Do you avoid soy because you’ve heard it’s associated with breast cancer?
And what if you’re a man…isn’t soy like estrogen? Meaning you shouldn’t eat it?
Should you limit soy?
If so, how much is too much?
And what kind of soy is better than others?
When shopping for cheese, milk, and yogurt, which is better for you?
Full-fat dairy?
Or low-fat or non-fat dairy?
These are questions I get from my clients, who often feel totally overwhelmed with making the “best” choices when they’re at the grocery store.
If you haven’t read my article, “Is Dairy Healthy? And Should You Switch to a Plant-Based Milk?” then read that first and then come back here. It will give you a thorough understanding of the science behind why you should (or shoudn’t?) be consuming dairy…
But once you decide to have milk, cheese, and yogurt, which type do you choose?
Fat-free? Skim?
1%? 2%?
4 %? Whole milk?
And why?
Let’s take a look at what the research is currently showing so that you can make the best decision for you 😊
I also remember eating SnackWell’s Fat-Free Devil’s Food Cookies after dinner with my Dad.
And my parents limiting the amount of bacon we had each week…
Why?
Because fat was the enemy.
And saturated fat was Public Enemy #1.
So what’s the deal?
Is fat, and more specifically saturated fat, bad for you?
Or is it good for you?
I thought we’d uncover what the latest research is showing, in hopes to get a clear answer on if we’re choosing to eat fat (or not) based on current science.
Should you go keto?
And if you’re already keto, what does the science say about how healthy it is for you?
Will you be able to keep the weight off?
And what if you’ve hit a weight loss plateau? Then what?
This article covers exactly what you need to know about keto, if it’s for you…and if you should consider coming off of it.
“Bread is the enemy…and carbs make you fat!”
Have you ever thought the same thing?
Are you limiting bread (or pasta or rice or other grains) because you fear they’ll make you gain weight?
You’re not alone.
But is bread *really* the enemy?
Do carbs *actually* make you fat?
As a vegetarian or plant-based eater, you might struggle or feel overwhelmed with how to get enough protein.
You may have even gotten questions from your non-vegetarian friends and family:
“But how are you getting protein?!”
The good news is:
It’s easier than you think 😉
Diets don’t work. In fact, you should never diet again. In this article, I share with you the 6 key reasons you’re struggling with weight loss and why diets don’t work. Then I’ll share the one simple strategy you NEED that will get you to your leanest livable weight (and will help you stay there)!
You’ve seen the rise of plant-based “milks” over the past couple of years.
From coffee shops serving oat milk lattes to grocery stores carrying endless options of almond milk and soy milk…plant-based milk is everywhere!
But is it better for you than dairy?
Is dairy healthy for you?
Should you switch out the cream in your coffee to oat milk?
Or switch out the cow’s milk in your cereal to almond milk?
Do you ever wonder if you’re getting enough protein?
Your fitness app says you need 150 grams of protein, your trainer says you need at least 50 grams of protein per meal, and other countries say you need only 50 grams per day…
How confusing!
Thanks to the bodybuilding community at large, there’s been an increase in pressure to eat enough protein to put on lean muscle.
But are those recommendations too high?
And what if you’re a vegetarian or vegan? You might be finding it hard to reach those high protein recommendations.
Last week was emotional.
My eyes were opened to the hurt, pain, discomfort, and grief that people have been feeling in this country for too long.
I was ignorant of the systemic racism that is rooted so deeply in our nation.
And I was scared, nervous, confused to say anything.
I kept thinking:
…What should I say? I don’t want to say the wrong thing! Maybe I should be quiet…
Every week, I send out an email newsletter about tips, strategies, and healthy eating ideas to help people feel their best.
To help people strengthen their bodies as the physical vessels of their minds and spirits.
So when I thought about crafting the week’s newsletter, I kept thinking:
…Do people really want or need to hear from me about the Black Lives Matter movement?
What could I possibly say that would add value, as a total beginner to anti-racism?…
I decided to commit myself to deep inner work to listen, learn, and educate myself.
And in the process of learning, I reconnected to my mission and values.
My personal mission and values are 100% intertwined with my professional mission and values.
I thought it was important that you know what I stand for.
What I’ve always stood for.
What I will continue to stand for.
And as I learn and grow, my mission and values will not change.
But my understanding of the world I live in will change and deepen.
So I decided to send my weekly newsletter last week.
But it wasn’t about healthy eating or habit building.
This is what I shared:
What if you found out that most yogurt has more sugar than a package of Oreos?
More than 2 Reese’s cups.
More than a Snickers bar.
More than a chocolate glazed donut.
Would that surprise you?
Hi there!

But have you ever done a Google search for “easy meal prep”?
Holy moly, the results are endless and overwhelming, and I get MAJOR decision paralysis.
You know, when there’s way too many options and you don’t know where to start or what to choose...so you don’t?
And when you’re spending your precious time looking up healthy recipes and easy meal prep…
• How do you know what’s good?

Healthy eating and meal prep can be quick and easy.
But not if you have to spend your time:
• Searching for recipes on your own
• Planning your week of meals
• Shopping for all of the ingredients
• Trying to make recipes that require you to spend 3-4 hours prepping for a full week of meals
• Trying to figure out on your own how to make “easy meal prep” and healthy eating easy, week in and week out
No matter how busy you are, you still want to be able to eat healthy.
You want more energy.
You want to feel amazing in your body.
You want to feel confident in your skin.

You want to show up as your best self for quality time with your spouse and children.
So how do you accomplish all of that with such a hectic schedule?

To me, balance has FIVE distinct meanings, and these meanings can help you enjoy a sustainable way of eating that is realistic, doable, and leads to lasting results.
