    Maintaining Healthy Eating Habits: 5 Things You Must Do

    July 19, 2021

    Healthy eating isn’t about fad diets and short-term goals. It should focus on sustainable eating habits that encourage a positive relationship with food. Building a strategy with this goal in mind will be integral to finding a way to make nutrition work for you. Small steps can make a big impact, but only when you maintain a level of consistency and discipline. Here are five focal points that can lead you to greatness.   #1. Prepare Your Own Treats There is nothing wrong with incorporating treats into your nutrition plan.

    Kickstarting MY Weight Loss Plan

    September 19, 2018

    Over the last 15 years or so, I have been gaining weight slowly, but steadily.  I have heard the cliche,    “oh falling in love makes you gain weight…”                “marriage makes you fat..” That is BS…I just got lazy and complacent and I need to get up and do something about it. Do you remember Richard Simmons famous quote, “I never say ‘d-i-e-t’ because the first three letters spell DIE!”  Oh my gosh, I love that!  I never really have tried a full-fledged diet plan before. My mom was on Nutri-System for about a year and she lost nearly 100 lbs, but it was very…

    Reducing Carbs Better Than Exercise

    July 27, 2017

    Visited my internal medicine doctor last week, for my six month check-up.  Because I have high blood pressure, I like to keep it monitored. I was actually looking forward to the visit because it would be the first time I weighed, since staring my new power walking regime. Unfortunately, I GAINED 3 pounds!  I was devastated! My doctor assured me, walking the 2.6 miles at least 3 times a week was great, but perhaps I had boosted my appetite with my new routine. He said eating carbohydrates would trump any exercise I had endured.  Time for a CARBOHYDRATE CUT BACK. What are carbohydrates? Any food containing refined sugars, starches, fibers…

    Brain Fitness Starts In the Kitchen

    July 29, 2016

    We have all been told by doctors, scientist and researchers, the key to healthily living is diet and exercise.  But recent research suggests exercise, not necessarily intensive exercise and eliminating processed foods can increase your life by 7 years!
