Are you there ADA? It's me, Lauren Slayton
Do you know what ADA stands for? Have you heard about the ADA's activities recently? If you don't and haven't, I'm not surprised. It's a little sad though because I'm an ADA member and have been for a decade. I guest posted about the ADA on a fantastic blog...

Onion Ring Excuses
For some reason, the posts where I detail my dietary digressions or explain the embarrassing seem to stimulate the most feedback. Fast Food Slaytons and Potty Talk are 2 of these posts. In fact, after reading Potty Talk, a friend at a cocktail party said to me “I...
Excellent Energizer
Mondays can be rough. I for one had nothing to drink last night and still felt the morning came too soon today. Despite a mere two days off, our routine seems out of whack on Mondays along with everything else. Monday involves hitting the reset button for our brains,...
Multipurpose Foods
I was really excited when The Daily Green came to me with the following story idea. A reader submitted a question asking if we could eat all the things a multivitamin contains and if so how. My gut reaction was of course we can…. See if I was...
Exercise Edition
A couple months ago I responded to a reader’s request and wrote about what I eat in a typical day. Clients had a lot of feedback, as they always do. Some were happy to hear my day was “as clean” as their food plan and others weren’t as positive. One client even...

You Smooze, You Win
Around this time of year, much like fireflies, frozen yogurt, ice cream, sorbet and the like start to appear. Clients want to know how often we suggest having various frozen concoctions and of course our favorite picks. I’ll admit, I’m a Pinkberry (and Red Mango) fan...
Heat-beating Eating
I recently contributed this piece to a fantastic site called Blisstree. You can check out the original post (and my enormous head) there or read my pasted version below: Summer means more outdoor exercise, but also beach, pool, and backyard parties with (let’s face...
In Fatness and In Health
My husband and I once had what seemed like a light-hearted conversation. I was getting dressed to go out and asked that totally loaded question “does this look good?” To which my husband intelligently answered “honey, everything looks good, I love it.” And out of my...
