Many people struggle with their weight, here are some misperceptions about obesity and losing weight. Recently I attended Your Weight Matters Conference. The speakers were obesity experts and full of great information presented in a way that was easy to listen to. Though there is strong scientific evidence that obesity is a disease. It appears that many have trouble accepting this fact, even in the medical community. Have you been told to lose weight then given no resources to help you do it? Have you lost weight but your health care provider didn’t notice and just told you to … [Read more...]
What are Macronutrients and Should You Be Counting Them?
Should you be counting Macronutrients? Three times in the past week I was asked if I teach people to count Macronutrients. I thought maybe you wondered too. (Or perhaps you’ve never heard of counting macros). Either way, here’s my 2 cents. “Macro” is short for Macronutrient. There are 3 macro (big) nutrients – protein, carbohydrate, and fat.

This entire dish is made on the stovetop with just 7 ingredients. Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of pork, low in saturated fat, but full of flavor with this sauce.

I like to serve Pork Tenderloin with Orange Marmalade Sauce with couscous or rice, and broccoli, sautéed spinach, or asparagus (or any non-starchy … [Read more...]
Is Keto-Friendly Good for People with Diabetes?
Here’s more on Keto-Friendly Foods and Keto-Friendly Food Labels for People with Diabetes. Are you wondering if a keto-friendly diet and those packages with labels that say “keto-friendly” are good for people with diabetes? A man I met was just diagnosed with diabetes. His neighbor said he should eat “keto-friendly” foods. He wondered if it was good advice. I was a little stumped. The first thought that jumped in to my head was “this is marketing”. The next thought was “What foods was he talking about?” I didn’t have enough information to answer. Tricky terms and claims on the … [Read more...]
