Can you feast without gaining weight?
Absolutely. I plan to do just that for the next few weeks. For us Jews, we’re moving into our busiest season. Lots of holidays. Which means lots of food. Family. Friends. Sitting around lots of food for long, festive, communal meals. If you’re not Jewish, stay with me. This wisdom will apply to any food-related […]
How do you get what you want?
There are lots of ways to get what you want. One way is to give it to yourself. Then you get exactly what you wanted. No mistakes. I tried another way this Mother’s Day. I asked. Really specifically. I even sent him the link to the exact supplier I love. And guess what, Mother’s Day […]
Sugar? Stevia? Splenda? Agave? Sucanat?
I have fallen madly in love. Seven times last week. My new group. Every woman. Love them to death. So honoured that they are open to hope. So awed that they are trusting me to guide them to a different way. We had a fascinating conversation in my front hallway on Sunday. We’d just finished […]
How do I know when I’m no longer hungry?
A cornerstone of my approach to permanent, deprivation-free weight loss is inviting clients to stop eating when they’re no longer hungry. Of course, we all know we should do this, but it’s really hard for many of us. Most of us truly don’t know what physical hunger feels like. Two reasons: 1. we’ve lost touch […]
Can you be fat and amazing?

Can you be sad and amazing?
I recently discovered that I can be sad and amazing. This was new for me. I have always focused so much on food as my medicator, that I never realized that I have a few more. I dug some up during my week at Onsite‘s Living Centred Program. For the first time, I wasn’t focused […]
What’s your type of treat?
I turned 49 today. Thanks to all of you for your birthday hugs. I truly felt them.| Here’s my heavenly day: Morning snuggles and cuddles in bed with various sized family members. Drooling over my new MacBook Air. Moksha yoga. Lunch with one of my oldest and most loved friends, Christine – Salads, dips, and […]
How do you become a regular exerciser?
This may surprise you: It’s all in the language you use. Your wording influences how you feel. I spent the last two summers in Miami. The first week, I started swimming forty laps each day while my kids were playing. I called it my “Daily Forty”, and soon my kids were joining me (I like […]
Why are you bingeing every Sunday?
Sue wrote to me after reading my latka blog: “Terrific blog Bev and I know exactly what you mean. I was always starting a diet on Monday so Sunday was that last chance for me to eat that piece of cake or cookie or whatever. Then one time I was pregnant. I didn’t have to […]
What will change if you never eat this food, ever again?
Deb emailed me about my latka blog. She asked what to do about that special seasonal food you can’t get all year long. For her, it’s Snickers Nutcrackers. For me, it’s anything sprinkled with crushed candy canes. (have you tasted Pepperidge Farm’s Geneva cookies? Crushed candy canes instead of crushed nuts! Discovered them yesterday – […]
