Should You Count Calories?

Counting calories has gone by the wayside. No one liked doing it so every diet marketer tried to find ways to eliminate counting calories. You will see when a diet is advertised that a highlight is “no counting calories.” The reason you do not have to count the calories is because someone already did that for you. While, you may find that an added feature you will pay for it. You can add so why not simply add the calories? Counting calories has been disguised by point systems, prepared meals, and rigid diets. Dieters follow these points and plans precisely … Continue reading →

Today I’m Cheating

Today I am cheating. I am taking a little more wiggle room than Jell-O would allow yet I am cheating the system more so than on my diet. Today, I am going to have my cake and eat it too.

I long to sit on my porch and drink pumpkin spiced coffee and eat a pumpkin muffin. All October I am all about pumpkin spice. So far this year the only … Continue reading →

No matter what your favorite drink from Starbucks happens to be, it always tastes a little bit better when it is free. My current favorite happens to be the iced chai tea, with soy, and I tend to switch of between getting the tall size, or getting the grande … Continue reading →

Does your dog eat better than you?

How do you treat your body? Do you use it like a BMW or an old junker? Do you respond to your body’s needs or ignore the needs because you have other priorities? Is your body a temple or a dumping ground? I’m not sure these are questions we often consider. Do we think of that when we work through lunch or drink soda when thirsty instead of water? I recently saw a commercial for dog food. The commercial showed loving pet owners explain how they choose this brand of dog food because of the superior nutrition as compared to … Continue reading →

Is your favorite coffee drink making you fat?

I have been a Starbucks fan for many years. Just seeing the Starbucks logo gets me giddy and ready for a white chocolate mocha on ice. Starbucks is even fun to say! Did you know it was named after a character in Moby Dick? Yes, I love Starbucks and will continue to be a faithful customer. However, the part of me that is concerned for my weight will have to give up some of the fun coffees they serve. So, no need to give up your Starbucks but you do need to be aware of just how much fat and … Continue reading →
