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. She had started a new exercise program and eating regime on New Year's day this year. As she does every year. (I'm CH below).CH: "So how's your eating going?"

Healthy Habit Changes for 2009

Trying to make 2009 your healthiest year to date? I've compiled for you what I believe to be some of the best health conscience habits you can easily adopt. Habit 1: Drink more water. Sure, I know about all the news reports that say it's possible to drink too much water.

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

Don’t Always Believe the Science

Science has given us some amazing inventions over the centuries.
