Today I am sharing tips for packing healthy lunches on a budget that I recently shared on Panama City's News Channel 7 Today's Summer Shape Up. Children and adults who are away from home during the day will benefit from having nutritious lunches that don’t require a trip to a restaurant (or to the dreaded snack machine). It is critical to re-fuel your body during the daylight hours when you are most active. If you don’t have something on hand you might end up grabbing who-knows-what. Planning ahead and supplying your own healthy choices for lunch saves time, money, and is likely better … [Read more...]
Should You Even Try To Lose Weight?
Many people try so hard to lose weight. They’ll do just about anything-spend lots of money on weight loss products, go on diet after diet; and in the end feel defeated and desperate. Others are just sick of hearing the words, “weight loss”. Still others are just stuck, not knowing what to do. They keep putting off taking any action whatsoever. Weight loss can be a “weighty” topic. Many health care professionals don’t even address it. Should you even try to lose weight? What do you think? Believe it or not, some registered dietitian nutritionists (RDN) say no. Some say yes. Here are the … [Read more...]
The Best Diet to Lose Weight
With 2 of 3 Americans overweight or obese many people are seeking the “best” diet to lose weight. Usually they are searching for the best fad diet. They're the ones that get a lot of attention (and a whole lot of money). I am not a fan of these, for reasons you will see.

Can You Get Rid of Diabetes?
“Can I get rid of my diabetes?” There is an answer, and I'll explain. Here’s the lowdown: After being diagnosed with diabetes you can’t really get rid of it. There’s no cure. BUT a small percentage of people with Type 2 diabetes can return to having normal blood sugars, especially after metabolic/bariatric surgery or losing a lot of weight. Unfortunately, over time, the diabetes can “come back.” That’s why there’s not really a “cure.” Diabetes Remission is the new standardized term when blood sugars return to normal after diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes.

Salmon, Asparagus, and Orzo with Lemon-Dill Dressing Recipe
Last night Bob and I were eating what we believe is the best salmon recipe I've ever made. If you like salmon, I bet you will like it too. I've served it to company over and over (as long as they like salmon), and always with rave reviews. Here's what I love, (besides the flavor): It's not fussy, meaning you don't really need to measure the vegetables, or get the timing exact. The veggies can cool down some while you broil the salmon. I've also cooked the salmon in a skillet. You can serve the dish immediately after cooking, or wait a little and its just as scrumptious. It is … [Read more...]
