  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 […]

  Posted on December 22, 2013 by Dr.Diana in Healthy Holidays

  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 […]

  Posted on November 20, 2012 by Dr.Diana in Effective Weight Loss, fast food, Healthy Foods Choices, Nutritional Supplements
