Vegetarian Starter Kit Free Download
In the last few days several clients have asked about the Vegetarian Starter Kit and were excited to learn about the free download. Even though I wrote a post last year about the Vegetarian Starter Kit I decided that it would be worthwhile to post again with the link so that you can download it [...]
Teens Don’t Eat Enough Fruits and Veggies
Are your teens eating enough fruits and veggies? Fruit, vegetables and whole grains are essential to the mental and physical development of your children. One way you can encourage your kids of any age to eat healthy is to only buy healthy food for meals and snacks and to set a good example by eating [...]
Vegetarian Diet May Prevent Diverticular Disease
It should be no surprise that a vegetarian and vegan diet may prevent diverticular disease. The health benefits of eliminating dairy and animal fats and proteins is not new science, in fact, the health benefits of a vegan diet have been known for centuries. There are cultures around the world living on vegetables, whole grains [...]
Plant-Strong Halloween
So how about a plant-strong Halloween? It is the beginning of sugar season, a dangerous time for children and adults. It is especially a dangerous time for people who are overweight or who are dealing with other health issues. Most of that Halloween candy is nothing more than artificially flavored sugar filled with chemicals and [...]
Children Who Are Vegan Have Lower BMI
A new study shows that children who are vegan have a lower BMI. IMAGINE THAT!!!! I am sure that I should be excited about another study that supports the teachings of John McDougall MD, Neal Barnard MD and countless others, but knowing that we have been saying this at Slender For Life™ since 1990 makes [...]
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 [...]

Eating Healthy Costs More ~ Or Does It?
Does healthy eating cost more? I sure don’t think so. And, what I hear time and again from Slender For Life™ hypnosis weight loss clients is that they are saving money on their grocery bills by eating healthy. So, this U-DUB study makes no sense to me. When you stop buying meat and dairy, when [...]
T. Colin Campbell – Forks Over Knives
Forks Over Knives tells the story of how Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional scientist at Cornell University, was concerned in the late 1960′s with producing “high quality” animal protein to bring to the poor and malnourished areas of the third world. While in the Philippines, he made a life-changing discovery: the country’s wealthier children, [...]
Your Teeth and Your Health ~ Dr. John McDougall
Dr. John McDougall tells us about the importance of eating a starch based diet for your teeth and for your health. What you eat affects you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. (The Bible tells us that the body is the temple of God). When you eat the typical American diet of fats and processed foods, [...]
Potatoes ~ Still the Perfect Food
YES, potatoes are still the perfect food. And, I am sure that you have heard that you shouldn’t eat potatoes for weight loss or if you have diabetes. All large populations of trim healthy people throughout verifiable human history, have obtained the bulk of their calories from STARCH. Thank goodness for people like Dr. John [...]
Early Man NOT a Hunter-Gatherer – John McDougall MD
Dr. John McDougall says that early man was not a hunter-gather. Rather, he was a gather-hunter. Man was primarily a vegetarian who, as his tools improved, got “lucky” from time to time and could eat animals for very brief moments, before the animal rotted and would produce illness if eaten. What that means is that [...]
