Posted on July 22, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Health Tips, Healthy Foods ChoicesI recently found this new product line at Costco.

Is food your friend?
Posted on March 25, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss, Healthy Foods ChoicesA healthy relationship with food is like a strong relationship with a friend. In a “healthy” friend relationship we can relax, be ourselves and enjoy each other’s company. But we also have clear boundaries, protecting our well-being and knowing when enough is enough.

Is it time for a better plan?
Posted on February 27, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight LossOften diets encourage us to go to the edge – the edge of eating too little and feeling hungry and deprived all the time OR the edge of pushing ourselves in an exercise program that focuses on “no pain/no gain”, leaving us sore, depleted and time crunched.
