I was recently out at a restaurant (I know, right???  It was outdoors...) and came across a couple who were ordering drinks.  The man ordered a protein water and the woman said, "No protein for me, he's the one who lifts weights, not me.  I'll have a Coke."   I...

We know that there is so much confusion out there about what kind of “diet” is the best….but if you have followed us for a while, you know that our approach is the “anti-diet.”  In fact, we call ourselves “Diet Disruptors” and believe it's our mission to tell people...

The longer I do this work, the more and more empowered and frustrated I get.   I’m empowered because I KNOW that the answer to long term weight loss, health and energy lies in fueling your bodies instead of depriving them. It works 100% of the time when clients...

I talk a lot about how diets don’t work...well, scratch that. They DO work, at first, but will always fail you in the long term.   WHY?  Because when we deprive our body of nutrients, which is the definition of a diet, your body will, as a result, eventually start to...

If you have been following me for any amount of time, you know that protein is kind of my jam.  That, along with fats and carbs, that is. CLICK HERE to read more about the approach we call “PFC Every 3” that will rock your whole dang world.   A key component of...

Spoiler Alert!!!!!  The answer is no.   While fasting has been around since the time of Jesus, (my all-time favorite person, btw), it’s only recently become a trend in the “dieting” world. Just like all diets, if you are looking to lose weight, only to gain it...

Let’s face it … the word “detox” is overused in the health and wellness space.  Same with “cleanse.” And to be honest, so much out there is plain ‘ole spammy.   But the need to detox our body is a real thing! Yeah yeah, our liver is designed to naturally detox, but...

I love to go out to eat.  And I do it probably more than I should.   But not because of “health” or “nutrition” reasons...it’s more of a budget thing for us.  When we looked at how much we spent last year on “dining out” it was shocking. Like, THAT COULD KEEP OUR...

I don't use any of those apps to track my food intake…it's too time consuming and not necessary in your weight loss goals! You can lose weight without tracking your food all day!

When I ask my clients what their #1 Nutritional Challenge is, “sugar addition” or “sugar cravings” account for more than 90% of the responses. Why is that?  Is it because we just lack the will power to say no to sugar when it is in front of us? Is it because in this...

We keep hearing how we need to avoid carbs because they derail our progress on the scale, in the gym and for our overall health.  With “Keto” being all the rage, I see people post on social media their high protein, high fat diets with little to no carbs and I want to scream into the screen….”Don't you know, Carbs are GREAT for you?!?!”

The Keto Craze- I love following trends. When it comes to fashion. But when it comes to “diets” nothing frustrates me more (well, maybe except when my teenager talks back!) But we KNOW what works and we have enough long term evidence to understand that any of these...

Using FOOD as FUEL- If you didn’t read my blog entry about why diets will work for the short term, but how it actually messes with your body's overall health and as a result, will never work for the long term, (Remember Oprah when she fit into her skinny jeans?) click...
