I’m an idealist. This can be a good thing and an absolute curse (totally inflicted upon me, by myself.) And they always say you learn more about yourself while teaching, it couldn’t be more true. Most everyone in my classes will, at the end of my spiel, look at me and ask “How do you cut [...]

There are times I feel like there is nothing left to say on the topic of eating better, that hasn’t already been said. I’m aware there is nothing new under the sun. Of course I realize most of you aren’t health-foodie book worms like myself and probably don’t spend your time at Books A [...]

Recently a good friend from college e-mailed me that he’s made some drastic changes in his diet, lost 30 lbs. and I couldn’t be more proud of him! I’ll be bugging him for more info on his new lifestyle to share with you all, but first I want to share with you the video that [...]

Shocker, I know. Not all sushi is healthy. But similar to my coffee, I manage to have a way of ordering sushi. The weekend is getting closer and more than likely that means … sushi! It’s not every day I go out to eat (because A – it’s expensive and B – I just like [...]

But in light of the [...]

But snacking can be one of the best ways to whittle down in size and maintain a healthy weight. Granted, I’m not talking about grabbing a handfuls of tortilla chips every time you walk [...]

When you leave Starbucks, to find the $4 triple Americano you waited 15 minutes for only has 3 shots, life isn’t fair. When a boyfriend, you paid more for on gas and meals than you wish to recall, doesn’t offer to help when your tire blows only 10 minutes from his house, life isn’t fair. When a [...]

This year I’ve drastically cut down on coffee. After spending the better part of last year in New York City, nearly drowing in excellent coffee, my addiction had grown somewhat beyond something to be proud of. For a time there I was drinking 2 or 3 strong cups of coffee a day, which seemed necessary at the time, [...]

The other night, after an unavoidable, packed full weekend, I found myself late at night in front of the tv with a bowlful of cereal. Kashi Go Lean Crunch to be exact. It was a raid through a sad empty kitchen that ended with a late night bowl of cereal. Something I can’t remember doing [...]

“I was just thinking how weird it is that we eat birds…” Just one of many thought-provoking lines from the deeply and ever compelling 30 Rock. I did, in fact, have that thought before. I used to think eating animals in general was unhealthy before breaking my vegetarian state of living. And you want to know how I broke [...]
