Whether you are looking for a healthy holiday gift for someone else – or creating your own “wish list”, here’s a list of some of my favorite healthy & fun holiday gifts. The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn Professional athlete-turned-firefighter Rip Esselstyn created this diet for his fellow Engine 2 firefighters in Austin, TX, who were in dire physical condition with dangerously high cholesterol levels.

read moreMy Favorite Weight Loss Treat
Let me be clear. My actual favorite treats are anything with chocolate, baked goods from Paris & vodka cocktails on weekends. And I do indulge in all of them when appropriate. And let me also be clear on the fact that I hate yogurt. I mean like really hate & despise it. Frozen yogurt, flavored yogurt and especially fat-free yogurt. I think it tastes gross & reminds me of dieting. But Full Fat Greek Yogurt? It’s a whole different thing y’all. And it’s DELICIOUS! I discovered it this summer when my Personal...
read moreDon’t Let Thanksgiving Make You Fat
Thanksgiving is the ultimate food holiday. And there is nothing wrong with that – it’s definitely one of my favorite days of the year! It truly is one day dedicated to food, family and fun.

However, there is a price to pay on...
read moreWhy Diets Don’t Work
I recently read that 95% of dieters regain the weight they lost on traditional diets within one to five years. I am not surprised given what I have seen in my years in the weight loss industry. And I think it is such a shame & so unnecessary. Here are the Top 5 Reasons Why Diets Don’t Work 1. Diets encourage a temporary solution to weight loss. Most diets are based on a strict eating plan based on calories – not YOUR life. So it’s not realistic to expect you can stay on that long term. The only permanent solution to...
read more10 Tricks to Not Over-Treat on Halloween
Halloween unofficially marks the beginning of the holiday feasting season. And if you want to lose weight, the scariest part of Halloween is not ghosts and goblins but the ever-abundant Halloween candy. Any way you cut it, candy is full of sugar & empty calories. Which is a shame since it tastes so darn good! And to make it worse, during Halloween they are packaged in cute-little fun-sized wrappings that delude us in thinking they can’t do much damage. And one or two won’t. But it’s when we go into the 3, 5, 10, 20 zone...

read moreHow to Stop Emotional Overeating
Emotional Eating…I’ve been there! Let’s face it, there’s comfort in food. However, the two reasons emotional eating leads to weight gain is because (1) we typically choose non-healthy foods to feed our emotions (did you ever really want to go for an apple to comfort you?) & (2) we tend to overeat these foods in the moment. However, we can start to control these urges to emotionally eat so you can lose weight & keep it off successfully. Emotional eating and overeating can’t really satisfy an insatiable appetite...
