11 YEAR OLD EXPOSES MONSANTO
I love it when kids like this 11 year old gets socially involved and does things like expose Monsanto. Monsanto is a chemical company that now owns 90% of the U.S. soy market in the form of genetically modified soy. Actually, Monsanto is responsible for much of the food in U.S. grocery stores like corn, [...]
Cupcakes May Be Addictive, Just Like Cocaine
I’ve said for years that foods like cupcakes are as addictive as cocaine and there is now a growing body of scientific research to back up this statement. In his book Breaking the Food Seduction, Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) writes about the addictive qualities of foods and [...]
There’s No Debate ~ Hot Dogs Cause Cancer
PCRM says that there is no debate about it, hot dogs cause cancer. When I think of all the cold hot dog sandwiches (on white bread, of course) that I ate as a kid in my school lunches, it sends a chill down my spine. I’ll admit it, as I kid, I couldn’t have imagined [...]
Sugar Is Poison
Sugar is poison. So when I hear someone telling me that they are hooked on carbs, I’m thinking “if they only knew that they are hooked on sugar.” When I question the person who says, “I’m hooked on carbs,” never do I hear whole grains, vegetables or fruit. It is always cookies, muffins, potato chips, [...]
Dear Donut
The other day on HypnoThoughts I saw a blog post from Bill Kennedy titled Dear Donut. Of course that caught my attention and I had to check it out. Much to my delight was this letter that describes many of the stories that I have heard over the years from Slender For Life™ weight loss [...]
How To Find Real Food At The Supermarket
Finding real food at the supermarket once you are beyond the produce section can be challenging. I was excited this weekend when I came across Darya Pino’s website Summer Tomato and her great flowchart. In my Bainbridge Island weight loss and Seattle weight loss offices of Slender For Life™ we frequently discuss the definition of [...]
Here – Have Some Chicken McNuggets
Yep folks, this is what chicken McNuggets looks like. Want some? That pink goo is flesh and blood that has to be soaked in ammonia to kill the bacteria. Then, they dye it because nobody would buy this if they really know what it looks like. What’s even worse is that this fat and sodium [...]
Obesity and Processed Food
What does processed food have to do with obesity? I was asked at the gym this morning about what’s wrong with eating processed food – specifically frozen entrees. The person asking said they made a convenient lunch to eat at work. He also admitted that he will often throw one in the microwave for dinner, [...]
Brown Rice vs. White Rice: Which Is Better?
So do you eat brown rice or white rice? Most people know that brown rice is better for your health. I was an adult living on Maui when I really first started eating rice – of course that was white sticky rice and I weighed 260 pounds! Thanks to hypnosis for weight loss, the switch [...]
Hot Dogs Can Strike You Out
I have posted previously about processed meats like hot dogs and links to cancer and obesity (sorry – bad pun, I know). I almost lost it this weekend when I overheard a mom in the grocery store telling her friend that she sends a cold hot dog sandwich to school everyday with her 3rd grader [...]
Forks Over Knives
I’ve long been a fan of Dr. T. Colin Campbell so I can’t wait until Forks Over Knives is released. Colin Campbell is the author of the China Study and has extensively researched food as medicine. Over the years with Slender For Life™, I have had the opportunity to witness client’s health improve as a [...]
Processed Meat, Heart Disease and Diabetes
I love it when I hear back from weight loss hypnosis clients that they no longer have desires for processed meat. Heart disease, diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and many other diseases can often be prevented or reversed with a change in diet. Slender For Life™ Seattle weight loss clients learn self-hypnosis so that they can [...]
Fight Childhood Obesity – Get Rid of the Chicken Nuggets
I know that kids love chicken nuggets, but parents do you know that they are loaded fat and salt? Slender For Life™ parents have been asking me how do they work, get kids to and from school and after-school activities and quickly, easily and affordably feed their children healthy meals. Childhood obesity is preventable. Parents [...]
