Here’s my recipe for an authentic Seafood Gumbo, without meat, and not fattening.  You’ll swear you’re in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, but this won’t make you fat!  Have it anytime, and during Lent, too, as it contains no meat.  If you want a different gumbo (and there are many varieties) you can add sausages,…

I’ve always said that you don’t have to work out at the gym all day in order to control your weight. All you need is a minimum of 30 minutes a day filled with consistent, moderate movement or activity. And it doesn’t have to be hard. Consistency is the key. 60 minutes is the ultimate…

As a Christian, I’m aware of the wonderful idea and reality that God is inside me, and inside you.  Of the infinite treasures to be found in both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, records of the teachings of God among us – one of the most beautiful gifts that God has given us…

As nighttime eating is a difficult problem for me and many of our readers, I have some suggestions.  A lot of experts say just “don’t eat at night,” or “never eat after 8pm,” but a lot of folks just have to have something.  One approach is to have low-calorie and low-fat items, if you cannot…

As we begin another week in this marvelous life, I want to reassure you that you are OK, and that things are going to be OK. You may be beginning a new workweek, with lots of stress and worries.  Know that God is right here with you, every step of the way.  Just think of…

Sugar and sugar addiction is a big topic with me, and I know it is with a lot of our readers, too, going by the number of comments and page views we’ve received. Of course, the amounts of food I overate when 400 pounds was a contributing factor to my obesity, as was the types…

Have you ever been to an anonymous support group meeting? They can be really interesting and valuable and you meet people you can relate to, because they’re having similar experiences with being overweight.  You can also discover cool groups at churches, synagogues, temples, community centers, hospitals, through your local newspaper listings, or United Way or…

As I wrote the other day, I had lunch at a fast foot restaurant, you know, the one starting with the letter “M”! I was in a hurry and was also craving a delicious, meaty sandwich after weeks of low-carb dieting. Thank God I was given the grace of restraint and only had one sandwich,…
