Another fabulous find food is something called Ricemellow Crème (also called Ricemellow Marshmallow Fluff). It is made of brown rice syrup, soy protein, natural gums and flavors. It comes in original flavor and strawberry (which also includes strawberries and strawberry juice concentrate in the ingredients). No sugar, no animal products (totally vegan if you are [...]

A few weeks ago, I started the Bill Phillips “Body for Life” exercise program. My existing routine was OK, but to make any progress it seemed like I needed to add more exercise (and therefore more time) to my schedule. Since my schedule is generally fairly full, this was not an acceptable option. What I [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I spent 35 years yo-yo dieting. Some years I worked hard at the popular diet-of-the-day; some years I gave up and just let the weight pile on. There are a lot of diets out there – for people who want to lose weight fast or lose just a few pounds or [...]

Ten years ago, you had to go to a health food store to find organic produce and health-oriented food products. Now you can find health food sections in most major grocery stores, [...]

I am headed out to a 5-day training designed to help me find more ways to help people. For me that means finding more ways to get the information about food sensitivities and weight loss out to more people. And then finding more ways to support people as they move forward with using this method [...]

Recently I’ve had some setbacks in my life – things not going well, or at least not according to my hopes and plans. Instead of focusing on the positive aspects of my life, I let these setbacks get me down. And when I’m feeling low, it is harder for me to pay attention to my [...]
