      • Ladies: Could your Libido Help You Lose Weight?
        10/31/07
        Women often enjoy a life full of so many components: deep family ties, involved friendships, romantic love, rich motherhood experiences, professional satisfaction, fulfilling hobbies, nurturing self care, and a meaningful spiritual connection to their world. But with all of these elements, it'

      • Hungry on the Diet?
        10/30/07
        Every once in a while, a new client tells us that she is hungry on our diet. And our response is always: eat more. There is absolutely no reason to suffer on a diet. When our female clients feel hungry, it is usually because they need more calories than the 1400 offered by the women’s food plan. S

      • Halloween Candy: Scary Eating or Serious Fun?
        10/29/07
        OK, I have to admit I bought M&M's Halloween candy back when it first appeared on the drugstore and supermarket shelves (probably September some time - it all seems to be available earlier and earlier each year and in greater and greater abundance). M&M's are still my favorite can

      • Antidepressants: Can They Prevent Weight Loss?
        10/24/07
        A new client, let’s call her Melinda, came to see us recently. She was totally discouraged about losing weight while she was on antidepressants.

      • SAD, Serotonin, and Carbohydrates
        10/18/07

        As the hours of sunlight shrink these weeks of mid fall, our good mood seems to shrink as well. The cheerfulness, energy, patience and enthusiasm that may have characterized us in the spring and summer seem to be replaced by grumpiness, impatience and irritability. As the sun goes down, fatigu

      • Food for Mood: Judy's new weekly program on AM 1020 WHDD

        We get our health and weight loss information from so many sources these days. Why not radio? Here's another radio resource: Judy has a new weekly radio program called Food for Mood Monday mornings at 9am on AM 1020 WHDD in Connecticut. You can listen to a recent podcast (click on "Food

      • Vending Machine Dieting
        10/16/07
        Is it now possible to eat out of a vending machine and lose weight. Apparently Kraft Foods thinks so. On Diet-blog.com Jim Foster writes:

        "Kraft Foods is rolling out a vending machine stocked with South Beach Diet branded food.

        "Apparently the machines are already i

      • Does Fall Make You Fall Off a Diet?
        10/14/07
        One of the less pleasant aspects of the change in seasons is the decreasing hours of sunlight. Sunrise is noticeably later these days and seems to disappear by late afternoon. As the Northern Hemisphere moves into November, the combination of standard time and proximity of the shortest day of the ye

      • Low Carb? Seriously?
        10/12/07
        If you are participating in our community forum you may have seen these posts written by someone who learned that carbs make her feel good and believes that avoiding them made her feel worse. She wrote, in separate posts:

        "Lowcarbing over the last few years has definitely made me fe

      • A Stroll in New York City
        10/09/07
        We (judy and her husband) were in New York city for a couple of days that overlapped the opening of the U.N. As a consequence streets were blocked off, traffic continually halted for yet another siren blasting motorcade, and rows of long black cars triple parked in front of every mid-town hotel and

      • Zyprexa and Weight Gain Side Effect

        10/05/07
        Check out this blog on a great blog site called www.blogs.families.com. The author, Lisa Pietsch, writes:

        "Do you crave starchy foods all day? Are you hungry all the time? Is your diet failing because you just can't stop eating?

        "It could be that you simply aren

      • How Much Time Do You Have?
        10/01/07
        The beginning of fall plunges many of us into an extra layer of obligations and commitments. Lurking not terribly far away is the joy/burden of the holidays. Between now and then, committee meetings, courses, after-school programs, lectures, concerts, and raking leaves erodes what little free time y
