Having been on the Weight Watchers program, I always had a lingering thought there was something amiss about their business model.

Cholesterol, Busting the Myth
Not long ago I was at breakfast with a group of friends when one gentleman made a statement to me that left me confounded at his lack of nutritional knowledge. Although it really should not have since our own government has put out information that has since changed without word being passed to the rest…
Remake Your Meals for Weight Loss
Meals and Decisions I have often heard people complain that they have tried and tried to lose weight, but it just doesn’t work for them. Quite often these words are spoken between sips of a sweet “coffee” drink topped with whipped cream. Whenever I ask if they have any idea how many grams of sugar…

Seeds That Satisfy!
Crunchy Goodness! Seeds provide amazing nutrition with a nutty crunch, and they are easier to work into my caloric total for the day than nuts. It’s very easy to overeat pecans, walnuts, almonds or cashews but it’s more challenging to eat too many seeds. Pepitas, pumpkin seeds, are the only seeds that I have to…
Instant Gratification Versus Deprivation
Two good reasons you cannot lose weight are instant gratification and deprivation. Often is the case that people who are prone to need instant gratification with food fail their diets simply because they deprive themselves. Food deprivation is not the best course of action to take when trying to lose weight. In fact, it is…
