“Since you exercise, you can eat anything you want.” I hear this often. Do you really think that’s true? Getting your workout done brings that high that makes you think you can do anything! (But it sometimes leads you to THINK you can eat anything, too). One stop by Starbucks on the way home or to the office […]
Life to the “full”
Puffer vest + lying-leggings + holiday yummies = FULL! But, um, I don’t think this is the kind of “full” referred to here: Without a plan setting us up for success, and accountability (and the right clothing too :), a week-of-wonder can set us up for an extra challenging resolution the following week. Check out this […]
Enjoyment AND excuses
I was at a Sports Nutrition conference earlier this month taking in the wisdom of Nancy Clark, the most well-known of Sports-Nutritionists (pictured here). She said, “I keep food and exercise separate: the E of exercise is for ‘enjoyment’.” I’ve been pondering that since. With all the activity trackers out there (think fitbit), so many are […]
Comfort cookies at Christmastime!
If I could blindfold you and give you a taste of one of these comfort-food cookies, I think I know what would come to mind. Girl.Scout.Cookies: they taste like Samoas, but fresher and lighter! Now that I’m a cookbook author (as of this year), I feel like I have to be extra on-my-game when bringing something […]
Going Gluten Free? Consider this first!
Though there is much interest in going gluten free, most people aren’t really sure what benefits to expect if they do make this drastic change in their diets. Initially, the gluten free diet was prescribed for those with celiac disease, a serious autoimmune disease that results in small intestine damage when gluten-containing foods are consumed. […]
Lose big or win big
Recently on a flight, I sat by a middle-aged woman with a dreamy smile on her face. She was traveling alone — heading somewhere exciting, I imagined. I was reading nutrition literature like I always do when I fly to conventions to present. The article I was studying caught her eye and she told me […]
Love-Lessons from Mom
When asked, “What have you learned in the kitchen from Mommy?” my kids respond: “Don’t forget to have protein at breakfast.” (12 y.o. Thomas) “To ask ‘How can I help?’ before being excused.” (9 y.o. Austin) “Is it ‘ice-cream day’ today, Mommy?” (6 y.o. Elita) Take a moment this Mother’s Day to ask your family what they’ve […]
Green beer vs. Green smoothies
Hmmm…that’s a tough one, right? I won’t take your time trying to convince you the nutritional value of veggies + fruit is superior to that of dye + alcohol. I think you know which is best for you this St. Patty’s Day, so let’s skip straight to some recipes so you can get your green on! Check out these […]
Less is more? Or is it just less?
“It’s not fair, my gym-buddy gets to eat twice as much as I do, and I never see her struggle with her weight!” “How does my husband lose 5 pounds in one week while I work out more and barely lose a pound in the same week!?!” I hear these sentiments often and certainly understand that […]
Love, Running and Chocolate
Interesting trio, right? What do these 3 have to do with one another, on Valentine’s Day especially? Love is like a good run: I went for a run in our hilly neighborhood with my 9 year old this week (he was on his bike) and at about the 2 mile point, he’d had enough and […]
