Why are we so focused on "the cure"?
It’s commendable how people have banded together to find “the cure”. I doubt there is anyone reading this who hasn’t somehow contributed to the fight to cure breast cancer or some other horrible disease. But I find myself wondering why…

If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you’re there? When working with coaching clients, I always ask them to set a goal for their sessions. It’s important for both of us to know what to focus on;…

10 Diet Tips to a Healthier You, Tip 8
Avoid Eating Out – eating out is tricky business, sometimes you can
think you are picking healthy options, and yet they are full of calories
and fat. Just the other day I was at a restaurant and thinking of ordering
the vegetarian pad thai – until I found out the chicken fingers and fries had
less calories because the pad thai had 1900 calories even though it was
noodles,…

10 Diet Tips to a Healthier You, Tip 7
Check the Portion Sizing – many people get confused with portion sizing

10 Diet Tips to a Healthier You, Tip 6:

little meals. If you try to starve yourself all morning by avoiding
breakfast then you are actually more likely to gain weight from the food

10 Diet Tips to a Healthier You, Tip 4:
Food + TV = NO – When you eat and watch television it is easy to over eat
because you aren’t really paying attention to your food. You can often sit down with a bowl of snacks and before you know it you have eaten the whole thing. Distractions are not good while eating, and it is best for you to be aware of what you are eating. That doesn't mean you need to intently focus on your food, but…
