5 Daily Habits to Lose Weight and Feel Your Best!

Some people still don’t understand the vital importance of building lifelong good health habits that contribute to weight loss. Whether we lose weight through bariatric surgery, a supervised weight loss program, weight loss drugs, etc, those are temporary solutions rather than lifelong habits to lose weight. Consider that if we had built habits to lose […]

You don’t need me to tell you that we’re in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Each year, the figures get worse. And the pain of it is, our diets aren’t the only cause for the problem.

How Drinking More Water Helps You Lose Weight

Water is good for you. It’s not just the stuff of the rain that breaks a summer heat or the stuff we swim in while at the beach. Water is much more critical than either of those things — although either can be pretty important on any given day. Water is essential to health and […]

Best Grain-free Thanksgiving Breakfasts

Grains, starchy vegetables, sugar, and artificial sweeteners are not part of my bariatric diet! But they sure are central to a traditional Thanksgiving menu. So for many years I missed out on pumpkin pie, rolls, and tea breads. But nowadays I serve a sumptuous grain-free Thanksgiving. That’s because I learned about nut flours! Wonderful baked goods can be […]

Weight loss success begins with believing. If you have a self-defeating attitude, reframing your thoughts might be the injection you need to turn things around.
