Not a One Cookie girl–My Struggle with food

I’m not a 1-cookie girl.  I wish I was, but I’m not.  I eat when I’m stressed and I turn to food when I want to run away from my problems.  It’s hard to admit it.  You may believe me, but you might say it’s no big deal.  It’s easy to minimize when everyone has to eat and overeating is so wide-spread.  How can it be a problem when it’s so “normal”? If you are struggling with overeating or similar issue, know that there is a way out.  I am sharing my story to bring you hope that you are not alone and you canRead More →

You don’t need me to tell you that sugar isn’t good for you, but it’s nice to hear the numbers every now and then to jolt you back to reality and give you the motivation to decrease your sugar intake. How much is too much? First, how much added sugar are you currently eating? You may be surprised to find that the average American consumes about 13lbs of sugar PER MONTH in the form of soda, white sugar, high fructose corn syrup and other added sugars.1 Your body only NEEDS 2 teaspoons of blood sugar circulating in order to perform its necessary functions. It GETSRead More →

In our last post we talked about the importance of quality when it comes to meat and dairy products.  This post will focus more on dairy, because there is so much to say! I recently ran into a few experts who were recommending raw milk as a healthy food and a source of natural probiotics.  Let’s take a closer look. What is raw milk? Raw milk is milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized.  It is milk in it’s original form, taken from the cow and bottled.  Most dairy products that you find in the grocery store are pasteurized.  This means that they areRead More →

Step 5: Limit Meat and Dairy.  Focus on quality As I’ve immersed myself in the nutrition world, I’ve come to a few conclusions: If it is controversial, it’s probably best to eat in moderation. Quality really matters when it comes to ALL foods, but especially animal foods. Today we are focusing on meat and dairy–Two very controversial topics in nutrition. Let’s talk about meat There are many personal, religious, environmental and ethical reasons for choosing whether or not to eat meat, dairy and other animal projects.  If you do choose to eat meat, we recommend doing it in moderation and focusing on quality products.  ToRead More →

See this picture?  My kids ate this on spinach for lunch.  It took me less than 10 minutes to make which was fortunate because they were so hungry I thought they might start eating the furniture.  Salad, I love you! Salad is the poster child for boring healthy food but it doesn’t have to be.  If you are making salad at home, you can top it with just about anything!  I just love it.  To keep it different enough that my family is willing to eat it often, I do what I call a rotating salad bar.  I have this handy appetizer tray and IRead More →
