Do you know what foods best fuel you?
Let me clarify my question: do you know which foods best fuel your body? Not what Dr. Oz says. Or your nutritionist. Or your trainer/mother/lover/best friend. Many of us have relinquished the definition of their ideal diet to a bunch of experts. Whose mind keeps changing. And who often contradict each other! I think all […]
What do you wish you never did anymore?
I used to text while driving. Yes, I admit it. Not proud of it. Actually I still do it sometimes. I’m a bit addicted. I said I’m not proud. I’m trying a new technique. I’m telling it like I want it to be instead of how it is. Every time I notice myself checking a […]
Wanna know the third best weight loss secret in the universe?
Make every bite count. Actually, this may be the only weight loss secret you need. Seriously. I have to call it the third best, because I’ve already shared the first and second best, but this may eclipse them all. Make. Every. Bite. Count. Try it today. It’s impossible to overeat when you’re making every bite […]
What do you want to weigh in six months?
I love deciding what I want my future to look like. And then using the power of my mind to make it happen. The Grads and I have embraced a six month challenge. I turn 50 in February, and I am going to weigh 140lbs. This is my natural weight – where I feel completely at […]
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 can you use your creative mind to lose weight?
Here’s one brilliant way: Bev I thought about you after my run yesterday and wanted to tell you that your blog post about riding your bicycle when you were a little out of shape really inspired me to get my own mojo going. I’ve gained some weight too. At least five pounds and I […]
Why do I keep eating when I’m uncomfortably full?
We reach for more food when we’ve eaten so much that we feel physically uncomfortable. We think that more food is what we want. Does this sound familiar to you? It comes up a lot in my coaching practice, so I’m sharing my email exchange with Jen* here. Jen: I notice this week that when I […]
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 […]
Why can’t I stop thinking about my weight?
Many of my clients are highly successful professionally. They earn awards, promotions and coveted projects. They tell me that all they can think about as they receive their recognition is how fat they are. They also tell me that they think that everyone else is thinking about how fat they are. I know what they’re […]
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 […]
