What we cooked/watched/read (this weekend, Nov 2)
We’re back again with our weekend round up! As Lauren said last week, we love comparing notes on what we did over the weekend – although if we’re being honest, we’re usually in touch fri through sun too. So here is this weekend’s experimentation. What we Cooked:...
Portions on food labels, can we discuss?
We receive a ton of food product samples. As we suggest to clients, we first look at the ingredients. If there are artificial dyes or artificial sweeteners, soy, too much sugar or other shady things listed, we’re giving it to the doormen (is this mean to give them our...
What we read, watched, cooked (this weekend)
You may have noticed we’ve blogged more frequently lately. By “lately”, we mean the last week, that counts- right? We’re excited to put more energy into the Foodtrainers’ blog. With that, we have a new feature. For a while, we’ve toyed with doing some sort of a weekly...
Some suggestions for this scary time
I have a new feature for Mondays, on the blog, but I’m going to save that for tomorrow. I know this is a nutrition blog but our focus, at Foodtrainers, is on wellness. And it’s hard to feel well with what’s going on. On Saturday, hibernating from the nor’easter that...
Halloween candy for adults
Halloween is around the corner. And while you definitely want to steer clear of the standard "fun size" junk, it's natural to want a little something sweet. We didn't realize how popular our Natural Calm gummies were, until they tragically went out of stock. If you...
Solutions for Stress Eating
I had a session yesterday, with a client in the midst of a very busy stretch at work. For this post, I’ll call her “Busy”. Busy described being overscheduled, under rested and working around the clock. “At the end of the day, I feel I deserve a treat.” This is what...
Why “small frequent meals” is bullshit
A lot of nutrition advice involves a kernel of truth and a lot of exaggeration. Let’s take “eat small, frequent meals.” The reasoning goes something like this, each time you eat, your metabolism is stoked. The scientific term is the thermic effect of food. The problem...
Red Table Talk & Body Image
If you ask me what I did this weekend, I could say I saw my high school friends, went for a couple of brisk runs (brisk meaning chilly not fast) and went to the farmer’s market. But what I really did was binge-watch the first season of Red Table Talk. If you’re...
Coffee Drinkers, check your milk
If you’ve read our blog/social media posts you know that we are decidedly pro coffee and matcha. We can totally geek out with coffee recipes, there’s our Boss coffee, we recently posted our frozen tahini latte and our blender bulletproof matcha is coming your...
The Squeeze Green Cauli Rice Recipe
This week at Foodtrainers is ALL SQUEEZE EVERYTHING! As Lauren mentioned earlier this week, we are busy cooking, mantra-ing, and hydrating with our official Foodtrainers Flasks. All Squeeze participants receive a package of “secret weapon” ingredients and a rulebook...
September Squeeze Week
I have such a low threshold for being “selly”. I unfollow people who are constantly pushing their seminars and books and just repeating themselves. I think it has probably hurt my business that I cannot sell, sell, sell. I have even realized that sometimes people...
Sorry Karin Michels, Coconut Oil Isn’t Poison
The first time I heard about the video claiming “Coconut Oil is Poison”, I dismissed it as attention seeking clickbait. As the video, because of the crazy headline, gained traction we decided to clarify our stance on coconut oil. Oh, and If you click on the...
