I Like Vegetables
Do you like vegetables or are you one of those who hates them? I am sometimes surprised at the conviction that some folks have in their hatred of vegetables. I’ll admit that growing up I wasn’t much of a vegetable eater. Those mushy things in the can just didn’t do much for me. When I [...]
Weight Loss ~ What You’re Up Against
Do you really know what you are up against when it comes to weight loss? The odds are stacked against you. But, the good news is that with hypnosis for weight loss, you can be successful. The following is from my book, Becoming Slender For Life. What You’re Up Against Americans are among the fattest [...]
Reversed Diabetes by Eating Potatoes
This is not the first person that I have heard of that reversed diabetes by eating potatoes. There are so many misconceptions about potatoes. There is much more to nutritionally packed potatoes than just calories. They have 2.5 grams of dietary fiber per potato. That translates into 50 grams for an active man and 37 [...]
Diabetes and Weight Loss: Finding the Right Path
Having diabetes is one of the many reasons for weight loss and it can be challenging finding the right path to safely lose weight. If you’ve got diabetes, losing weight can get you off insulin and other medications. But before you start a diabetes weight loss plan, it’s important to work closely with your doctor [...]
Dr. John McDougall and Dairy
I frequently refer people to Dr. John McDougall to learn what he has to say about milk and other dairy products. This week has been no different. I have had new and prospective clients ask questions about milk, calcium and strong bones. And, I have had clients who have been dairy free for only a [...]
Neal Barnard MD, President of Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
I have been along time supporter of Neal Barnard, MD and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. In fact, prior to publishing my book, Becoming Slender For Life, Dr. Neal Barnard’s book, Breaking the Food Seduction was part of the introductory kit at Slender For Life™. I have studied nutrition for the past 16 years [...]
Potatoes Out of School Lunches? What Are They Thinking?!
I heard yesterday on NPR that there is a proposal to get potatoes out of school lunches. What are they thinking?! Of course, it way past time to get the french fries and other forms of fatty fried potatoes like Tater Tots away from our kids, but baked potatoes and other starches like corn, peas [...]
One Word Can Save Your Life: No!
For years I have said that saying “no” to your doctor can save your life. I think that John McDougall, MD , is right on with this one. To this day I still get shocked when I hear clients tell me about the visits to their MD from a simple cold to an ache or [...]
Nathaniel Dominy PhD. and the True Human Diet
I found this interview with Nathaniel Dominy, PhD. about the true human diet to be totally fascinating. The human being is a “starchivore” according to anthropologist, Nathaniel Dominy, PhD. Starch-filled roots, tubers, and seeds are the reason for the success of human primates and this stored energy source accounts for our extraordinary brains. Nathaniel Dominy [...]
Pros and Cons of Going Vegan
I was thrilled when I heard that Jean Enersen of KING 5 was talking about the pros and cons of going vegan on HealthLink. I admit, I also had a bit of trepidation about what cons they might conjure up. Thankfully, I never heard any cons. My Seattle based Slender For Life™ weight loss program [...]
Talking to Your Preschooler About Weight
Just as its never too early to teach your preschooler self-hypnosis, it’s never to early to talk to your children about weight and healthy habits. Childhood obesity for the most part is preventable. When kids are given McDonald’s, Kraft Mac N’ Cheese and other processed foods, candy and sodas, they are going to gain weight. [...]
Eating Your Way to Heart Health ~ Sanjay Gupta
Dr. Sanjay Gupta discovers that you can eat your way to heart health. Dr. Gupta also supports what I have been saying for years: your genes do not preordain you to heart disease. It is much about lifestyle. Dr. Sanjay Gupta interviews Bill Clinton, Caldwell Esseltyn, and T. Collin Campbell. My book Becoming Slender For [...]
