Finding a Reason to Smile Again

I had lost my inner peace and happiness, a reason to smile so-to-speak. I don’t mean that I walked around never cracking a smile. Obviously there were good days and social situations in which I chatted away and laughed along. By losing a reason to smile, I mean losing confidence in life and in myself. […]

Surviving Holiday Gatherings after Weight Loss

The holidays are upon us!  And surviving holiday gatherings as a bariatric surgery patient can be incredibly challenging.  Food is everywhere and, of course, most of it is unhealthy.  Navigating all of the parties, family functions, and office goodies can feel overwhelming.  Most people tend to worry about weight gain this time of year, and […]

In 2018, keto was the most googled diet, and two of Amazon’s top 10 best-sellers in nutrition happen to be keto-focused. The Keto diet also is trending on social media and continues to get endorsement from celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and the Kardashians.

Eat This to Boost Your Metabolism and Burn Calories

Eating foods found on a low-carb Mediterranean diet can boost your metabolism and aid weight loss. That’s because a higher metabolism burns more calories. And that makes it easier to get rid of unwanted body fat. Low calorie intake can hit the brakes on weight loss.  The body can go into “starvation mode” if we […]

Hello again!  Last month we discussed what to expect in your bariatric presurgical psychological evaluation. In the next couple of articles, we’re going to talk about what these evaluations are really looking for and why.  Today we’re focusing on depression before bariatric surgery.

Too Much Sitting Causes Obesity — What to Do About It!

It seems a common-sense deduction that too much sitting causes obesity. But now we have reliable science to that back-up. Science also shows that too much sitting increases the risks for metabolic syndrome (aka belly fat) and diabetes type 2.  Both metabolic syndrome and diabetes type 2 are obesity-related illnesses. So it is obvious that […]

Find Obesity Help: Where to Begin Today

Living with obesity is a difficult experience. And finding obesity help is a world-wide need. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers anyone with a BMI over 30 to be obese and a BMI over 40 to be severely obese. That’s about 13% of the world’s total population according to WHO. Consequently, it’s important that we […]

When I thought about writing an article on the purpose of the bariatric surgery psychological evaluation, I realized that I won’t be able to give you many “hard facts” about these evaluations.  Unfortunately, there are no strict guidelines in the field of bariatric surgery on how to conduct these assessments.  This lack of guidelines leads […]

Using Tech for Good Health and Weight Loss

Do You Use Tech for Good Health or Bad Habits? If you think modern society is generally unhealthy, then you’re probably correct. Studies show that we’re much less healthy today than we were in times past. Our ancestors used their bodies much more than we do — they’d run, hunt, and essentially use all muscles […]

A powder room was redone with a swirling red-and-white wallpaper to mirror the pops of red throughout the rest of the house and filled with burnished brass and gilded furniture topped with classical white objects d'arte in bright whites for a subtle contrast. See fine-jewelry designer Elizabeth Locke's full home tour in "A Stunning Estate with Southern Grace and Italian Romance" over on our Style Guide!Warm orange and creamy white bathroom with white countertop. Gorgeous.I like to use the color Red to warm up a room. Red Parrot from Benjamin Moore was perfect for this master bath in an urban townhouse. I particularly liked the contrast with the cool Calacutta marble and the white Empire soaking tub from Waterworks.  Red Parrot is a particular favorite of mine because the claret undertone softens what can be percieved as a strong color.
