Is Your Scale Lying to You?
Comments off
Ever step on the scale and have a hard time believing its accuracy? Now, I’m not talking about delusion or denial…but more about the fact that you honestly can’t pinpoint why the scale is reading a three pound increase in your weight. It happens…it happens to all of us, and it can be very confusing, […]

Is Coca Cola Like Sunscreen for Your Insides?
Comments off
For the record, it isn’t my mission to necessarily pick at Coca-Cola, even though this is my second blog entry about the product. That said, I can’t promise that it will be the last one either. Ok, now that we have gotten that out of the way, the title of this blog is actually a […]

Eating Crap…Feels Like Crap
Comments off
Ugh. I feel like crap right now. The reality is, I haven’t eaten anything that bad, but I had lunch from P.F. Chang’s and a handful of Cheez-Its. Lunch was relatively healthy, but there was a little fried chicken in one of the dishes, and let’s face it, Cheez-Its aren’t the best for you (Ingredients […]

Comments off
Stress caused from life changes have an amazing influence on whether or not we are able to keep our balance and health in check. Unfortunately, it isn’t always negative stress that does this. Happy occasions and good stress can reek havoc on your healthy regimen just as much.

Growing up, there was a clear distinction between my parents and what they craved. Dad was the obvious chocolate and sweet lover. Any reason to go to Friendly’s for ice cream sundaes was a happy occasion for him. On the other hand, Mom had huge hankerings for potato chips and when the craving was really […]

One Diet Doesn’t Fit All
Comments off
Let’s face it, none of us are the same. And when it comes to nutrition, what may work for your best friend may very well pack on ten extra pounds for you. Some of us need more protein than others. Some of us may need more grains. There really isn’t a universal prescription for a healthy […]

Can Keeping a Diary Help you Lose Weight?
Comments off
I hear a lot of people claim that they eat really healthy, but yet, they aren’t able to lose weight. Call me a skeptic, but I never really trust those statements. I’m not saying I think these people are lying, I’m just not sure that they are truly aware of how they are really eating. For one, many people […]

Good Fats are Still Fat
Comments off
The other day, a group of friends and I were chowing down at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Ole in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They make Guacamole - to die for - fresh at your table. One of my friends who felt she porked out on too much of it claimed, “Well, at least it is the good kind of fat!” […]

Why Losing Weight is so Hard and Gaining Weight is so Easy
Comments off
You just went away for the weekend and you came back to find that you gained 5 pounds over the course of 3 days. In your disbelief, you quickly curse the Weight Gods for being so cruel. Sound familiar? This was me last weekend. A little jaunt to Montreal, eating at decadent cafes, packed it […]
