Weight- a number that can invoke so many emotions from its curves and sharp endings. “Ouch, wow, oh my…” But weight is more than a number. At the beginning of each weight clinic introduction I explain the importance of tracking progress to my patients. To track progress means we must document where we initiate a…

With the start of a new school year and the end of summer sun, it only seemed appropriate to talk about sleep. Are you getting enough? Do you get excited to pull the covers over your head and get your full 8 hours? Or are you like most of the population, and not getting enough…
Any time someone tells me they are starting a diet or working on weight loss, my first question tends to be "What are you eating?" What can seem a simple question can take a hard turn when we do not know what is in our food choices. Nutrition facts or food labels were…
We talk about protein as the magical macronutrient

Today’s recipe, created by our friends at Robard and to be…
I am in love. If you are not familiar with an Instant Pot or the magic it possesses PLEASE keep reading. I have had my world changed with cooking in this little piece of heaven. I say this overall dramatic statement for two reasons. 1. Complete meal ready in 40 minutes. 2. You can do…
My best memories in college where walking in from the rain to find a large pot of soup on the stove and warm bread in the oven. Having five roommates, soup was a stable because of its affordability and dense flavor. You could feed the whole house with 1 chicken, a few stocks of celery,…
Hey Everybody,
Meatballs have always been a favorite in my house growing up. They were usually covered in sauce and sitting boldly on top of a pile of freshly plated pasta. I am here to tell you that meatballs are still on the table, even when following a low fat, low calorie diet.
Today, we are bringing…
