Eating Great & Losing Weight Can Be Simple & Delicious

Have you ever wondered why some people are able to lose weight and keep it off easily and effortlessly while others seem to spend their whole lives trying?

Why can one person feel great eating a high protein diet, while someone else thrives as a vegetarian?

We are all different. With eating, as with life, one size does not fit all. You must find what works best for you.

After years of  ”dieting” and wading through volumes of conflicting nutritional information to determine the “correct way to eat” I have learned that the best approach to sustainable weight loss and healthy eating for me is one of simplicity and common sense – reduce highly processed foods, increase fruits and vegetables, enjoy simple home-cooked meals made with fresh, seasonal ingredients that taste great and allow yourself to indulge in the things you love - like chocolate.

My Approach to Eating

You need to create a simple healthy lifestyle that is realistic and sustainable. It is about learning to work with your body to give it what it needs and make changes in a gradual way so feeling better and losing weight seem effortless. You want to work with your body, not against it.

You want to focus on eating healthy delicious real food most of the time and savoring the occasional indulgence because nobody is perfect.

Slow and steady may not be glamorous or sexy but it is such a relief to have settled into a life of moderation. For more on My Journey.

Beyond Eating

There is more to a balanced healthy diet and vibrant life, than what you eat. Where you eat, how you eat, and with whom you eat are important too; as are exercise, rest, and nourishing self care. All the broccoli and whole grains in the world can’t make up for unhealthy relationships, unfulfilling work, or lack of connection, which are as critical to a nourished life as the air you breathe.

It’s Simple but Not Always Easy

To live your best life you must make your health and happiness a priority, which can be really hard for most women who have been taught to take care of everyone and everything else before taking time for themselves. As an overachieving pleaser, I know how hard it can be to set healthy boundaries and ask for what I need and want. But it’s necessary and it benefits you and everyone around you.
