A question from a reader: What do you do if small portions don’t fill you up? I recommend eating six small meals throughout the day: one serving (USDA Food Guide Pyramid size) of grains, protein (meat or dairy), and a fruit or vegetable. This means eating every 3-4 hours. When you do that, you’re rarely…

Each week, at the end of the week, I try to feature weight loss comments from our readers that I think are right on-track.  These tips are sound advice from people who are in the process of being healthy.  I hold these high for you to see, and for all of us to learn from.…

What do I think of “The Biggest Loser” TV series?  I think it’s terrible and cruel, and merely entertainment, not a program that overweight people should do.  In its 8 seasons on the air, I have always found it to be the absolute wrong way to go about losing weight. Why do I think and…

Today is my birthday (Sept. 30) and here’s a brand-new video recipe for a very low-fat, low calorie yogurt fruit snack.  It was a lot of fun to make, and I hope it’s helpful to you. Just to recap (in case you can’t see the video on your screen). — 1 cup Greek yogurt (no-fat,…

Why do you think they call it “junk food?” Because it’s garbage! I think it should only be called junk. Leave off the “food.” (Because it isn’t.) Sodas are made of sugar water and chemical flavorings. I like to call them “liquid candy.” Many chips are actually ground-up processing remnants (skins, trim, rejected bits) fried…

A great way to understand what’s going on in your life, in your habits and actions, thoughts and needs, is to write about it. Keep a journal or diary. Write what you’re thinking and doing. Talk on paper about what and how much you are eating, and what you’re doing to move your body and…

There’s nothing like a spiritual community where you can feel instantly understood and appreciated for what you believe in and experience. You’ll hear other people’s experiences, too, which often helps you to deepen your own. There are religious, church based groups, and there are spiritual, non-denominational groups, and there are gatherings of people who just…
