Day One of the Whole 30 Diet Food For Thought

Day One of the Whole 30 Diet

I was recently telling my husband about a client I saw who had just completed the “Whole 30” diet. He was intrigued. Did they lose weight? What did they have to do? Were they hungry ALL THE TIME?? I explained to him the general rules: no dairy, no added sugar, no grains, no legumes, no alcohol, nothing processed, etc. (for…

UGH….Get Real Food For Thought

UGH….Get Real

I generally am pretty neutral when a client comes to me with a specific diet that they are interested in trying. Why? Because different people respond well to different styles of eating and I'm not here to judge, I'm here to help. You want to be a vegan? Great, let's figure it out. Want to go gluten-free? Delightful, let's make…
