Weight Loss Groundhog Day

A Recent ConversationHere's part of a conversation that I had recently with a woman (SR) who had just fallen off the weight-loss merry-go-round for the millionth time - or thereabouts.

Holiday Damage Control

Fat season. That's what we call it around my office. It starts on Halloween, and it usually runs straight through January.

15 Reasons Why You’re not Losing Weight

A Good Story When it comes to marketing and selling products, the food companies have never let the facts get in the way of a good story. A lot of the information we find on the front of food packaging is not so much information, as it is a somewhat misleading and deceptive sales pitch.For example, the reduced-fat peanut butter we find on our supermarket shelves has less fat when we… Continue reading

How to Defend Your Coffee Habit

I don't think I've read a productivity blog yet that didn't suggest kicking the coffee habit. I've kicked many bad habits in the last few years, something that seemed impossibly hard at first—such as dumping dairy—but coffee is one thing that I never succeeded with. That's probably because I never really wanted to.While it truly is best that you cut caffeine out of your diet or curtail your consumption… Continue reading
