Here is what I would say to her, or to anyone who is struggling with the “aftermath” of a personal “crash” . . .
Well at least you sound “realistic” … which is a GOOD thing!!!
Be aware of what/who “sucks your energy” in a day, and be sure to limit THAT interaction as […]
In case you want a little help in trying to break away from flours and sugars, it might help to know that there IS a brand of “100% flourless” bread and cereal if you would like to give it a try.
The brand is called Ezekiel (bread or cereal), and it even comes in a […]
This person was struggling. I heard it in her emailed “voice” immediately:
Sandy,
I wish I could report better news.
The crash did me in. Not completely, I guess, but pretty badly. Lasted the rest of the week. I tried to eat well, but we all know that eating well takes preparation and preparation is […]

I got some great questions from my teleseminar last night, so here are a few of them … with my thoughts:
====================================================
Diet soda, diet jello and other diet products are processed. Does that mean they have no place in helping to lose weight?
Unfortunately, they do NOT help your body to lose weight very well. They are […]
There really are some rather simple things you can do to “kick-start” your progress in weight loss.
Eat at least a few bites of raw vegetables every day. Their ‘negative’ calories do wonders for your body. But it really is MORE than just the negative calories. These raw nutrients seem to speak to your body in […]
The most important message you want to communicate to your body in order to achieve weight loss is the message of “abundance.” And this happens in many ways. Your body will almost die trying to hold on to its fat stores if it thinks there is a LACK of abundance, in the hopes of helping […]
