To the dismay of many purchasers and users of fitness trackers like Fitbit and other popular brands such as your iPhone, having this very cool, high-tech capability does not in and of itself help you get fit. They don’t even help you lose weight. In fact, they may lull you into a sense that youRead More
There is no perfect weight. Let’s get that off the table right now. But each of us has a weight that is more better (intended bad grammar), even more perfect than other weights we’ve been. Some make us look less fit, less attractive, less able to wear a particular style of clothing, or less healthy.Read More
Many of you know that dieting is a fool’s errand for many of us. We can go for a period of time, usually short enough that it can fit between major holidays or events, and monitor and regulate our diets and even our activities if the goal is deemed worthy….despite the healthiness of that goalRead More
This is a great article with sound advice on how to help your kids – and maybe you – cut the sugar habit. Some good facts, good pointers but one really solid, absolutely essential bit of advice at the end which stings: change YOUR own behaviors. Let’s face it- kids do learn from us soRead More

How is it possible for one food item – in particular, nut oils – to virtually do what so many drugs portend to do? How can nuts do so much for so little without so much as a side effect other than, oh, say, a little more healthfulness without pharmaceuticals. It would be great ifRead More
Everyone kind of knows that getting started and keeping going with an exercise, or diet, program is the hardest part. Even though I encourage all newcomers to just start small – like 10 mins/day of walking – or changing one part of one’s daily diet – like cutting back on soft drinks by either eliminatingRead More
It happens every year around this time, as people wallow and wail about their having fallen off the wagon of fitness, diet, and even health: The infamous if not ridiculously self-abnegating New Year’s Resolution to do better this next year. It does not have to be this way, of course, and we all know it.Read More
