Foodtrainers' Favorite 2010 Posts
Last week I mentioned to a fellow blogger that I didn’t see myself taking a break from posting while away. She said she was, “even if you post, do you think people will be reading?” She had a good point and the truth is I’m not sure. We’re completely snowed in here in...

Sugar and Spice
It’s complicated enough dealing with all our different living family members this time of year. Yet, for me and I’m sure many of you, holiday time and all it’s associated traditions, remind us of those we are missing, those who aren’t with us. It can be a certain food...
Foodtrainers' Favorite Daytime Drink
I am a sucker for packaging. I buy wine based on the label and my favorite skincare has a clean modern design. Ultimately though, if it isn’t good wine or there aren’t good ingredients in a food or cosmetic, I will not purchase it but I like pretty things. In full...

Good Manners or Good Health?
On Friday, I was a guest on “Whole Living” on Martha Stewart radio talking healthy holidays. We discussed holiday parties and the holiday mindset and then, my favorite part of the show, we opened up the phone lines to callers. One caller, I believe his name was Brad,...
Shiver Yourself Skinny
Last week I was on a field trip with my son’s class. We went on a hike and it was freezing out. Toward the end another mom and I were joking about having to hit the restroom and she said, “the cold always makes me have to go to the pee.” I agreed then wondered why...
Ballet Brouhaha
Since Black Swan came out, there seems to be a bit of chatter about dancer's bodies and anorexia. Do you think the movie may encourage behavior associated with eating disorders? And of course, there is the NYT critic who made the comment that Jennifer...
Double Chocolate
People often say to me, knowing that I am a nutritionist, “your kids must eat really well.” For the most part, my boys are good eaters. I find the biggest struggle with balance. I make an effort not to present healthy foods as the only foods and not to have treats off...
Gleeful Glutton or Meager Eater?
(This is from a post I wrote for my favorite site Blisstree)Yesterday I was reading a blog that referred to the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas as “The Eating Season.” I hadn’t heard this specific phrase before, but in my line of work, I certainly can’t escape...
Snack of the Week
I suggested Food Should Taste Good to a client with a chip habit. I told her about my 2 love children. First there was "Lime" and later "Cheddar". My client showed up at her next nutrition session visibly annoyed. She sat down and...
Watching Weight Watchers
I don’t belong to a gym anymore. As much as I like to run outside, I despise what one of my fellow bloggers refers to as the “dreadmill.” When I had a gym membership I saw too many people simply going through the exercise motions. Perhaps they were on the elliptical...
