Yesterday, we reposted an article about women who make peace with eating and food by Lisa Claudia Briggs. In Lisa’s practice, she sees two eating styles that women take on when they get to a better place with food and their bodies: those who treasure simplicity and practicality, and those who evolve into so-called foodies. Today we are discussing the […] read more »
Happy Halloween! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love being scared, I love dressing up, and I love spooky decorations. One things I’m not 100% excited about is the candy. If you are like me, you may have purchased candy well before the-day-of Halloween and having it the house, as a novel food, may have triggered some pre-Halloween snacking. […] read more »

And got plenty of physical activity and sleep over the weekend. But it was a weekend of rich food and wine that, while I enjoyed it at the […] read more »
After several weeks of eating very well as part of our new Food as Medicine program at Green Mountain — lots of great-tasting veggies and other good-for-me stuff — last weekend I enjoyed a meal that got me thinking.

The “secret first step” to mindful eating? Self Acceptance, says Dr. Susan Albers on the Huffington Post. “The goal of self-acceptance is to learn how to say, ‘I […] read more »
Memorial Day is upon us. After a long winter, the sun is shining and it’s barbecue season again! I did a quick Google search for “Memorial Day” and “food” or “diet” and got back a bunch of hits about sticking to your diet on holidays. We’ve got our own advice (and since we’re anti-diet, I don’t think it will come […] read more »
