Some people call diabetes, sugar – as in, “I have a touch of sugar” or “I lost my leg to the sugar.” I think the reference to sugar is easier to process than the more formal term—diabetes. Either way, diabetes, or “the sugar,” is heavily entwined in weight management. Although I have always struggled with […]
The lesson on eating breakfast was a great reinforcement for me on my contention — en“grained” in me from an early age — that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I don’t think in my entire 66+ years of life, I have missed breakfast more than maybe 10 times. And when I […]

Most Americans do not eat the recommended amounts of fruit and vegetables and one reason for this is because of the belief that fruits and vegetables are more […]
I am not sure if anyone else is a morning person, but if someone described me, they would definitely describe me as an “early bird.” Even though I try to sleep in on the weekends, and by sleeping in I mean 8:30am or so, I try to pack my day with memorable activities and if […]
I absolutely love the Eat Smart Move More Weigh Less program, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I truly believe that it has saved my life, and given me more quality time with my children. In January this year, a doctor warned me that I had to lose weight. The look on […]
