    How to Look Beautiful (it’s not what you think)

    Posted on August 20, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Skin Health

    The cosmetic industry is huge! Women spend hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of dollars yearly trying to look younger and more beautiful. Famous skin care lines, such as Estee Lauder and Loreal, compete with ‘botox’ and other physical treatments for your hard earned money. Do they work? Sometimes but often the effect is temporary and you […]

    Pasta that’s good for you!

    Posted on July 22, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Health Tips, Healthy Foods Choices

    I recently found this new product line at Costco.  Made from lentils (instead of grain), it’s high in fiber and protein and low-glycemic which means it doesn’t spike your blood sugar.  Even more important, it tastes good and is quite similar in texture to regular pasta.  Just make sure to not overcook it.  Add your […]

    Staying on Track

    Posted on April 3, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss

    It’s easy to get off track, isn’t it…  We start off with a great plan and then something comes along to distract or even sabotage us.  This is true in all aspects of our life but especially true when it comes to weigh loss.  Losing weight can seem an insurmountable task and keeping it off […]

    Is food your friend?

    Posted on March 25, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss, Healthy Foods Choices

    A 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.  In a similar way, we were meant to enjoy our food and […]

    Is food your enemy?

    Posted on March 18, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss, Loving Your Body

    Continuing from my previous blog… I think we need a paradigm shift when it comes to diets and weight loss, particularly in how we view food.  Too often diets teach us to have a poor attitude towards food – making food either the enemy (something to be avoided as much as possible) or our master […]

    Why Women Struggle to Have a Healthy Weight

    Posted on March 11, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss

    Our society has 2 extremes. On the one hand, unrealistic attitudes and pictures of what the female body should look like surround us. On the other hand, the reality is that many women struggle to have a healthy weight.  I believe the answer lies in first letting go of these unrealistic body images and then, […]

    A New Way of Thinking about Dieting…

    Posted on March 4, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss, Loving Your Body

    There’s a new way of thinking about diets that’s radically different from the current diet scene and it’s growing in popularity.  In a nutshell, it’s about getting healthy first and letting the weight loss follow naturally.  What does this mean? First and foremost, it means coming from the perspective of appreciating and loving your body […]

    Is it time for a better plan?

    Posted on February 27, 2014 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss

    Often 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.  It doesn’t have to be this way. In […]

    Christmas Day #7 :  Christmas is a time for relaxed eating and socializing. Savour your food. Put your fork down between bites and enjoy every mouthful.

    Christmas Day Tip #6:  Know when enough is enough. Stop eating when you are satisfied not when you are stuffed.  You have a fridge and microwave. Use them. There’s always tomorrow and leftovers. Save room for dessert or leave it until the next day.

    Christmas Day Tip #5:  I once heard someone say, “You can have what you really want but you can’t have everything.”  It was stated about money but I believe it also applies to food.  Be choosy!  Maybe hold off on the bread and appi’s so you have more room for dessert. Forgo the potatoes for […]

    4 Days to a Healthier Happier Christmas

    Posted on December 21, 2013 by Dr.Diana in Healthy Holidays

    Christmas Day Tip # 4:  Don’t forget the “veggies”. As always, they should be the foundation of your diet. Be adventuresome with this. Often Christmas brings us “veggie” choices that aren’t always as readily available. Try something new that you haven’t eaten before. Experiment with new spices and herbs. Be creative. Healthy cooking can be […]

    5 Days to a Healthier Happier Christmas

    Posted on December 20, 2013 by Dr.Diana in Healthy Holidays

    Christmas Day Tip #3 :  Stay rested and relaxed. Don’t forget how important a good night’s sleep is to having a reasonable appetite.  Remember when you are lacking in sleep, you will be driven to eat more than you need.  Indulge in an afternoon nap if you’re overtired.  Take time to rejuvenate and refresh yourself.
