I’ll admit I’m a little behind on new diet fads. I just heard about a “new” one which has been around for about a year now. The book I Quit Sugar by Sarah Wilson (no link here due to selling of weight loss) debuted last year but appears to be finally gaining some real momentum […]
In the years before I learned about intuitive eating, I exercised at a gym two to three times a week, cardio and weights. I mostly dreaded it and it wasn’t at all fun, but it was something felt I had to do to keep my weight down. Living in San Francisco with no car, I […]

Either way, you’re wondering how you can eat healthier while still feeling relaxed around food. The answer: Intuitive Eating! Intuitive Eating is a book […]
So far I’ve talked about not dieting. You might be thinking, well, if diets don’t work, what should I do to be healthy? While there are many factors that affect health, many of them not entirely within our control, I like to focus on the factors we can influence, namely eating and exercise. The Health […]
I was at the movies just before Christmas, getting ready to watch the previews. I love previews! Now that they show commercials at the movies, I have to sit through those first. A familiar song started to play, “If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands,” a childhood oldie-but-goodie. Except in this version […]
