I can’t let this week go by without commenting on the absolutely gorgeous weather we’re having in Vermont. Temperatures ranging in the high 60s, low 70s, sunny, clear skies, the snow is melting, the streams are running. It’s just beautiful. Spring has truly brought with it all that it’s famous for — warm weather, feeling alive, wanting to clear out […] read more »
After the little town our healthy weight loss spa resides in was hit hard by the flood waters of Irene, we lost our one and only grocery store. As a result, our town grocery store has been operating out of a tent for the last four months. As of today it will close completely for 10 days in order to move back into a building. Now, I […] read more »

I’m a fan of recipe modification and all about sneaking vegetables and legumes into anything I can think of. Sadly sometimes my attempt at making something healthy fails big-time. Exhibit A: tonight’s attempt at zucchini & black bean brownies. These may sound nasty, but I know I can get this right….eventually. Until then, I’ll stick to Green Mountain’s famous Chocolate Zucchini […] read more »
Actually, we say to ignore all diet rules. But Spry Living asked me to pick out 10 that rank at the top of the list. Here’s what I came up with. Ask the average person to describe healthy eating, and it’s likely they’ll mention advice they learned from diets. Diet rules have become so ingrained in our thinking, we may […] read more »
How many diet plans or diet tools have we stumbled on over the years and thought, “maybe THIS could be the thing that works for me?” It’s normal to be hopeful when, having been let down by all other weight loss options, something new comes along. If we haven’t tried it, we are excited about the prospects of trying something different. […] read more »
No I’m not talking about someone stealing your lunch out of the break-room fridge, I’m talking about eating amnesia, which can certainly thwart our weight loss goals. While they do make plastic bags that give the appearance of moldy food to deter someone from snagging your sandwich, I’m unaware of a product that will help us avoid forgetting that we ate something.

Recently I’ve been working on a series of lunch-salad recipes for busy nurses who need to pack their lunch for work. These are being posted on the website Scrubs: A Nurses Guide to Good Living. Although all of you out there are not nurses, I’m sure most people could benefit from having some new lunch ideas. So, I decided to […] read more »
I asked my husband, “what should I blog about today.” He said “blog about GMO’s.” This made me so proud, since when I met him I’m pretty sure he didn’t know anything about genetic modification, now it’s the first thing that pops into his head. GMO’s are a big subject, but it got me thinking about how the organic standards address […] read more »
In class yesterday, one of our participants was wondering if eating five or six mini meals is better for her metabolism than eating three major meals. At Green Mountain we work with three main meals, but also give people the opportunity to add snacks throughout the day as needed because everyone is different in terms of their nutrition needs. However […] read more »
