Resist the Grease! Healthier Subsitutes for Fried Chicken

September 3rd, 2010 at 12:11pm Under healthy eating

So all year long I do a pretty darn good job at resisting fried chicken, the deliciously greasy, artery clogging fried chicken. Until Labor Day.
So every year my family has a big family reunion type picnic on Labor Day and food can be found in abundance. One thing most often found is fried chicken. All [...]

Emotional Eating Isn’t Something We Get Over – It Is Something We Learn to Get Through

September 2nd, 2010 at 10:33am Under healthy eating

I am an emotional eater – the difference is simply that I know that about myself. Growing up, I learned to use food to cope with feelings and stress. Now, the BIG difference in my life is how I relate to the part of me that runs to the cupboard when I am [...]

Dark Chocolate: Good Food or Bad Food?

August 27th, 2010 at 09:50am Under healthy eating

Yes, dark chocolate is full of cancer-fighting antioxidants, but just because you decide to chow down on a dark chocolate bar doesn’t necessarily mean you’re making a good diet decision. Consider this: A Hershey’s Special Dark bar has 21 grams of sugar and a serving of Dove Dark Chocolate Miniatures has 13 grams of [...]

Give Up Binging AND Give Up Dieting

August 26th, 2010 at 09:23am Under healthy eating

I was a life long dieter which fits with being a life long binger – because dieting and binging are two sides of the same coin. I didn’t recognize that the same compulsion that drove my unhealthy eating was driving my desire to diet. If you are overweight (or even underweight) because you [...]

Guest Post: Picnics and Fruit Salad

August 24th, 2010 at 07:55am Under healthy eating

Becoming a More Conscious Compulsive Eater

August 19th, 2010 at 10:56am Under healthy eating

As a lifelong “binger” I don’t believe the inclination to binge ever really “goes away” – HOWEVER, for me, my desire to binge is an indication of something else (a need, or feeling that ought to be addressed). My relationship with food has changed – I have myriad practices that honor my intention (which [...]

School Lunches: Good Food or Bad Food?

August 18th, 2010 at 10:21am Under healthy eating

As the school year approaches, you may want to reconsider what your child is eating for lunch. If your child will be eating at the school cafeteria, consider this: Just 9 Tater Tots have 7 grams of fat, and canned peaches have over 30 grams of sugar. Yikes!

Don’t Trust Your Feelings

August 12th, 2010 at 10:18am Under healthy eating

We have all been told to “trust our feelings”, but for many of us this advice is not entirely wise. The reason is because growing up our feelings were misunderstood and misinterpreted and we never developed a healthy emotional sense of ourselves. In childhood, many of us were taught to judge our feelings [...]

Pizza: Good Food or Bad Food?

August 6th, 2010 at 10:48am Under Healthy Recipes

Hopefully, most people know that a slice of pizza is far from the healthiest food item around. But did you know that one slice of Meat Lover’s pizza at Pizza Hut has over 1200 grams of sodium and a slice of pepperoni pizza at Papa John’s has 16 grams of fat. Holy cow!
But pizza can [...]
