I’m a firm believer in not relying on willpower to lose weight. In fact, I despise willpower, and I don’t have much (any) of it myself. I do think it’s important to strategize and be motivated and determined, but nobody should go hungry or feel restricted… As a result, I have spent significant time learning …

Yesterday, I feasted on kale chips (yes, the entire batch), and today I ate a truckload of coconut cream pudding. I should call it fruit dip, but I didn’t dip anything — I just ate it with a spoon, half at lunch and half at dinner. It was not a couple days of great variety …

I meant to make kale chips last Monday, so I could take some to a client on Tuesday morning (she’s doing an elimination diet—which she affectionately calls the No Diet… Can you eat this? No.). However, I ran out of time, and the kale stayed in my fridge until today. The great thing about kale …

For the content and support for this post’s title, I’d like to encourage you to read this infographic (really, please read it—when you click on it, it will open in a new window). My reaction to the infographic: …

One thing I get asked about often is regarding drink ideas. People will say they really don’t enjoy drinking plain water (unless they’re really thirsty or hot), but they don’t know what else to drink. This also comes up when we’re talking about how to stop drinking soft drinks (soda, pop…whatever you call it in …
Tonight I’m going to a party—with my friends (girls only), and we do this same party every year with a different theme. This year…Lace (like I mentioned in my last post, it’s not like nightgown lace, but rather more like Madonna lace). I’m not sure if there will be pics, and even if so, I’m …

Last night when I went to bed…I was starving (not really, but I had myself convinced I was). I ran out of ideas for things to eat (based on what was in my kitchen and my elimination diet rules), and I really was not in the mood for more veggies. My calorie intake yesterday was …
It’s no secret that I’m boycotting sugar. I have been semi-against it for a few years, but have essentially eliminated it since August. It concerns me that almost every client I work with wants to lose weight, and when we examine their food diaries, their carb intakes are through the roof. I’m not proclaiming any …
I was really lucky tonight…I went to see Matthew after school at my Dad’s house, and found out he was staying for dinner…so I got 3.5 hours with him instead of 1. We did homework, and then made a drag racer out of tinker toys. Then we played Connect 4 (the new version—but we used …
I forgot to update the Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies post after Mom and Fred tasted them. The final verdict—everyone liked them. We all (Mom, Fred, Joe, and I) thought they would be better with fewer chocolate chips (I dumped the whole bag in and it only called for 3/4 cup. I did it because …
