      • Why Do I Crave Sugar?
        02/25/08
        "I know I shouldn't be eating sugary foods but I just can't stop myself," complained a friend as we both helped ourselves to some chocolate-chip mini-meringues. "I tell myself that if I had more will power I would be happy with an apple but every afternoon I stalk the kitche

      • It's not exercise, it's life
        02/22/08
        I bumped into a friend in the supermarket parking lot whom I had not seen for several weeks. She looked marvelous and I told her so. "Think so?" she said. "It's my new trainer. I have been working out at least twice a day. "Now I was really mystified. My friend, let's c

      • Those Pesky Leftovers and Your Diet
        02/16/08

        When I was in college, every week we ate two dishes charmingly named "garbage soup and garbage salad." Every freshman was told that the composition of these dishes depended on what foods were left over during the preceding weeks' lunches and dinners and that there were absolutel

      • You, "First", and Sharing with Others
        02/11/08
        The February 25th issue of "First" for women magazine has helped us spread the word about the power of carbs, and serotonin, to help you lose weight and feel good about yourself. Out this past week, Judy and our book are featured in the cover story. We hope more and more people, as a res

      • Sugar Coating Valentine's Day
        02/10/08
        Valentine's Day has taken over the candy aisles of my local drug store chain. Wandering through the aisles, I saw pink M&M's and marshmallow hearts and heart-shaped Snickers in pink wrappers. There were also shelves of heart-shaped boxes of sugar candies that said "I love you"

      • Can a Diet increase your stress?
        02/08/08
        When stress comes into our lives, as it seems to do too often, many of us start eating. We may not search out available snacks immediately; after all, if your washing machine is overflowing or you learn you are going to be audited by the IRS, you may first want to call your plumber or accountant. B

      • The food is awful and the portions are too small
        02/07/08
        A few days ago, my husband and I went to an event preceded by a catered meal. The food was pretty bad: lumpy overcooked rice, soggy vegetables floating in a sea of oil, and a pan of pale chicken wings and drumsticks. Even the dessert - stale tasteless cookies - was inedible.

      • Getting high on exercise
        02/06/08
        There is a belief that exercise will produce a natural high by releasing endorphins. Endorphins, produced in the brain, make you feel euphoric, excited, and extremely good. However, ask a hundred people who exercise on a regular basis whether they experience this endorphin "high" and you
