So you think you can hard-boil eggs?
When I first started practicing nutrition, I would eagerly meet with my new clients. We would talk about their week and I would write out a food plan. For example, I might suggest “2 hardboiled eggs with blueberries” for a breakfast choice or “salmon with...
Is All Fish Healthy?
Do these look like happy fish? It bothers me that people are confused about what to eat. I take pride in distilling intricate nutrition information into something straight forward and easy to follow. For today's blog, my plan was to explain the differences between...
Skinnygirl or Suspicious Girl?
In case you haven’t heard (or do not really care and I get that) Bethenny Frankel’s Skinnygirl Margarita was yanked from the shelves of Whole Foods because it contains sodium benzoate. And in case you don’t know who Bethenny Frankel is she was on Bravo’s Real...
My Popcorn Secrets
I’ve been the bearer of bad news lately. First it was skim milk, then salad dressing and last week I was urging you to “just say no” to nonstick cookware. It’s generally more fun to add than subtract and I’m happy to be here today to tell you to eat more of something....
Does Taste Matter?
When a client comes in reporting that they veered from their nutrition plan, my first question is generally “was it worth it?” You see, to me there’s a difference between a treat and a cheat. Treats are worth it. The best pizza Chicago has to offer, your grandmother’s...
App-etite: Top 5 Healthy Apps

Cookware Considerations
I was turning 21 for the first birthday I spent with my husband (then boyfriend). Twenty-one wasn’t a big deal. After all, in NYC and New Orleans “legal” didn’t mean much. I was more excited to be with someone I loved and to go hear some music (The Eagles,...
Ditch the (Bottled) Salad Dressing
Lovely photo, thank you Lisa I have a longtime client who has maintained a 20-pound weight loss for almost ten years. She’s savvy when it comes to food ingredients, she orders wild salmon from Vital Choice and knows to BYOC (bring your own chicken) so she...

Cool Hand Cuke from Colonie Restaurant Our August newsletter focused on healthy summer cocktails. You see, for the most part, our clients like to drink. Our view is that if you’re going to indulge in sweets or cocktails or anything else we'll help you find the...
Controversial Diet Book for Young Girls
We do not see children under 12 at Foodtrainers. My feeling has always been that parents versus children make most food decisions, prior to that age. If necessary, I will consult with parents of young children or refer them out to a therapist if I feel a serious issue...
Beating PMS Eating (Sorry Guys)
New female clients often ask “how much weight should I expect to lose?” My conservative estimate is one to two pounds a week or three to six pounds a month. Huh (I can see them thinking), "shouldn’t that be four to eight pounds if you’re losing one to two a week"?...
Top 10 Healthy Food Trucks
We sent Lisa to scout out the top 10 healthy food trucks in NYC and figure out what the truck fuss was all about. Many of us grew up with ice cream trucks, hot dog stands, and the occasional bake sale wagon. Aside from that “mobile food” didn’t have much meaning, or...
