I was invited to speak to a group today and one of the questions that came up was about snacking too often. First ask yourself am I really hungry? If you just had dinner and you’re not, then chances are you are trying to soothe an emotional need with food. Keeping a journal of what emotions you’re feeling when you are reaching for the snack can show you a pattern… and then overtime you can find a better ways to handle the emotional need that does not involve food. What kind of things can you do to help soothe yourself instead of reaching for a snack?

Your nervous system needs steady nourishment too! Eggs and fish provide protein and important nutrients such as choline, which supports normal brain and nervous-system function. Which of these foods do you already enjoy regularly?

Holiday weekend for most of us! What do you have planned? Are you going to be moving your body?

Sometimes my clients will tell me I was so hungry all day Tuesday! When I asked them what they had for dinner on Monday night, they say oh just a Caesar salad. No protein at lunch or dinner will guarantee that you will be hungry all day long the next day.
