It’s true that you’ve got to be consistent to be healthy and fit. You’ve got to exercise regularly and eat well regularly, too. That sometimes means finding a “middle road” that you don’t have trouble staying on. Years ago, I dieted super strictly. But I could never stay on the diet for long. Monday through [...]

I’ve been reading The Baby Boomer Diet by Donna Gates and came to something I really enjoyed and wanted to talk about and expand upon. It’s the idea of food memories. At midlife, you have decades of food memories already. Most likely, some of them do not involve the healthiest fare. It takes a while, [...]

Yesterday I had a cheeseburger. From that place with the golden arches. Hardly newsworthy. Except it was probably the second fast food burger I’ve had in the last 10-15 years. I was starving, driving home from my boyfriend’s on the New York State Thruway. I had an hour to go before I’d get home and [...]

The day was perfect for it—although the winding, one-lane roads were clogged leaving the orchards in New York State. No [...]

  Healthy food looks beautiful!   I’ve always been an avid reader of diet programs. Whether from online trainers who offer shape-up programs, online sites, books or magazines. It’s an odd obsession, I admit, probably springing from my long-gone days of looking for “the diet to end all diets.” Most of the diets I read [...]

Dark chocolate is one of those things that makes life lovely. Especially if you are on an eating plan to lose a few “el bees,” spiff up, get fitter or healthier.  A delicious piece of dark chocolate can bring joy. It feels just a little decadent, which is what you want on a fat loss diet, right?  So [...]
