I'm posting some advice I gave to a client in our private forums. I feel most of us have gone through this at some time or another. It's natural to be jealous of someone's success. What is a waste of your time is letting them have all the...

My girls work so hard. They feel like they are charging ahead, doing things right most of the time (but they haven't journaled their food), getting in (almost) every workout, working out (pretty) hard, etc. Notice a trend here? They will come to the...

A client posed a problem to me that I think almost every person can relate to: eating out and the nutritional dangers it can pose. Everyday she eats out at work and finds it hard to say no to going or once there finds it hard to order “safe” foods. Here...

Be PROUD of yourself!

I am proud of myself. I had a cold, a right hip that is just not up to running, and a left hamstring that is tight as a drum. A year ago I would have easily pushed through the pain of the hip, maybe throw a stretch or two in for the hamstring, and forget...

The word diet is almost as bad as dropping the “F-Bomb” these days. The lastest terms are lifestyle, nutritional plan, eating strategy…but who are we fooling? Whatever you call it, isn’t it really a diet? The word diet ’s primary definition is “food and...

When I grew up I remember going on diet after diet trying to lose weight. That was back in the day (late 80’s to early 90’s) where you tried to eat as lowfat as possible, filling up on sugary, fat free food items, avoiding eggs like the plague, and Lord...
