I heard something today that really struck me. What I heard was, “Thank your body for supporting you.” It struck me because we spend so much time being critical of our bodies.
What if we treated our children that way - never being satisfied and criticizing them all the time? Chances are the child would not grow […]
Do you find that you crave ice? Somehow that crunching justs seems to be exactly what you need? If so, you may be suffering from Pica which is associated with iron deficiency. After gastric bypass surgery, we are prone to iron deficiency because iron is absorbed in the first part of the small intestines which […]
With the fast pace of our lives, there are many times when we don’t plan as well as we should and are left with little choice but fast food. If you find yourself in this situation, please refer to the Stop N Go Fast Food Nutrition Guide so that you can make healthy choices. I have […]
I love eating in restaurants, but you have to be very careful about what you are eating. It is well established that fat improves the flavor of food, and chefs are notorious for loading recipes with fat. Before going to a restaurant, check for nutritional information on their website. Nutritional information is becoming more and more available as […]

There are a lot of websites that will tell you the nutritional value of fast food. But when you have that information, you are at home or at your office in front of your computer. More often than not, when you go to a fast food restaurant, you are on the fly and in a […]
Are you a user of artificial sweetener? Most of us who have had weight loss surgery are. Dumping syndrome has made many of us unable to eat sugar, so artificial sweetener has been our answer.
However a new study by Purdue University has shown that artificial sweetener may be the cause of our obesity. Over a […]
Not all weight loss surgery patients experience dumping syndrome and for those that don’t, chocolate can be a very strong temptation to lead us off track with healthy eating. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought I might talk a little bit about that sometimes irresistible treat!
Chocolate has been around for about 3,000 years […]
