One of my clients asked me what I thought of the Lemon Juice Diet. "What's that?", I asked her. She explained that it was a diet she'd read about which suggested that people trying to lose weight eat nothing and drink a concoction of water, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and molasses. Right.

Read More ›That's an easy one- NOTHING! Unless you're in business or first, the pickings are pretty slim. My husband and I just flew back from my race in Orlando and if it weren't for the fact that we'd brought our own food, we'd not have had anything to eat for a good eight hours. Small […]
Read More ›I'm on a mission. I want to change the way America eats! I can't stand it! The number of people who are eating improperly is growing and growing and so are their waistlines! Don't get me wrong; I'm not being critical. Not of the individual people, that is! The 'Diet Industry'? Now, that's […]
