Playing a little catch-up here, the result of a presentation I debuted yesterday at Green Mountain. In it, I reviewed a few of the conclusions from a paper published last January (hence the title of this post) in the Nutrition Journal by Linda Bacon of HAES fame and Lucy Aphramor. It’s titled “Weight Science: Evaluating the Evidence for a Paradigm […] read more »

Healthy Cooking Thursday – Mustards that Make the Cut
I’m often asked by the ladies who visit our healthy weight loss spa what I have in my pantry at home. That’s a pretty multicultural spot, as I’m a fan of many different cuisines, but I try to keep to the basics without too many excessive specialty items. One place where I crave variety, however, is my mustards. The world […] read more »
Healthy Cooking Thursday – Goat Cheese Snacks
Glorious Chevre, I love you so. Goat cheese is an ingredient some people are frightened to try; maybe it's too "exotic" or they fear the "gamey" flavor expected from a product of a goat. I have converted dozens of people to chevre lovers, often by being sneaky about it and putting it on a nice cracker with something delicious atop it. I recommend you […] read more »
Healthy Cooking Thursday – Super Green Smoothie
Happy St. Patty’s Day! While this holiday has inspired drinkables such as green beer and, ahem, Shamrock Shakes, here at Green Mountain, I can’t think of any way better to celebrate than one of Robyn’s liquid salads.

In the U.S., 61.2% of women are “overweight” and 35.5% are “obese.” While weight is hardly the only indicator of health, those percentages are a bit staggering. Celebrate the women in […] read more »
Healthy Cooking Thursday – My Top Ten Healthy Kitchen Tools
It can be difficult to wade through the myriad kitchen supply stores in an attempt to build an arsenal of tools for your kitchen, especially when so much of the equipment out there is so specialized. Do you really need a quesadilla maker, a strawberry huller, or a garlic press? In my 15 years of cooking professionally, I’ve certainly never […] read more »

In honor of this being National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, today the focus is on women’s body image in the public eye.

It Happened This Week – Title X Funding, Aretha Franklin, and Simple Changes for Weight Loss
Many critics this week were decrying the effect proposed legislation might have on women’s health care. Several bills have been proposed recently that would decrease funding or even eradicate the Title X Family Planning program, which Nixon signed into law in 1970 to fund health clinics. One bill would stop all funding to any clinic which provides abortion services, despite […] read more »
Healthy Cooking Thursday – How Do I Make These Grains Delicious?
Recently, Robyn (as well as the US government) suggested reducing refined grains for numerous healthy reasons. But there's a reason that many folks avoid barley, quinoa, millet, amaranth, oats, brown rice, and all their whole grain buddies; many people find them hard to make delicious, aside from adding tons of fat and sodium to them. Here at Green Mountain at Fox […] read more »
