Wednesday’s Dining Times I read an article...
Birth Control or Weight Control?
What in this purse may affect your weight? Many clients come to see me for the first time when their doctors inform them their cholesterol or blood sugar is elevated. They want to improve their diet in order to avoid going on medication. I totally get this;...
You May Fail, Be a Resolution-ary Anyway
From one of my Facebook friends, love it though a little more to it... Many people get divorced and many others drop out of college. Did either of these facts affect your decision to ultimately get married or attend college? Each of these endeavors need to be taken...
Clare Veronica Walsh was Fearless Too
I was wasting time on Twitter Monday, while my boys finished skiing. Many of the people I follow were tweeting about a Clare Walsh. I’ve never met Clare Walsh but learned that she was a teacher at Soul Cycle, in her early twenties and passed away on Christmas...
Cooler, Scale, Magnifying Mirror- Let's Go.
Insert roof rack for more accurate image I’m sure a good number of you are away as you read this. If you’re not, take comfort in the fact that you have access to your kitchen, your usual workouts, and your routine. Yes, sure I know some of the “fun” of being away is...
Special Teas and Tips
This photo doesn't have that much to do with this post I am a little bit of a tea freak. Purists swear by loose-leaf tea but more often than not I use tea bags. I have a huge selection of teas at home, in my office and keep a few bags in my purse at all times. I'll...
Pie in the Sky and other Food for Thought

Is Blunt Better?
I have a friend who has been spinning a lot lately at a local studio. She told me about a pal of hers who has lost a significant amount of weight; I believe it was 100 pounds. We’ll call my friend B and B’s friend N (I’ll explain reasoning later). Before a...
Much Ado Or What To Do About Apple Juice?

Potty Talk Part Three: Constipation Nation
We talk about our children and our spouses, about work and our weight. We can talk about PMS, pimples and wrinkles but we draw the line. We don’t really talk about our tummy troubles. And we have them, I don’t know what it is but I feel as though constipation is...
A Diet Soda a Day if the ADA has Their Way
Did you know the average American consumes 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day? At 16 calories per teaspoon, that is adding 352 calories a day. Over a week, that translates to ingesting an additional 2464 calories. Did you know a 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened...
Four New Foodtrainers' Favorites and Giveaway
Years ago, I remember meeting Kara Goldin in the expo hall at a convention. She had one of the off-to –the-side booths reserved for small companies. I sampled my first Hint water; it was watermelon (or was it pear?). I loved that Hint had no sugar juice, dyes or...
